A VARIETY OF FLAVOURS FOR EVERYONE

COMPARISON WITH THE REGION

Riga offers vivid and contrasting tourism infrastructure. Its small boutique concept hotels are located next to modern and contemporary larger hotels. Riga is home to the largest hotel in the Baltics – Radisson Blu Latvia with 571 guest rooms. Riga’s city restaurants offer modern Latvian cuisine to surprise and satisfy the most demanding gourmet eaters. Riga for meetings and event planners is like a chocolate shop – there is a variety of flavours for everyone. Various museums and exhibition halls, alongside a great meeting offer, render the city a must-visit for classical music and opera lovers. There are numerous parks and gardens in the city centre, and visitors can even meet beavers in the canal in the city.

*ACI Europe Airport Connectivity (higher is better) is based on the SEO NetScan connectivity model, which measures airport connectivity in a more comprehensive way. It measures the number and quality of direct/non-stop connections as well as indirect connections via other airports. The NetScan model brings the most relevant connection components of every single market (frequency, travel time, connecting time) together into a single indicator: the Airport Connectivity Index.
