Closer than Helsinki for us

by Turska - last update: Aug 25, 2008

Nice old town,friendly people

Thanks to Ryanair it´s faster and cheaper for us to go to Riga than Helsinki,witch really is closer.we liked Riga,so we have been there allready twice-who knows,if we´ll go again.It´s so easy:we drive 25km to airport,and flighft takes 50min!
Many people say that Riga is expensive.We can´t unerstand it.Clothes are same price as in Finland,but eating,drinking and transportation are really cheap.And people really are friendly!

Riga by night

Othervice than Tallinn(where Finns go a lot),Riga feels safe at night,too.No-one seems to pay attention,when you walk in the streets,window-shopping or just to see the houses at nightlights.
