About Panorama Riga Observation Deck

The Panorama Riga is an observation deck located at the top of the Latvian Academy of Sciences building and provides an uninterrupted 360-degree view of the city. One can see the five bridges over the river Daugava, Old Riga, and the Central Market. From the observation deck, you can watch the most beautiful sunset or have a romantic date at 65 meters high above the ground. The building itself is a Soviet-era relic supposedly inspired by the old buildings of Riga, but strangely it resembles the Empire State Building of America.
