Helpful Tips
Pick up the e-ticket card at Riga Central Station. One swipe covers all Rigas Satiksme trams, buses and trolleybuses. No fumbling for coins. Tap and ride.
Bolt and Yandex apps deliver quick, cash-free taxi rides across Riga and other major Latvian cities. Order, hop in, go. Simple.
Airport Express bus 322 pulls away every 20-30 minutes from Riga International Airport straight to the city center. Watch for the blue livery.
Tallink shuttle buses link Riga Coach Station with the ferry terminal. Step off the coach, step onto the boat for Stockholm and Helsinki. Easy transfers.
Common Scams to Avoid
Unlicensed taxis at Riga International Airport quote inflated flat rates instead of using the meter. Insist on the official taxi queue or pre-book via the airport's recommended ride-hailing apps.
Currency-exchange kiosks inside the terminal advertise "zero commission" but bury a poor exchange rate in the fine print. Compare the offered rate against the mid-market rate shown on your phone before handing over cash.
Baggage porters in the arrivals hall offer to carry bags to the curb then demand a high fee for a 50-meter walk. Politely decline unless you've agreed on a price in advance.
