Riga, Latvia
A small ticket covers the cathedral and the cloister, which holds an outdoor collection of carved stones, cannon and old weathercocks. Organ concerts are the main business here and are ticketed separately: the 1884 Walcker organ has 6,718 pipes and was the largest in the world when built, and half-hour recitals are held several times a week at a modest price. Longer evening concerts cost more.
Riga, Latvia
Saint Peter's Church stands in the heart of Riga's Old Town, near the Town Hall Square and the House of the Blackheads, and it is known for its tall spire and the viewing platform, reached by lift, which gives a panoramic view of the Old Town, the Daugava river and the city. The church is used as a museum and exhibition hall, and entry is ticketed, with the lift included or charged separately.
