As you walk around Riga, be sure to observe JJugenda Stila Nami, Riga, the predominant architectural style of over one-third of the buildings in the city's central district. This movement celebrated artistic freedom and dramatic elements. Accompanying the economic boom of Latvia in the late 19th century, the flamboyant style also appeared in great European cities like Paris, Barcelona, and Moscow. Very quickly it came to dominate Riga, shaping hundreds of its buildings--800 of which can be viewed today. Stroll the streets of the capital and admire the Art Nouveau blend of elements, such as gargoyles and dragons, combined with floral lines and profoundly geometric shapes. Plan your JJugenda Stila Nami, Riga visit and explore what else you can see and do in Riga using our Riga vacation builder.

Modern (Art Nouveau, Jugendstil) district must visit place for arch-lovers. Many modern buildings concentrated in one place keep your attention for a couple of hours. more »
