Flights to Riga - Frequently Asked Questions
+ What is the best time to visit Riga ?
For comfortable sightseeing in Riga (RIX), late spring and early autumn are the most pleasant periods, especially May, June and September, when daytime temperatures are around 15–22 °C and there is plenty of daylight. July and August bring the warmest weather and the longest days, which suits beach trips and outdoor festivals but also attracts more visitors. Travelers who enjoy winter markets and a festive atmosphere can plan a stay in December, when Christmas events take place across the historic center. From December to February, temperatures frequently fall below 0 °C, so this period suits visitors prepared for short days and snowy or icy conditions rather than outdoor-focused sightseeing.
+ How far is the Riga airport from downtown?
Riga International Airport (RIX) is located about 10 km southwest of central Riga. The drive between the terminal and the Old Town area takes around 15–30 minutes by taxi, rideshare or car, depending on traffic and the exact drop-off point.
+ When is the cheapest time to fly to Riga ?
For flights from Canada to Riga (RIX), the lowest average fares concentrate in March and April, with another favorable price period in October.
