Creative neighbourhoods

The Tallinn Street Quarter began its transformation around 2018, when a cluster of old, disused buildings - once part of an ambulance depot - was reimagined as a cultural and creative enclave. Spanning sixteen interconnected structures, the quarter has grown into a vibrant corner of Riga, where art, music, and casual social life merge among revitalized industrial exteriors and colourful murals.

A unique 19th century's complex of wooden buildings is now renovated in Pārdaugava. A group of friends and associates are actively involved in a project of preserving the historic atmosphere of the quarter and adapting it to the dynamics of the 21st century. Buildings invite you to enjoy Latvian and European design, fairs, art exhibitions and workshops at court-yards. The quarter's special feature - vintage LADA cars - adds a nostalgic touch. It's one of the most charming and offbeat places to visit in Riga for culture and design lovers.

Every city has neighborhoods that become neglected and forgotten as the years go by. No tourists flock there, and locals pass through without paying any attention. Such neighborhoods - in dire need of revitalization - have the potential of becoming a project for young, enterprising modern thinkers to establish something stylish and hip from practically point zero. This is the tale of Riga's Miera iela/street.

Explore small boutiques offering both local and international items, dine at one of the popular restaurants or cafes — both casual and up-market, or simply stroll about stopping to rest on one of the many benches.
