The Riga region

"Riga. The Paris of the Baltics". The Perfect Escape
 
Riga truly is an undiscovered jewel of the “New Europe” with a depth of history & dozens of activities. Targeted at adults, plan to dine “alfresco” in the Summer months in one of the numerous “Laukums” or Squares, where many Restaurants provide live music whilst you dine at remarkably low prices. Take the toepath from outside the Apartment down passed the River where you can stop off at one of many of the small bars or cafeterias for a speciality coffee (for less than £1) or a beer (for £1.40). Or take a boat trip along the River, which provide everything from the “Tourist Tour” to full on board 5 star cuisine & service. Or just perhaps a rowing boat or a "pedallo" for two along the "Pilsetas Kanals", the small tributary river that divides the Riga Old Town (Vecriga) from the main suburbs and shops. For the culturally minded there is the National Opera House. And of course there is the usual attractions of the Riga night life with its nightclubs and late night bars.

Currency

The national currency is the Latvian Lat. The currency is strong and stable and pegged to the Euro. As a new European State, Latvia is expected to join the European Single Currency in 2010.

If you are thinking of changing money, get some at the airport before you arrive, but change most when you are in Riga as the exchange rate is more favourable. Most Restaurants, Bars, and even taxis accept credit cards so no need to panic if you run short of cash!

Climate

Being part of Continental Europe, Latvia enjoys a remarkable variation in weather, and contrary to popular belief, Summer can be really hot & frequently hotter than the UK, especially in July when the midday temperature can rise rise to as much as 36°C. At this time of year dawn breaks at 4:30am and the sun doesn't set until 10:30pm. May to September daytime temperatures average 67°F (17°C). The weather in Spring & Autumn fairly mild. Rainfall is common throughout the year with the heaviest being the occasional thunderstorm in August. However during severe spells of Winter, Latvia can suffer from the cold winds from Russia & snowfall is common. The coldest months are January and February and Riga can experience extreme temperatures (-25°C in crisp, clear blue sky), but averages are only -1°C during the day because of the proximity of the Baltic Sea & the Gulf Stream.

For this reason a lot of the older buildings get very cold in the Winter months. This is not a problem for our suite which is brand new & fully air conditioned, so you can set the temperature to suit you.

Riga City area

The main advantage of this apartment is its superb location.
 
Just 5 minutes stroll from the famous Riga “Old Town” (Vecriga) our apartment suite is situated on the third floor of an equally brand new sparkling modern glass building overlooking the “Daugava”, Riga’s equivalent of the River Thames of London.
 
Sandwiched perfectly between the International Embassies, overlooking the private Marina, and just a few minutes walk straight into the very centre of Riga’s Tourist District, it could not be better located.
 
Take a 2 minute walk down the Embankment, turn left past the President’s Residence and you will find yourself right in the middle of Riga’s most exclusive Shopping Centre, Nightlife & Restaurants. Within 5 minutes you will arrive at the “Doma Laukums” Square with its huge open space, outdoor dining & its famous ‘Dome’ Steak House, where the very best steaks are served exactly to your preference. One minute further on and you will arrive at the “Livu Laukums” Square, with its Cafes and Bars (with live music in the Summer months), relax with a drink as you soak up the atmosphere & admire the superb architecture of the surroundings.

How to get there

-Fly from the UK with Ryanair direct. There are also numerous low cost airlines now flying to this Capital City

-Local buses & taxis run regularly between the airport and the City. Buses cost 0.40 Lat (£0.50p) fixed fee for drop off anywhere in the City and taxis around 12 Lat (£15) for drop off at the apartment front door.

A car is NOT necessary nor recommended as parking can be expensive & hard to find. Public transport is plentiful, easy to use & understand (think of London and you get the idea)

Guestbook for Riga apartment with river view

"Our trip to Latvia was incredible! The apartment was comfortable, clean, and so convenient! The view of the river was wonderful. We even got to see fireworks over the river one night! Wireless internet was a huge plus.
Simon was so helpful before we left for our trip with advice, recommendations, and flexible pay options. Be sure to go to Alus Seta in Old Town! Tasty cafeteria style food at a good price. Katija at the Visitor's Centre was also a great help. She speaks wonderful English (which we needed desperately) and was able to be our translator to find our relatives. Thank you Simon!" Kimberly, Colorado, USA

"Your apartment in Latvia is a credit, the place is lovely. Your local agent was very helpful and spoke great English. We hope to go again in the near future. Just my partner and myself for a long weekend and would love to rent the apartment again if available." Ken, Liverpool, UK
