Fab view BUT DO NOT PRE-PAY!

3.00The view from the top was beautiful BUT they do not accept pre-purchased tickets from Tripadvisor and we were told they have no partnership with any agency. We paid again via a machine inside the lobby - it seemed a shame not to go up as we’d made the effort to get there.
Great views

5.00Best views in Riga, no queuing, took the elevator most of the way up and then just had to walk the final 2 floors. Worth going on a clear day to see everything. No cafes or anything at the top, but nice views and I’d say worth the 7€
Worth the view

5.00My wife and I arrived to the Latvian Academy of Sciences building around 12:30pm. We went inside and paid the lady at the front desk 8 Euros cash per person. I believe it is cash only. Then you head up the elevator to where you may have to weave around a bit, until you reach the observation deck. It was not super busy during our visit. It was a beautiful day, and it was not too windy. Plenty of room to move around, and you can take as much time as you want. There is a restroom available there too. There are also some decent info boards to read. And yes the views are wonderful, and you can get great photos. When you are done, just head back down the elevator. It was a fun visit, well worth the time, effort, and money.
Great way to get a view over Riga and the river

5.00A panoramic view of the Riga skyline from a beautiful building. Situated just near to the Riga central market it’s a bit quieter than the viewing point at St Peter’s Church. A spacious roof with informative signs about prominent buildings, toilets at the top, and a lift to get up there.
A Great Viewpoint for the City of Riga

5.00Very good observation deck of the entire Riga city and area. Go only on nice days and you can see to the horizon. Afternoon is best for pictures of the old city from the observation deck. There are two flights of stairs from where the elevator drops you off so be ready to do some climbing from the 15th to the 17th floor.
