Riga, Latvia, getting a taxi?

[crackdnbroken]

Hi. Is anyone here familiar with Riga, Latvia? I will be attending an event at a location about 20 minutes car ride from the airport. Is it easy to get a taxi from and to the airport? Are prices reasonable? Anything to be wary of?

It doesn't seem to be an Uber area.

I went there regularly for work until last year and always used Bolt, it's similar to Uber, reliable and reasonably cheap

Bolt is ridiculously cheap, easy, punctual and quick. Went a few weeks ago.

Good to know, thanks!

Nothing to do with taxis but be aware there's lots of cobblestones in the town centre so flat shoes or trainers advisable
Saw a lady trip and break her ankle there last year

I would definitely recommend Bolt otherwise the green taxis at the airport will charge extortionate rates. We were shocked recently how much they were charging even Latvian speakers so we got the bus. Maybe get the bus back to the airport on your return as it’s cheap and fairly quick.
