Discover the beauty of Riga’s world-famous architecture on our Riga Art Nouveau Walking Tour. At the beginning of the 20th century, Riga was one of the most important port cities of the Russian Empire and became a centre of the Art Nouveau movement. Today, the city is known as one of Europe’s great Art Nouveau capitals.
On this guided walking tour, you’ll explore the contrast between Riga Old Town and the elegant Art Nouveau district in the quiet city centre. Discover the work of Latvian, German, Russian and Jewish architects who helped shape the city’s distinctive architectural character.
Your guide will take you along the famous Alberta Street, home to some of Riga’s most impressive Art Nouveau buildings, including masterpieces designed by the renowned architect Mikhail Eisenstein. Admire richly decorated façades, more restrained buildings and examples of Latvian National Romanticism.
Every building tells a story. Discover how Art Nouveau combined beauty, symbolism and functionality — and find out whether these spectacular buildings truly lived up to the movement’s ideals.
Riga is proud of its magnificent heritage of Art Nouveau architecture. The most significant expression of Art Nouveau architecture in Riga is marked by a wide variety of individual styles ranging from highly decorative to more intellectual interpretations. The walk will lead you through Old Riga to the Art Nouveau district which features the creations of the most controversial Art Nouveau architect Mikhail Eisenstein. Each building is worth seeing and admiring in this area.
