Price and when to book

Airline and stopovers

Pegasus operates this route with 2 stopovers on the outbound journey. It's not a direct flight, but the competitive pricing makes up for it. Expect intermediate stops that will lengthen your travel time, typical for connections from the Middle East to the Baltic. Check your confirmation for layover details and connecting airports so you can plan your schedule properly.

Best time to visit

Riga shines in summer (June to August) when the Old Town cafés buzz and you get nearly 18 hours of daylight. For fewer crowds, aim for May or September: pleasant weather and a quieter atmosphere. Winter (November to February) is cold but magical if you fancy frozen Baltic views and the Christmas market. Any month works for flight availability; choose based on your climate preference and budget.

What to do when you arrive

Riga airport sits 13 km from the city centre; a bus or taxi gets you to Old Town in half an hour. Stroll the cobbled streets along the Daugava river, climb Riga Cathedral (Doma Baznica) and explore the city's Art Nouveau architecture, a Unesco World Heritage site. Sample local beer in any pub and eat at the Central Market: Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian food all in one spot.
