The flight Riga-Kiev is also short (1.20 min.), but the cabin is completely packed, I heard about overbooking out of the corner of my ear. I still don't understand why there's such a fuss. I asked the stewardess, she says they also arrived in Riga on a half-empty flight, and everything was packed back. Perhaps people are flying in transit through Kiev somewhere.
It is convenient and inexpensive to get from the airport to the old center by bus number 22. You need to get off immediately after the bridge over the Daugava. By the way, the views are excellent from this bridge to the old Riga. I recommend walking along it.

Riga turned out to be a very beautiful romantic city. I did not expect such an old-European gloss at all.
I didn't take a lot of bad pictures with my phone. I just wanted to walk and enjoy the beauty of ancient architecture and a pleasant atmosphere, without bothering with pictures.
- city channel
- on such a nice boat you can swim along the canal
- Riga blooming
- delicious tea in one of the cafes in the center
- baked vegetables with cheese - I did not like it. No cheese, stretches like chewing gum, vegetables are not bad, but without spices. Somehow I'm not very good at it. I'll cook this better at home. I don't remember the name of this cafe. The cheaper Lido was much tastier.
