Explore the modern side of Riga with a local guide. Leave behind the cultural gems of Old Riga and discover the vibrant energy of Latvia’s capital city. Admire the stunning Art Nouveau buildings that characterize this part of the world. We will also explore some of the courtyards and see the private residences of famous Rigans.
