Cost of Riga — FAQ
Plan on €42–€79 per adult per day for food, local transport and attractions. Accommodation and intercity flights are extra.

No — deliberately. Stays vary hugely by season and booking window, so they are compared separately on the hotel search, and flights on the flight search. Everything else you will swipe or tap for is counted here.
Restaurants: 5-10% if not included. Service is often already included; a small tip for good service is a courtesy, not expected.
