Fabulous organ! We were able to find a free concert that was a student recital. Beware of the beggars outside.

The outside was being restored and was covered with scaffolding when we were there, but you could still see how magnificent it is. Inside was more plain than other churches in Latvia and throughout Europe, but was beautiful in a completely simplistic way.

Interesting Cathedral in that it is quite plain, unlike some of the Baroque examples in other parts of Central Europe - as such it is a welcome change. It is worthwhile following the exhibition in the Cloister area, as it explains the history of the Cathedral and how it developed and then got through Soviet times.

The first time I visited Riga Dome Cathedral happened to be July, 2011, the exact day they were celebrating their 800 year anniversary! Lots of news media and speeches going on that day but we were still allowed to roam the gardens and museum on our own. So much to see and the view from the top is amazing!

Cathedral even under restoration looks ancient and great for outskirts of Europe. Inside is placed one of greatest and one of most famous organs in Eastern Europe. Concerts are beautiful.

It must be a part of a pleasant walking over Old Town of Riga. The organ music conserts and the museum inside.

Beautiful and old church. Attended an organ concert and it was in itself worth the trip to Riga

The outside area around is nice, but nothing to view inside.
The orgue is big, but under renovation work, not really visible.
You have many other churchs to visit in Riga, nicer and ... free !
