Best time to visit
Riga shines in summer (June to August) with long days and mild weather. Winter is cold but magical if snow appeals to you. January, when we see the example dates, has charm, just pack for -5 to 0°C. There's no guaranteed 'cheap season' here; your dates matter more than the time of year.
What to do when you arrive
Riga Airport (RIX) is 13 km from the city. The Old Town (UNESCO) is a must: medieval lanes, Riga Cathedral, 13th–14th-century churches. Explore the Art Nouveau district (Jugendstil), walk the Daugava waterfront, hit the Central Market. A city card gives free public transport and museum discounts.
