Hotel "Skanste" is located right by Arena Riga - the new multifunctional sports and entertainment center. Arena Riga is the main site for 2006. Ice Hockey World Championship!
Other facilities in the area are: Olympic Sports Center, Skonto Exibition Hall and other.
The Old Town (historical part of Riga) is 5 minutes away by car from hotel (if no traffic jams on streets) or abot 25 minutes of rather slow walking (we will show you the most scenic ways to get to old town - walking through Jugendstile Riga!)
The Old Town has it all - restaurants, entertainment, museums, concerts!
