When you are visiting Riga there is a lot to do and see, and while some of the activities are exciting and stimulating, there is also a more serene and interesting one. There are walking tours organised and this is an ideal way to see the City. UNESCO has recognised that there is something special and unique about Riga and as a result they have named it the capital of Art Nouveau. The city has a chequered past and as a result there is a section that is modern and another that is full of old architecture. You can learn about the history of the place you are visiting and bound to begin to love.
