Riga's Art Nouveau

I made sure that one of the things I did on my first day in Latvia, was to seek out Riga's art nouveau area.
As the town is easy enough to navigate, you can find it without a map, if you just know the general direction you need to head.

 These few streets were full of beautiful details, coloured buildings and quite a lot of cats...


The area had an 'emptier' feeling an the rest of the town, I suppose this is because it is a little out of the centre, so there aren't the shops, pubs and markets to draw people here.





  


Not far from here, there were a few museums (which I didn't have time to check out unfortunately) as well as a really stunning park.  Seek out.
