A tour in the dark is a unique opportunity to visit everyday spaces, but to do so completely in darkness – that is, to experience the world differently than before. In Riga, at 1a Ķengaraga Street, an extraordinary place has been created, which encourages a completely different perspective on the world.

In this place, you can explore 5 rooms – a living room, an art museum (of course, not like in regular museums where exhibits can only be viewed without touching them. Here, you will need to feel to determine the appearance of a statue or painting), a market where you rely mostly on smell, a street with all its turns, crossings, street edges, and the sounds we are accustomed to, which sound completely different in the dark... There is also a cafe that offers food and drinks, which can only be tasted in the dark.

On one hand – an exciting and entertaining experience. On the other – an opportunity to learn how those who constantly live in the dark feel and act. This way, visitors can learn that they often feel awkward, lost, or confused, and also that the blind are not entirely helpless. They experience the world differently, and visitors will have the opportunity to get a sense of that.

This is not just a tour. The Invisible World offers tours for schools to educate children about the lives of the blind, for groups who seek interesting bonding events. These visits can turn into dates – allowing them to gain different impressions of each other, with mutual support and reliance on one another being crucial.

An unusual, even unique experience for business events. Without sight to distract attention, people will listen more attentively, and perhaps this way they can discover participants' potential in a new way.

Blind individuals work as guides.

Visits must be pre-booked. Tours are available both individually and in groups. The maximum group size is 8 participants. Up to 4 groups can be served simultaneously. One tourlasts approximately one and a half hours.
