Went in October, cold and windy so pack layers. Museums are cozy, but don't expect beach weather until summer.
Buy the Riga Card at the visitor center, it covered trams and several museums for 24 or 72 hours and saved us time and money.
Central Market is gold for budget meals, smoked fish and rye sandwiches for under 5 euros, sit with locals for the best stalls.
Charming mix of Art Nouveau and cheap beer, Old Town at night is lively but crowded. Three days felt perfect for us.
Two days was rushed for us, four days let us wander neighborhoods, parks and the market without hurrying.
