Summer (June to August) in Riga brings heat and humidity without reserve. With temperatures resting in the early-20s most of the season, sunny days are supplemented almost constantly by rainy ones. The best time to book a flight to Riga is in the spring (March to May), before the humidity sets in, but while temperatures are still pleasant in the teens. Cold temperatures move in during the winter (December to February), but this is also the driest time of year so rain and snow are much less common. The fall makes for a dreary segue into winter (September to November), with plummeting temperatures to around 10 degrees and quite a bit of rain.
Riga offers many different ways to get around the city. The public transportation system is easy to figure out with plenty of bus lines and trolley routes. They run from early morning to late night. Each mode of transport has its own ticketing system. You can buy a ticket on board or at a newsstand. Catch a taxi outside almost any train station, hotel or airport or hail one on the street. Just make sure the meter is running.
Riga International Airport (RIX) is the main airport which services the city. It is 6 miles (10 km) west of the city. There are several buses and minibuses operating from the airport. Taxis and car rental are also available.
