Riga is also known as a pearl of architecture and home to the largest concentration of Art Nouveau architecture in the world.

Peaceful but at the same time dynamic and diverse, Riga offers experiences for every taste in art, music, theatre or design and a broad range of cultural activities all year around. Nicknamed as the Paris of the North, Riga will surely leave a lasting impression in your sense and sensibility.
