House of the Blackheads tickets and interior visits
The exterior and the interior reward different kinds of attention. Before going inside, step back across Town Hall Square to see how the decorated frontage fits the surrounding buildings. Inside, divide your time between the formal rooms and the cellar displays rather than spending the whole visit upstairs. Because the building also hosts functions, check visitor access before making it the fixed point of your afternoon.

Choose a period when you can give the interior a full hour before closing. Check official opening information and any event-related restrictions first, then fit your walk around Town Hall Square around that visit.
How to get to House of the Blackheads
From the Grēcinieku iela stop used by airport bus 22, allow roughly five minutes on foot to Town Hall Square. Head toward the square and locate the visitor entrance rather than assuming every facade door admits visitors.
Tips for your visit
- Photograph the frontage from across the square before entering, leaving room for pedestrians to pass.
- Check whether the day's visitor route includes both the formal rooms and the cellar.
- Ask about step-free access before buying if stairs would prevent you from completing the interior route.
