Located in Northern Europe, on the shores of the Baltic Sea, Latvia’s neighbours include Estonia and Lithuania. Latvia gets terrifically cold in winter, but party nights in Riga are hot, hot, hot, whether you visit in spring, summer or autumn. Once a very popular destination for stag groups who would arrive en masse to give their groom a cheap, but fun-filled send-off, Riga seems to have fallen off the stag radar somewhat – and most locals are fine with that.
Families, couples, older travellers and low-key groups will find a warm welcome in the nation’s capital, which has much to offer to tourists. With an array of beautiful buildings, plus museums, striking monuments and buzzing markets, visitors to Riga can easily fill two or three days with sightseeing. And when night falls, the bars and clubs of Riga’s Old Town ensure that the fun times don’t end at the stroke of midnight.
Riga International Airport (RIX) is the nation’s only major airport. You can find out more about getting to Riga below, as well as information on getting to and from the airport.
