Most beautiful building in town. You can sit and watch at it few hours :) And there is good pizzeria close to it.

Blackheads is not only the 14th century home of bachelor merchants, but a welcome spot for anyone who doesn't speak Latvian or Russian. This tourist information center can guide you to anywhere or anything in Latvia or the surrounding area. Through their knowledgeable and helpful staff, we found tickets to the National Choir, an expedition to Jurmala, and enough brochures... More

You cannot miss that house when visiting Riga. The blackheads guild must have been a rich one in its days :)

Beautiful building. Really interesting design and worth seeking out for any one interested in architectural design.

This is one of the buildings that was rebuild from ruins. Very fancy ornamentation. if you have a chance, visit the inside, too.

The House of Blackheads is a magnificent architectural statement, not to be missed, BUT also is the Central Tourist Information Office. The staff are both knowledgeable and polite, and can answer enquiries in a multitude of languages. Very well stocked for MAPS and things to do.

This is no longer open for viewing, very disappointing. It is a shame as it seemed like it would have been a great place to see.

Rigas one of the TOP places. Especially at the night with the lights and music show on the house. As I hear there is now President living in. Worth to see. Located in downtown and cant pass by.

Another architectural gem in Riga. At night, it is lit up, and from what I remember - there's a light/sound show at a specific time. Worth seeing (and hearing)!
