Arriving in Riga

Arriving in Riga is fairly simple these days. The bus and train stations are located right on the edge of Old Riga and the airport is only a short cab or bus ride away. Money can be changed wherever you land, but rates at banks and exchange booths will no doubt be better in Old Riga and the city centre.

    That's true. It's better NOT to take taxis in Riga. Most of them shamelessly cheat and so far the authorities haven't been able to do anything to improve the situation. In any event, most of the sights in downtown Riga are easily reachable by walkin[...]
