Description
Let yourself be enchanted and surprised by the sophisticated Art Nouveau flair in Riga. Experience Riga as a vibrant metropolis at the beginning of the 20th century and today.
The tour begins on Freedom Street, where you can believe the statement that Riga is a vibrant metropolis. First we look at the outside of some Art Nouveau houses on Freedom Street, built in the style of Latvian national romanticism. Then we go to Elisabethstrasse, where Heinz Erhardt once lived. Elisabethstrasse and the nearby Albertastrasse are characterized by the decorative Art Nouveau style of Michael Eisenstein. And finally we visit the famous Riga Art Nouveau Museum, which is much more than just a museum. It is an Art Nouveau apartment with a piano room, fireplace room, dining room and bedroom and kitchen. And the guides there are dressed according to the spirit of the times and the era. A short musical interlude awaits you in the piano room, but in the kitchen we also reveal the name of Heinz Erhardt's favorite meal. By the way, you can taste this in many pubs in Riga.
