Hi! I'm Laura and Riga is my hometown, my office and the subject of my studies. Guiding tours is the best way to share my love for my city, its people, culture, history, nature, architecture and gastronomy. I'm always learning and improving. I got a bachelor's and master's degree in history of art and culture but I'm continuing to specialise in architecture and restoration. The best thing about my job is meeting you - people from all around the world. I love to see my country from the point of view of my clients while I share my knowledge about Riga and Latvia. Latvia is a small country but is has so much to offer! We have spectacular architecture, green parks, and flourishing cultural life. There are picturesque forests, refreshing lakes, and a breathtaking 500 km long coastline with white-sand beaches and tiny fishing villages. The tours I've listed is just a glimpse into the experiences that you can get in Riga and Latvia. Feel free to contact me to customise a tour for you. I look forward to meeting you in Riga! All the best, Laura Licensed Riga guide Bachelor's and Master's degree in Art History, working on the PhD now Specialising in architecture and heritage protection (6 months internship in the UNESCO Office of Florence, 12 months internship in a restoration workshop) Owner of a tourism agency in Riga, operating in all three Baltic States Driving license

Riga will knock you off your feet with its architecture. As one of the major cities of the Baltic Sea region it preserves excellent examples of each historical style from the Romanesque and Gothic architecture till Contemporary architecture. One of its main architectural attractions is its Art Nouveau buildings.
We will start the tour from the cruise ship terminal, your hotel or any other place convenient for you. The tour starts in the Old Town where you will discover its rich architectural heritage: the medieval churches, the Dutch Renaissance influence, the Northern Baroque facades, the Neo-Classicism, the Art Nouveau and even some excellent (and not as excellent) Soviet and contemporary buildings. All of this fits in beautifully in the medieval street plan of Riga's Old Town. Then we will take a stroll through Riga's beautiful parks and visit the Art Nouveau district. Riga is famous for its Art Nouveau. There are hundreds of beautiful, elegant and original buildings which played a part in shaping the appearance of the city. No wonder many people come to Riga just to see its architecture.
