From our experience, Riga has one of the greatest collection of art nouveau buildings in Europe.

A third of buildings in the centre of Riga were built in this style. These date between 1896 and 1913, with the most striking examples being found around Albert St. If you’re in Riga, we really recommend you take in some of this stunning architecture.

The new city (by which I mean the part that lies outside the old city centre with its cobbled streets, sightseeing and restaurants) has many art nouveau buildings, as well as lots of good value bars and restaurants not always mentioned in the guides. Together with the occasional example of socialist architecture and some beautiful orthodox churches, the new Riga is just as interesting as Riga Veca.

The streets surrounding Old Riga to the north-east, east and south-east. You could, for example, head out of the city centre via the Freedom Monument on Brivibas Iela and then turn into Blaumana or Dzinarvu
