The location was absolutely perfect as it is so close to the town square, but it was still easy for a driver to drop you off or pick you up. The bar was beautiful and relaxing, as was the sauna.

There are a few very good restaurants just around the corners from the aparthotel, better than the famed Milda Restaurant ( don’t waste your time going there).

When is the best time to go to Riga?
The best time to go to Riga is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is at its warmest and most pleasant.During this period, you can expect average temperatures ranging from 20 to 25 degrees Celsius, making it ideal for exploring the city's outdoor attractions and enjoying its many parks and open-air cafes. The days are also exceptionally long, with daylight lasting well into the evening, providing more time for sightseeing.Couples looking for a romantic getaway will find the summer particularly appealing. You can enjoy leisurely strolls through the charming Old Town, take a boat trip along the Daugava River, or relax on the beaches of Jurmala, which is just a short train ride away. Many outdoor concerts and festivals also take place during these months, adding to the city's lively option.For those who prefer a slightly quieter experience with pleasant weather, late spring (May) and early autumn (September) are also good options.
Where can I find the best nightlife in Riga?
Riga offers a varied nightlife, with options ranging from sophisticated cocktail bars to lively clubs, primarily concentrated in the Old Town and a few areas beyond.The Old Town (Vecrīga) is the primary destination for nightlife. Its narrow, cobbled streets are packed with bars, pubs, and clubs, many housed in historic buildings. You'll find a mix of venues, from those offering live music, often jazz or local bands, to dance clubs playing electronic music and commercial hits. There are also numerous cocktail lounges and traditional pubs. The area around Kaļķu iela and Mārstaļu iela is particularly dense with options.Just outside the Old Town, the area around Alberta iela and Elizabetes iela, in the Art Nouveau district, features more upscale bars and lounges. Here, the focus is often on well-crafted cocktails and a more relaxed, but still refined, atmosphere. These venues tend to be quieter and more conducive to conversation than the Old Town's busier spots.For a slightly different feel, the Miera iela (Peace Street) district offers a more bohemian selection of bars and cafes that often host small musical performances or DJ sets. It's less about large clubs and more about independent establishments with a local following.
