Riga Art Nouveau Tour

Did you know that Riga is the European city with the highest number of Art Nouveau buildings? If you want to get to know them, we'll meet at 3:30 pm by the Laima Clock.

We'll spend two hours walking through the streets of Riga in search of its impressive collection of Art Nouveau buildings, such as the Opera House, the University, the German Embassy, and the Nativity Cathedral. These were mostly built between 1904 and 1914, a time when the present-day Latvian capital was one of the most prosperous cities in the Russian Empire.

We'll explore the historic centre of Riga, particularly Alberta Street, which boasts 8 protected buildings. You'll notice their colourful façades and detailed decorations.

We'll also learn about the history of prominent Art Nouveau architect, Mikhail Eisenstein. The tour will conclude at the entrance of the Art Nouveau Museum at 4 pm.
