A chill from the cold war! Chemical or Nuclear attack, an underground nuclear bunker would protect the Soviet high army command and high ranking communist party members. You will devour Soviet food on the sounds of retrol vynil. This experience will whisk you back to the cold war years of the 70's. Awaiting from directives from Moscow, you will become yourself the eyes and ears of the KGB.
*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
Museum fare, guiding and transfer included

My sincere thanks to all the Rigaoutthere team and Austin in particular with all your assistance with our recent End of Season Football Tour in Riga. The whole weekend including both football matches against Riga Utd were a real success. Although managing a group of 42 footballers for a weekend has its challenges, everything went smoothly and without any problems. Well done!!
