Līvu Square (Līvu laukums) is a vibrant open square in the heart of the Old Town, flanked by colourful medieval guild buildings and the Cat House. In summer it fills with outdoor café terraces; in winter it transforms into a small skating rink and Christmas market.
The square occupies the site of a former branch of the Rīdzene stream (the Līvu stream). Filled in and paved in the 19th century, it became a public square where the city's guild buildings face each other across the open space.
