This place is just begging to be left alone, so all the better for you to go sneak a peak while its still on Secret Squirrel status...
Just a few stops by tram or a nice walk up the river side. Formerly used as a Loading Dock for Cargo ships, Andrejsala has in recent years become a Safe Haven for the fresh & Funky Burn-outs to express their artistic achievements or attempts.
The reflective stencil work & industrial charm of this area are the first things that hit you, but if you brave souls dare to venture inside one of the many brick & sheet metal dwellings, you may be surprised at what you find...
Cafes, indie art galleries, mid-afternoon dance parties, & late night "Spokes of Fury" bike races, this place has got it all with a view of the Old Town & the lovely Daugava river to boot. U wont feel forced to do anything, this is an open space for people to be & be themselves...
The state has been so kind as to post-pone its inevitable plans to gobble this place up. So for now, the old abandoned Soviet era ferry, cranes that look like dinosaurs brings it back to the days of Alan Ginsberg meet's Cold-war kids...
What the fuck is that supposed to mean?? You gotta' go to know!! It's all the alternative there that Old Town is missing. The bar-cinema-concert venue 'dirty deal café' (www.dirtydeal.lv) opens most evenings so...
There is also a hostel here, the 'Singalong' - cool place! Artist residence, programmes & kinda' getting together.
The entire Art village - that is Andrejsala.
