Riga Television Tower (Rigas Radio un Televizijas Tornis in Latvian) is the highest building in the region and third highest TV tower in Europe. Built in the 1980s, it is 368,00 m (1,207.33 ft) above the sea level. This is 3 m higher than the famous Berlin TV tower or 47 m higher than the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

At the heights of 93 m, there used to be “Veja Roze” (Rose of Wind) restaurant. Unfortunately, it was closed during the 2000s. However, the TV tower is still operating and is completing a magnificent panoramic view of Riga.

Riga TV Tower is located on Zakusala Island. This building wouldn’t be out of place in any film, and from its observation deck which is located at the height of 97m, you can enjoy panoramic views of Riga, the distant Latvian countryside, and the Baltic Sea. In the good weather Riga Gulf, Riga Hydroelectric Power Plant and even Sigulda can be seen.

The design of the tower was commissioned by the Soviet State Communication Design Institute and was finally completed in 1986.

The basement of this, the world’s 11th highest tower, is 27 meters deep. Riga’s extreme temperature variations (a 65 degrees Celsius range in 2010) can move the tip of the tower by 2.4 meters!
