Know what locals know

Riga Original app offers you one simple local insight of the place or event that gives you the full flavour and picture. Our local insight is something your local buddy would tell you who is totally neutral and does't push any personal preference. Search for whatever you are looking for from speciality coffee shops to the local, secret Wednesday party spot and more. No more tourist traps, no bs, no bias opinions! Know what Locals know!

The concept

We do not BS tourists. We say how it is. We are neutral. If the place is very popular, we will let you know. We will never say a place is popular among locals if it is not. 

We want tourists to know what locals know. At the moment we are your local guide and friend only in Riga, Latvia, but we want to give you the best possible information wherever you go and we are working on it. We are the local buddy who knows all the places, not just the ones he/she likes. Local App does not review places. It tells you what a local buddy without any specific preference would tell you. 

The best of Riga in your pocket

At the moment we are your best local information guide in Riga!

Browse through one of our categories or just use Search! You will find everything Riga has to offer from cute cafeterias and popular speciality coffee spots to cool local brunch places, bars and nightclubs.

Search

Search for that local secret Wednesday party spot or the coolest place for a Sunday brunch. For example the most popular nightlife spot in Riga on Wednesdays is "Piens"! It is outside Old Riga and most tourists unfortunately stay only there. You can also search for specific places you have heard about, to find out what we have to say about them.
