AVFCDAN Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Went in June. Firstly had a cracking time, so many green areas littered around Riga, lots of new development as well so its not run down at all really. Travelled by taxi to the nearest beach one day and that was really nice as well, all redeveloped with new shops and restaurants with a long promenade type thing. Big town hall with traditional dancing going on. Prices for food and beer were all reasonable, locals were friendly enough and helpful. Wasn't much in the way of clubs but lots of pubs/bars littered around. Would definitely recommend for anyone thinking of going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Just got back from RIga, wow what a city. Loved it, wasn't as cprrupt as I thought it would be. people were generally friendly. Was cheap and tonnes of bars/clubs which were all enjoyable. Food was good too. Recommend for a stag.But the customer service is absolutely dire be warned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I've just been pricing up going in July, next year. It'll be my birthday, and also Black Sabbath are playing there. Anyone recommend the cheapest way to get there directly, and a decent hotel to stay in (centrally or near the arena)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One way. I guessed your date!Not too far off! Flying on my birthday, and getting into Riga at about midday, is £37!Traveling the day before, I can't get a direct flight, and it puts £100 on the cost! Strange! Only issue I'd have is, I'd have to get to Manchester airport for a 6:30 flight, and stay awake for the gig on the night. Hmmm...
