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

Group travel

I felt super safe! A very walkable city, and very few tourists! I stayed in Liberty Hotel, very good place for it's price. Close to McDonalds and the old town. The cakes taste weird 🙃 didn't experince any restaurant that i liked, so just kept to supermarkets

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

The city centre that, as a tourist, you would likely to visit are very safe - Old Riga and central Riga with shops, cafes and other attractions are very safe. If you would go quite far outside, it can get a bit dangerous in some areas. But again - if you’re just visiting, it’s quite impossible that you would get there.
