Holiday rentals in Riga, Latvia

Riga is a great city for people who love to party and is home to a lively nightlife and clubbing scene. Most of the best bars, pubs, and nightclubs are located in the central district and for people looking for holiday rentals in Riga, it makes a lot of sense to look here. The great thing about downtown Riga is that it is very compact and most venues are within walking distance of each other. A notable exception, however, is Piens. This popular club is not difficult to get to and is located just a few blocks to the north-east from the central district at Aristida Briana Iela 9a-2. Another venue that is very popular with locals, is One One, in the very centre of Miera Iela, reputed to be the “hippest district in Latvia”. This surprising space is located inside a UNESCO-listed factory building and its interior contrasts quite unexpectedly with its exterior. Overall, travellers looking to spend their time in Riga partying, should look for rental options close to the city centre, which is definitely where most of the action is. A good centrally located property is Apartamenti Twin Owls, a fully furnished apartment accommodating up to eight people right in the heart of Riga.

Riga is a good city for families, as it is quite compact and offers a lot to see and do in quite a concentrated space. Most of the attractions are in and around the city’s central district and can be reached on foot with attractions further afield mostly accessible with public transport, so families considering holiday rentals in Riga should definitely keep an eye on options in, or close to, the central district. For example, a property in the centre that would suit many families is the Old Riga Dome Square Apartment. Some attractions that will appeal to families are the Laima Chocolate Museum (Sokolades Muzejs) in Miera Iela in the central district, and the Riga Zoo in the Mezaparks district, which is easily accessible from the city centre by bus and light rail. The Riga Central Market is another attraction that will appeal to families who enjoy gastronomy and trying a huge range of treats and delicacies available, which is a fun activity for foodies of all ages.

Holiday rentals in Riga have the advantage of letting you get a better feel for the city by living more like a local. You also have the convenience of setting up your own home-away-from-home. Another clear advantage is the opportunity for self-catering.

The main supermarket chains are Rimi and Maxima, and there are several outlets conveniently located throughout the city. Riga holiday rentals can also be surprisingly affordable.
