EuroBasket in Riga – How to Get Around During the 2025 Championship

EuroBasket 2025 is coming to Riga this August, and thousands of basketball fans from across Europe will be heading to Latvia to support their national teams. If you're planning to be in Riga between August 27 and September 8, one thing is clear: you'll want a smart and reliable way to get around.

Why Should You Rent a Car During EuroBasket?

Public transport will be busy. Taxi prices? Most likely surging. And if you're arriving with friends, luggage, or simply value flexibility — renting a car is the winning play. With your own vehicle, you can explore freely, stick to your schedule, and avoid transport stress between games.
