Latvian Academy of Sciences Observation Deck (Panorama Riga)

Perched on the 17th floor of the Latvian Academy of Sciences, a Stalinist tower in Riga’s Latgale suburb, the Panorama Riga observation deck offers sweeping views of the city’s historical center. The journey to the top of this Socialist-era building is an experience that captures the essence of mid-20th-century architecture. From the deck, visitors can take in the panoramic vistas of Riga’s riverfront and its array of historical landmarks, making it one of the city’s premier viewpoints.
