Help improve Atlas Obscura by expanding Jana Seta Map Shop with additional information or photos.

Within Berg’s Bazaar in Riga, Latvia is the Jana Seta Map Shop. Shelves reach the ceiling and are filled with paper maps. At the end of the Cold War, many maps created in the former USSR became available and this shop bought them all.

All of the maps inside have been scanned but there are still many originals available for sale. The details on these maps are amazing, yet scary. This shop also is filled with travel books and globes.

This shop is part of the Berg's Bazaar shopping area near Old Town Riga.
