Welcome to the "Sherlock Holmes Birthday"

Riga has a good tourism potential receiving more and more tourists from all over the world every year. However, we do not stop searching for new attractive parts of the city. Riga creative agency "PR-Līnija" offers residents and guests to have a look at the city from the cinematic point of view, and has initiated a new annual holiday - "Sherlock Holmes Birthday".

Many films have been shot in Riga, some of which became a cult: "Seventeen Moments of Spring," "Theatre", "Long road in the dunes." Perhaps, the film directed by Russian film director Igor Maslennikov "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson " where the role of the great detective was brilliantly performed by Vasily Livanov is the most famous.

According to Queen Elizabeth, a character embodied by Livanov, is the real Holmes. Despite the fact that the work of Conan Doyle was adapted more than 300 times. Portrait of the Holmes-Livanov adorns the famous house on Baker Street, and the Livanov-Holmes was awarded by Order of the British Empire.

So on Saturday, 28th January of 2012 Riga will celebrate the 158th anniversary of Sherlock Holmes for the first time!

Where else to celebrate the birthday of the great detective of all times? Certainly here, in Riga, where the film was shot, and he was able to incarnate the most famous and most authentic image of Holmes.
