The work of one of the most outstanding poetesses of Latvia, the wife of the poet Rainis and an active fighter for emancipation gained the heart of not only poetry fans but also thousands of ordinary women who believed in freedom and independence. The motherland thanked the poetess by immortalizing her name on two city boulevards in the Latvian capital at once. Besides, the house where she lived became the museum of Aspazija and one of the most visited tourist attractions in Jurmala.

The attractive fairy-tale facade of the old house, buried in flowers and greenery, hides the mysterious life and death of the great poetess. It is best to visit the museum halls with an audio guide because it tells the story of the house, the interior decoration, and all its inhabitants on behalf of the owner of Aspazija herself. A fascinating tour with an audio guide reveals many secrets of this place, tells tourists the most intimate family stories. Besides, the price is acceptable, just a couple of euros. Admission to the museum without an audio guide is free. So it would be an unforgivable mistake not to include it in your tourist itinerary.

Guests of the unique Aspazija's House-Museum are greeted by luxurious interiors of the 30s of the 20th century: cozy family verandas, a bright guest hall, where many famous cultural and political figures gathered, and authentic artworks, narrow wooden stairs leading to bedrooms and an office. Thanks to modern technologies, visitors can not only see the spacious rooms, household items, and clothes but also hear the voice of the hostess herself, inviting them to a tea party.

Young travelers especially like cats, Aspazija's faithful companions, whose meowing accompanies the entire interactive tour. And although most of the things have disappeared without a trace over the years of oblivion, there is still something to see and admire. Sometimes it even seems that the house continues to live, even without its owner.
