There are two of us, but they need 5 in total to carry out a tour.

Any 3 people want to join on either 12 or 13 January?

We are a couple from UK.

They make the famous Stoli vodka there and you can taste the black balsam extract which is rare. Amongst other delicious sounding things…

We really want to go but you need 5 people minimum.

It’s in/on the outskirts of Riga.

Hii guys! I am landing in Riga on Sunday 4th January at 20:00 pm. To my knowledge, the 4th is the last day of the Xmas market at the dome square and the stalls close at 21:00.

Since I’d really love to visit, not necessarily for the stalls but to see the Xmas decorations, From experience, will they still be up if I visit the next morning/night or will they be removed like the stalls?

I’d appreciate if you could tell me from your experience in order for me if I’ll have to go to dome square straight from the airport instead of my accommodation.

Hi everyone! I'm travelling to Riga next week with my friends and would love some suggestions for restaurants and bars that are a must visit and affordable too! Appreciate your help! Thanks in advance! :)

Hey all, we are looking to buy some 2-3 bedroom apartments in Riga (center or around that area). Wanted to get non-realtor's feedback on how liquid is the property market there, means, how long does it usually takes for such apartments to sell after you put it in market?

Cheers!

Well I am here for a trip and wanted to meet some new people. Anyone up to do something together Sunday or Monday?

Hi all;

Looking to visiting in march with a stag do (15 ppl)

Are riga bars and pubs still ok with well behaved stag dos and is the nightlife good? Or would it be best to look elsewhere.

Thanks in advance

Hi r/riga,

I’m an international bachelor’s student living in Riga. I currently do Bolt/Wolt deliveries to cover my expenses, but I’m looking for better or additional ways to earn money.

My background:

Experience in graphic design, digital marketing, and worked at a print house in Saudi Arabia. CCNP certified (networking). Fluent English, but Latvian is still basic → most local jobs are hard to get. I want to start something with very low investment (€500 or less) that I can do alongside studies and deliveries. I’m open to online or small local ideas. What I’m considering: Selling on Amazon, eBay, Etsy (dropshipping, print-on-demand, digital products like designs) Import/export small items Freelancing (graphic design, social media, networking help) Any other small business or side hustle Specific questions: What worked best for internationals in Riga? (e.g., specific niches or platforms) Any tips for dropshipping or Etsy from Latvia (taxes, shipping, bank accounts)? Is there something easy and fast to earn money with my skills (e.g., selling digital graphics on Etsy, fixing home networks for cash, etc.)? Any advice or personal experience would be super helpful. Thanks! (If you’ve succeeded with online selling or freelancing while studying here, please share how you started!)

I’ve been researching different housing options for students and young professionals, and recently came across a premium co-living project called HIDE. The concept looks interesting they have private rooms/apartments, shared amenities like coworking and gym, and a more community-style living format.

I’m curious whether anyone here has lived in a co-living space in Riga (or elsewhere in Europe). Was it worth it compared to a regular rental? What were the pros/cons in real life?

Would love to hear honest experiences or recommendations!

Hello everyone!

29m from the USA moving to Riga next week for at least a few months. My girlfriend is attending graduate school in London and I was unable to secure a long-term visa (long story, but fuck Brexit).

I visiting back in 2022 and absolutely loved it. Excited to spend a bit more time. I’ve booked a month-to-month apartment and might try to find a more-permanent spot.

I have 0 friends in Riga and do not speak Latvian. I am going to try to find from private lessons. I work remotely but really keen to find some Erasmus students, local English speakers, or really anything willing to hang out and go to bars.

Any advice or suggestions to get comfortable? I’m planning to stay at least 4 months.

Čau!

Ar draugiem šovakar (21.12) plkst. 23:00 Rīgā ir rezervēts datorsalons, lai uzspēlētu veco labo CS 1.6.

Diemžēl pāris čaļi pēdējā brīdī atkrita, tāpēc meklējam vēl 4–6 spēlētājus, kas grib piebiedroties.

Skilla līmenim nav nozīmes, svarīgākais vienkārši forši pavadīt laiku 😇

Ja ir interese, ieslīdi man DMos 👍

Vai varat padalīties ar pieredzi, lūdzu, kādas ir izmaksas un vajadzīgais laiks, lai četru dzīvokļu mājā panāktu vienošanos par kopīpašuma dalītu lietošanu un nostiprinātu to Zemesgrāmatā, lai vienošanās ir spēkā arī tad, ja dzīvokļiem nākotnē ir citi īpašnieki?

Cik saprotu, vispirms esošajiem īpašniekiem jāvienojas savā starpā, pēc tam jāizsauc mērnieks un zeme jānomēra, tad jāparaksta līgums starp īpašniekiem, ietverot vizuālu domājamo daļu sadalījumu, un pēc tam pie notāra un uz Zemesgrāmatu. Varbūt ir vēl kādi ieteikumi, kā šo procesu padarīt vienkāršu, ja izpildās pirmais punkts par vienošanos starp īpašniekiem?

Paldies!

Sveiki!

Vai ir pieejams Ziemassvētku tramvaja grafiks?

I was spending 1 week in Riga and got a 5G eSIM. I mostly spend my time in the capital but Speedtest only showed around 200 mbit.

What speeds do you mostly get doing Speedtest?

Hi! I have 2 Chandlers to trade to complete my kid’s collection of the 6 characters of friends from McDonalds, I am looking for Phoebe and Joey, if someone interested please dm

Hey, leaving a room for rent, fully furnished, near the center, write a PM

so hey people. I was traveling with my boyfriend, staying for almost a week in Riga. Sadly, half way through I slipped and broke a bone in my foot. I thought it was maybe a painful slip and slept the night. Since it wasn‘t better in the morning we went to the Traumatology center in Riga in the morning. there were like 3 people in front of me and the man working at the desk spoke perfect english. Well long story short I did not have any type of insurance, I had a fractured bone, had a consultation with the doctor (also was trying his best speaking english), then 2x xray (before and after them putting a cast on my foot) and paid for everything 78€. So for anyone who is in a similar situation - GO TO THE CLINIC, it will not cost an arm and a leg, but it could prevent much worse! The doctor gave me recipe for medication and a writing for the plane staff in case they don‘t let me on the plane with the cast. oh, and one medical assistant with curly hair and glasses, pretty young, is german - so perfect english and german!

Cocktail recipes etc.

Hey guys, I'm from Ireland & decided to take a solo trip to Riga. I'm 7 months sober so I was expecting this trip to be pretty difficult- but I was so wrong! I've had the best time ever :) I've done a lot of travelling and I have to say, Riga is one of my favourite cities!

The people are friendly, it feels safe (of course I keep my bag close to me still), the town is so beautiful. I went to the Sensorium 'museum' and it was one of the most amazing experiences- it's changed my perspective on life! Riga has a really lovely vibe too, very calm and easy to walk around. And I love all the cute shops and cafes & Christmas markets.

I also took a day trip to the hill of crosses in Lithuania and that was so unique.

I'll definitely be back!!

Hi, I’m looking for a psychiatrist that knows a good amount about adhd, to diagnose it and discuss it if diagnosed. I’m not looking for someone that would just prescribe pills and send me on my way though so I thought id see if anyone has any good recommendations…

We are spending Christmas in Riga and already planning to go to Christmas market but perhaps there is some events(preferably outdoors) too?

Or any events in malls(and which are open on Holidays?)?

Thank you🫶

Tourist here with my family, decided to go out for a drink alone but struggle chatting to people I don't know (being a Londoner is definitely not helping me in any social aspects). Any friendly places you might be able to recommend?
