Kaleju iela in Riga's Old Town is one of those streets that, despite its compact format, is full of architectural details. Here, between the well-preserved facades, you discover Riga from a new perspective - perhaps not immediately impressive, but definitely with its own charm.

If you stroll through this cobblestone street on a quiet evening, you will notice the special mix of restored and less well-maintained buildings. Some facades literally shine in the light of the street lamps, while others show their history in the peeling paint. Kaleju iela feels like a journey back in time, but in an unobtrusive, everyday way.

During the day, you can take a break in small cafes here while looking at the lovingly decorated facades. A few steps further you will also find modern shops, which offers an exciting contrast to the historic buildings. Overall, the street is a good example of how Riga bridges the gap between old and new - while retaining its very own character.
