Oliver’s apartment was only a 20 minute taxi ride from Riga Aiport. We purchased a taxi ticket from Baltic Taxi Office at the airport (15€). The apartment is huge and clean with a large dining and living space. A few minutes walk to the local supermarket ‘Rimi’, locals bars and shops on the same block or a 20 minute walk to the old town and central market. Two very traditional restaurants which are a must, were ‘The FolkKlub, family friendly by day (high chairs) ~lots of choice of local beers and inexpensive quality food, live music at night. Lido restaurant, where the staff are dressed up in traditional costume, buffet style Latvian food. Great trip all round, Oliver very friendly and gave great recommendations
