ReviewsReviews for the bus trip from Tallinn to Riga

The customer opinion was acquired via Cimenio. Cimenio incentivises its users for giving an honest opinion and proving the booking with a photo of the travel ticket.

Advantages

Comparatively favourable

Plenty of space

Functioning wifi

Disadvantages

Route with a lot of congestion

Obsolete bus

Socket did not work

The journey was not ideal. The plus point is the price, but there are a few things to criticise. Perhaps it was simply because it was an old bus, but the power socket didn't work, which was quite unfavourable for the length of the journey. There was also the traffic jam. The interior of the bus could definitely be improved here. However, the wifi worked well.

Advantages

Very comfortable seats

Nice service

Disadvantages

Very short delay, if any

The coach journey from Tallinn to Riga was pleasant. The comfort was first class, with comfortable seats and plenty of legroom. The service and cleanliness were excellent. The journey time was short and the value for money was well worth it. Although there was a traffic jam during the journey, our coach driver was able to quickly find an alternative route. All in all, a trip worth recommending.

Advantages

Punctual

wifi

Comfortable seats

Disadvantages

Climate too cold

No snacks

No toilet break

I recently took the bus journey from Tallinn to Riga with "Lux Express" (bus number: 5678). The journey took about 4 hours and 30 minutes. The positive thing was the punctuality of the bus, which left at 10:00. The seats were comfortable and the wifi worked well. Unfortunately, there were also many negative aspects. The air conditioning was far too cold, which made the whole journey uncomfortable. There were also no snacks or drinks, which I found disappointing on such a long journey. There was no toilet break, which was problematic for many passengers. Overall, the experience was disappointing and I can only recommend the ride with reservations. There is definitely room for improvement.

Latvia uses the euro (EUR) as its currency. For travelers, card payments are widely accepted in cities and larger establishments, making them convenient for most purchases, while cash may be preferred in small towns, markets, or rural areas.

In Riga, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like the Old Town and public transport. Common scams include overpriced taxi rides without meters and currency exchange fraud at unofficial exchange points. It's advised to use official taxis, avoid street money changers, and keep belongings secure in busy spots.

Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
