St Peter's Church in Riga is known for its tall tower, which offers stunning views of the city, including the red roofs of Old Town, the modern part of Riga, Riga Bay, and the Daugava River with its large port. The church itself was originally built in 1209, but only a few walls and pillars remain from that time. The Gothic tower, which was over 130 meters tall, was completed in the late 15th century. However, it collapsed in 1666 and was rebuilt in the Baroque style in 1690–at the time, it was the tallest wooden structure in the world. In 1721, the tower was struck by lightning and burned down. It was later restored, but once again it burned down during World War II. Renovation of the tower began in 1967, and today, it stands at a height of 123.25 meters. Visitors can access the second gallery, which is 72 meters above the ground. In 1997, St Peter's Church was added to UNESCO's World Heritage list.

The three 14th and 15th century towers dominate the port area of the city and are architectural symbols of La Rochelle as a strong opponent of state power in the past. You can visit the towers for great panoramic views and some sightseeing! Don´t forget to bring your camera!

Daut Pasha Baths was once the largest and oldest Turkish bath in all of the Balkans. It dates from 1466 and it underwent an extensive restoration after the Second World War. Nowadays the building houses the National Art Gallery featuring many small exhibitions.

If you are staying in La Rochelle and want to go on a day trip, Fouras is a small coastal town that is located south from the port. There you can find beautiful beaches, restaurants and piers. You can also reach the famous Fort Boyard by ferry from there.
