Tips For Travelers

Just like any other big city in Europe there are some dos and don'ts in Riga as well. For most of the time you can get by on common sense. Be wary of taxies who may try to charge too much. The best thing is to make sure that the meter is running and check the price per kilometer usually written on the door of the cab.

Watching naked young women is exciting and Riga has plenty of beauties on display in many clubs. These places are no strangers to tourists and there are plenty of traps involved. Always double check prices in the menus and never under any circumstances should you allow a girl to order her own drink on your bill without your consent. This is an easy way for a club to rack up your tab to astronomical heights and visitors of strip clubs have been held at knife point when they have received bills up in the thousands of lats and voiced complaints.

There are public restrooms available in Riga. Relieving yourself on the tall Freedom Monument is not a good idea.
