Car Hire in Riga City - Mini guide to Riga City

The city of Riga is the capital and arguably the most popular travel destination in latvia. As the largest city in the country, it also serves as the cultural, commercial and industrial hub in the Baltics and one of the most important seaports. But what makes the city attract a huge crowd of tourists every year is its interesting attractions.

Cars are not allowed in the old historical centre but you will need to arrange a car hire in Riga to get around outside the city centre. There are several districts in the city but the Old Town is probably its most popular attraction. The historical centre is included in UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. A drive around the city gives you a chance to explore the notable German Art Nouveau architecture for which Riga is known for.

After exploring the Old Town, venture out to other areas using a car rental in Riga and make a stop at the Occupation Museum to find out more about the history of the country. From there, tourists usually make a stop at the TV tower that stands on three legs. The 368 metre structure features an observation deck at 97 metres. St. Peters Church also has a tower that provides a viewing platform for those who want another view of the entire city.

Further outside the city, travelers usually take their cheap car hire in Riga out to the city of Liepaja to the west. The city is said to be the capital of culture and music in the country and is less crowded than other tourist destinations.

Riga International Airport serves as the main gateway to the city. It provides several regular flights to various European cities as well as to New York City. The airport is connected to the city centre via bus networks that go through the terminal.
