Latvia · ART NOUVEAU WALKING TOURS
Roughly a third of central Riga went up in one fifteen-year burst before 1914, which makes it the densest Art Nouveau quarter in Europe. These 7 walks cover Alberta iela and Elizabetes iela, most take in the museum apartment, and all of them will have you looking above the second floor.

“This is a wonderful walking tour of the art nouveau architecture of Riga. Not limited to where all the larger group are focused, you get an informed tour of different building types in a wider set of “new” Riga (outside the walled old town). Emils was fantastic. He studied art history and does this for fun- so he shows real interest and passion. He can recommend great food, shops, etc. It was wonderful to meet him and see an introduction to the highest concentration of Art Nouveau architecture in Europe!”

“Before I came to Riga, I didn't realize so many of Art Nouveau building here. But a good guide is very important. Iveta Vanaga is great. She is so knowledgeable. With a comfortable pace she showed every building and every details. We even stopped at a very beautiful gallery. Without a good guide I wouldn't have so much fun.”
