Riga → Riga Old Town: key facts

Riga Old Town from Riga Airport (RIX) by private transfer: €35 per car (1–3 people) or €50 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 20 km via P132, roughly 25 min when traffic is light and 25–35 min when it is not.

Meeting point: The driver waits in the Arrivals Hall (sector E) of the passenger terminal, after baggage reclaim and the customs exit, holding a sign with your name. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.

Old Riga (Vecrīga) is the medieval core of the city on the right bank of the Daugava, about 10 km from the airport. From the terminal the road follows Kārlis Ulmanis Avenue through Pārdaugava and crosses the river, with the Stone Bridge (Akmens tilts) leading straight to the southern edge of the Old Town. No tolls apply. Traffic on the bridges and along the riverside embankment, 11. novembra krastmala, is heavy at weekday peak hours and during large events in the city.

The Old Town is a compact maze of cobbled lanes around Town Hall Square, home to the House of the Blackheads, Dome Square with Riga Cathedral, St. Peter's Church and Livu laukums, with Riga Castle at its northern end. Vehicle access to most of Vecrīga is restricted, so drop-offs are made at hotels where entry is permitted or on the streets around the edge of the quarter, such as the embankment or the boulevards near the Freedom Monument. Almost every sight in the Old Town is within a ten-minute walk of the others.

Public transport instead: Rīgas satiksme bus 22 from Riga Airport, bus stop in front of the passenger terminal to Grēcinieku iela (next to the Old Town) and Autoosta (Riga International Coach Terminal) — about 40 min, daily from early morning until about 00:40; night bus N22 runs hourly after the regular service ends.
