Riga Soviet Walking Tour
Description
At the designated time, we'll meet up and set off on our Soviet tour of Riga. Explore the city's darkest moments in history as we walk through its streets.
As we stroll along the city's charming streets, we'll admire the iconic Academy of Sciences, known as Stalin's birthday cake during the Soviet era. Discover the intriguing story behind its nickname.
Inside the Museum of the Occupation of Latvia, we'll delve into the conflict between Germans and Russians that turned Riga into a battleground during World War II. Learn the untold details of this turbulent period.
We'll also pay tribute to the Latvian Fusiliers with a visit to the monument in Laukums Square, commemorating their role in the First World War. Hear about the controversies surrounding this sculpture due to its Soviet-era connections.
Throughout the tour, we'll pass by significant landmarks, such as the Monument to the Deportation, the Cathedral of the Nativity of Riga, the Parliament building, and the Memorial of the Barricades.
After 2 insightful hours, we'll conclude the tour in the city center.
