Walking loops in Āgenskalns, Riga

Cross the Daugava and Agenskalns opens up in wooden architecture and residential quiet. The neighborhood's timber houses — many from the late nineteenth century — give the streets a texture entirely different from the Old Town's stone. The local market is small and unpretentious, serving a neighborhood that doesn't receive many tourists and doesn't seem to mind. The parks here are used by locals with dogs and children, and the Art Nouveau details on wooden facades suggest a period of confident prosperity that the neighborhood wears without showing off.
