About Bastejkalna Park

The Bastejkalna Park is located along the canal of the Old Town of Latvia following the River Daubawa. It is an artificial canal which meanders amidst the neatly laid park and walkways. It is a massive garden that separates the center from the Old Town. There is a hill with a view, and a circular path to reach the top.

This park is right next to the Freedom Monument, which is named after the Bastion Hill.
