Visitor Tips: Travel and Accommodation in Riga
- The opera house sits centrally in the old town and is an easy walk from most hotels
- Popular premieres and the gala concert are worth booking early since they tend to sell out
- June usually brings mild to warm weather to Riga, though a light jacket for cooler evenings is still a good idea
- Many visitors dress somewhat more formally for the opera, so smart attire is common
- Old town accommodation should be booked well ahead during the festival weeks
