Riga Castle

If you are lucky enough to visit the inside of the Riga Castle on that one special day of the year (for 2019 it was May 18) you're in for a treat! There are performances throughout the night and you get to see the beautiful interior of the president's home! You can see where foreign visitors are greeted and where they hold large events. Don't miss it if you happen to be in town on that day!

Historical place with a long history. Entourage of past years. Now it is the Presidential Palace.

It’s really amazing place for visit
There are thousands of restaurants from whole eu and American countries
So you will have a great meal like your home around this area
And it has so much historical buildings and structures to visit

Nice, but you can’t get in as it is presidential office.

Just a big office for a president and nothing much to look at from the outside.

Pretty castle but you can see its not old one

Nothing special. Great building with armed soldiers guarding gates. Front of building there is information about Latvian past and present President(s). It’s nice to walk past in the evening while the lights are on.

Riga Castle (Latvian: Rīgas pils) is a castle on the banks of River Daugava in Riga, the capital of Latvia. The castle was founded in 1330. Its structure was thoroughly rebuilt between 1497 and 1515. Upon the castle's seizure by the Swedes, they constructed spacious annexes in 1641. The fortress was continually augmented and reconstructed between the 17th and 19th centuries. Sometime in the 1930s, some renovation work was done by architect Eižens Laube. The Latvian government declared the castle its residence in 1938. Today it is the official residence of the President of Latvia as well as home to several museums.
