Veldzes Street (Creative Factory Veldze Quarter)

Hidden in the heart of Riga, between Bruņinieku and Matīsa Streets, lies Veldzes Street – a newly created urban passage running through a former soft drink factory that has transformed into one of the city’s most creative and vibrant destinations. Historic industrial buildings, leafy courtyards, and an artistic atmosphere create the perfect setting for relaxed summer days. Outdoor terraces can be found at Gust. Bar, Backdoor Market Room, Ex Libris, RAA – Sun Garden, the Tiny Giant greenhouse, as well as Katkevich and Brūklene.

Lined with cafés, bars, restaurants, and cultural venues, Veldzes Street offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy specialty coffee, craft beer, great food, and cultural events. During the day, it’s a peaceful place for meetings and leisurely strolls, while evenings bring concerts, exhibitions, art happenings, and a lively urban energy.

Veldzes Street is one of those places you’re unlikely to discover by accident, but once you do, you’ll want to return again and again. Here, a historic factory complex has been reimagined as a contemporary city oasis where creativity, gastronomy, and summer atmosphere come together.
