*11.00 Departure from Riga center
*12.00-13.00 The KGB’s hidden underground nuclear bunker
This is a unique opportunity to visit Ligatne’s top-secret nuclear bunker. The bunker, which remains almost unchanged from the Soviet era, only became known to the Latvian public in 2003, twelve years after Latvia regained independence. This 2,000-square metre facility buried deep under Latvian soil was known simply as “The Pension”. It would have provided, in times of a nuclear attack from the ‘evil’ capitalist western countries, an escape for the leading members of the KGB and the Latvian Soviet government.
*13.00-13.30 Soviet nuclear bunker retro party
Experience this to believe it! The canteen at the Ligatne bunker appears to be set in a time-warp as it remains virtually untouched from the time of Soviet occupation and provides a full Soviet experience including retro vinyl discs and authentic nibbles washed down with vodka. Fortunately, the Russian food has definitely improved since those days!
* 14.00 Return to Riga
