It is in Mārupe municipality, 5.4 NM (10.0 km; 6.2 mi) west of Riga, the capital of Latvia.

Public transport to city centre:
Bus route #22, operated by Rīgas Satiksme, runs between Riga city centre and the airport. 0.70 LVL (about €1,-). Used it myself. It's a good, modern bus with enough stops in the centre.

Riga is a really nice city, but unfortunately the airport sucks. It's cramped and crowded with a lousy A/C. Also, all the seats in the departure hall are always taken, so you have to stand up while waiting to board your plane.

Yeah Riga is badly designed airport, always hate flying from there... :/
However they are planning to build a new terminal soon, so there's hope for a change
