Amazing

Worth the price. You can see the entire city from there. There’s an elevator that takes you to the 15th floor and then you have to go two floors upstairs by foot.

A great Experience

I went to the reception and paid 5 Euros and went up by lift. Walked up about 4 flights to the observation deck. So many famous people must have walked those stairs going up.

Good point near historical center

Not far about center and good 360 view without dirty windows. Beautiful Stalin building. When I saw it, I thought about seven sister in Moscow.

Good view

While getting on the top, you can get a feeling of "Back to the USSR" :)))) But the view is good and the price is about 5 Eur. If you want to get the pictures with a view - go there :)

The best panorama ir Riga

Very nice sights! For the price of 5 euros you can go up with the elevator to the 15th floor, additional two floors by stairs and then you can enjoy a breathtaking view of Daugava river.

Hi, I found information that it's open every day on web page Live Riga. But I think you should ask direct at the page Latvian Academy of Science, they have an email and they should give you real answer :-)
