The Riga Panorama Wheel rises 65 meters high on the left bank of the Daugava River, becoming a scenic landmark and a new visual highlight near Uzvaras Park. It offers sweeping views of Riga in all directions – from its historic towers to the modern cityscape. Visitors can enjoy the ride in one of 30 heated and air-conditioned cabins, ensuring comfort in any weather and allowing for a year-round experience. Each ride lasts approximately 15 minutes.
At the entrance area, the ticket counter is too high to be comfortably used by a wheelchair user, but this inconvenience is well compensated by the friendly and helpful staff. Visitors with mobility impairments can expect assistance even without a specific request.
A smooth, paved path leads from the ticket counter to the wheel itself, and staff are available to help passengers board the cabins. The only significant obstacle is the cabin threshold, where the presence of an assistant or staff member is particularly useful. The interior of the cabin is compact – although officially designed for up to eight people, a wheelchair user will find limited space to maneuver, so the view is best enjoyed by turning the head rather than repositioning.
Enhancing the visual experience, a digital exhibition is available on-site, developed in cooperation with the Zuzeum Art Centre. It features historical maps of Riga, 20th-century posters, and original artworks, offering a unique glimpse into the city through different eras.
The attraction also includes a spacious, accessible restroom for visitors with mobility impairments, which can be used by scanning the ticket.
Ticket prices:
– Adults: €17
– Children (ages 3–12): €13
– Students (with ISIC) and seniors: €15
