Radio and TV Tower in ???????? Riga, Latvia
Gorgeous Riga Radio and TV Tower is the tallest structure in the Baltic countries and in the European Union. It was built between 1979 and 1986 with funding from the central government of the Soviet Union. Its highest point reaches 368.5 m (1,209 ft), which makes it the third tallest tower in Europe (after the Ostankino Tower at 540 metres (1,772 ft) and the Kiev TV Tower at 385 metres (1,263 ft)) and the 14th tallest tower in the world. There is an observation platform at the height of 97 m, from which most of the city can be seen (and in good weather, the Gulf of Riga, and many of the city surroundings).
The tower is built on an island called Zaķusala in the middle of the River Daugava, and the base of the tower is located about 7 m above mean sea level. The tower is said to be able to withstand extreme winds up to 44 m/s (98 mph) without any noticeable vibration. There are two elevators, one in the north-east pillar and one in the south-west pillar. The third pillar contains a staircase.
Fun Facts: According to rumors, at the first TV Tower project, it was tallest in Soviet Unioin (higher then Ostankino Tower (Moscow)). Project was rejected and tower height reduced because tallest TV and Radio Tower should be ONLY in capital of USSR.
Riga Radio & TV Tower and Views from the Tower, Latvia - 14th January, 2014
Whilst recently in Riga I also visited the city's Radio and TV Tower, which is the tallest structure in the Baltic countries and in the European Union. It was built between 1979 and 1986 with funding from the central government of the Soviet Union. Its highest point reaches 368.5 m (1,209 ft), which makes it the third tallest tower in Europe.
This video features views of the tower from Zakusala Island, which is located in the middle of the Daugava River, approximately 2 miles South east of the City centre. The video then features views over Zakusala, the Daugava River and the city of Riga and its suburbs. This footage is near dusk in January, so the light conditions are not great. The landscape has a light dusting of snow.
To get to the TV tower, we took a bus from near Riga Central Railway Station to Zakusala, the pay-on-board fare was 1 Euro 20 Cents each, cheaper fares can be bought from kiosks near bus stops. From there we travelled approximately four stops to Zakusala island which is across a bridge over the Daugava River. From the bus stop you need to go down steps, under the bridge and then walk 2 kilometres along a footpath to the tower. Whilst this sounds arduous it was definitely worth it. The entry price to go up the tower was very reasonable, around 3 Euro each. This is off the beaten track, and most visitors to Riga don't go there, but it does offer quite a unique experience and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

It was a symbolic start to the ambitious TV tower reconstruction project that LVRTC has been preparing for since 2012.
