Two most asked questions about visiting Riga

Two most asked questions about visiting Riga:

  1. Don't bring Latvian money from your country to Latvia!
    Simply bring ATM Bank card (best option), GBP Sterling, Euros, or US Dollars (last choice).
    ATM bank machines everywhere at the airport or on the street. Simply use good judgment. Change money at banks all rates are the same. Watch exchange rate at small exchange shops some are rip-offs. more info

  2. For airport (LIDOSTA) transfers, best to use taxi. The company at the airport (Red Renault cars) is safe, fair and reliable. more info
    Price is about 8 Ls (GBP) to center.

  3. Why take a bus and wonder around for an hour in a strange city pulling your luggage to find an address?
    If you must, take bus 22 (most often) (get off at Stockmann)
    more info maps

  4. All bus & tram information http://www.rigabus.info/
