About Riga
Riga is the Baltics' most cosmopolitan city, distinguished by one of the world's largest concentrations of Art Nouveau architecture—1,000+ buildings decorated in fantastical rococo exuberance. The medieval Old Town, restored after Soviet occupation, retains guild buildings and narrow streets. The Daugava River divides the city, parks fill the former fortress walls, and the city pulses with contemporary culture—galleries, music, nightlife—alongside its architectural treasures.
