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

The good Riga massage parlors have a stylish waiting area, comfortable and clean massage rooms with private showers. They typically feature 3-7 hot Latvia women to chose from. In general the quality level of the women 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 Latvia escort experience which tends to vary from horrible to just tedious, a Latvia 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 Latvia. You owe it to yourself to check it out at least once on your trip.

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

Be warned that their are plenty of salons which are just a fraud so be careful. Check our Latvia Club Blacklist Page often to see the list of scammers!

Latvia has some of the most spectacular girls in the world. One of the main attractions of Latvia is the fact that you can find an escort of very high “model” quality at a good price by western standards. Unfortunately the quality of the escorts can be extremely variable and there are many pitfalls and scams to avoid.

We have learned from many first hand experiences that randomly calling an escort service can often result in an unhappy, alcoholic, middle-aged woman with bad hygiene showing up at your room. To make the situation worse they will typically demand at least 20 Lats to go away. There are also many internet sites which have 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 girl’s “manager.” Typically they speak little English and making arrangements in English can be quite difficult as well as risky. It is quite common for the women or their managers to change the price after the fact and try to intimidate you into paying more money than was agreed.

You also need to especially careful of the nice women who approach you on the streets asking you if you want some “company” as typically this type of come-on will result in you getting ripped off, or in some cases, an meeting with her manager who will demand a very large “donation.”

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

If you have read our previous post on Latvia Strip Clubs Scams then you know about the many scams you need to avoid with stripclubs in Latvia. Given the situation, there are only two stripclubs we can recommend where you will not get ripped off: 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 Latvija. Both of these stripclubs are expensive but all prices are posted in the menu and there are no unexpected charges (of course like everywhere in Latvia, cocktails purchased for dancers are much more expensive so check the menu carefully!). Also they both feature quite a few sexy Latvia 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 tourism agency. For more information check out the agency Nightlife In Riga. Before you consider visiting any of the other stripclubs in Latvia please see our Latvia Strip Clubs Scam page first!

Latvia has a great club scene which offers a chance to see and meet some of the hottest ladies in the world! Unlike many countries, the hottest nightclubs in Latvia are typically open to everyone. Because of this, Latvia offers a unique opportunity to mingle with some fashion model quality ladies who would typically be in some roped off, VIP only club in most other countries. Of course if you really want to meet some of the hotter girls 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 Latvia’s hot club scene.

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

In general it is best to be wary of ladies in the nightclubs who seem very friendly. Typically they are working for a drink commission from the nightclub and will order a few rounds of overpriced cocktails and then disappear into the “ladies room” never to come back. Worse they may try to lure you into one of the scam strip clubs we have warned you about earlier. It is possible to meet a nice local girl for a good time in a Latvia nightclub but in general it is just like anywhere else…. if you are wealthy and attractive it is a lot easier then if you are just an average guy, 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 Latvian women you can always order up a private party in your hotel room with some ladies who know exactly what you are looking for!

For a complete list of Latvia nightclubs with addresses and descriptions check out this Latvia Nightclubs page.

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

Especially avoid the “Private Shows”! It is very typical for the ladies 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 girl 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 1000 LVL for the bottle!!!! This is very common practice in Latvia unfortunately. If you refuse to pay the strip club will call the police who will force you to pay. Do not expect the police to help you in Latvia! They quite often have a mutually beneficial deal with the stripclubs and they will be happy to beat you up to get you to pay the 1000 Ls bill!!!

We have heard many first hand accounts of this kind of thing happening in many strip clubs in Latvia. Particularly avoid the stripclubs in Old Town Riga!!! These are the most notorious for these kinds of rip offs. If you enter one of these clubs you will be robbed!

In general it is best to avoid the stripclubs altogether unless you have someone with connections at the club to assure that you do not get the “tourists” treatment. For these kinds of Latvia adult nightlife events or Latvia Stag parties it is best to book a party through a legitimate nightlife tourism agency who can make sure you don’t get ripped off.

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 LVL and 2 LVL (about 3 Euro). Paper currency denominations go from 5 LVL, 10 LVL, 50 LVL, 100 LVL and up.

Hotels, nightclubs, restaurants, cafes and shops in Latvia will usually not accept any currency besides LVL so you will need to exchange your Euros, Pounds, Dollars, Rubles etc. Always exchange your money at established banks like Parex Banka, Unibanka, Hansabanka, Nordea Bank, etc.! Do NOT use the currency exchange booths (valūtas maiņa) which are all over Latvia!!! The rates given at the currency exchange windows are always very bad. The rates they post on their ads 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, Rubles etc. into LVL before you go out for the night as you will get a VERY bad exchange rate when you try to change your money at 2AM after some drinks!

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