Rīgas iela & Unity House
Rīgas iela / Vienības nams
A pedestrian shopping street in the city center, lined with 19th-century brick buildings and ending at the 1930s functionalist Unity House.
Rīgas iela is Daugavpils' main pedestrian street, running from near the railway station to the city center. Along it stand red-brick and stucco buildings from the Russian Imperial period, together with cafés and shops. In summer, you'll find outdoor seating and sculptural installations. At the southern end of the street, the Unity House (Vienības nams), built in the 1930s, is a leading example of functionalist architecture from Latvia's independence period. It now houses a theatre and a library. Nearby Dubrovin Park is a good place to rest.
