Hi all,

Just asking if anyone has been to the airport recently and has an idea how much the airport sells 50g of Amber Leaf and/or Golden Virginia?

Any rough idea would be amazing please. Thanks!

Can I drive a car legally in Riga with an Indian Driving Licence? Or do I need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP)? Is IDP accepted in self drive car rental agencies?

FYI - I am already taking driving lessons in Riga. I have taken 5-6 driving lessons of 1.5 hour each and more sessions are planned. The instructor is educating me with all the traffic rules & signs.

I'm an early 30s Canadian male and will be visiting Latvia and Lithuania during for Christmas and the New Year.

Just wondering where has better nightlife scene for bars and clubs to celebrate the New Year?

Thanks!

Hi! Im looking for a wholesale place/ store to buy a piece of otoro and/or chutoro. I know some restaurants serve it, but im really looking for a piece to cut myself.

I'll be visiting Riga during the week of Christmas. Is Jurmala worth a visit as well?

And would you recommend 3 days or 4 days?

I am a Canadian male in his early 30s if that matters.

Thanks!

Sveiki!
I have my latvian ID card and I am a student here in Riga. I am wondering how I can sign up for a General Practioner, or a family's doctor, for me when I want to check my health, take bloodwork or similar.
I really need them to be able to speak english, and accept payment by card. Price can be midrange to low, but quality is definitely important to me.
Location is also preffered to be pardaugava or centrs.

Hi all,

Myself and my girlfriend are visiting for a few days in November and was wondering where the best fried garlic bread is located?

Thanks :)

Hi! I'm staying in an apartment in Riga and the heating system works with wood and I'm running out of it. Do you know places in Riga where I can buy some? Thank you!

My wife & I are leaving today after an all too brief 5 day trip to Riga to celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary. Each year we always try to travel somewhere new for the special date (we live in Glasgow, Scotland) and this year we decided to try somewhere that avoided all the typical London/Paris/Rome type touristy trips (as much as we do love those cities as well!).

Obviously Riga isn't exactly hidden from the world - but we didn't know anything about it & it was our first time in Latvia/the Baltics...and what a time we've had!

The city is so clean*, we did a few walking tours & museums to learn about the city; even the weather has left us in awe. While it's probably just as cold as what we have in Glasgow, we've experienced so little wind & rain here, that it's felt like paradise for this time of year.

Riga has immediately become one of our favourite cities & we will definitely be back. So thank you to Riga for giving us our favourite anniversay trip so far!

*please explain to me how it's so clean, we need to get our shit in shape back home!

Received this on my Gmail account- this already made me suspicious. Mail came from noreply-elieta@ic.iem.gov.lv. I had to use google translate so I'm not sure how accurate it is, another red flag was that it was not translated to english. Apparently I have been a witness to a traffic incident while I was on a Bolt scooter. I was visiting Riga and did use a Bolt scooter on that day, but my account states that I returned the scooter before the time of the alleged incident. Any comments?

Hello, I (33M) will be in Riga from the 4th to 8th of November and I'm looking for bars, pubs, places with table football or table tennis.

I come from a country where we love playing those games while sipping on beer and drinks. Do you have recommendations for such places in Riga?

Additionally, if there is someone, who'd like to join me, grab some drinks and play the games, let me know.

Hey, any party tips in Riga

Hello , so I just found this hairdresser who doesn’t speak English and she has some prices there but I don’t speak Latvian and couldn’t find the correct translation. When I asked for the price she said 20€ for hair wash and blow dry … she talked with her friend first and took some time to reply to me … is she asking more than she should ? Mind you she had a sign up that she is practising and just opened her business. Let me know what you think 🤔

Hello everyone!

I was wondering...do you have a local reliable online store like amazon has for italy/germany etc where you can buy all kind of stuff at reasonable prices without having to scout prices for every physical store? Back in Italy I was used to monitor prices and buy all kinda of stuff online, here in Riga i find myself a lot of times forced to visit different shops to understand what and where to buy.

Thanks everyone in advance for your help, all of you in this community are very helpful all the times!

Hi r/Riga,

I visited your beautiful city last weekens and had a great time exploring the parks, old town and art nouveaux district. However I was surprised at the lack of people anywhere.

Even the restaurant Barents was almost empty and they commented how it is usually full on a Saturday night.

So where were all the people in Riga last weekend? Or is this normal and the city is usually this quiet?

Thanks

I went to a psychiatrist at ARS medical center, but he was unpleasant and a bit unprofessional, not showing much interest. Can anyone recommend a psychiatrist who is nice and makes an effort to help? I live in the center area but can drive.

Hi, I will be in Riga from tomorrow until Saturday.

I would like to go to a place where the ambiente is chill. Do you have any recommendations?

P.S.: If anybody is up for some socializing, feel free to DM :)

Or is this normal? It's my first night here.

And the House of Black Heads is closed for a private function, who is visiting?

I'm searching for big fashion influencers like Liga Zemture who also works as a stylist, etc. Any ideas?

Hello everybody, are there any students who are also going to Riga on Spring Semester? Will you live in Dormitory or will you renting sth? Być może trafi się ktoś z Polski:)

Hello there , will be visiting soon and wanted to know if there is any tattoo studio/artist you can recommend for small hand tattoo. Is something very small and easy but as you know they can be tricky and not all are willing to do make hand tattoos so someone who is specialised or makes them often would be amazing. What is the price range in general Riga for small tattoos ? Any answers is appreciated!
