Riga Castle was built in 1330 and is now the seat of Latvia's President.
Since its construction, the castle has been partially destroyed and rebuilt several times. The last major renovation took place in 1515.
A walk up Castle Hill is a must during your stay in Riga, even if you cannot visit the inside of the castle – from Castle Square, however, you have a beautiful view of the city.
