Overview of your Riga tour:

Riga Moscow suburb is pre city in direction of Moscow or as we call it "Maskachka". Since 15th century this was the place to stay for people and sometimes even refuges from East side. That's why here can be seen and visited the churches of different religious beliefs like Russian orthodox, Oldbelievers, Jews, Lutherans, Catholics, Armenians, Baptists. In the darkest times of 20th century, the Jewish Ghetto was placed here. As well as old tales of Riga say that true friendship can be found here and life at the fullest bloom happens here. Because people of Maskachka have found their positiveness. Probably the poorest and most colorful place of Riga. And that's why the place of wooden architecture. Unpopular gem of Riga. Follow me without any fear.
