 Bus stop sign by Dabs
Tickets can be purchased at the ticket window or on the bus, if you are not sure exactly where you are going, it's not a bad idea to use the ticket window. It's also helpful if you have exact change or smaller bills.
Buses are extremely cheap and seemed to be always on time, the most we paid was 1.2 lv.
When you are catching a return bus, make sure you are standing at a sign looking like the one in the attached picture.
We got in later in the evening a couple of times and didn't feel unsafe in the area around the bus station or walking back to our hotel. As always though, keep your valuables somewhere safe. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 Riga's trams inside by LanaFromRiga
You can buy ticket inside of the first tram's vagon. It will cost 0,50 LVL. Tickets sells tram driver. The best way for tickets buying - is in Narvessen or Rimi shop. You can buy many tickets and use them when necessary. Don't forget to put ticket in speciall yellow box inside each wagon.
List of trams you will see lower. Leave a Comment

Longer haul bus tickets are sold at the Eurolines office although I think I saw a few people buying on the bus. It's probably best to reserve ahead in the summer months if you can.
The fare from Riga to Vilnius was 7 lv, 14 lv round trip. No extra charge for luggage.
The buses were reasonably comfortable and the bus made one stop in each direction for a bathroom/snack break. The entire journey was around 4 1/2 hours.
The bus goes through passport control and a guard comes on board. US passports are stamped so they do take them from you. Leave a Comment

Normally we try to use public transportation but we were coming in late so we arranged through our hotel for a taxi (I think it was actually staff of the hotel) for 8 lv. It was nice after a long day of traveling to have a car waiting for you.
The taxi ride to the airport was quick, around 20 minutes. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

The train station consists of two halls: the big one for international trains and the small hall for local trains.
The bus terminal sits just a few hundred metres from the train station and adjacent to the central market, which is big enough!
The ferry terminal and the yacht harbour lie north of the old town. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
