Hiking
The Academy of Sciences is jokingly called "Stalin's Birthday Cake". For 6 euros admission you can take the lift up and enjoy a unique view over Riga.

The building was a 1961 gift from the Soviet Union as a Palace of Culture and Science. Today the seat of the Latvian Academy of Sciences.

Built by the Russians in the style of confectionery. It feels a little like the sight of this skyscraper as in Moscow.
