Ķīpsala is an island on the left bank of the Daugava river, connected to Riga city center and Pārdaugava by the Shroud Bridge. Ķīpsala is divided from the rest of Riga by the Daugava in the east, Roņu dīķis in the north, Zunda in the west and Agenskalna līcis in the south.

In recent years Ķīpsala has become a prestigious area for living in Riga. In Ķīpsala there is a campus of the RTU including a newly renovated dorm and the Olimpia shopping center.
