Latvians are probably the most well spoken english in Europe, which you wouldn't think, but the youth know Latvian, Russian and English very well so its never a problem communicating with most people, just the older soviets dont

Just a small clarification: these rules of following the original appearances apply only to the buildings of historic or artistic value, which is decided by Riga city council. Also, the rule applies only to external appearance of a building (facade), inside you can do pretty much whatever you want. As an example, an old building with such status of historic value was bought by a hotel chain and they were allowed to demolish everything but the wall facing the street - that had to be renovated. However, behind it is a completely new hotel building.

The beautiful Art Noveau buildings are privately owned and a family friend of mine owns a unit in one of the buildings shown in this video. 9:55. They had the interior gutted and then had it renovated to historical accuracy with ceiling art sculpture castings taken from moulds of original art in intact buildings. Many historical items have been stored in the basements of these buildings and they were able to restore a beautiful, original (but no longer functional) ceramic fireplace unit along with the original wood flooring.

This awareness is for Indian students/business who wish to study/work in Latvia. Please think twice before you go to Latvia. You can’t find any work there, government is allowing you to work but you have to pass Latvian language test (Russian company is taking only Russians and Latvian companies only Latvians). 25% especially youngsters unemployed who indulge in crimes, you must know Latvian language to do anything/ translation in Latvian. No industry, they don’t make anything living on aids from EU. Latvian Government even selling passport to get money for budget/fooling students, they will suck your money and in return you will get nothing. Always tensions between Russians and Latvians (50% Russians). Latvians are mostly poor, economy depends only on Russians. Still communist country (County is free from Russia, Latvian people think like a communist because they don’t like Russians/foreigners). Latvian laws favour only Latvians even Russians who are living there for years have no rights, they consider them non citizen. Indians have no rights even you are living legally, they will put you in jail or deport without telling reason, court will not help you (actually no one is going to hear you even courts). I highly don’t recommend this country for students who have a different skin colour, or race. They’re really really Racist people and very rude. Any place you can find racism but Latvia it’s exceptional they’re racist for no reason. They’re so racist and not open to any other races at all. They’re emotionless and have only one cold face. No offence but it’s hard really for darker skins. They will never even apologise if they hit you by mistake. And they have nothing to do but whining about their hates towards the Russians/foreigners. And they are so arrogant I don’t know why. If you want to study abroad go to Germany or Scandinavian countries (don’t have to pay tuition fees ). I think India is much better place to study and live, you won’t find another place like India. Don’t waste your money on countries like latvia, they have nothing to offer you. JAI HIND. These are only propaganda videos on youtube. Latvia has one of the lowest salaries in the EU + retarded government making all the young people to migrate. Country is half resist, full of bigoted, neonazis, prostitutes and thieves. Latvia lost all major industrial complexes now degrading agricultural and forest sector, shutting down secondary schools. Almost all capital sectors and banks are privatised by foreign ponzis. Ridiculous flat tax rates that doesn’t make any sense. There’s no hope for this country as long people won’t start actually doing something good. Mostly Latvian people think like criminals.
