Peter I house

A modern building with an excavated fragment of the historical fortification wall system along the river. The building has the best view terraces in Riga.

Actually two museums plus a number of special exhibits, though you pay one price. English, German and Russian descriptions of each permanent collections are provided in a booklet inside each exhibit hall. Both of the main museums are quite interesting, and they provide a good idea of what Riga was like in the past.

Covers the dramatic events that occurred in the tumultuous final year of the USSR, when Soviet authorities sent troops into Riga to overthrow the elected Latvian government.

Pretty to look at, but not open for visitors.

Individual and group fine art gallery.

First Christmas tree in Riga was in 1510!
