Cost of living index: 53.56
Some would say it is one of the calmest cities, while others define it as an absolute “hidden party” city. So, we can conclude it has many different things in one. Even though it is not on the map of the most popular touristic places, Riga, the number 10 on the list of most affordable places to live in Europe in 2017 has a lot to offer. Its historical center is the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Moreover, it was the European Capital of Culture for the year 2014, and in 2006 was the host of NATO Summit. Nevertheless, the Eurovision Song Contest was held in Riga in 2003. Rent per month in this capital of Latvia for a single flat is around $460, while the average net salary per month is $730. If you decide to treat yourself with a cappuccino, be sure to have around 2.70 dollars in your pockets.
