excellent free huge museum

there is so much to see in here. it's freezing too (so make a donation when you leave for what it was worth) history if wars in the area going back hundreds of years, with a lot about Communist occupation and to a lesser part Nazi occupation. very interesting. on 5 floors I believe. there are toilets here also. open 10am -5pm daily. Getting There - along the north side old city wall, a nice walk itself, it's on the west side, near the park , look for the powder tower, originally art of the defensive system for the city. Attractions - guns, a lot of them! Food & Restaurants - plenty of places nearby to eat and drink. and a park. none in the museum. Shopping - plenty of shops within walking distance, including a convenience shop opposite the entrance for snacks and drinks. #museum #history #riga #military #free
