Group travel

Last week my friends and i went to travel Riga, Old Town. We really love the atmosphere, history, buildings and the culture. We visited the Christmas market for the first time in our lives. Even if the city was so cold we enjoyed so much.

Solo travel

While in Riga I stayed in the Blue Bird Hostel in the old city. The city felt pretty safe to walk around, although I didn't stay out very late. I really recommend the Art Nouveau neighborhood. I'm not aware of any museums since I had no time to visit one but simply walking around is very pleasant

I think it is rather save but you have to look out for your things at the center and also there are certain areas where it would be better to not walk around alone at night like the center around Origo and central market. But mostly the center is quite chill. It's obvious that you have to keep your drinks safe for them not to get spiked but it's the same in any country. I have heard stories about girls getting spiked at Riga first rockcafe but i recommend this place anyways, its the best there...

overall super safe in the city centre, never had problems at daytime. at dark avoid Purvciems, Pļavnieki, Latgale suburb and be careful around Origo train station and Avoti, Grīziņkalns farest part. the worst part here is things like catcalling, not pit pocketing.

It is pretty safe and chill around Riga. I never had bad experiences coming home late at nights. Still safe to stay far from the main train station (Origo) to avoid drunk people. But no need to worry otherwise
