Hi everyone! I'm a French exchange student moving to Riga for the 2026-2027 academic year. I'm a huge cinema fan and I'm trying to figure out how the movie scene works there.

Back home most cinemas show foreign films in original language with local subtitles. Since I don't speak Latvian (yet!), I'm wondering:

• Are there cinemas in Riga that regularly show films in their original language with English subtitles?
• Any particular theater known for indie/arthouse selection rather than just blockbusters?

Any recommendations from fellow film lovers would be much appreciated :)

Hi quick question,

I'm planning to rent an apartment for my Erasmus program through them. I have the necessary funds, so that's not a problem, but I want to make sure it's not a scam. Thanks in advance for your replies.
