If you are heading to Latvia there are a few things you should know before you head to this forested land. The captial Riga is chock full of great architecture and some neat churches. The occupation museum is probably the most important museum to visit in the capital. Getting around the country is easist by bus. The Euro is the currency of Latvia. And you have forests in the interior and some nice beaches on the coasts to enjoy.

Few tips from local. The best way to explore Latvia is by car. Buses and trains can take you only to bigger cities. If you want to see something outside cities, like our beautiful nature parks (Ķemeri Moorland footbridge or Cena Moorland foothpath (which I highly recomend)), you need a car. Also you can't get to Rundale Palace, which is considered Latvian Versailles, by public transportation. And there are many more such places. Latvia has a lot of beautiful places to offer. Unfortunately people visit mainly Riga. About safety - I would dissagree. Riga is safe. I and my friends love to explore weird places, so we have walked in different areas of Riga, which could be considered dangerous, and never had a single problem. Noone really cares about you. Even drunk people. I have walked alone from Oldtown at night and never had a problem. So I am happy to live in a safe city.

All the garden houses are destroyed, because that region is being developed. Also, we used to walk around Riga and just randomly discover some places, so I don't know specific addresses. Sometimes we just walk in some open gates of housing blocks. There are some interesting yards and unique "worlds" behind Art Nouveau facades.

As a Rigan I would disagree that Tallinn or Vilnius are better than Riga, the only problem with Riga is that it has made less effort in advertising itself and thought about how to attract tourists, also problems with infrastructure due to incompetent city management. Otherwise Riga has a lot more of great historical architecture than both of those cities. Sadly that also means that it costs a lot of money to renovate all those buildings and because of that a number of them are in bad shape. Admittedly though, if we compare only the old towns yes, Riga probably loses out as our one is not as big or authentic as in Tallinn or Vilnius, but the early 20th century part, the center area is unrivaled in the Baltics.

In terms of taxi, DO NOT GET INTO TAXI’s at the Airport, they will charge you up to 70euro for a 15 min trip to the centre. It is cheaper to use Yandex Taxi, or Bolt. These are apps equivalent to Uber/Lyft. A trip to the city centre wouldn’t cost any more than 15euro. I suggest downloading these apps as they will save you lots of money. Their prices are very cheap, you can see the exact price you will pay when you book the taxi. Bolt only accepts card prepayments but Yandex Taxi also uses cash.

they are now trying to crack down on the taxi mafia in the airport, sadly it took such a long time but perhaps things may change... But if you really need to catch a cab in the airport, take green ''Baltic Taxi'' or Red-White ones called ''Red Cab''. They will charge you a bit under 15 euros to get to the center, with a Bolt or Yandex Taxi app it will be even cheaper, but that's just in case you need a taxi and do not want to bother with the app. They are usually in the second row of taxes though, for some reason extortionists are right next the doors, so go past them...

if you come to Latvia - rent a car - 25-30 euros a day is well worth the mobility freedom you get . Trains are nonexistant , bussies also not the best option , and country is small enough to be travaled by car in 4 - 6 days . This is especially true if you travel in packs of 3 or more .

Some of the findings we had after some days in Latvia: In Riga people should be aware of the very uneven stairs in the undercrossings and the cobblestone streets in the old town. Moreover when you sit on a terrace and enjoy a cake or meal be aware that the pigeons, sparrows, seagulls... can be very annoying and even jump on the table to steal your food. But overall Riga and Jurmala are great places for a long weekend in the summer.

The city will have speed cameras all over the place. Also, make sure you have GPS and find a parking spot before you drive out there. If you like alcohol, Latvia is the cheapest. There's a reason the Finnish go to Estonia for alcohol, and Estonians go to Latvia for alcohol!!!

Is the T silent in Latvia? Or I'm just not hearing you correctly. If that how it is pronounced in Latvian language than it should be on the 10 things that will shock you when visiting Latvia Thanks

Apparently Rick was difficult to spell at that time; thank you for getting it. Couldn't you get time on the PBS? Isn't that the point of public broadcasting? You already have enough footage to do 23-25 minute shows. It's probably safe to say that most of us would agree it wouldn't hurt... Rick has a brick and mortar travel agency now, and (although Rick is the sole reason for my travel bug) you offer a different family oriented spin on the same old travel shows (Rick, if you ever see this I still love you).

a tip on how to act with the locals Latvians are very blunt but also sincere if you act like an ass, they'll tell you if they say that they like you you know they mean it from the bottom of their heart and they expect the same from you don't be afraid to say as is cuz latvians really dislike people who ''act nice''
