Top Latvia Attractions & Museums

From the top of the Latvian Academy of Sciences building, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Riga that most tourists miss. Spot the River Daugava, Riga’s Old Town, the central market, and much more from the Panorama Riga Observation Deck, as you spend as long as you like marvelling at the cityscape vistas.

An audio guide will be a good solution if you want to walk around the museum of Jaunmoku Palace alone. During the walk, there is a feeling that the first owner of the Palace, the former Mayor of Riga George Armitstead, is greeting you and showing you around the rooms of the Palace. The texts in Latvian are narrated by actor Jānis Skanis. In the 40-minute story (available in Latvian, Russian, English and Lithuanian) you can get to know the history of the Palace, the families of the owners and feel the atmosphere of the Palace at the beginning of the 20th century.
