Соотечественники! Будьте бдительны! Compatriots! Be carefull!

I hope my review will help those who are going to Riga for the New Year! Hotel Riga is located very conveniently. In the city center, 25 minutes by taxi from the airport. Normal breakfasts. In winter the rooms are VERY COLD. In all woolen under the blanket and bedspread - dubak! In small restaurants in Riga, the main business is THEFT. Be careful if you dine alone or together! Do not have extra money and cards with you! They add sleeping pills and rob! Do not think that if you are a woman, then this does not threaten you! Beware! Respectable well-dressed people come up, divert attention, add sleep, rob! Restaurants are involved, as money is withdrawn from cards through their terminal. The police said that tourists do not agree to come to investigative events, so it is difficult to punish thieves. Protect yourself! Don't let thieves get rich at your expense! Don't wear good shoes! Slurry and porridge leaves indestructible traces! You can eat, on average, for 40 euros per person (salad, main course drink). To be honest, I thought it was cheaper. Do not eat exotic foods (such as hare or deer). Latvians are not Finns, they don't know how to cook them. Treat yourself to walking along the restored streets of old Riga, but don't relax! Latvia does not guarantee the safety of your money! Do not let yourself be robbed!
