Riga attractions

The House of the Black Heads is a reconstruction of a 14th-century fraternity house located in the old town of Riga, Latvia. The original building was erected for the Brotherhood of Black Heads, a guild for unmarried merchants, shipowners, and foreigners in Riga. The building was bombed by the Germans on June 28, 1941, and finished off by the Soviets in 1948. It was rebuilt between 1996 and 1999. Now visitors can take a self-guided (or guided) tour of the rebuilt house and learn the history of the society. It's an eye-opening look at how wealthy men lived over the centuries!

The Cosmos Illusion Museum is a museum of optical illusions and eye-tricking interactive exhibits in the heart of Riga, Latvia. The museum features over 30 mind-bending exhibits that visitors are encouraged to get hands-on with. Suitable for all ages!

Fashion Museum Riga is (unsurprisingly!) a museum dedicated to iconic fashion designs that have defined various eras throughout history. Located in the heart of Old Riga, it's the first museum of its kind in the Baltics.

The World of Hat Ethnic Museum encompasses over 400 items including hats, shawls, bonnets and more. It is located in Riga, Latvia.
