How much an air trip to Latvia and Riga costs? These days sometimes nothing, literally. The cheap airlines like Ryanair and Easyjet provide flight from most of the European cities to Riga for just couple of Euros. Well, it depends of current offer and discount levels, but if you try to keep up with latest information, you might get lucky and buy a ticket from London to Riga for only 10 or even 1 Pound!
One of the biggest events this summer is the international music festival “New Wave” in Latvia, Jurmala, July 23 - 28, 2008. Lots of media following now this event, many stars and gossip people have arrived to Jurmala, and this week is going to be a hot one for this beautiful tourist town next to Baltic Sea.

In bars and restaurants pint of beer costs about 2 Lats. That is about 2 British pounds or 3 Euros, or 4 US dollars. Note, that drinks in cities/villages outside Riga cost less! If going to rural areas, where there’s only two shops and one pub in town, cheap drinks paradise guaranteed. Don’t say I didn’t warn you..
Shop:
If you buy beer in 0.5L bottles in shop planning to get monkey-face-drunk at home party, this will cost you cheaper. Price for bottle of beer (light or dark) is around 0.50 Lats, that is 0.50 GBP, or almost 1 Euro, or a bit more than one dollar.
Short video clip from my visit to one of many interesting seaside towns - Tuja. It is about 70km to North from Riga. See location of Tuja on Google maps. And also check out my images from Tuja on Panoramio Latvia picture set (where every image is shown on map).
