Advantages: Cheap, friendly place to visit, interesting architecture. Disadvantages: Might not last too long in its current state. Freezing cold in winter.
Latvia is not somewhere that would immediately spring to mind when deciding on a city break, but when we researched a possible weekend away for between four and six people (all male) within our budget (£200), there was no clear cut winner. Riga, Berlin, Prague and Barcelona were all able to offer a flight/hotel combination for within that. Riga was decided on by vote, purely for the reason that it was only really opening up as a destination and had that 'kudos' factor that all new things seem to have.
Most of our group flew out of Dublin with Ryanair, though there are other routes available from England and one of our party flew with Ryanair out of Stansted. Flights will obviously vary in price, depending on who you're flying with, when you're flying and how far in advance you book. Booking tickets with Ryanair at Christmas for an end ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Riga (Latvia)
We stayed here at the Albert for 3 nights at the end of Feb.
We flew with Air Baltic for £41.70 each including tax!
My daughter and I arrived late at night at the Albert ....they had granted my request for a high,non smoking, room with a view of Old Town!
We could see all the tops of the steeples across Riga and the Art Nouveau style buildings.
We were exceptionally pleased with our room.
Alot of bright lighting available in the rooms but with low lights for night..very cosy.
It was meticulously clean with very comfy beds and crisp sheets.
They had fabulous under floor heating in the bathroom too.
The shower was the best power shower I've ever used!
The maid service was great....they even folded my daughters pyjamas and put under her pillow each day!
Infact the cleaners were always cleaning the hotel foyer entrance ...
Advantages: Great drum build. Disadvantages: Will need extra spending on it in order to get it up to scratch.
disgusting sounds resembling baked bean cans being hit. The Pearl Forum I feel is infinitely better than other starter kits on the market and looks fairly smart with it's black coating. Although I say black coating as this is the colour of mine, the Pearl Forum comes in a number of other colours including Deep Blue, Charcoal, and Red Wine.
For £500 your money will provide you with:
- 22x18 bass drum
- 12x9 & 13x10 mounted toms
- 16x16 floor tom
- 14x5.5 wood snare drum
- 14" hi-hats
18" Pearl Crash/Ride cymbal
The build quality of the drums themselves is great and they still look as strong now as they did back when I bought them a few years back. Although the build quality of the drums themselves is good, you will find that the Pearl drum skins you are provided with aren't particularly great and so you may find that the heads ...
The hotel is located in The Old Town, at a walking distant from major cultural and historical sights, shopping area and official institutions as well as the railway station and the bus station.
