Best places to socialize/meet people as a foreigner visiting?
My friend who I’ve been on a trip with for Helsinki and Tallinn so far had to leave mid-trip due to a family emergency, so I’m unexpectedly gonna be solo traveling for the rest of it. I’ll be in Riga in a couple days and im trying to fill in the social gap now that it’s solo, but don’t know which bars/pubs/hostel centers/etc are good for solo (American) tourists. Age 25.
I’ll already be in a non refundable hotel in the city center, but I’m also wondering if there are some hostels with common areas/lobbies that are open to other solo travelers who aren’t staying at that hostel? The crowd there would obviously seem a little easier to connect with
Thanks!
