    The new city

    Posted by Natascha 16 January 2006

    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

    Probably the best street for art nouveau buildings is Alberta - astonishing.
