✈️ Getting there

RIXRiga International Airport
📍 10 km⏱ 40 min🚌 Bus🚐 Shuttle🚕 Taxi

Bus 22 runs directly from the airport to the city centre every 10-15 minutes for €1.50-€1.81 (pay by contactless card or from the driver) — the journey takes around 40 minutes and drops you near the central station.

The largest airport in the Baltic states, serving over 100 destinations and acting as the main hub for airBaltic alongside a significant Ryanair base — it is a well-organised single-terminal airport with Schengen and non-Schengen piers, efficient but not glamorous.

Don't Miss

Hidden gems and local experiences in Riga — beyond the tourist trail.

🏛️Walk Alberta iela at 8am when the Jugendstil facades catch the morning light with no crowds — look up at the sphinx faces, screaming masks, and serpentine decoration above the doorways. The street is a 10-minute walk from Old Town.
🥟Eat your way through the Central Market (Centraltirgus) on a weekday morning — the five Zeppelin hangars divide into fish, meat, dairy, vegetables, and dry goods. Try smoked sprats from the fish hall and fresh rye bread from any stall.
🪵Go to Kalnciema Quarter on a Saturday morning when the artisan market runs — local farmers, bakers, ceramicists, and textile makers fill the courtyard of this restored wooden building complex on the left bank of the Daugava.
☕Seek out Rocket Bean Roastery on Miera iela in the Riga's hippest street — it doubles as a serious specialty coffee bar and roastery, and Miera iela itself is lined with independent restaurants, record shops, and design studios worth an afternoon.
🌆Climb the steeple of St Peter's Church in Old Town for the best 360-degree city panorama (€9 lift ticket, open until 6pm) — the views over the Daugava river and the Art Nouveau roofscape are extraordinary, especially in late afternoon sun.
