100% recommend. I would even say it's the best attraction in the whole city. With sparkling wine for extra €2 you have an amazing experience:)

Pretty nice building. I love the fact that they rebuild the building after the tear down in 1948. A lot of beautiful details on the facades, and when you enter the museum, you are taken back in time from the basement all the way to the 1. floor. Highly recommendable. Even my teenager found it interesting! ?

One of the best places to visit in Riga. Entry ticket is cheap, and there is even an extra student discount. You can learn a lot here about local culture and history. The house itself is beautiful, inside and outside. Staff is also very friendly and helpful. Oh, and it is one of the cheapest places in the city to try their local liquor, the Riga Black Balsam. One shot was around €2.50 if I remember correctly.

A really instructive interesting Museum with a lot of history. It was originally constructed in 1334 and served as a venue for meetings and celebrations for the Brotherhood of Blackheads, a guild for unmarried merchants, shipowners, and foreigners in Riga. It has been renovated over time and was damaged during World War II and subsequently demolished by the Soviet government³. It was rebuilt between 1996 and 2000, and today it serves as a museum. It is a pity so much was destroyed but great that it was rebuilt.

A must visit in Riga. Entrance were cheap and you can get audio guides that are automated and gives you a good synopsis of all the rooms you're visiting. It's short and sweet and yet gives you a good enough understanding of what's before you. Staff were helpful and always ready to assist but a map could perhaps be offered as the route was confusing initially .
