How to reach Riga from Riga Airport by bus?

The Riga International Airport’s public transportation bus stop is 300 meters from the arrival terminal’s exit, past the parking lot. From the terminal, follow the Public Transport signs.

Bus tickets are available from the driver, the ticket machine at the bus stop, the airport’s information desk in Arrivals E, the “Narvesen” shops on both floors of the terminal, and the ticket vending machine there.
