What to see on a Riga City Break
Riga is famous for its German Art Nouveau architecture and has some of the best examples of Jugendstil buildings in the world. Examples are spread around the city, or just head straight for Alberta Street. The Freedom monument was erected in 1934 and is the Latvian symbol of independence, it certainly worth a visit. Housed in five old German zeppelin hangars and a UNESCO world heritage site is Riga’s Central market. Here hundreds of market stall holders sell their produce from fresh and local to CD’s, but is defiantly worth a trip for the vibrant atmosphere set in these historical pavilions. Riga also has a Museum of national, art and Museum of occupation Latvia that are both interesting visit also.
