Journey Timeline
The House of the Blackheads has stood on Riga's Town Hall Square since the 14th century, rebuilt from ruins after the Second World War and now one of the most photographed buildings in the Latvian capital's Old Town. Every New Year's Eve, the square in front of it becomes the city's main gathering point for the countdown to midnight.
This footage was captured live via webcam as 2025 turned into 2026 — the final seconds of the countdown, a light show projected onto the historic façade in the colors of the Latvian flag, and the fireworks that followed over the Old Town rooftops.
