Stefan from Amsterdam, Netherlands loves to see the hotels and prices on a map

I love to see the available hotels on the map. I move and zoom the map a lot. It's so easy to filter out the hotels that are too far from my preferred location. I also like seeing the hotel prices at a glance on the map markers.

This hotel booking tool has saved me both a lot of time and money.

Anna from St. Petersburg, Russia thinks the budget tools and prices are great

Thanks for a cool new way of booking hotels! On our family trips, we are used to filter the hotels based on our budget. Now we can quickly see the hotels that offer the best deals and that are conveniently located close by the most interesting sights.

The prices on TripSay are always great.

Juan from Barcelona, Spain recommends this site to travelers who know what they want

I found a hotel quickly using the advanced filters. Booking the hotel was easy and straight-forward.

I require a wi-fi, non-smoking room and location near the airport or main railway station. Finally it's easy to find a hotel that suits me. I recommend this tool to other travelers as well.

arroz from Finland wrote about Rīga

In Riga there's no need to even think about getting a cab. The place may seem huge, but the city center (both old and new) is actually quite compact. Rather take a tram and head to the suburbs to see the 'ugly' side of Riga. Although most of the natives live in the city, be sure not to miss the surroundings. If you're not interested in making the obvious choice (Jürmala) you might want to try Sigulda or Turaida instead. Or if you're tired of the Latvians, reasonably prised busses operate to Vilnius several times a day.

fm1721 from United Kingdom wrote about Rīga

Walking through the largest Baltic city opens a broader perspective on the history of Europe in the world. Riga actually is a lovely city and home of quite a lot amiable people who are even more European than the majority of the citizens of several other countries in 'the old Europe'. A free Riga Tour starts every day at 12.00pm in front of the St. Peters Church. Look out for the yellow suitcase! I can recommend this tour as it covers loads of exciting places off the tourist paths.

jussi from Finland wrote about Victory Memorial to Soviet Army

Outside the center is the Victory Monument representing the soviet style of building monumental statues. Getting there is a great adventure: we took a tram across the river and tried to step off at the right stop. The monument is worth seeing, if for no other reason than to go outside the touristy old town...

Nice place to stop at, good dining and wining. Be sure to check out the sky bar at the top of hotel Reval. We rented a limo to drive around, since it was quite inexpensive. Some of the bed&breakfast places can be quite rugged, so try not to choose from the cheapest end.

juha from Finland wrote about Riga river boats

You can go for a river cruise on the boats in Riga. Nothing much to see (except the old town which is better explored on foot) but they sell cheap vodka and let you bring your own drinks too. That's quite a good way of starting the night. :)

juha from Finland wrote about Jūrmala

A visit to the Jurmala beach is a must if you're in Riga. Take the local train here, it will take you about a half an hour. Tons of people and very, very many beautiful and thin girls. You will twist your neck. Trust me.

petunia from Finland wrote about Jūrmala

Hundreds of beautiful old "datchas" are worth seeing. Also, the local food is excellent (and cheap!) no matter which restauran you choose. Sun-lovers: don't forget to visit the 12km-long beach with fine, golden sand.

Before you go download the Riga In Your Pocket city guide for free from http://riga.inyourpocket.com or grab a hard copy when you are there.

juha from Finland wrote about Freedom Monument

A nice statue that you can't miss if you're walking in Riga. It seems to be a popular hangout for local youngsters.

kikka from Finland wrote about Juan's Riga Hostel

I visited this hostel in the old location but if the spirit (and the staff) is still the same - great youth hostel!
