A number of locations in Riga may also be reached by electric train, which is also the preferred method of transportation to Jurmala, a resort town where visitors can take advantage of the Baltic Sea's close proximity.

Taxis are a convenient way to get around Riga, especially late at night or when travelling with luggage. However, fares can vary between companies, and there are no city-wide maximum limits on kilometre rates, boarding fees or waiting time charges. For this reason, travellers should always check prices in advance and choose services carefully to avoid surprises.

In Riga you can observe a diverse community of cyclists: from the sporty, who throw themselves almost brazenly into the road traffic, to the normal, who get around on the bike paths, to the enjoyable, who like to take relaxing rides on the Daugava River promenades.
