I went to Riga six years ago, and found it pricey, compared to Lithuania. It's a pretty city though. There is a very good, cheap guide for Eastern European cities called, "In Your Pocket." It's published several times and is roughly the size of a playbill. They are fairly cheap and can be found at any magazine kiosk. I'd grab one my first day in Riga, they're fairly inexpensive and better than any of the traditional guidebooks.

That's another site which can help u. As well as site about virtual Riga
To Turaida Castle u can get by bus or by taxi, it is not so far from Riga, Turaida Castle is in Sigulda
Very interesting place and Castle to see is Rundale Castle, which is not far from Bauska, also reachable by bus.
Enjoy!
