Shmakovka Museum, Latgale Region, Latvia
4.5 (23 reviews) Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #8 in Daugavpils Speciality Museums
Worth visiting
Interesting place to visit. You can find 2 different halls with exhibits. One is interactive, so guide in not needed. Second hall exhibits real, very high quality equipment for alcohol production. Our guide Sasha was amazing. Fluent russian, lots of personal stories, additional facts and information. I think all in all we spent an hour in the museum, but it was an eye blink. Besides, You can taste several types of Shmakovka at the museum. Definately recommend this place to all adults.

Guided tour is a MUST
I thought I was going to get an audioguide when I booked a timeslot to visit this museum (timeslot booking required... thanks to COVID). Upon arrival and paying, I was offered a guided tour instead. Sure, it was 7,50 EUR more... but it was so worth it. The guide was very good at explaining each panel station, giving detailed information and making it interactive, too. It is important to note that there are no explanation panels on the items on display... so the audioguide is a minimum. Our tour lasted about 1 hour and we covered everything, including the tasting. The guided tour is highly recommended.
