Take in Latvia's capital from a unique perspective aboard the Riga Rise Ferris wheel. You’ll enjoy the city’s best panoramic views and discover its history through a digital art gallery.
Why Ride the Riga Rise Ferris Wheel?
Located in the heart of Victory Park on the banks of the Daugava River, the Riga Rise Ferris wheel isn’t just a tourist attraction, it’s also the tallest observation wheel in the Baltic States and Northern Europe. Did you know this structure has become a true icon of Riga's skyline?
As you step into one of its modern gondolas, each with a capacity for 8 people, you’ll rise above the city’s rooftops to admire the beauty of the “heart of the Baltics” no matter the season. We’re sure you’ll fall in love with the views!
The experience at Riga Rise goes beyond the ride itself. Before or after boarding the Ferris wheel, you can explore an exclusive digital gallery created in collaboration with the Zuzeum Art Centre. Through historical maps, antique engravings, 20th-century posters, and original artworks, you’ll learn about the evolution of Latvia’s capital while observing it from above.
The Riga Ferris wheel ride lasts between 15 and 20 minutes. The full experience, including the ride and the visit to the digital gallery, lasts approximately 1 hour.
