We went to see this based on reviews on TripAdvisor. Yes, it's a pretty building, buts that's about it.You can't go inside and we didn't see any information nearby about the place either.

This place shouldn't be missed on any trip to Riga! We went back to view it at night, also. Although it has been rebuilt, it's still amazing.

Starting point for our tour of the old town, easy to find and where the City bus tours start from.Took some good photos.

We visited all of the buildings / areas marked out as places of interest on the Riga map. House of the blackheads is one worth a visit, it's a very impressive building - we didn't go inside though, not sure if it's possible for the public to go in?

The House of the Blackheads, as well as the Town Hall Square, has been rebuilt (several times; the last one after World War II) over the centuries.It was named like that after the execution by decapitation of one of the leaders of the traders association which occupied the building. It is probably the most beautiful building in Riga.When the Chancery of the President of Latvia moved here, in recent years, unfortunately the Blackheads House has been closed to visitors.

As we visited at Christmas, we were lucky enough to have snow. The buildings around the House of Blackheads were lit up and looked fabulous. They are also lovelyin the daylight.

A key landmark in the Old City.The house has been rebuilt as it was destroyed in the war.Currently in use as the Presidential Residence - But still worth seeing the facade : impressive at night when floodlit.
