If you read on Riga Escorts Net about the sad demise of the escorting business in Riga then you already know that the best option still available in Riga for an intimate good time with a hot Riga girl is a full body erotic massage. There are lots of erotic massage salons in Riga and just like anything else the quality ranges from extremely good to mediocre to a complete rip off.

The good Riga massage parlours have a stylish waiting area, comfortable and clean massage rooms with private showers. They typically feature 3-7 hot Riga ladies to chose from. In general the quality level of the ladies is very high (at the good salons) and the the service provided is quite spectacular. The full body massage lasts the full hour and you leave after the hour feeling incredibly relaxed and completely satisfied. Unlike a typical Riga escorting experience which tends to vary from horrible to just tedious, a Riga erotic massage done correctly is a truly enjoyable experience and a very good bargain for the money. It is the one activity we can wholeheartedly recommended when in Riga. You owe it to yourself to check it out at least once on your trip.

There are a number of very good Riga massage parlours. The one we recommend the most is rigavipmassage.com. It has good prices (45 Ls or 65 Euro) and the service is consistently excellent and friendly. They have a very good choice of beautiful Latvian ladies (which can be seen on their website) and we have not had any bad reports or feedback about them (they are also a sponsor of the Riga Sex Guide). They also are located just two blocks from Old Town Riga and very near the Freedom Monument. Other salons which we have good reports about are bikini.lv and ecstasy.lv (the ladies in the profiles are fake but they have nice salons and a good selection of sexy Latvian ladies on average).

Be warned that their are plenty of salons which are just a scam so be careful. Check our Riga Club Blacklist Page often to see the list of rip offs and scams!

Riga has some of the hottest girls you will find anywhere. One of the main attractions of Riga is the fact that you can get an escort of very high “fashion model” quality at a cheap price by western standards. Unfortunately the quality can be extremely variable and there are many scams to avoid.

We have learned from first hand experience that randomly calling an escort service can often result in a disheveled, alcoholic, older woman with bad hygiene showing up at your door. To make things worse they will often demand at least 20 Ls to go away. There are also many internet sites which show pictures and give a number which you can contact the woman directly. Unfortunately these pictures are often not real and usually the number is for the woman’s “manager.” Usually they speak little or no English and making arrangements can be very difficult as well as risky. It is quite common for the women or their managers to change the price once they have arrived and try to intimidate you into paying more than was agreed.

You also need to very wary of the friendly girls who approach you on the street asking you if you want some “company” as typically this will result in you getting ripped off, or in some cases, a meeting with her manager who will demand a very large “donation.”

The best way to avoid these problems is to find a reputable escort service with an English speaking staff. The good agencies will not only provide you with a high quality escort but they will also make sure you are not ripped off and get what you pay for. While finding a good escort agency can be difficult, if you find one you will often be able to experience one of those “dream girls” that Riga is famous for. The best way to find a good escort agency is to get a referral from another client. If you have had a good experience with an escort agency or escort please post in the comments section and let everyone know. If you have had any bad experiences with any agencies let us know as well!

If you have read our post Riga Stripclub Warnings then you know about the many scams you need to avoid with stripclubs in Riga. Unfortunately given the situation, there are only two stripclubs we can recommend where you will not get scammed: Sin City which is located on Dzirnavu 87/89 in the Riga Centre and the Jockey Club which is located on Elizabetes 49 next to the Reval Hotel Latvia. Both of these stripclubs are expensive but all prices are posted in the menu and there are no surprise charges (of course like everywhere in Riga, drinks purchased for dancers are much more expensive so check the menu carefully!). Also they both feature quite a few hot Riga women for your viewing pleasure!

The best way to visit either one of these stripclubs is too arrange for VIP access with a night life tour agency. For more information check out our sponsor Nightlife In Riga. Before you consider visiting any of the other stripclubs in Riga please see our Riga Stripclubs Warning page first!

Riga has a great club scene which offers a chance to see and meet some of the sexiest women in the world dressed to impress. Unlike many major cities, the hottest nightclubs in Riga are typically open to everyone. Because of this, Riga offers a unique opportunity to mingle with some model quality women who would typically be in some roped off, VIP only nightclub in most other cities. Of course if you really want to meet some of the hotter women it always helps to be rich, charming and good looking just like anywhere else, but even if you are just an average guy, there is still a lot of fun to be had in Riga?s hot nightclub scene.

Most of the good nightclubs in Riga cost between 10-20 Lats for entry. There is sometimes a line but usually you will not have to wait long. On Thursday nights the hottest nightclub is Club Essential on Skolas 2 near the Hotel Reval Latvija. This nightclub features top-of-the-line lights and sound but what will really interest you will be the crowds of incredible local hotties grinding it out on the dance floor! Club Essential on a big night will truly feature some incredible looking women! On Friday nights you can find all the local Russian models and model wanna bes at Studio 69 on Terbatas 73. This Moscow style club is lavishly designed and decorated and features some of the most incredible Russian women you will ever see this side of Moscow! On Saturday you can try a more relaxed atmosphere at the Skyline Cafe on the top of the Hotel Reval Latvia. This modern, well designed bar/lounge features incredible views of the Riga night skyline as well as the well dressed local women looking to meet some rich man. After that you can check out Fashion Club on Terbatas 2 near the Freedom Monument. This hot club also features some sexy go-go shows and occasionally some famous Russian pop acts on its catwalk like stage.

In general it is best to be wary of women in the nightclubs who seem overly friendly. Typically they are working for a drink commissions from the nightclub and will order a few rounds of overpriced drinks and then disappear into the “ladies room” never to come back. Worse they may try to lure you into one of the scam we have warned you about. It is possible to meet a nice local woman for a good time in a Riga club but in general it is just like anywhere else……if you are rich and good looking it is a lot easier then if you are just an average man, so play it smart. Of course if you find yourself back in your hotel room at the end of the night with nothing but some nice memories of all the incredible Riga women you can always order up a private party in your room with some women who know exactly what you are looking for!

The currency used in Latvia is the Lat. It can be written as Lats, LVL or Ls. The currency comes in coins of 1 Santims (about 1.4 Euro Cents), 2 Santimi, 5 Santimi, 10 Santimi, 20 Santimi, 50 Santimi, 1 Ls and 2 Ls (about 3 Euro). Paper currency denominations go from 5 Ls, 10 Ls, 50 Ls, 100 Ls and up.

Hotels, clubs, restaurants and stores in Riga will usually not accept any currency besides Lats so you will need to exchange your Euros, Pounds, Dollars, etc. Always exchange your money at a bank like Parex Banka, Hansabanka, Nordea Bank, etc.! Do NOT use the small currency exchange booths (valÅ«tas maiņa) which are all over Riga!!! The rates given at the small currency exchange windows are always very bad. The rates they post on their signs are the rates they will sell the given currency for…… not what they will buy it for! Be very careful about this as this is one of the ways to lose a large amount of money in Latvia! Make sure you have exchanged all your Euros, Pounds, Dollars, etc. into Ls before you go out for the night as you will get a VERY bad exchange rate when you try to change your currency at 3AM after some drinks!

Never exchange currency with anyone you meet off the street! That is a good way to get robbed or end up with some very low value currency like Russian Rubles or Estonian Kroons. Also if you try to exchange your money in a bar or club you are likely to get a very bad exchange rate as well. Make sure you exchange all of your money at established banks!

Unfortunately most stripclubs in Riga are set up to squeeze the most money out of you as quickly as possible. They will try to lure you in with the promise of free drinks but once you are inside you will find yourself quickly set upon by a few pretty women who will chat you up and try to get you to order for them as many cocktails as possible. Be very careful as these drinks for the women can sometimes cost as much as 30 to 50 Lats each!!! Typically after about 1 hour you will have spent 300 Ls and not have received even so much as one table dance for you trouble!

Especially avoid the “Private Rooms”! It is very typical for the women to try to talk you into a private room for a “special show.” Most often you will get nothing “special” but it is quite common for the girls to set an open bottle of champagne on the table as part of the “party.” Only later do you find out that you are being charged as much as 2000 Lats for the bottle!!!! This is very common scam unfortunately. If you refuse to pay the club will often call the police who will force you to pay. Do not expect the police to assist you in Riga! They quite often have a mutually beneficial “arrangement” with the stripclubs and they will be happy to beat you up to force you to pay the 2000 Ls bill!!!

We have many first hand accounts of this happening in many strip clubs. Particularly avoid the stripclubs in Old Riga!!! These are the most notorious for these kinds of scams. If you enter one of these clubs you will be scammed!

In general it is best to avoid the stripclubs entirely unless you have someone with connections at the club to assure that you do not get the “tourist” treatment. For these kinds of events or Stag nights it is best to book a party through a legitimate tour agency who can make sure you don’t get scammed.
