About this event
Embark on the Riga Audio Tour: Legends, Churches, and Guilds of the Old City
A choir once sang as bombs fell over Riga’s old town, echoing through the gilded spires and secret courtyards. These centuries-old streets have seen more than beauty—they hide rebellions, breathtaking escapes, and chilling secrets at every turn.
Let this self-guided audio tour plunge you into Riga’s heart, unveiling corners and true tales that most passersby never notice. Hear the city whisper stories of courage and forbidden plots as you trace your own path across its storied stones.
Why did banners of defiance once flutter above the Dome Cathedral? What unsolved mystery lingers behind the solemn gaze of the Freedom Monument? Who vanished forever beneath the shadowy arches of St. James’ Cathedral after a single cryptic message?
Stride through passageways of intrigue, sweeping from sunlit plazas to hushed sanctuaries. Every step bursts with drama and revelation, transforming Riga’s familiar skyline into a tapestry of living history.
Set out now—Riga’s hidden world is waiting to be revealed.
