In no other city in the world can you find as many Art Nouveau houses as in Riga. The center of Art Nouveau is Alberta iela, where you can get your fill of the detailed decorated house facades.

In one of the houses there is a museum about Art Nouveau, where various everyday objects are also exhibited.

Don't forget to keep an eye out for Art Nouveau buildings in other corners of Riga as well, you will be amazed at how many facets of the architectural style can be found in the city!

In the Alberta iela you can visit an Art Nouveau apartment in an Art Nouveau building and in the basement is a museum.

Hiking

The buildings are not original but very well reconstructed. In one building there is a small Art Nouveau style museum with an apartment with matching furniture and other fixtures, if you like Art Nouveau in any case.
