Best war museum that I ever seen
We only had time to see it quickly but there were some descriptions written in, am assuming Latvian, which unfortunately could not be read. Would have visited the museum of war right next to it if we had the time.
There were no descriptions in English so that made for a disappointing visit. The exhibition is fairly large but again I wasn’t able to appreciate it. Entry is free.
Extremely organized and good collection. Several floors to climb. It increases your knowledge. It's has free entrance. it's located in a prime spot. Just beside Jacob barracks and bastion hill. It's shows you ancient war technology till today. Very good!!
Free entry!! Not the whole exhibit has English but well worth the time.
This was virtually the first place I spent some time at in Old Riga, forming effectively a notable entrance at one spot to the Old Town.
Built in 1650, it's worth going inside for the excellent history display, a good introduction to Riga's past, which of course was always centred close to the safe river port some 15k from the ocean.

An interesting place to visit. Lot of details of the military and early times as well . View is fantastic and ideal for taking a few pics.
