St. Peter's Church

The only thing I liked was the panoramic view of the city from the top. Entrance fee is high. You pay 8 euro to see the church only. And 13 to see the tower. There is a girl who works inside the lift (in this heat). Her job is to collect the tickets. She can’t leave the lift while it gets stuffed with people all the time in that hot weather. I suggest finding another way in collecting tickets and not inside the lift! So overall the view from the top was amazing but the entrance fees and procedures need a serious review

I would recommend this place for a good viewing point of the city. The church inside is nothing special, but the views from the point are worth the ticket price. As others have mentioned, there may be a queue for the lifts, both to go up and come down since there is only one lift in operation and takes only around 10 people each time. The views are nice when the weather is good, but the platform at the top is not too big, and as it's all outdoors, it can be a bit windy.

An excellent way to see the city! Line for the tower was long, but moved quickly. Church was beautiful and worth a visit even if you do not want to go up the tower. We also had a Ukrainian in our group who received 50% off admission (just needed to show proof) which was a lovely touch. The construction did not hinder our visit at all.

Lovely church, you can go up to the top and see great wievs of Riga old town, remember to bring a hat or a scarf.. Its windy up there, on Saturdays it's open till 10pm,so you can catch the sunset and see the town lit up! It's beautiful, I highly recommend to visit if in Riga.

Climbing the tower at the basilica was an unforgettable experience- a few stairs and then elevator, pleasant and bot tiring! The view from the top is absolutely breathtaking, offering sweeping panoramas that make every step worth it. I loved that on Fridays and Saturdays, they stay open late — the last entrance is at 21:30 — giving you the rare chance to see the city lights sparkle after sunset. A must-visit for anyone who loves beautiful views and a touch of adventure!

Exterior is gorgeous and in such a cool area. 9 euros to go up and see a 360 view of Riga which I think was worth it!

Beautiful views, €9 for tower and church entry but on a nice clear day I think it’s worth it. Climb to 3rd floor then there is a lift. Probably not great if you don’t like heights!

The best viewpoint in Riga in my opinion. The elevetor and the viewpoint is quite small so if there are a lot of tourists it can quickly get crowded but totally worth it to go up for the views. Getting in was quick for me and you need to get up a few stairs then take the elevator. A must do in Riga!
