Galleria
Galleria Riga is the name of the newest Shopping center in Riga, which opened its doors just 2 days ago.
It seems that stakeholders and/or designers has very narrow imagination to name it like that, because
1: the name says absolutely nothing;
2: it is very easy to confuse Galleria Riga with Galerija Centrs;
3: name Riga is already taken by another shopping mall Riga Plaza;
4. it's stupid to name some place with the same name as the city it is located in. E.g. I can't imagine New York Mall in New York, or Café de Paris in Paris.
Although interior designers had done their job perfectly, the mall looks great, especially the terrace on top. Fresh photos of Riga roofs are coming!
Galeria is located in a very center of Riga, on Dzirnavu iela 67, which is between Terbatas and Brivibas streets.Although interior designers had done their job perfectly, the mall looks great, especially the terrace on top. Fresh photos of Riga roofs are coming!

Some say that its zhopping centre, because almost all shops are closed :))
Zhopping centre - it could be a good nickname for this place :) In order to not confuse it with others :)
Interesting photo!!! I love the angle and what seems to be a bit of distortion, though it's probably more of an optical illusion...great shot!!!
but who is gonna buy there if economy situation is still bad in Latvia???was it really accurate idea???
Of course, there is at least one "Cafe de Paris" in Paris, 158 Oberkampf street (11th district), with even a theatre: http://aucafedeparis.pagesperso-orange.fr/
Be positive sometimes and don't systematically criticize what happens in Riga !

I don't find riga.in negative mostly - he's doing a very good PR!
I'm living on a Danish island, just love it, brings lots of photos, but not are positive, and why not write about it :)
Critisism is the road to perfectness ;)
In fact I am almost always trying to show Riga better (in my understanding what is better) than it is :D
You are right, maybe Cafe de Paris is not the best example, although I guess everybody got my point.
That's right!Riga.in isn't critical at all and just saying how it is. I am sure that everyone got your point bro. Keep going and stay chill!
ohh, craaap, the name is stupid... everything is named "bla bla bla riga" or "riga bla bla bla", hate that :@
Is galleria's owner italian? I heard some italian company is opening something great in the old city. Please let me know:)
Have you been to Minneapolis? There is a Mall of America there. So what's wrong with mall of Riga name?
cos every building in riga is called "riga blah blah blah" "blah blah blah riga" or something allways is riga in name of it... can someone figure out something different?
What do you mean by this sentence: Although interior designers had done their job perfectly, the mall looks great, especially the terrace on top.
Doesn't make any sense. If they had done their job perfectly, then of course it looks great!
