Заглянув в историю проекта, можно предположить, что его корни уходят в далекий 1972 год, когда была организована первая игра - ориентирование по историческим объектам Риги. Ежегодно в играх принимали участие более 500 человек – школьники, студенты и даже рабочие коллективы.

: Yes, something like that. Historic sites, though. Historical is used as well, with regard to landmarks. Historic is more common. SITES not sights.

If the reference is to orienteering as a game or sport, then I would recommend 'orienteering around historic sites,' and Katerina O. would be correct on that count, but, 'across' should not be used.

Wikipedia:The history of orienteering begins in the late 19th century in Sweden, where it originated as military training. The actual term "orienteering" was first used in 1886 at the Swedish Military Academy Karlberg and meant the crossing of unknown land with the aid of a map and a compass. The competitive sport began when the first competition was held for Swedish military officers on 28 May 1893 at the yearly games of the Stockholm garrison.[1] The first civilian competition, in Norway on 31 October 1897, was sponsored by the Tjalve Sports Club and held near Oslo. The course was long by modern standards, at 19.5 km, on which only three controls were placed. The competition was won by Peder Fossum in a time of 1 hour, 47 minutes, and 7 seconds.[2]

I believe that in old European cities frequented by tourists, most historic sites ARE historic sights. Any _substantiated_ objections?

What’s wrong with “sights”? There’s a Russian word for that: “достопримечательности.”
