Time for lunch
In the afternoon visit to the Art Nouveau district, including entrance to Art Nouveau Museum. The Art Nouveau District – Riga has more than 800 Art Nouveau buildings built in the end of 19th and beginning of 20th century. We would visit the most beautiful and most important part of the city hosting the Art Nouveau style buildings that were built by the famous and incredibly talented Latvian architect Mikhail Eisenstein. Riga could be easily called the northern form of Art Nouveau if you compare it to the buildings of Gaudi in Barcelona. Remarkable expression, individuality, artistry and aesthetic beauty will leave a lasting impression on the visitors.
