St. Peter’s Church, a defining fixture of Riga’s Old Town skyline, has stood since the 13th century and remains one of the city’s most cherished landmarks. Inside, visitors can explore original elements such as stone tombs and wooden altars, which offer a tangible connection to its rich history. The church’s most striking feature is its 404-foot-high (123-meter) Gothic tower, which houses a viewing platform. From this vantage point, visitors can take in panoramic views of the historic city, making it a key highlight of any visit.
