The Communist Riga Free Walking Tour Latvia — #1
1/8

Overview of the tour in Riga

With this free walking tour of Communist Riga, you will find out about the Soviet past of Latvia's capital and discover some of the horrible stories about the KGB. During the tour, we'll reveal some of the most significant moments in Riga's communist past while looking at some of the most important heritage buildings built at the time.

We'll talk about the strong Soviet influence in the area while observing iconic landmarks such as the Freedom Monument, the Congress Hall, the Nativity of Christ Cathedral, the former Lenin Monument place, and The Corner House, the former KGB headquarters in Latvia.

What's more, we'll learn about the ordinary life of Latvians under the Soviet occupation of the country. We will share what it was like to have a family, raise children, go to school, dress, and eat under Soviet rule, and how humor helped all of us to get through the difficult times. After a two-hour review of this period in Latvia's history, we'll arrive at The Corner House, where our free walking tour of Communist Riga will come to an end.

This activity includes:

  • Laima Clock
  • The Freedom Monument
  • The Corner House
  • Riga Congress Centre
  • Riga Nativity of Christ Orthodox Cathedral
