 Riga's Top 3 Things to do

 

  
     

Things to remember!!
 

 

Leave your passports and all valuable documents
(e.g. driver’s licenses, credit cards, traveler’s cheques and flight tickets) in your hotel, preferably in a safe. Do not take them out with you if you do not need them as you may lose them to pickpockets.
Always carry your info.
Carry the name, address and telephone number of your accommodation with you.
Respect others
Do not use abusive language (many people speak or understand English in Latvia) and avoid confrontations.
Drink responsibly
Most visitors enjoy a trouble-free drink in the city centre pubs, but you should exercise caution over some of the nightclubs on offer. There have been reports of people being planted with illegal substances by door staff and then promptly being accosted. If this happens, do not pay bribe money, but insist on calling the police or the British Embassy.
Do not leave drinks unattended
As a safety precaution! There have been reported cases of drinks being spiked with illegal substances.
Be wary of strangers asking you to buy them a drink in some bars or nightclubs no matter how attractive the proposition might seem. You may get a very expensive drinks tab afterwards. If in doubt, establish the price of a drink before you hand over your money and pay for each round as you order it!
Do not buy, carry or use illegal drugs
The Latvian authorities are serious about combating illegal drugs and the penalties are high. There are no distinctions between the classes of different types of drugs, so the punishment for carrying any type of illegal substance is the same.
Only use official taxis
We can point these out to you when you book an activity with Riga Out There
Do not drop litter
Please keep Riga clean and tidy.
Stay the right side of the law and enjoy your stay!!


Estonian currency scam

When exchanging Sterling or other currencies, or getting change from vendors, clubs or taxis, please check that you are given Latvian Lats and not any other currency. On a few instances our guests have been given 10 Estonian Krone notes (worth less than a euro) instead of 10 Latvian Lats notes. 10 Latvian Lats is approximately12GBP. See the difference between the notes:

September 2007 update: Please note that some Riga barmen are also passing off Czech Crowns as 1 Lat coin
