Parking

WARNING: Always check the prices of the cab, that are displayed on the passengers door. This does not apply to Baltic Taxi (or, for example, Taxify), however, a lot of third-party taxi providers may wish to charge double or triple the cost if you wish to get a taxi from Riga airport.

How to get to DevOpsDays Riga conference venue

There are multitude of ways, how you can get to the venue. The most safest/and or easiest, would be to use the taxi. We don't have Uber in Riga, however, we have the next best thing - Taxify, an application that lets you order taxis from anywhere to anywhere. Alternatively, from airport you can use also Baltic Taxi taxis, and, if you give them the secret code "DevOpsDays Riga", you'll also get 10% off from your bill.

How to get to the venue by public transport from the Riga airport

You can easily take the public transport to get to the venue. From the Riga international airport, bus no. 22 "Abrenes iela" will get you almost directly to the hotel. You can buy your ticket in advance in either an e-ticket machine, that is located in public transport stop, or in virtually any "Narvesen" kiosk. Once ticket costs 1,15 EUR. Before you go, check out directions in Google Maps.

1. Buy ticket

You can buy a ticket using either cash or debit/credit cards via the help of such machines that are located in various public transport stops.

2. Find the bus no. 22

Find the bus no. 22 "Abrenes iela" - once you get out of the airport, go straight trough the parking lot, and you should see the white/blue buses (or at least the bus stop)

3. Don't forget to scan your ticket

Remember to scan/validate your ticket. Failure to do so may result in penalty of up to 30 EUR.

"Oh no, I forgot to buy a ticket"

Don't worry! If you accidentally forget to buy your ticket, you can also buy it directly from the bus driver, but you will need to have cash, and for your forgetfulness, you will need to pay 2 EUR, instead of 1,15 EUR, what you'd normally pay.
