With a reflection

The central station from outside with a reflection of shopping mall.

7Up

This is inside the Riga central train station, the tunnel leads to track exits.

Railway (dzelzceļš)

To put it simply, the central train station and a surrounding area in Riga is a massive shopping mall. Nothing else. The cash extracting machine.

Floor advertisment

In Central Train Station the projector from the ceiling is putting picture on the floor.

GODVIL

What happens when god and evil join their forces? Look at the screen on the wall - a night club Godvil is born - a recent addition to Riga night life industry.

The sky looks rather demonic as well.

Waiting area

Guess what they are waiting for under the Riga sign?

Ministry of Transport

Academy of Sciences tower at the back - the Ministry at the front.

Gan Bei

The chain restaurant Gan Bei in Origo shopping centre offer Eastern kitchen. The premises are very open and spacious. For more intimate ambiance visit one in Spice shopping mall.

Central Station

What you can see in the background - St. Peters church and Stockmann shopping mall. We are waiting for the train to go to the Livu Akvaparks (water park - click here for more info) in nearby Jurmala resort.

Quarter past one

Riga central station is over the street beyond that line of street lights by the TAXI busstop.
And the puddle has reflected every single one as well as the "watchtower" :) with the bar inside it, Aigars has posted before.

Names

The rumor is that these names on cobble stones near Riga Central Station are belonging to people who has died from HIV. Do you know anything about it?

Street Lamps

Two lamps and the Central Station tower in the middle - this is Barona street across the Canal.

- Stop. What time is it?

This is Riga Railway Central Station. The architecture here isn't most loved by Rigans though there is a cozy Sky Bar and restaurant in the tower on the 10th to 12th floor. I had a dinner there yesterday and chef seems doing a good job.
