Riga Art Nouveau Walking Tour

[ShipsandDipper]

I'm wondering if in Riga, it would be best to do some sort of walking tour to get the most out of viewing the Art Nouveau buildings. Can anyone recommend a walking tour, or direct me to a good written tour that we could follow ourselves? Thank you.

That was exactly what we did in 2010 when we stopped in Riga. I think it was in Lonely Planet Lativa book that had a walking tour. Perhaps your library has a copy. You could just get those pages--a couple--copied instead of purchasing the book. It was fairly easy to follow. We literally walked off the ship and went to the Resistance(may be another name) Museum--very interesting. The buildings were fantastic. We had a cappuccino in a little shop--had a design on top plus free bathrooms! Then we wandered back to the ship. Very cheap port stop and we really loved it. Enjoy.

Thank you so much! I happened to be going to the library anyway so while I was there I picked up the Lonely Planet and I think that tour will suit us very well. I really appreciate your response.
