If you want an easy way to get Latvian Lats and don't want to be bothered with airport exchange bureau or cash machines abroad, then pop into your local Post Office and purchase them there, they will also buy back any unused Lats on your return.

The currency in Latvia is the Lat. You can't buy Lats from your local and so, beacuse of this, they will tell you that the preferred currency is dollars - but don't listen to them. Try to get some Lats in the departure lounge but even if you don't it's not a major disaster because the airport has cash machines which aren't a rip off. Having said that, once you're in Riga itself, I recommend using Hansa Bank ATMs ...
