Dom Cathedral
Dating back to 1211, the red brick Dom (or Dome) Protestant
Cathedral is a highlight of the historic centre of Riga. The
cathedral is situated near the Western Daugava River and boasts an
incredible organ with over 6,500 pipes built in 1844, stained-glass
windows and a beautifully whitewashed interior. There are regular
concerts held on the organ, and the cathedral also has its own
boy's choir that gives regular performances. A great historical
sight in Latvia, that earns rave reviews from all who experience
it.
Information & Facts
Address
Admission
Language
Latvian is the official language, but English,
Lithuanian, Russian and German are also spoken.
Money
The official currency is the Lat (LVL), which is divided into
100 santims. Most hotels and restaurants in Riga accept credit
cards, and most major banks cash travellers cheques, but outside of
the capital credit cards are not widely accepted and credit card
fraud can be a problem at smaller institutions. Foreign currency
can be exchanged at any bank, at money change kiosks and at some
hotels. Note that a 4% fee will be charged to exchange US dollars
that are torn or marked in any way. Most banks are closed on
Saturdays and Sundays. ATMs are available in the larger cities.
