We flew at the end of January to the weekend in Riga - to meet with friends.
In the footsteps of the trip - several useful Soviets With reference.
It will come in handy myself and others.

Public transport.

There are tickets for all types of transport that are valid for a certain time.

1-hour ticket - 2.30 EUR
24-hour tickets to all routes -5.00 EUR

The airport.

Riga airport.
Liquids, as in the whole of Europe, prohibited.
But you can sit in a cafe in front of the flight and buy any drinks in automatic machines, cafes and duty-free shops after personal inspection.

An important nuance. For flights to Israel, there is another inspection directly before landing. Liquids purchased earlier at the airport are missing without problems.
But! One interesting "but".
The airport building is rather long, and sometimes you have to go through the whole terminal. In the shops, machine guns and cafes near the total licks of personal inspection price is cheaper than further deep into the airport.

Housing.

Housing in Riga is pleasant and relatively inexpensive.
Everyone can find themselves to taste and wallet.

Book hotels Book by Booking.com.. Often give hotels very good discounts. Last time on the way to Lapland, we lived in a wonderful hotel in the center for only 22 euros.

Apartments Book on Airbnb.. This time we lived in an excellent bright and warm apartment-attic 3 nights for 75 euros. With excellent views of all 4 sides on Riga roofs.

Purchases

Frankly, I am not a specialist in the tourist shopping.
But there are some observations on Riga.

Riga indoor market.
Located at the station in the former Angaras for airship, which is already remarkable in itself.
In each case - its own specificity: meat, fish, bread, cheeses ... Next to meat they sell wine to spill, and with fish - spill beer. There are also tables and you can get off purchased right on site.
In the market. Perhaps the cheapest small souvenirs are leather haberdashery, magnets and ceramics.
Souvenirs in Riga, everything as on the selection - "Shimushi". How will it be in Russian? Utilitarian, or what? But this is also not Russian ...
In general, excellent leather products - especially love wallets.

Old city
A lot of all sorts of souvenir benches and boutiques - especially good knitwear, amber, leather, ceramics. All excellent quality, very stylish and tastefully done. Buy everyone wants. In general, Latvia is famous for its designers.
It is clear that in boutiques in the very center of the old city, the highest prices. A little away - already cheaper. All that is sold on the street on open counters (in Jurmala too) is cheaper than in stores.
I am sure that if you like shopping from tourist roads - then there will be prices even lower.

Molla
They were not.
But on the way to the airport, a huge Mall was noticed near the old city - on the other side of the river, switching the vest bridge - there was a bunch of popular English stores.

the Internet
In Riga for an independent traveler, Mobile Internet - Mast: There you can find almost any info on the schedule of transport, the time of operation of any store and what is in which shopping mole is what is. By the way, most Latvian sites have an interface in Russian. Cards with prepayment are quite inexpensive and sold at almost every corner, for example, Narvessen's kiosks, including at the airport. Registration is not required. (from comments)
By personal experience. We drove just 2.5 days, so I did not buy any SIM card. WiFi is everywhere - in all cafes, hotels, apartments, taxi.
Lifehak. If you suddenly need the Internet on the street - just go closer to any parked taxi.

Riga weekend

In Riga, there are six large taxi companies that have proven themselves in the market, with more than 50 cars. There are also hundreds of smaller.

Taxi cars, according to requirements, must have special numbers yellow color (Sometimes there are machines with ordinary white numbers), a plane on the roof and the emblem of a taxi company on the side door of the car with an indication of the city.

The cost of travel in a taxi is out of the cost of landing, kilometer and time on the way. At night, the tariff may be more expensive. Taxi can be ordered by phone, you can "catch" on the street. As a rule, a taxi, ordered by phone, turns out to be cheaper. In Riga, you can use the Unified Taxi Call Service (tel.) Or call directly to the selected company. The dispatcher can specify the route in advance and the cost of the trip. Waiting for a taxi will have about 15-20 minutes.

Almost any company can be ordered a trip to another city of Latvia.

You can pay for the passage by cash and bank card. If you are going to use a bank card, warn the dispatcher or check with the driver about the presence of a terminal.

If small children go with you, let us know when ordering a taxi, so that you sent a car equipped with a children's chair.

Some companies provide a "sober driver" service. Two drivers will come to you, one of which will take your car.
