Where to Stay in Riga

Historic heart of Riga with cobbled lanes, Gothic church spires, lively squares and many bars, restaurants and boutique hotels. Most atmospheric but also the most touristy and noisy at night.

Early 20th-century streets with some of Europe’s best Art Nouveau facades, especially around Alberta iela and Elizabetes iela. Mix of residential buildings, offices and cafes within walking distance of Old Town.

Leafy, more local area across the river with wooden houses, markets and cafes. Feels residential and relaxed while still being a short tram ride from the centre.

New business and residential district focused on tech and modern offices, home to Teikums coworking and several Rocket Bean cafes. Well connected by public transport with newer housing stock.
