"Riga Castle-changing of the guard" Top 5 Page for this destination Riga Region Off The Beaten Path Tip by Dabs

I'm not sure how often it happens, we happened to be there when they were changing the guard in front of the Riga Castle. I wouldn't go out of my way to see this, it's a pretty simple ceremony that involves the two guards being relieved of their duties by two other men and 1 more to escort them, I guess.

Right before they passed thru the door back into the palace, the three very serious looking guards dropped their serious expressions and started walking normally, I thought it rather curious that they didn't wait until they were out of view.
