The Grand Riga Art Nouveau Free Tour
About the tour
With more than 800 Art Nouveau buildings, Riga has the world's biggest collection of this
exuberant style. And this tour is a captivating journey through this incredible heritage!
A highlight of visiting Riga is wandering down Alberta iela to enjoy the bizarre-yet-beautiful
creations of Mikhail Eisenstein. But that's only the tip of the iceberg of Art Nouveau in Riga. So on my tour, I'll also show you fantastic structures by Latvian architects Konstantīns Pēkšēns
and Eižēns Laube. Along the way, we'll drop into the place where a saint was born, see a chunk of the Berlin Wall, stroll in Riga's oldest park and find out where John F. Kennedy stayed in
Riga. And check out a hilarious ugly poster of Putin near the Russian embassy!
