Impressive Art Nouveau display in this upscale living area. Nice to stroll around on your own or to participate to one of the walking tours !

Must see! Even if you are only in town for a couple of hours or a day. It is a highlight of the city. Recommend guide or downloading a digital guide for more info about it.

Must visit in Riga. Impressive street with art nouveau buildings

Must visit when in Riga! Superb Art Nouveau buildings

UNESCO world heritage street due to the many art nouveau buildings in the street brought about by the English mayor of Riga 1910-15

Wonderful 24 homes designed by same architect.

Alberta Street is one of Riga’s most beautiful and elegant streets, a true open-air museum of Art Nouveau architecture. Built mostly between 1901 and 1908, the buildings here were designed by some of Latvia’s most talented architects, including Mikhail Eisenstein, father of the famous film director Sergei Eisenstein. What makes these façades so captivating is the incredible attention to detail—flowing lines, ornate balconies, sculpted faces, floral patterns, and mythological figures all blending into a harmonious whole. This style, popular at the turn of the 20th century, reflected both the prosperity of Riga’s merchant class and the artistic freedom of the time. Walking down Alberta Street feels like stepping into a different era, when beauty and craftsmanship were just as important as function. The colors, textures, and whimsical details invite you to stop, look up, and admire every corner. ⭐ Tip: Visit in the morning for the best light for photography, and don’t forget to explore the nearby Art Nouveau Museum for more insight into this fascinating style.

The Freedom Monument in Riga stands proudly at the heart of the city, symbolizing Latvia’s independence and the spirit of its people. Just steps away, you’ll find the charming Bastejkalns Park, the elegant Opera House, and the bustling Old Town, each offering its own unique charm. A visit to Riga would not be complete without pausing at this monument and exploring the vibrant landmarks that surround it.

Freedom Monument – Riga We visited the Freedom Monument last Sunday on a cold, drizzling day, which somehow made the atmosphere even more powerful. Standing tall in the heart of Riga, the monument is a striking symbol of Latvia’s independence and resilience. Built in 1935, it honours those who gave their lives during the Latvian War of Independence, and remarkably, it survived both Soviet and Nazi occupations as a quiet but steadfast reminder of national pride. Even in the grey weather, the monument and the surrounding area felt peaceful and dignified. The eternal flame and the changing of the guards add a special sense of respect and history. Definitely worth stopping by—whether for the history, the symbolism, or just to take in one of Riga’s most meaningful landmarks.

A Powerful Symbol of Latvia’s Spirit The Freedom Monument is one of the most important and iconic landmarks in Riga. Standing tall and proud in the heart of the city, it’s a powerful tribute to Latvia’s independence and resilience. The sculpture is striking, and the surrounding area — especially with the canal and Bastejkalna Park nearby — makes it a beautiful spot to visit, reflect, and take photos. I’ve passed by many times but haven’t yet had the chance to attend one of the ceremonial guard changes or national events here — hoping to catch one in the future. Even without stepping closer, the atmosphere around the monument feels respectful and meaningful. It’s a must-visit for anyone wanting to understand Latvia’s history and national pride.

The Freedom Monument (Brīvības piemineklis) is a must-see in Riga, symbolizing Latvia’s independence and national pride. It's beautifully located in the city center and perfect for photos, especially at sunrise or sunset. Changing of the guard happens hourly—don’t miss it! Tip: Combine your visit with a walk through Bastejkalna Park or stop by the nearby Old Town. Benches nearby offer a great rest spot. Ideal for history lovers and first-time visitors!

Spectacular monument in the heart of Riga. The Riga sign and Laima clock is also located here. Large space to wander around.

Visiting the Freedom Monument in Rīga was a truly moving experience. Standing tall in the heart of the city, it’s more than just a striking piece of architecture—it radiates the spirit of Latvia’s independence and resilience. The figure of Liberty holding three gilded stars is a powerful symbol of unity and hope. A must-see when in Rīga

The Freedom Monument in Riga is a must-visit! A beautiful and meaningful landmark that represents Latvian independence and pride. The area around it is also lovely, with a peaceful park nearby that's perfect for a stroll or just relaxing. A great spot to take in some history and enjoy the city’s charm.

The Riga Cathedral is one of the oldest religious buildings in Latvia and the Baltic region. It was founded in 1211. The Cathedral has been rebuilt and enlarged several times over the centuries, having the architectural elements of Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque etc. The Cathedral has one of of the world's most valuable historic organs from 19th century. There is an entrance fee to visit the Cathedral, but it's worth every penny. It's truly majestic and very beautiful inside. Don't miss the cloister and courtyard area that contain a collection of artifacts and canons too. There is an option to attend organ concerts, explore the organ balcony, and take tower tours, though we didn't do any of these. Highly recommend a visit to this

Riga Cathedral is the largest cathedral in the Baltic region, located in the old town of Riga. Unfortunately, there is a fee to enter, but if you are not interested in church architecture, it may be more interesting to visit other places such as museums. Also, on some important days in Latvia, free concerts are held in the cathedral.

Visited for the piccolo concerto, I hesitated as it was not cheap for only 20min… it was worth every penny !!!! Instantly got goosebumps when the organist started hitting the keys and pedals. Such a unique experience in a beautiful cathedral.

You can't miss it! Everything about Riga Cathedral is big, bigger or biggest. It is the largest church in the Baltic States, the church is located on the largest square in the city and the organ was once the largest instrument in the world. The first church was built in 1211 by Bishop Albert van Buxhoeveden, the Romanesque altar is a reminder of this. At the end of the 14th/beginning of the 15th century the church was enlarged and given a Gothic appearance. The new, partly wooden tower that was completed in 1595 was one of the highest in the world at 140 meters. Because the tower had fallen into disrepair over the centuries (wooden structures were rotten), the Riga city council decided in 1775 to replace it with a smaller, "only" 90 meters high, Baroque copy. Despite all the destruction caused by fires and the Reformation, the interior has plenty of interesting things to offer: medieval tombstones, the pulpit from 1641, and the 6718-pipe organ. Riga Cathedral: you can't miss it, you shouldn't miss it.

Went for the organ concert at 12:00. It's a bit tricky to chose where to sit. I recommend coming around 15-20 minutes early to be zhere before tourist groups. Sit on the front benches facing the side of the cathedral. that way you can see the screen projectors on the collums at the front (they have a camera showing the organ player) and thr organ pipes in the back.

Impressive Lutheran cathedral in the centre of the old town. Lovely cloisters to walk around.

Haven't been inside but from the outside it's beautiful. Definitely recommend visiting here if you're in Riga.

Plac Ratuszowy, also known as Town Hall Square, is a historic cobbled market square in Riga, Latvia, dating back to the 13th century. Although it was destroyed during World War II, the square has been meticulously reconstructed, showcasing beautiful Hanseatic architecture and monuments.  The square is home to notable landmarks such as the House of the Blackheads, a stunning building that dates back to the 14th century, and the Museum of the Occupation of Latvia, which offers insights into Latvia’s 20th-century history under Soviet and Nazi occupations.

The heart of Riga and a must-see stop. Home of the amazing House of the Black Heads and also outdoor cafes to enjoy the view and people watching. Seek out a small sculpture that commemorates the world's first decorated Christmas tree in 1510. Men from the House of the Black Heads decorated one with roses, danced around it, then set it on fire!

Just great we really loved Rigas and would have to be the cleanest city we have visited. Just wandering around the old town and parks is really worth the journey there and don't forget the market it was fantastic.

Parking in the center costs 5€ per hour, the next hour costs 8€. Throughout the city, 1 hour of parking is 1€. The food is delicious, prices are like in most European cities ( pasta 10,90€, Hamburger 12€). We are lunching on the main square. Big city, beautiful and interesting.

So many beautiful buildings around to see! Lovely Church! Love to walk around and explore! Such a beautiful city!

Nice place for a photo opportunity, house of the black heads is a one of the iconic architecture in Riga

Beautiful square with nice dutch renaissance style buildings.

Beautiful church right in the heart of Riga’s Old Town. St. Peter’s Church is an impressively restored building, with restoration work still ongoing. A highlight is the elevator ride up the tower – the elevator may feel a little shaky, but it takes you safely to the top. From there you get a fantastic view over Riga and the Old Town. Definitely a worthwhile stop on a city walk.

Really beautiful church, well worth stopping by even if not religious. The building is stunning & the architecture is immense. You can pay extra to go up in the tower, which is an incredible experience. You get panoramic views of the whole city, including the river. It's a bit scary at first as the lift opens directly out onto the tower, but definitely power through!

St. Peter’s Church in Tallinn is one of those places where history, architecture, and atmosphere all come together beautifully ⛪✨. The church itself has a calm, almost timeless feel to it—like it’s been quietly watching the city change for centuries. The high ceilings and intricate details make you feel both small and amazed, the kind of place where you whisper automatically even if no one tells you to. What I loved most was how it blends solemnity with charm. It’s not just about bricks and stained glass; it’s about stories, traditions, and that sense of being part of something much larger than yourself. And of course, like every good historic church in Europe, it also gives you that gentle reminder that your photography skills will never do it justice. 📸😂 Whether you’re into history, architecture, or just need a quiet escape from the bustle of Tallinn, St. Peter’s Church is worth stepping inside. It’s a place that makes you pause, reflect, and maybe even wish your own ceiling at home was a little more “cathedral-like.”

St. Peter’s Church in the heart of Riga’s Old Town offers an unforgettable experience, the soaring 13th-century tower provides panoramic views over the red-rooftops, the Daugava River and the modern city skyline. Inside, the blend of Gothic and Baroque architecture is impressive, and the history that echoes in the walls makes it more than just a photo-stop. A must-see when in Riga.

An absolute must-visit in Riga! ⛪✨ The towering architecture of St. Peter’s Church is breathtaking up close — truly one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. The interiors are peaceful and filled with history, and for a small fee you can take the elevator up to the observation deck 🌆⬆️ which surprised me with stunning panoramic views of the whole city — rooftops, river, bridges, everything! 😍 The atmosphere around the church is vibrant, full of cafés and street life, making it the perfect stop during a walk through Old Town 🚶‍♂️💛. Definitely worth the visit if you want to experience Riga from its most beautiful angle! 📸✨

9EUR to visit the church and do up to the tower via 3 flights of stairs and an elevator. As soon as you step out of the elevator you are on the viewing platform which can be very windy but views are beautiful especially with nice weather. Church itself is nice and peaceful.

St. Peter’s Church is one of Riga’s must-see landmarks, especially because of its stunning viewing tower. After taking the lift up, you’re rewarded with a panoramic view over the entire city.

Nice to see. Impressive reconstructed fassade. Nice exhibition inside but not necessary to pay entrance and to see the view rooms. For longer stay or if you are really interested. Otherwise just enjoy it from outside

The House of the Black Heads is one of the most iconic landmarks in Riga’s Old Town. Originally built in the 14th century as a guild for unmarried merchants, shipowners, and foreigners, it has always been a center of culture and celebration. The building you see today is a faithful reconstruction, as the original was destroyed during World War II. With its striking Gothic façade decorated with Renaissance details, it is a masterpiece that reflects Riga’s rich history and vibrant spirit. Inside, you’ll find beautifully restored halls, exhibitions about the city’s past, and a glimpse into the life of the Brotherhood of Black Heads. I warmly recommend adding the House of the Black Heads to your itinerary when exploring Riga. It’s not only a chance to admire one of the city’s most stunning architectural gems but also to step into a place where history, art, and culture truly come alive.

Wonderful museum and reconstructed building. The original building was completed destroyed in the Second World War, and the present building was opened in 1999 but it's a beautiful replica as close to the original as possible and an iconic building of Latvia. The outside is spectacular and the indoor tour starts with a tour of the original foundations in the basement and historical information. The upper floors are grand hallways and stately rooms which are impressive. One of our favourite buildings in Riga.

Very nice museum. I liked the way the underground exhibition was organized, with stories abot what was happening in Riga, Latvia, Europe and the world at a particular time in history. The audio guide provides good information. The other floors are also interesting and beautiful. The silver colection is amazing. Well worth the visit.

🏰✨ An absolute gem in the heart of Old Riga! The House of the Blackheads is one of the most stunning buildings I’ve ever seen — beautifully restored, full of history, and glowing with character. The exterior alone is jaw-dropping 😍 with its intricate details, bright colors, and medieval charm. And once you step inside, it gets even better — gorgeous halls, historic artifacts, and a museum that brings Riga’s merchant past to life 📜⚔️🕯️. The ambiance is magical both day and night — it’s also one of the most photogenic spots in the entire city 📸✨. If you’re in Riga, this place is an absolute must-visit. 💯 Highly recommended for history lovers, architecture fans, and anyone who wants to experience the soul of Riga ❤️🇱🇻

an amazing museum. when i went there werent many people so it was great. i definitely recommend it

A stunning gem in Old Riga with a captivating façade that reflects centuries of history. Originally built in 1334 for merchant gatherings and later home to the Brotherhood of Blackheads, this landmark features ornate Renaissance-Mannerist ornamentation added in the 1600s and late‑19th‑century sculptures by August Volz. It was destroyed in WWII and lovingly reconstructed from 1996–1999 with public and city funding. Today it houses a museum and elegant ballrooms, offers multi‑language audio guides, and displays a medieval cellar dating back to the 14th century. Perfect for history lovers and architecture fans!

Good exhibition if you want to learn about the history of latvia during the 2nd world war and the period after until the 1990s. Would recommend the audio guide and if you are interested in reading more about the exhibits to plan in around two hours.

Be sure to allow time in your visit to Riga to tour this museum. Ideally visit when you can take the guided tour with a staff member. we did and it added so much more context to the visit. I would allow two hours if possible. Great bathrooms and lockers to make your visit even easier. no café but nearby there are many places to grab a cup of coffee afterwards and process what you’ve learned.

Dramatic museum about Latvia's traumatic recent history under the Soviet and Nazi occupations during the second world war and up to 1991. Lots to read and there are some dramatic films and exhibits. Makes you want to celebrate Latvia's independence with them by the end and wave a Latvian flag! There are lockers for bags but no cafe (there are restaurants nearby).

A super interesting collection detailing the Soviet Occupation of Latvia and the struggle of the people to reestablish their sovereign state. We did an English tour that was pretty rushed. We went back through the entire museum. It is laid out in chronological order and there is a "path" to follow. There's a cute teddy bear character that might keep kids interested with a few interactive displays. There are adult interactives also. The museum tells the tale of brave resistance fighters and you leave with a sense of the great national pride that Latvians have today, as they should !

An incredibly powerful museum with a very important story to tell. A good mix of modern interactive displays and more traditional museology exhibits that will help you understand the struggle of Latvia against several neighbours and the horrible impact of recent history, yet, their ability to persevere. A very enlightening experience for anyone.

I started learning about the history of Latvia on a free walking tour so decided to go into this museum. This was the best museum I’ve ever been to in my life, it has so much history and knowledge and I loved learning so much new things, it’s made me fall in love with Riga and Latvia even more, I recommend this amazing museum to anyone and everyone

I very much enjoyed the tour of the museum of occupation. I took a guided tour that was excellent as it manage to convey feeling and perspectives related to this difficult time of history. I also visited the KGB museum but f2la the occupation museum provided me with more fact and information. I highly, highly recommend taking a guided tour as it really help with the understanding.

If you like great food at a reasonable price, the central market is waiting for you. SO MUCH FOOD! Everything was fresh and was as alluring to the nose as it was to the palate. So much variety, you will hardly know where to start. It's even fun if you're not hungry... just walk around and take it all in. Definitely recommend!

The best open market I’ve ever visited. Traditional meeting the modern in a wonderful mix. Vegetables, fruits, nuts fish, poultry, beef, clothes and lot of other things. I will be back.

I visited Riga Central Market, and it was such a vibrant experience. The market is huge and full of life you can find just about everything here, from fresh flowers and local foods to meats, cheeses, spices, and handmade goods. It’s a great place to discover authentic Latvian flavors and everyday life. The market is set inside historic old Zeppelin hangars, which gives it a unique and impressive atmosphere. Each pavilion specializes in different products, making it easy to explore and sample a wide variety of items. I especially enjoyed seeing the fresh produce stands and traditional Latvian treats. It’s not just a place to shop—it’s also a cultural experience, perfect for walking around, tasting, and soaking in the local vibe. Prices are fair, and you’ll find both locals and tourists enjoying the market. If you’re visiting Riga, this is definitely a must-see. 📍 Location: Nēģu iela 7, Riga, Latvia

Nice and quick lunch spot in the gastronomy market they have different restaurants where you can have local food and buy local cheeses and souvenirs. A nice quick stop in the city. Haven’t take any picture of the dumplings but they were very good.

Great place to sample the local food. There are plenty of fruit and veg stalls, flower stalls and clothing stalls as well as a food market inside. They sell all the traditional dishes for extremely reasonable prices so a great way to eat like the locals. It’s a vibrant, buzzing area that’s definitely worth a visit.

Really big market with so much variety. There are different halls dedicated to different types of goods (the meat hall, the fish hall, etc). There's a hall that has eateries, and there are other retain shops throughout. Outside there are fresh fruits and vegetables as well as flowers. Definitely a must visit location for anyone visiting Riga.

A very unique market where each of the four large hangars offers something different, with wonderful caviar, meat, and fish products for sale, and outside, a marketplace and florists. I really liked it.

Little museum consentrated on different aspects of history- history of St.Trinity church, History of Jelgava and more. Museum exhibits are interactive and they have thought about children aswell accessability. Tower has elevator to move up and down. You still have to open the door to get into exhibition room and use glass staircase to get to city viewing area just under the glass roof. This may be an issue for some people. On top floor you can enjoy Jelgava city views through glass roof. Interesting place to visit. Not too time consuming unless you go through absolutely everything. Then it can take hours. Lady in the ticket office while I visited was really friendly and helpful.

The crown jewel of the city. The tower has the best city views, the story of this important Latvian city, an excellent example of a romantic cafe (the best cafe ever for my very well travelled friend) with outstanding food and service, fun interactive galleries (try wedding clothes or period jewellery!), and paintings by Latvian artists.

Not much to see there! The digital expositions are just ok. The view of the city at the top is not any great as the metal structure and the glasses disturb the view. Pictures are not worth up there, as you can see in one of my pics. Just the outside view of the tower is interesting.

The Jelgava St. Trinity Church Tower is a charming historical site with a lot of character. Climbing to the top rewards you with fantastic panoramic views of Jelgava and the surrounding area. The tower is well-maintained, and the staff are friendly and helpful, sharing interesting details about the church’s history. It can be a bit crowded during peak hours, but the experience is worth it for both the views and the insight into local history. A lovely spot for visitors exploring Jelgava!

I didn't expect this place to be so interesting! There are only 4 floors of thd tower open but each floor has a room with something interesting to find out. There is a floor dedicated to the city history, the church and Jelgava fashion. The 9th floor is a cosy place made of glass where you can seat and enjoy the view of the city. The 8th floor is the restaurant. The entrance fee for adults is 2.50€. There is WC and the elevator. Do spend some time in each room: it's worth it, especially the fashion room. They show a short video about fashion changing through the years. Recommended for visiting 💯%

Beautifully renovated tower. On the top you can oversee the whole city through the glass roof. On some levels exhibitions. While on the level with clocks you will find great restaurant. During lunch hours you can try simple, but very interesting lunch offers. In the evenings you can have nice dinner. Tasty choices for vegetarians. Interior fabulous.

Nice view on the observation deck of the tower on the 9th floor. Only $1 euro per person to take elevator up. We took the stairs down to visit the gallery and had lunch on the 8th floor. Beautiful decor and relaxing atmosphere. The frog legs, snails & mussels were all yummy.

Absolutely stunning church. The blue domes are beautiful from the outside, but the real magic is inside... 😍 full of rich colours, gold details, and peaceful energy.

Stunning orthodox church with a sad story. The church traces its history to 1710, when Peter the Great, Tsar of Russia, arranged the marriage of his niece Anna to Frederick William, Duke of Courland. The duke promised to build an Orthodox church in Jelgava (then known as Mitau), his capital, but his premature death prevented this. Anna wanted to get married in this church that was yet to be built.

Extremely beautiful temple - inside and outside! It's also nice that they let you take pictures inside, which I could not in others!!...

Next to the palace in Jelgava, one of the most beautiful places in this city

Beautiful church!

Another beautiful church with a great history.

Beautiful orthodox church on the way from the railway station to the city centre

Perhaps the jewel of Latvia. The palace is in really good condition, thanks to everyone's hard work. The gardens are certainly kept in immaculate condition. Most of the rooms are open to visitors, including the bedrooms and bathrooms of the Duke and Duchess — definitely worth a visit. It's usually not very crowded on weekdays. You can use an audio guide.

Beautiful, rich collection, friendly staff, almost no tourists in November yet highly operational. Interesting to see powder rooms and toilet closets. Impressive collection of “ household” peaces. Wonderful cafe switch beautiful service. Food served in aristocratic dish-ware. The clock outside is restarted with beautiful music playing at each hour with the sound stretching through whole yard yard. Very happy with our visit.

The Baltic Versailles! Amidst the vast fields and meadows of Zemgale (Semgallen) stands the most beautiful baroque palace in the Baltic States: the Rundāles Pils (Rundāle Palace). The palace was commissioned by Ernst Johann Biron, the lover of Tsarina Anna Ivanova who bestowed him the Duchy of Courland and Semigallia. The famous Italian architect Bartolomeo Rastrelli designed and built a palace inspired by Versailles. Since the Duke was exiled to Siberia by his political enemies in 1740, the construction of the palace took place in two phases. During the first phase (1736-40) the palace itself was built, and during the second phase (1765-68) the furnishing of 138 rooms and halls was completed. During the Latvian War of Independence in 1919, the palace was badly damaged. In 1933, the palace was restored/rebuilt when a school was established. After the Rundāle Palace Museum was founded in 1972, a thorough and long-term restoration was immediately started, which was only completed in 2015. Thanks to this restoration, the palace once again radiates its 18th century grandeur, which visitors can admire in 40 rooms and halls. In addition to the magnificent interior, the French gardens are certainly worth a visit. So all in all, Rundāle Palace is a destination that should not be missed on your itinerary!

Amazing place! Worth the drive from Riga. We enjoyed it very much! Unfortunately rainy weather stopped us from going to their beautiful gardens. A lot of visitors even on weekday.

Really glad we decided to drive and visit Rundāle Palace. If you had a car - don't skip this easy day trip from Riga. The gardens are beautiful - and it's aways interesting to see intricate buildings preserved. Impressive! We spent about 2.5 hours here in total. We visited on a Wednesday and bought tickets when we got there.

The Rundale Palace in Latvia was built in the 18th century. Though originally built as a palace it was used for various purposes including a school. In 1972 the palace and the surrounding gardens was established as a museum. It has 40 rooms exhibiting furniture, decorative pieces, paintings including painted ceilings. Very impressive from outside and inside, one of the most well preserved palaces in the world. The French garden adds to the charm of the palace. Ticket can be purchased together for the palace and the garden. We visited it on a "Tour and Transfer" from Riga To Vilnius. Highly recommend it.

The Palace of amazing beauty 🤩🥰 with a large French park nearby. The beginning of the palace dates back to the 16th century, although Rundale Manor is mentioned from the 15th century. To walk the main paths in the garden, inside the palace - will be about 6.2 km, and if you explore all the passages of the garden it will be more of km. 🙃 and you should dedicate at least 3.5 hours (you can run around faster, but it is better to walk slower 🙃). The price for an adult to visit all the places is 23 €, but you can also visit the garden and palace for 17 €, but then you will not enter one of the palace "wing" with another exposition. If you have already arrived at the place and have an opportunity - it is definitely worth visiting all possible places.

In 1972 the palace and the surrounding gardens was established as a museum. It has 40 rooms exhibiting furniture, decorative pieces, paintings including painted ceilings. Very impressive from outside and inside, one of the most well preserved palaces in the world. The French garden adds to the charm of the palace. Ticket can be purchased together for the palace and the garden. We visited it on a "Tour and Transfer" from Riga To Vilnius. Highly recommend it.

The Palace of amazing beauty 🤩🥰 with a large French park nearby. The beginning of the palace dates back to the 16th century, although Rundale Manor is mentioned from the 15th century. To walk the main paths in the garden, inside the palace - will be about 6.2 km, and if you explore all the passages of the garden it will be more of km. 🙃 and you should dedicate at least 3.5 hours (you can run around faster, but it is better to walk slower 🙃). The price for an adult to visit all the places is 23 €, but you can also visit the garden and palace for 17 €, but then you will not enter one of the palace "wing" with another exposition. If you have already arrived at the place and have an opportunity - it is definitely worth visiting all possible places.

This really old castle is located by the former main road and river. It's a very well restored location. There is still work to do but they are very far. It's more that worth to visit it. To the top of the tower is 85 steps one way. We enjoyed it very much.

Far from where tourists go but the place has a big history that's well explained. Most signs are strictly in Latvian though, some are translated into English. Be prepared to go up and down some steep stairs.

An interesting and heavily restored castle. History of the owners of the castle and their furniture, dress and military. Nice climb up the tower which gives great views of the town €4.50 for seniors

Passed Bauska for so many years 😬 and only now visited the castle - it was definitely worth it 🤩. A relatively small but beautiful castle, which was built in the middle of the 15th century by the Livonian Order in this place to strengthen its influence in Zemgale. Currently, the castle has been partially restored, other surviving parts have been preserved, and a museum is open. To get around the nearby territory and inside - it was about 3.7 km.

Must to visit place, a beautiful castle located in memorising landscape. Perfect place for Instagram photos, don't miss the largde bauska photo frame in the river side. Highly recommended place to spend time.

Another beautifully restored castle with well though out presentations offering glimpse into the life of germanborn in Baltics during the fellowship centuries.

We chose not to go inside and wanted to see the castle from the outside; we were on a tour and had 45 min at this stop. It is peaceful and quite beautiful. May 2025

It was a gastronomic revelation and that is why we visited the restaurant two days in a row! Its' interior reminds a manor-like appartments, the food is superb and variety of beers could be served in jars - which provides an opportunity to have a small tasting ceremony.

Terrible experience! We arrived about 50 minutes before closing. We just asked to have some beers in the bar. Not even food. Ladies were extremely rude and made us clear they want us to leave from the place. They pretended that they don’t speak English and did not even answered our questions. Bad memory from a beautiful city. We just wanted to taste the local beer also.

Nice food for a good price. Tried the beer plate. Most of the beer was nice. The salad and pork were good. Salad 6.80 EUR. Pork with grilled vegetables and potatoes 10,50 EUR. Large beer (500 ml) - 2,50 EUR.

Seed crepes with salted salmon and lime cream definitely worth to try 🍻

Very nice food and beer. Wide selection if their home made beers and you can do a brewery tour also

Amazing beer tasting experience combined with really great food! Totally worth visiting when in Birzai area. Plus there is a shop on premises with total selection of Rinkuskiai beer, including those mixed beer tasting kits.

Take a tour! Perfect place to relax.

Visited recently on a day trip from Panevezys. There’s lots of free parking nearby, and a really interesting museum inside. Some interactive areas too, such as a weighted vest showing how much the chainmail vests weigh and a projected animation of how the swedes attacked the castle. Well worth a visit!

Historic Biržų pilies rūmai offers charming insight into Lithuanian nobility with restored interiors and informative exhibits. The castle grounds are pleasant for a stroll, though some rooms feel underwhelming. And yes, worth a visit.

Beautiful castle with a large museum exhibition. Entrance is €5 per person and you get to visit the museum which has three floors and the arsenal building located right next to the castle. The exhibition was interesting. The organisation of the exhibits could have been better. Also, there’s not so much history that would be specific to the Biržai region. The video in the arsenal building is poorly made. After spending 15 min watching the film we were left with so many questions. Overall it was a great 2 hours spent wandering around the museum and its beautiful garden.

A cute castle in the small town of Biržai. Interesting culture venue. In addition to the nice local library, we found the Jonas Mekas’ archives, two painting exhibition, and a small museum.

Entrance ticket cost to Castle inside where is located museum- 5eur. Around castle is nice and well maintained garden with nice view to lake. The museum is old fashioned with exposition which consist almost only on all kind of old stuff and junk. Nothing entertaning. Castle interior is plain, if you enjoy architecture or interior, inside there is not nothing impressive and worth seeing. The best view and experience is exterior and garden with amazing location.

Very nice place. You could walk around the castle and get amazing view over Birzai. The entrance still has old entrance and looking good. There was some construction work around area. We were in the evening, so the castle was closed but we will definitely go inside next time.

Beautiful castle in the middle of a nice park and lake. Well worth to take a walk and look around. Playgrounds in the vicinity.

We were disappointed with our recent visit to Pakruojis Manor. Compared to our visit three years ago, when everything felt magical and beautifully maintained, this time it was underwhelming. The little island that used to have romantic swings, dreamcatchers, and freely hopping rabbits is now empty and lifeless. All those charming touches were gone. Despite the €20 ticket price per person, the experience didn’t live up to our expectations. Sadly, it seems the place has lost much of its former charm.

You arrive on Saturday for an overnight stay with massages, and then you're told there's a BBQ evening and all the spots are taken — and that there's no other restaurant in the whole manor where you could get food. They just suggest you go eat somewhere else :) Yes, we did receive an email a few days before the visit saying we could reserve a spot for the BBQ evening, but it wasn't mentioned that without that, there would be nowhere else to eat. The price, of course, is sky-high, and honestly, it shouldn't be like this — you pay for a stay at a manor, you arrive, and end up going hungry. There wasn’t even a place to get a drink. The cherry on top — the Miller’s House isn’t actually part of the Pakruojis Manor territory, so if you want to visit it, you have to pay extra :) We paid, only to find out the event was already over and the area was about to close. But they told us it was fine, and we could come back Sunday and the tickets would still be valid. What they didn’t say is that the gates wouldn’t open in the morning, and half of the attractions inside would be closed. The sculpture area was also quite tasteless. The rooms were super small and nowhere near as impressive as in the photos. I don’t know — the idea is fine, but they try to squeeze money out of you at every turn. It shouldn’t be this way. We paid, went to the massages, and then spent the whole evening sitting in a tiny room eating pizza because there was nowhere else to go.

Ended up paying for the double amount of tickets to the park than what I put in the cart, because after initiating a payment via one provider I decided to use another payment service. When I returned to the cart the amount of selected tickets doubled, which I haven’t noticed due to screen layout on the phone. Contacted the Pakruojo dvaras - the reply was “sorry, we have no means of refunding the tickets”. Good thing it wasn’t a big family trip, so I only overpaid 30 EUR instead of 100+. Definitely will not be visiting this place again.

Good service, food was ok, bad that main building was closed an in the rooms were like 15 degrees cold, for 145 per night was not expecting that, radiators were cold. Parking on hard top was full, needed to park in grass area, bad that taking more people than they have facilities.

We visited Pakruojo Dvaras with a family group of nearly 20 people, and the experience was extremely disappointing from beginning to end. Booking activities and the restaurant in advance was unnecessarily complicated. When we arrived, the issues continued. Some of our guests were late to lunch, and even though the restaurant was nearly empty, the staff were rude and complained, which made us feel unwelcome. Due to bad weather, we chose to skip the Flower Festival performances and instead go straight to the prepaid degustation event. To our shock, the staff refused to let us in unless we purchased Flower Festival tickets, even though the last performance of the day was happening at the same time as the degustation. We had already paid close to €200 and expected to pay €150 more, but they demanded over €450 extra. They wouldn’t let us attend the event we already paid for—and kept the money. We ended up leaving early. I had guests who came all the way from France, and this was not the experience I wanted for them. The staff seemed uninterested and unhelpful, despite the venue being mostly empty. Sadly, it felt like they were more focused on squeezing money out of us than actually providing a good experience. We felt scammed, disappointed, and completely let down. I cannot recommend this place to anyone.

A little kitschy but a great place for any age visitor, loads of flowers and sculptures, animals, interesting old items, and activitities. In the bar you can taste delicious cumin kvass and localy made craft beer. The restaurant has interesting meniu of old time local foods.

Amber museum, loved it 😍 and somehow... it felt as if I was brought back century ago, viewing a piece of time itself permanently frozen. 👏👏

Typical soulless shopping mall, but located nicely close to main road, if you are driving through Lithuania and need to buy somethings.

nice mall

Good mall, lots of good stores

Seems nice and contemporary, although was there with specific need and very shortly.

Only couple of clothes stores such as H&M and Vero Moda, many shoe stores, cosmetic stores, liquir stores, supermarket, and other stores.

A shopping mall with some shops that still have good prices on shoes and t-shirts. I bought 2 pair of shoes in good quality for 50 euro. And of course they have alcohol and food also.

Can find most of the stuff a shopping mall can offer. but the atmosphere was so so, most of the shops were expensive for the everyday person, and there wasn't any good shops for my interest.

Ok place, different local cakes available. Espresso was very weak, weaker than normal coffee elsewhere. The atmosphere was quite nice, pop music from 80s was maybe too loud for the background. Seller-girl struggled with English. If you need quick bait, it will do. Prices were affordable.

Very cosy home made bakery. Their fruit smoothies are extremely tasty. Lovely pastry and good coffee. What else to wish for.

Nice coffee and delicious bakery😋🌟

Nice place at a very good location, always fresh, good for a quick desert with coffee.

Nice little local bakery for savoury and sweet pastry

Loved it. The savory pastries were great, especially Brazilian cheese bread balls and cheese sticks. Had a nice quick lunch and came back twice the same day. Fruit smoothies were also good. Service was pleasant and we felt like the staff walked that extra mile. Thank you!

Fabulous place, superb bakery (sweet and salty), friendly staff, interior bit outdated though authentic, go and visit!

Do not recommend, very unpleasant yoga teacher..

Prefect yoga teacher what I found in Jonava. I tried to find a place for Hatha Yoga during my Lithuanian visit two month ago.

Best Yoga Studio in Lithuania.

Not recommended

(Translated by Google) very good yoga and aikido teacher. thank you for opening the yoga center in Jonava. (Original) labai geras Joga ir aikido mokytojas. ačiū už atidarymo jogos centras Jonavoje.

(Translated by Google) It is worth a visit for those who care about health. (Original) Tiems kam rūpi sveikata verta aplankyti.

We took a bus from Kaunas Centre here it was €1 and took about 30 minutes. As you arive there is a coffee machine at the carpark (there is no cafe or shop to get food here) it is a short pavedcwalk up to the main museum €8 Euros to go in to the Museum was well work it. There is so much to see inside. Well thought out displays and installations. Was history and so.e very thought provoking displays. Everything is displayed in Lithuanian and English. You can walk around the outside area for free. 100% recommended this for a visit 2-3 hrs would do it justice to see Everything!

Beautiful place marked by history. The fort has a very interesting museum and the exterior, including the monument, is a sacred place. I recommend going in the spring season to see all the vegetation in bloom, seemingly in contrast with the history written here.

If you want to understand something of the history of the region in the 20th century, this fortress gives a good overview. I had no idea that the Lithuanians continued to resist the Soviet occupation well into the 1950s. If you go by bus, remember to press the stop button before you reach the stop. I didn't and ended up a mile or two in the wrong direction.

Beautiful place with a sad history. Good for a visit if you love history and its a nice walk. There is stuff in England for does who dont speak lithuanian. Staff a very friendly and helpful. Would visit again.

This is a fascinating and haunting place. Its history is so deep and complex. Everyone should visit and understand the difficult time in Lithuania’s history.

One of the most unique, special and educational experiences ever. Definitely consider visiting if you ever visit Lithuania, especially if you like history and new adventures!

Interesting history but very morbid and really hits home the true costs of war. Beautiful country ❤️

Kaunas Castle is a wonderful place for a walk. In the evening it’s beautifully lit, which makes the atmosphere really charming. The whole area felt very safe, and I also noticed there are surveillance cameras nearby, which adds to the feeling of security. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Kaunas!

A historic castle very nicely preserved, clean and surrounded by green areas and walking trails around it. Minutes away from the old town of Kaunas. Worth visiting!

Kaunas Castle is a beautiful and historic spot right in the heart of the city. The red-brick fortress looks amazing, and the museum inside gives a nice glimpse into Kaunas’ past. The area around it is great for a walk, with lovely river views and a calm atmosphere. Staff are friendly, and there are often cool events or festivals happening nearby. Definitely worth a visit!

A very nice castle, but quite small once you get inside and with status you need to be careful as they are quite steep and you will need to wait for people or to go upstairs or downstairs as you can do both at the same time as it’s quite narrow. Worth a visit tho. The prices for tickets is ok too £4 for adult, but for students, kids, retired and disabled people gets it’s cheaper or does not pay at all which is nice.

Nice little exposition,well restored old castle,loved the dungeon prison part,great view from top level of the tower.Small but interesting museum,stairs at the tower are steep and narrow but there is another wider exilt on level two.Would recommend to spend couple hours exploring castle and surrounding old wall grounds.

Nice park to walk around. You can walk up to have a view. Castle itself has few remains, so not that much to visit. Has a museum indoor in the tower (paid entrance)

Nice castle immersed in a well tended park. We were there on Monday hence the castle was closed therefore we could only admire the outside of it

If you're into folklore, this is a wonderful place. Lithuanian devils are more like trolls or goblins than the typical judeo-Christian enemy. There's so much fun in here, with lots of stories and historical context provided. You'll learn about witches and cows and blacksmiths too.

A visit to Kaunas isn't complete without an hour spent at the Velnio Muziejus 😈. As the only museum of its kind globally, its very existence speaks to its authenticity and unique cultural significance. ​The collection, which began with Lithuanian artist Antanas Žmuidzinavičius and has grown to over 3,000 pieces through international donations, is truly global. On its three floors, you'll see how different cultures interpret the devil—from mischievous Lithuanian folk carvings to intricate masks and sculptures from countries like India, Mexico, and Japan. This diversity provides a fascinating, multifaceted look at the mythological creature worldwide. ​Beyond the static exhibits, the museum incorporates unique art expositions, featuring both contemporary fine and applied arts. These often include creative video shows and modern interpretations that bring a fresh, artistic perspective to the ancient themes. The museum is small enough that you can easily navigate the entire collection in an hour or so, making it a perfect, wonderfully bizarre, and insightful stop if you're in the area. It’s a great piece of Lithuanian eccentricity!

Great place to see. The devil's museum depicts a lot of Lithuanian follow about devils and depicts the life of Antanas Zmuidzinavicius. His garden and there bottom floor had private collection at pieces. It would be nice if the type would tell you too go from the second floor devils to the third floor devils, then to the second floor apartment. Another great addition would be that the listening app would have different playback speeds.

Really interesting one. If you have extra time it’s worth to see. There’s nothing much traditional or historical in that exhibition. However if you have time and got bored in Kaunas :) you can spend your time here.

An excellent museum, really unusual. The exhibits were well laid out and each exhibition case was well documented in Lithuanian and English Some great information and interesting mythology from around the world. Took us a couple of hours to see everything but we do read every word! Would recommend a visit. Note: We read a review that said start from the top floor and work down. iMHO - disregard this and work your way up!! Good value for money, nice staff, clean toilets. Definitely qoryh a visit when in Kaunas.

Not what I was expecting at all. A spell binding experience of beautiful sculptures, fascinating stories and traditions. A must visit if in Kaunas.

Located in a prestigious and historic city corner, houses numbered 52–72 showcase the modernist architectural style of the 1930s, known as the Architecture of Optimism (1919–1939), and are honored as UNESCO heritage. These buildings once housed the embassies of the USA and Sweden, the Hungarian consulate, and the Vatican nunciature. Devil's Museum (house 64): This remarkable site has been renowned for a long time and continues to attract visitors.

What a wonderful mass the coir was outstanding the preaching was next level. I enjoyed the mass during my weekend trip to Lithuania. If I have to say about the architecture it was so perfectly carved and well maintained. Sunday morning mass the church was almost all mix of young and elderly what a great community. There were sovereign gifts too.

Kaunas Cathedral is a stunning mix of Gothic, Baroque, and Renaissance styles, making it one of Lithuania’s most impressive churches. It’s perfect for a peaceful visit—just be mindful of church services. The main altar and side chapels are beautiful, and it’s worth exploring the nearby Old Town afterward. Remember to dress modestly, and photography might be restricted. Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, and take your time soaking in the history!

Beautiful church, the sculptures are very impressive, the entrance is free, totally recommend it! The cathedral basilica of St. Peter n St. Paul left me which open mouth..

The few times I visited Kaunas I always made sure to see it. It's one of the most beautiful cathedral I saw in my life! The colors and atmosphere are so nice inside and we can really feel peaceful once inside

This church has retained its solemn Gothic appearance from the outside. Decorative elements from later periods are quite well integrated inside. The paintings were painted by the Italian Andriolli. He came to the city with Napoleon's army. It seems like a love story and he stayed in Kaunas. I'm not sure if all the pictures are his. You can check it yourself. And during services, listen to the powerful organ.

Very beautiful church that doesn’t ask for any payment to enter. We happily donated 2euros. Please don’t light candles on the seats. The old staff has hard time removing hardened candle :(

We are blessed to be able to attend the Sunday mass in the cathedral. It is a beautiful church with so much history in it. Admiring the paintings of the blessed Mother of God, St. Joseph with child Jesus and other saints for Catholics like my husband and I was a privileged.

Kaunas Town Hall is a must-visit if you’re exploring Lithuania’s second-largest city! Known as the “White Swan” for its elegant architecture, this historic building sits in the heart of Kaunas Old Town. It has served many purposes over the centuries—city hall, prison, and even a wedding venue! Today, it houses the Kaunas City Museum, where you can learn about the city’s rich history. Take a stroll around the charming square, grab a coffee at a nearby café, and soak in the atmosphere of this beautiful and lively spot!

Close on Monday and overseeing a torn-up square (large renovation works ongoing August 2025). Not worth the effort

Most visited places in Kaunas , old town bars , cafes and restaurants, you can also find here museums art shops and other interesting sites

The Kaunas Town Hall is a beautiful and impressive building – a real highlight in the heart of the Old Town. The architecture is elegant, and the surrounding square is full of charm and history. It’s a great spot for photos and a nice place to sit and take in the atmosphere. Unfortunately, during our visit, the building was under renovation, so we couldn’t fully enjoy or explore it. It’s understandable that maintenance is necessary, but it was a bit disappointing not to see it in its full glory. Still, it’s a lovely landmark and definitely worth stopping by if you’re in Kaunas – hopefully next time without scaffolding!

10 euros, theres an app and i just cant make it work, not a whole lot, you can climb up the tower and take picture through windows ... Ac was nice.

I love Lithuania and Kaunas!

I didn't visit the museum, but the town hall itself is a very beautiful building. The centerpiece of Kaunas Old Town

Laisvės alėja is a must-visit in Kaunas! It’s a lively pedestrian street full of cafes, shops, and beautiful greenery. Perfect for a leisurely stroll, it’s the heart of the city, where you can soak in the local vibe, grab a coffee, and enjoy the lively atmosphere. It’s a great spot to relax or people-watch!

Lovely area with a cozy environment. Beatiful trees during the day and very well illuminated during the night. There are a lot of restaurants/cafés along the avenue and also some shopping stores. And, a big and beatiful church. I totally recommend going for a long walk during the day and during the night!

A place with something special: history, memories, vibrant, attracting.

In 1847, the Russians began building the New Town (Naujamiestis), with the Laisvės Alėja (Freedom Boulevard) as its central axis. As early as 1953, the intention was to transform the boulevard into a pedestrian area, but these plans were not implemented until 1982, making the Laisvės Alėja the longest pedestrian street in Eastern Europe. The 1.7-kilometre-long boulevard is a pleasant shopping street, where you can also stroll on a warm day thanks to the double row of trees.

A great street, a wonderful boulevard full of restaurants, cafes, bars, shops and local businesses. It has its own style, exceptional atmosphere, clear layout and good connections to other streets. This street is truly an example of urban planning with its landmarks and sectors. In addition, it is directly connected to the historic center of the city.

beautiful alley it's a pity it's cold and the fountain doesn't work anymore

Main street of Kaunas, clean, not crowded with a lot of small shops.There is an installation that helps you refresh on hot days.

We visited this place on 26th January, on the last Sunday of the month so we did not pay the entrance ticket. The area is very big and they also turn on the lights of attractions when the sun sets. You can easily spend the entire day here. My suggestion is to come here when winter ends since all the houses were closed and there were no animals. Also, there was only one cafe open, Arbatine. We had a very nice day in the nature, and we will surely come back on summer, when the place can offer the most. PS: The right address is L. Lekavičiaus gatvė 2 Rumšiškės and not 2 J. Aisčio gatvė, where there is only the administration office.

A great place to visit! Very well organized, with a large area perfect for walking – you can easily spend the whole day here. In the town section some points are open where you can buy things, so it’s good to bring some cash. There’s a post office, a craftsman demonstrating traditional work, a restaurant (cards accepted), and a shop with local products like honey. Highly recommended!

What a wonderful place! Don’t think of it as a museum, but as a beautiful, enormous, gorgeous natural park. It’s wonderful! So much nature, it’s breathtaking. It was free today (Sunday) and we only payed 2 euros for parking (license plate scanning). There are toilets at the entrance. The souvenir shop was closed as it was Sunday, I suppose, and I couldn’t see anywhere to eat, so maybe bring some snacks and water. You can also get to the observation tower. We wished we had more time here, you can spend hours exploring and enjoying nature!

We visit d after the close for the season day, so were not able to enter any of the houses. Still beautiful walk, and we spent almost 2 hours just walking around and enjoying beautiful landscape.

During dar season there are beutiful light instalations. This year it was called "Užburtasis slėnis". Really beautifull atmosphere

We are here last day of our Lietuva trip. This was our best place to visit. Forgot Trakai go here price is the same you see more! You can spend whole day here. Walking see and RELAX. Every house is polished with fine garden. You can rest and get a cafe too. We start at 14 and leave at 19 and see less than half. I suggest get a picnic set and go there from morning.

This is super interesting to check out. Bring a lot of time and pick a dry day. There is a lot of walking required for this, but it is worth it. There are buildings from all over Lithuania, most of them can be walked though fully equipped with furniture and all in very good shape. I liked the town center the most, there were some things to do. The viewing tower might need an update some time soon.
