Hello there,
me and some friends are most probably visiting Riga 2.july, from wednesday to sunday. We're goin' to the Avril Lavigne concert 2july, anyone else who has the same planes?
As told, we have 3days more to get a taste of Riga, where is the best places to go for 20year old youth, to meet other folks?
Not interested in very expensive bars, where tourist meets other tourist :P,
but places to meet other latvian youth's to see and taste other cultures =)
Is the age for drinking 18year in Riga?
Thanks for answers!
Hi! You're welcome to Riga! If you already are 18 years old, you can buy cigarettes and alcohol. If you look too young, be prepared for showing your passport.
Sorry I can't help you with information about youth meeting places. Old Riga maybe.
Have a nice time in Riga.
allright, no i'm 20, but i heard nautilius have 21years limit :/
Is it common to have 21years limit on nightclubs?
Hm, 21 years old is very uncommon. I suspect it is a kind of PR trick, which rarely followed, unless person looks like 14 years old. Some clubs can have face control, but unless someone is too drunk or too agresive they do not put any obstacles.
If you don’t have your mobile with you, but need to make a call, it is always possible to use one of the public phones, which you can find all around the city.
Some of them work by using the coins, but mostly you need a prepaid card, which is possible to buy in any food or newspaper place.
I visited at the end of October and it did get very cold. Most nights the temperature was below freezing.
Take lots of warm clothes and wrap up well in layers.
Don't worry, everyone (even the locals) do the same and there are plenty of places in bars adn restaurants to leave all your bulky coats etc.
Take a stroll around the Central Market, which is one of the largest in Europe. The indoor part of the market takes place in 5 enormous zeppelin hangars which were built in the 1930s.
Vegetables, fruits, meat, dairy products, flowers and much more is provided freshly at the countless market stalls. The Central Market is situated close to the railway station and the main bus station.
Idalgo is a small and friendly, easily missed Spanish bar in a brick walled cellar in the old town. They serve wines and cocktails allthough the wine list wasn't as good as inyourpocket.com let us believe. Nonetheless this is a nice place for a quiet drink with very affordable prices.
Comin' from the airport for the first time and what to do for transportation ?
You can take the bus, no:22 to the city,
it cost you 20 cents, very cheap, but takes
about half an hour. Not handy with luggage.
You also can take a taxi, it'll bring you in about 10 minutes to the center of Riga and
cost you about 7 lat. That's 11 euro or $ 14.00
Prices are not allways the same, but you
should not pay more then 10 lat.
So take care and go !
