Getting there

Train

From Jurmala, head to the Jurmala train station. You can take a local bus or walk to the station. Once at the station, purchase a ticket to Rīga. Trains run frequently, and the journey takes about 30 minutes. Upon arrival at Rīga's central train station (Rīgas Centrālā dzelzceļa stacija), exit the station and walk towards the city center. Follow the signs for 'Centra rajons' or use a map app to guide you. The Riga Free Tours is located at Reformācijas Laukums, approximately a 15-minute walk from the train station. Head down Stacijas iela, then continue onto Elizabetes iela, and finally turn left onto Reformācijas Laukums.

Bus

Take the local bus line 1 or 2 from Jurmala to Rīga. The bus will take you directly to the city center. Once you arrive, get off at the stop 'Rīga, 11. novembra krastmala', which is close to the old town. From there, walk towards the city center, head down the street, and you will reach Reformācijas Laukums within 10 minutes. This area is well-marked and easy to navigate.

Bicycle

If you prefer biking, rent a bicycle in Jurmala from one of the local rental shops. Follow the scenic bike paths leading towards Rīga. The ride will take around 45 minutes to 1 hour. Once in Rīga, head towards the central area and make your way to Reformācijas Laukums by following the bike lanes and signs for the city center.

Walking

If you enjoy walking and are staying in a central location in Jurmala, you can walk to Rīga. It’s a bit of a trek (approximately 20 kilometers), so plan for a day trip. Start by heading towards the coast and walk along the beach path until you reach Rīga's city outskirts. Once you are near the center of Rīga, navigate to Reformācijas Laukums by using local maps or GPS.
