The student residences were inexpensive, but we wanted to live on the &#8220;other side of the river&#8221; so that we could go partying in the old town in the evenings. Via Airbnb, the two of us found an apartment for 750 euros per month, just a 20-minute walk from the city center. We were very happy with this choice. A little tip: For longer stays, it&#8217;s worth renegotiating with Airbnb, as many landlords have lowered the price.    <\/p>\n<p>The cost of living in Riga is slightly higher than in Germany &#8211; food and drugstore products were often more expensive.
