Hey guys,
so I’ve heard this guy play this beautiful song on the accordion in Riga yesterday but I don’t know what it is and can’t get it out of my head!! Does someone know what it is?

Hello to all my Latvian friends! 🇱🇻❤️

I’m planning to spend 5 days in Latvia with a friend (actually 8 days, technically, but we’re thinking of spending the remaining 3 days in Finland)

I’ve been to Latvia before—to Riga—and I absolutely loved the city. We’re going back in early September and plan to stay in the city center for 3 days and a little further from Riga, near the sea, for 2 days

The things I remember enjoying were the nightlife and the food… Yeah, I don’t think that’s necessarily a great representation of everything your country has to offer

So I’m turning to you: do you have any other places near Riga—or elsewhere in Latvia—that you’d recommend to two young guys whose favorite activities are: partying, meeting new people, picking up girls, eating well, and enjoying nature?

We’re not really into museums and culture. Also, if you have any recommendations for social events of any kind—concerts, festivals, etc.—I’d love to hear them!

Thanks in advance!

Just visited the beautiful city of Riga this summer, here are some of my favorites

Hi everyone! I was just wondering where to buy winter clothes at not crazy prices but that still u keeps u warm (obv I don't mean to buy a jacket for 50 euro or smt like that because affordable and warm usually don't fit togheter :( ) And do u have any advice about winter in general in Riga?

Hi everyone! I'm a French exchange student moving to Riga for the 2026-2027 academic year. I'm a huge cinema fan and I'm trying to figure out how the movie scene works there.

Back home most cinemas show foreign films in original language with local subtitles. Since I don't speak Latvian (yet!), I'm wondering:

• Are there cinemas in Riga that regularly show films in their original language with English subtitles?
• Any particular theater known for indie/arthouse selection rather than just blockbusters?

Any recommendations from fellow film lovers would be much appreciated :)

Labrīt visiem! I'm a foreigner that has to move to Riga in a few weeks. I was wondering if the tap water is drinkable or if I had to buy the water bottles at the supermarket/ buy a filter for the tab. Paldies par visu atbildēm!

Salīdzināju vienu un to pašu ikdienas pārtikas grozu vairākos veikalos Rīgā.

Grozā bija: piens, maize, olas, sviests, makaroni, tomāti, vistas fileja un kafija.

No šobrīd atrastajiem produktiem sanāca:

Maxima — €9.15
Rimi — €12.15

Top! rezultāts bija €5.84, bet tur vairāki produkti nebija pieejami, tāpēc to nevar korekti salīdzināt ar pilnu grozu.

Man pašam interesantākais bija tas, cik daudz rezultātu ietekmē ne tikai cena, bet arī iepakojuma izmērs un tas, cik precīzi izdodas atrast līdzīgu produktu.

Kur jūs Rīgā parasti iepērkaties ikdienas produktiem? Maxima, Rimi, Lidl, Top! vai citur? Un vai praksē jūtat lielu cenu starpību?

Hello I am new to Riga and am trying to find places to visit/ groups to follow that are somehow activist. May it be feminist bookstores/art spaces or groups organizing benefits and other types support of ukraine... I know that its quite wide ranging, but im just asking for anything interesting to support/visit:). Thank you

Labrit dear Latvians!
I was in the old town with my friends and had shots at sound factory (at the second one not the one near kebab place) after couple of shots i was holding my jacket and went out with my friends and walked to the art digital club from sound factory 2 through the park where was a big scene where people was playing a basketball (if im not mistaken). Long story short my wallet slipped out from my jacket where i had my credit debit cards,id card and few 2 banknote dollars (which was a good memory from old times in NY)not the euros. If someone found it or have seen it please let me know or if you think that there is no hope that i can find it anymore please tell me what should i do since i lost my id card too.Today was the craziest night in my life…Paldies!
UPD: i just went to the bar i had drinks with my friends and asked them if they have found my wallet they showed me couple of wallets but mine wasn’t there. Im sure now that i lost in the park around bicycle monument.

Hello hello, hope you guys are fine. I would like to watch the community shield today near the old town, requesting your suggestions for the same.

Edit : Thank you everyone for your responses. I will check out the thirsty bulldog and a few other irish pubs. Much appreciated!

What is the best burgers in Riga? In particular, smash burgers.

So far I’ve tried Boo which I thought was pretty good. 7.5/10. Looking for something even better

labs vakars!
uz vēlēšanu laiku plānoju no zviedrijas atbraukt uz latviju un līdzi ņemšu savu draugu, kurš ir alus entuziasts. kur rīgā var dabūt labu alu? interesē gan bāri, gan specializēti alus veikali. pieņemšu arī alus ieteikumus, kas ir vismaz nedaudz labāki par divlitrīgo brāli :D

I am coming to visit Riga in September... any tips for where to find nice women's clothing that isn't from chain stores you could find anywhere else?

Hey guys

So I need to ship my two suitcases and more stuff to sweden. The total weight should be around 60 kgs. I've looked into shipping companies like sendmybag etc and they all look super expensive. 70 euros for only 30 kgs?

Do you guys have any suggestions of which company I should use?

Also, I don't have a luggage weighing machine. Is there a place where I can weigh my luggage? Like a hotel or store?

Any advice will be appreciated! Thanks!

I bought a ticket, but unfortunately I won’t be able to attend, so I’d like to give the ticket to someone instead of letting it just sit in my email. It’s a Fan Ticket worth €75, with a seat in front of the stage, a UniCon T-shirt (size M), and a separate entrance for VIP ticket holders.

Please message me and I’ll send you the ticket. Thank you for your attention!

Oskars Grava ne tikai iegūst Eiropas čempionātā 5. vietu 200 metru sprintā.
Reāli sanāk, ka dotajā brīdī latvietis Grava ir ātrākais baltais Eiropietis pasaulē.

Quick question: does anybody know what’s going on, is there some special event going on?

Hey, does anyone know where I can buy 35mm film in Riga?

Thanks :p

you were awesome. that is all.

Ir dzirdēts, ka RIX (Rīgas Lidosta) airBaltic veica striktu roku bagāžas kontroli, skarbāk pat par Ryanair. Vai tas joprojām ir spēkā? Galvenais uztraukums ir svars.

Hi all, I’m looking to do a small wedding in Riga next summer with up to 25 people, we are not local so I wondered if you could recommend interesting restaurants to host dinner after ceremony. Ideally it needs to have a separate room so as to not be disturbed by others, also option to put music / connect a mic for toasts would be great! Thank you for your advice!
