• Riga Art Nouveau Museum

• Town Hall Square
  Surrounded by beautiful re-built buildings, and a huge, ugly, Soviet monstrocity (but hey, that's the kind of thing the Soviets built...) But I came in November, and this square is by no means shielded from the frigid winds blowing in from the Dauga[...]
• Three Brothers
  The buildings are nice enough, but unless you want to visit the architecture museum, it really isn't worth trying to find it. It's easily missed and very difficult to photograph due to compact surroundings.[...]
• Laima Clock
  Nice landmark, especially when lit up at night.Laima chocolate shops have big cardboard models of the clock, but I was hoping they'd sell small, working models as souvenirs. They should really market the clock on their products.Though all the Laima [...]
• House of Blackheads

• Riga Art Nouveau Museum
  The museum is small, but a gem. The one lat admission fee is well worth it since the staff gives tours and know several languages. It didn't take too long either as the space is not very large.[...]
• Freedom Monument
  On the day we visited the monument and the parks on either side of it were filled with couples getting married. The monument and the parks make a great background for their wedding photos.[...]

  I loved wandering around the Art Nouveau district of Riga. The main areas to go to centre around Elisebetes iela,Strelnieku iela and Albert iela. The area around St Gertrudes Church was also interesting and there were some wonderful examples of Art [...]

• The Museum of the Occupation of Latvia
  Can be interesting to get to know about Latvian culture and history what was undercovered. BUT! Your time in museum will depend on translator who will tell you about everything you see. Don't let it take forever.[...]
