The Riga Companion

Ornate Art Nouveau façades, a market housed in old Zeppelin hangars, and a river-bound old town --- Latvia's grand capital, with room to make it yours. The Riga Companion's signature chapter takes on a question most visitors never think to ask: The World's Greatest Concentration of Art Nouveau. Roughly a third of the buildings in Riga's city center are Art Nouveau --- a density unmatched by any other city on Earth.
