The location is very close to Old Town, you just need to cross the Akmens (Stone) Bridge and turn to the right. They have a small cafe where you can have a cup of coffee or glass of local beer, sit by the riverside and enjoy the quiet and peaceful atmosphere and one of the best views of Riga and its famous church spires.

The stairways, wrapped in fantastic paintings, lead to studies once inhabited by famous Latvian writers and artists. Breathtaking exhibits take you back a hundred years. Full of exhibits but do not rush as the museum is quite small.

You’ll find open air markets, concerts, movie nights and small festivals held almost every week. It’s also worth a visit for the slow food restaurant, getting a good Italian wine in the wine store, checking out the gallery, staying the night at the manor house or simply enjoying the friendly people.

You can come here both for art and for architecture. While seeing the exhibitions, pay attention to the 19th century building inspired by the Venetian Renaissance palaces. It was opened after a restoration on 2011.

In is soma days when a factory produces chocolate and the wind is blowing from right side surrounding streets fills up with chocolate aroma. Bitter, sweetish aroma. I suggest starting aroma hunting from Palidzibas street. Not every day you can get the smell. After that you take a tour of the museum and sit in a local chocolate shop.

Riga is famous for the "Minox" spy camera, but if you want to really dive into the world of photography, this museum is your place. We’re talking 10,000-odd pieces of equipment, negatives, documents and books and more. Analogue lovers will appreciate the surreal setting.

"Rīgas Mākslas telpa" is the widest gallery in the Old Town, always displaying fantastic under-the-radar exhibitions, like works of "lost" Soviet generations etc. The exhibits change every two or three months, making sure there’s always something new to see.
