Did You Know?

A Third of the City is Art Nouveau

Riga holds roughly 800 Art Nouveau buildings, the densest concentration anywhere in the world — around a third of the buildings in the centre. Most went up in a fifteen-year boom before the First World War.

The clock: Riga keeps UTC+2. Its Central Market occupies five former Zeppelin hangars, which is the single most literal example of postwar Latvian resourcefulness.
