Key Takeaways / TL;DR:
So, you’ve landed in Riga. Welcome!
You’ve got your badge, you’ve checked into your hotel, and now you’re looking at Google Maps trying to figure out where on earth the ATTA Centre is.
If you look at the official Radiodays website, it looks like a beautiful, futuristic spaceship (which it is). But what they tell you is that it’s located on —which is basically a highway lined with car dealerships and home improvement stores.
It’s not in the Old Town. It’s not "just a quick walk" from your hotel (unless you like walking next to 6 lanes of traffic).
As locals who have attended events at ATTA since it opened, we want to save you some pain. Here is the Spotwise Unofficial Survival Guide to the Radiodays Europe 2026 venue.
I cannot stress this enough. If you are staying in the Old Town (Vecrīga) or the Quiet Centre (Klusais Centrs), the ATTA Centre looks close on the map. It is about 4-5km.
In London or Berlin, that might be a nice morning stroll. In Riga, in March, along the Daugava river? That is a wind-tunnel challenge.

The ATTA Centre has catering, and it’s usually decent. But if you are a "foodie" or you just need to escape the conference food for a client meeting, you need to know the landscape.

Navigating the ATTA Centre is a lot like navigating the radio ad market right now.
It’s big, it’s crowded, and if you don't know exactly where to look, you waste a lot of time wandering around.
That’s actually why we built Spotwise.ai.
While you are here in Riga, my team and I are monitoring the airwaves of this city (and yours) in real-time. We don't wait for "post-campaign reports" to tell us what happened last week. We know what ads are playing right now, who bought them, and how much they spent.
Don't leave Riga without seeing it.
Come say "Sveiki" (Hello) to us at Booth 1A.
We’ll show you a live demo of the Riga radio market, give you a proper coffee, and help you order your Bolt back to the airport.
See you on the floor!

No, walking is highly discouraged. The venue is located 4-5km away on Krasta iela, which is a busy 6-lane highway. Walking along the Daugava river in March can feel like walking through a freezing wind tunnel.
The most efficient method is using the Bolt ride-sharing app. A ride from the Old Town takes just 7-10 minutes and typically costs between €5 and €8. It is highly recommended to use Bolt rather than hailing unbranded taxis off the street.
Yes. For a budget-friendly and scenic route, you can take Tram No. 7 and get off at the "Krasta masīvs" stop, which is right in front of the venue. Tickets cost €1.50.
The immediate vicinity is mostly commercial, featuring home improvement stores rather than cafes. However, the legendary LIDO Atpūtas Centrs—a massive log cabin serving heavy, traditional Latvian food—is just a 2-minute drive or a 15-minute walk down the street.
Power outlets are hidden inside the floor boxes in the main exhibition hall and along the walls in the breakout rooms. If you need absolute silence to work, look for the seating area near the East Entrance or head to the Business Lounge on the second floor.
