A nice view, but the platform is narrow and does not allow many visitors before getting crowded. Not a peaceful place.

The views from the top tower are spectacular, however the price of 5 lat (7 euro) seems a bit steep for just a viewing. There are other places for viewing from a top, which are cheaper.

For 5 Lat you can take the elevator to the top of the tower. From there you have a good view of Riga.

You get an outstanding view of the entire old town, and much of Riga. It is a must. The pictures of the church prior and after the bombing are also very informative.

This church is beautiful, and the view from the top is absolutely stunning. Inside the church was beautiful stone work and detailing. You take an elevator to the top of the tower, and are rewarded with 360 degree views. I went in April, when it was rather cold and rainy, but it was still very enjoyable. I also had the... More

It's definitely worth to see but the entrance is quite expensive (5 LVL - normal, 3 LVL - students). But the panorama of the city is very pretty :)

Great view but I went in the afternoon after the morning fog had cleared. You can see the Old Town, Central Market, TV Tower and most of the sights in Riga actually. Also has an interesting art exhibition inside the church itself.
