The silhouette of modern Riga cannot be imagined without the high and needle-sharp spire of the Lutheran Church of St. Peter. This unique architectural monument is a business card of the capital of Latvia, it is easily recognizable and often appears on various advertising booklets and postcards. Visitors usually aim to get to one of the observation decks located at a height of 57 and 71 meters to view the surroundings of the Old Town and take a few photos as a souvenir. The height of St. Peter's Church together with the spire is 124 meters.

Everyone visiting Riga is obliged to go up to the observation deck above the church to enjoy the beautiful view of Old Riga. See both banks of the Daugava (Dvina). The rise is carried out by elevator, so both adults and children will master it. From there, a view of the river port opens, where motor ships start to the Scandinavian Peninsula.
