9.4/10 Exceptional! (34 reviews)
"A few blocks from main shopping center/movie theater, 15min walk to anything you want. Feels like it's located between upscale and seedy neighborhoods, but Riga feels safe overall. Coming/going is awkward in B building, so ask to be in building A. On site parking."

Cheap city to visit. It still retains some of its old medievil charm as well as some soviet feel. The food market near the city is HUGE. I want to come back and stay a few months when i retire.
