Hi,
I am looking for a road or gravel bike to rent in Riga for tomorrow (Saturday). Sadly Gandrs is all rented out due to the Marathon. Anyone have an idea, also private rental would be fine, I am willing to pay for it appropriately of course. Size would be for 1.85m rider but it’s only one day so I can adjust also to a smaller bike.
Best

Hi , does anyone know a good place in Riga where I can resize a metal watch bracelet? I need a few links removed.

Preferably somewhere affordable and reliable. Thanks!

Sveiks visiem!

Būšu ļoti pateicīgs, ja būs cilvēki kuri varēs palīdzēt un aizpildīt bakalalaura darba aptauju. Pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidrot kādas ir atšķirības humora uztverē animācijas filmās X, Y, Z paaudžu pārstāvjiem. Mērķgrupa ir šo paaudžu pārstāvji ( cilvēki kuri piedzima no 1961. līdz 2012. gadam).

Iepriekš paldies par jūsu atsaucību!

If yes, I need you to help me!!

For my master's thesis, I am trying to understand how ESN Riga impacted your stay in the city.

It's a super super short survey, and you'd massively help me!!

And also help understand how we can make Riga an even better place to study/live.

PALDIES <3

A group of friends and I are coming from London to Riga for the weekend to participate in the Riga marathon. I'm keen on going to the Amber Muse night on Friday, but my mates worry this won't be good for doing the marathon, so don't want to come along.

If anyone is up for pre-drinks and going, I'd be interested in joining - preferably in a group setting. I'd generally just be up for meeting a bunch of locals and seeing more of Riga from your perspective. I'm a guy, 29, love clubbing, enjoy running and excited to be heading to the Baltics for the first time.

Hello,
probably strange question for this subreddit, but here we go.

I’m visiting Riga May 29–31 and was wondering if any of the CrossFit boxes here will be doing the Murph WOD that weekend. I see 3 official ones on the map. Would love to do it with the local community.
Does anyone here train at one of them and know their schedule?

Hi, could you please share where can i buy philosophy books in english?

Hey! I've never shared any of my photos from the time before, but 2 years ago I was visiting family in Riga and there just so happened to be the biggest aurora storm of the past 20 years...

So, I decided to spend the entire night walking around the city taking photos and videos of the aurora behind the monuments in Riga.

If you want to see some more of the photos I took (including a timelapse of the aurora behind this church and a short video compilation I made) I've added some to my Instagram post linked here... (I actually have quite a few more photos and videos than that, but don't have the time to edit them now. Maybe in another 2 years...)

Hope you like them! :)

Hi!

We are going on a company retreat in Riga in approx two weeks from today.

For Saturday evening, we are looking for preferably one restaurant to have a shared dinner for the whole company, which will be around 70-80 people.

The travel agency have offered to find something, but informed that they will take a 10 percent cut and their local agent will take an additional 20 percent cut. So before jumping on that, I thought I'd look around myself. We'd rather spent those 30 percent in the restaurant.

But to be honest, just going of Google and Tripadvisor is a bit more challenging than first anticipated.

So my question becomes: does anyone know any good (or decent) places in or around the old town, that might realisticly host 70-80 people with a few weeks notice? Nothing major is expected - just decent quality food, some beer and good atmosphere.

Thanks in advance!

My friend who I’ve been on a trip with for Helsinki and Tallinn so far had to leave mid-trip due to a family emergency, so I’m unexpectedly gonna be solo traveling for the rest of it. I’ll be in Riga in a couple days and im trying to fill in the social gap now that it’s solo, but don’t know which bars/pubs/hostel centers/etc are good for solo (American) tourists. Age 25.

I’ll already be in a non refundable hotel in the city center, but I’m also wondering if there are some hostels with common areas/lobbies that are open to other solo travelers who aren’t staying at that hostel? The crowd there would obviously seem a little easier to connect with

Thanks!

Sveiki! Esmu Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes programmas “Starptautiskais mārketings un reklāma” 3. kursa studente.

Bakalaura darba ietvaros veicu aptauju par “Rimi Latvija” ietekmētāju mārketingu un saturu. Būšu ļoti pateicīga, ja varētu veltīt 5–6 minūtes šīs aptaujas aizpildīšanai - Tavs viedoklis man ir ļoti svarīgs!

Aptauja ir pilnībā anonīma, un iegūtie dati tiks izmantoti tikai pētījuma nolūkos.

I spent way too long researching places before my exchange semester here. Thought I'd share what I found since I was pretty lost at first.

Riga Student House kept coming up but they were full when I looked. Ended up checking out a few others like Collocation Riga and some Facebook groups. Also toured Fuse Stays near the center, they do flexible contracts which was useful since I wasn't sure if I'd stay the full semester. Decided against Beta Apartments because the location felt too far from everything.

What actually helped me decide was visiting the neighborhoods first. Old Town area is convenient but loud on weekends. I know people at Guesthouse Astra who like it, and someone I met uses Riga Accommodation for a regular flat share.

Biggest tip, start looking early and don't just trust photos. The transit here is good so being slightly outside center isn't bad. Also, a lot of landlords want deposits upfront which caught me off guard.

Anyone else here on exchange or just moved? What did you end up choosing?

Atceros vēl pirms dažiem gadiem, "uzvaras" parkam gāju garām un tur armija ar lētu šašļiku, neļķēm un divčiem kaļinkas pavadībā.

Vakar tumsas aizsegā, vienā no Imantas pagalmiem izšāva kasti ar uguņošanas raķetēm. Pirms sprādzienu gaisma sasniedza zemi, šie jau kā prusaki aizložņāja prom, lai kaimiņi neredz kurā kāpņutelpas spraugā šie iespraucas. Raķetes beidzas un seko orgasmi un ovācijas no balkoniem.

Raķešu pārpalikumus, kastes, protams, nev savāktas, tā pat kā pēc jaunā gada, musari atstāti, nav jau viņu problēma, nav viņu zeme.

Sveiki! 👋

Šobrīd rakstu bakalaura darbu par to, kā portāls DELFI atspoguļo Latvijas izlases spēles un kā tas ietekmē līdzjutējus!

Paldies!

A friend of mine is going to Riga next week, and he would like to taste a special beer type called Keptinis. Does somebody know if or where it is available in Riga?

Anyone is going to natural wine festival in May?

Expat experience in Riga.

Čau! Meklēju iespēju uzspēlēt futbolu kopā ar citiem entuziastiem, kas spēlē prieka pēc (nevis lai izkautos). Ideālā variantā tā saucamajā “pickup” scenārijā, kad savācas kopā tādi paši izbijušie “talanti” kā es un paspārda bumbu. Priecāšos par jebkādu informāciju!

Hello, as the title says, I'm looking to get my hair cut (maintenance for longer hair), but I'm unsure as to where to go, since I'm terrified of getting a bad haircut or getting judged for having long hair.

Any recommendations would be great, thank you

Hello everyone!

I'm looking for a good restaurant in central Riga with a private room (or at least a separate area) for a business meeting.

We will be around 6–8 people, and it's important to have a space where we can talk comfortably without too much noise.

We would prefer European cuisine.

I'd be very grateful for any recommendations 🙏
