Directions
| Bus: | We are a short walk of 300 metres. You leave the Bus Station and turn left towards Old Riga by walking under the railway line as the railway is on a bridge above you. Then immediately walk down a few steps in to the underpass to get you to the other side of the road. Take the left side steps before the end of the tunnel back up to ground level. Once you emerge you should be facing a small kiosk. walk to the kiosk and then turn right and cross over the tram tracks. Walk across the park towards Monte Kristo Hotel and you will then come on to the Naughty Squirrel Hostel street called Kaleju Iela. Then turn right and walk 50 metres to number 50 which is the Naughty Squirrel Backpackers Hostel building. The reception is on the floor above the ground floor. |
| Parking: | Parking available on our street at 70 Kaleju Iela in the Avalon hotel. 10Euro for 24 hours. |
| Sea port: | The port is only about 4km from Old Riga. I recommend that you take a taxi and agree the price of 5 LVL with the driver before you start. Tell the driver you want to go to Old Riga and the Audeju Iela entrance to Old Riga. The journey takes about 5 or 10 minutes and is very direct using only about 3 roads.You will know you are at Audeju Iela when you see a new shopping centre called Galeria Centres. The Hostel street is Kaleju Iela number 50. Walk about 20meters down Kaleju iela then you will find our entrance. Walk up the first set of stairs and you will find the reception door which is locked 24hours a day, just press the buzzer and we will open it for you. |
| Location: | The Naughty Squirrel Backpackers is located on a 50 Kaleju Iela, A medieval street in the centre of the old town. |
| Rail: | The most difficult part with the train station is finding your way out to the correct exit. What will help you is first finding the Riga clock tower. Then you will know you have exited the train station on the correct side. From the Riga clock tower you will have the station building to your back and you will be facing Janvara and Marijas street. Walk to Janvara street and a little to the left and you will find an underpass to get you to the other side of the road. Take the left stairs at the end of the underpass and then on this new side of the road walk along the footpath that takes you over some water. Keep walking along that path next to the road and after about 100 metres you will see the Metropole Hotel on the right. Cross the road separating you from the Metropole and walk to the left side of the Metropole past it. There you will see another underpass bringing people from the Bus Station and from the picture theatre , in front of you will be a small park. Walk across the park and towards Monte Kristo Hotel and you will then come on to the Naughty Squirrel Backpackers Hostel street called Kaleju Iela. Then turn right and walk 50 metres to number 50 which is the Naughty Squirrel Backpackers Hostel building. The reception is on the floor above the ground floor. |
| Airport: | There is an airport bus 22 that starts at 5:30am and finishes at 10:30pm . The bus stop to get on this bus 22 is located on the opposite side of the Airport carpark that you will see once you exit the airport. It departs around every 20 minutes and costs just 0.60 local cents (santimes). Check our website for more details on how to find our hostel from the bus stop in the city center. We are only 200m away! |
