The tour begins at Grēcinieku Street 7, taking you through the charming medieval streets of the Old Town, past the Freedom Monument, and into the city’s most magnificent Art Nouveau neighborhoods. Riga is home to nearly 400 Art Nouveau buildings – more than any other city in Europe.

Along the way, your guide will highlight the masterpieces of Mikhail Eisenstein on Alberta Street, where facades feature lions, gargoyles, sphinxes, birds, and elegant ladies adorned with flowers. Each building tells its own story in stone, and your guide will explain the meaning behind these symbols and details.

You’ll also learn fascinating facts about Riga’s unique architecture – a blend of creativity, craftsmanship, and cultural pride.

Riga’s Art Nouveau and wooden architecture have earned it a place on the UNESCO World Heritage List, and its stunning buildings often rank among Europe’s Top 10 Art Nouveau landmarks, alongside Barcelona, Vienna, and Brussels.
