We visited the House of the black heads on the first day we were in Riga. We chose the option with a sparkling wine (which was delicious). We sat and admired the wonderful chandeliers and the paintings, there was a piano in the room and it would have been nice if someone was playing that whilst you walked around. We loved the games room but found the upstairs a little lacking in information. We preferred the cellar part of the building as that was original and found the information a bit more interesting. Overall I’m glad we went as it was a good introduction to Riga.

What a beautiful building! The history associated with this palace was excellent with the information provided and the interactive displays. I enjoyed how it has recently played a role in serving as the presidential office. And with a glass of champagne, this experience was perfect.

Amazing Building. Amazing Rooms. Well worth the Visit. Excellent Value. A look back in time to Latvia's History. Latvians are very proud of this. Staff very helpful. Most things are explained in English with wall Poster Information. No Linguistic Equipment but can still enjoy finding out what you would like to know. Maybe equipment could be provided for future. Would recommend a visit to anyone. You can go around on your own/couple or group. Again, an enjoyable time in history, not to be missed.
