DO NOT HESITATE! MAKE A RESERVATION!
This must be the best place in Riga! For us it was perfect and we had a wonderful stay in this lovely apartment, during our 7-day holiday in Riga! The apartment is very central in Old Town, but still so very quiet at a side street. We had absolutely no problem to sleep. It is very easy to go to the airport with bus 22.
If you want to visit other parts of Riga, you can easily find trams and buses. Single tickets (1,15 E) can be bought in the culvert against Stockman,
We would recommend;
Visit the Opera, we went on two performances. Order drinks and snacks before the show, so you don't have to queue at the break.( But do not forget to bring cash, they do not take cards.)
Get up early, take a walk and photograph. At 6 o'clock in the morning your are almost alone.
During the weekends, take the Retro-Tram. For example, going north at 10.39 o’clock outside the opera. Cost 2E, you have to pay with cash to the driver.
When you arrive at the last stop with the retro-tram, walk to Alberta iela and look at the houses in the area. We also visited the Riga Art Nouveau Museum.
You can also visit the Latvian Art Museum.
Take the local train to Jurmula beach, 1,4 E. There are many restaurants in the Jurmula area.
If you are a senior, you will have cheaper access to museums.
Always bring cash with you.
Thank you Maria and Diana for letting us stay in your beautiful apartment. Diana is very, very nice and helpful, the best host ever! We already miss ”our home” in Riga, and will definately recommend it to everyone we know.
