January and February offer the lowest fares and the fewest tourists — cold, yes, but the city is yours. June through August is peak season, driven by the Jāņi midsummer festival and long Baltic evenings. Book summer at least 10 weeks out; winter deals can appear within a fortnight of departure.

Singapore Travel Agent LicenceTA04059Riga rewards the traveller who books early for summer and late for winter. Fares from London or Berlin can be startlingly low in January, and the city's Art Nouveau streets look magnificent under snow. Summer brings festivals and long golden evenings but also the sharpest price spikes. It suits the curious city-breaker who wants Europe's history without the selfie-stick crowds — and who doesn't mind cold.
A Numbeo cost-of-living index of 54.9 tells you what the snapshot doesn't: this is one of the cheapest capitals left in the EU, with a backpacker daily budget around €38. Schengen rules make entry simple for EU, UK, US, Canadian and Australian passports alike, no visa faff for stays up to 90 days. RIX itself is a single, compact terminal, fast through security, though don't expect much beyond the gate in the way of shops or food. Fares from Berlin run as low as $70 for a 2h 10m hop, which, paired with those Art Nouveau streets, makes Riga feel like a secret that Stockholm and Berlin haven't cottoned on to yet.
