I suggest to arrive to Salaspils Memorials by walking. Isn't far from the the train station and the atmosphere there is magic! The entrance for the park is free, for the museum I suggest to check on the website.

Unique memorial. It was easy walk around the site and the building had a museum tucked inside of it explaining the history of the site.
I loved this memorial. It was simply beautiful, with a harrowing, and tragic story. The heart beats through the entire memorial. One of my best stops in Latvia.
We took the train from Rīga to train station Dārziņi. Crossed the railway. Then passed the station building. On it's right side there is sign that shows direction of Salaspils Memorial Ensemble. We had to walk about 2km. The Ensemble is very impressive and well kept...There is also museum that shows the history, photographs and personal items ...
It you're interested in the history of Riga and unfortunately the pain they had to suffer, this is a most visit, pay respect and learn more about their history. There's a small museum, with exhibits in different languages. There are giant sculptures that tower over you and are a site to see, with explanation about them in the museum. We've only seen it during the winter and covered in snow, which gave it a rather beautiful image, so can't comment what it's like without. FYI: there's one toilet for all in the entire place, in a little cabin. I'm adding this because I think it's good to know. After exploring such a space, you may need to relieve your bladder. We spent nearly 2 hours here.
Great architecture, great setting, great story! A good example of Soviet brutalism
You should listen for the heart beats here. Must be brave to visit this place at night time alone. :)
Everyone should visit here and reflect on the past
