Great cheap break to Riga in Latvia for three nights. Flying with Wizzair from Liverpool on Friday 22nd January and returning Monday 25th January. If you are a member of the Wizzair Club the flight prices can be reduced further.
Hotel is in the centre and ideally located for the tourist sites and bars/restaurants. Has good ratings On TripAdvisor but you can change this hotel if you want to increase your budget, so many good hotels in Riga. Cheap and easy to get about and bargain food and drink prices too.
Flights £71.96
Hotel £51.11 (don't forget 10.1% Tcb potentially another £5 off).
Airport bus is 2 Euro pp each way €8/£5.88
Total price £128.95/£64.48pp (or around £123 if TCB tracks).

Love Riga, Heat added.
People must bear in mind Wizzair's baggage allowance is slightly less than Ryanair / Easyjet .

Surprisingly expensive city which can be pretty much seen in 1 day
Nothing will compare to Lapland in February this year! It was minus 16 and my nostrils froze together

Minus 34 is the coldest temperature i've ever been in. It was in Riga around 7 or 8 years ago & i also got frozen nostrils. I purchased a bowl of tomato soup from a cafe & put the bowl on my nose :laughing:
Best part of it was that i said to the waitress that it was " very cold today " to which she replied " it's not so bad " . Must be damn tough those Latvians :smile:

We did Lapland at Christmas a few years back. Christmas Day was -37. On a sled with wind chill = -55. Kids crying everywhere . At that temp exposed skin turns purple and starts to flake off. Marvellous !

I'll take your -37 and raise (err, lower) it to -43. Me and the Mrs got married at the Ice Hotel in Northern Sweden. It was astonishingly cold. But fantastic.

Yikes! And that's not just the temperature but the price of the Swedish Ice Hotel!! I stayed in the one in Transylvania but it was only about minus 10. Surprisingly slept very well.
