The hostel is a brief 3 minute walk from the airport bus stop, a 5 minute walk from the bus station, and an 8 minute walk from the train station. seriously..., I timed it myself! From the Airport: Take the number 22 bus (0.50LVL ticket may be purchased from the bus driver. If you have luggage, please make sure you get the ticket for the luggage as well, additional 0,80LVL). After crossing the river, get off the bus at the 11.Novembra krastmala stop. From the bus stop, cross the main street near the underpass and turn right. At this point, the main street and river will be on your right, while the Old Town buildings will be visible to the left of you. Continue walking until you see a small street called 'Peldu iela' to your left. Pass this street. The next street on your left will be 'Marstalu iela' - our street. As you continue on up the road, you should become aware of the Riga Hostel signpost after a moment or two......and voila! Welcome to Riga Hostel. From the Train Station:Once outside the main building, head towards the big clock and cross the main street by the underpass. When you find yourself outdoors once again, you will notice the Riga channel to your right. Cross the channel (as well as the tram-line behind it), continue on straight ahead until you cross the following street. (this street will have tram-lines). At this point, continue walking straight. To your left, you should notice the main street, along with Stockmann shopping centre. The buildings of old town Riga should be situated to your right. Keep walking straight ahead. Soon you should encounter Valnu street (the 1st Old town street to your right) and the underpass on your left. Continue walking straight until you come across a green square to your right. Cross the square, and turn right down the street behind the square. This is Alksnaju street. Continue on until this street comes to an end and look to your left. Yes, you've guessed it .....Welcome to Riga Hostel! From the Bus Station:On leaving the bus station, start walking towards the river Daugava. When you reach the main street, take a right and continue under the railway bridge. Cross the big street to your right and continue walking until you reach 'Marstalu iela. Now just turn right and walk for a moment or two until you come to number 12. The Riga Hostel sign should be in your vision and.......welcome home!
