Recommended route – bus
(duration 1–1,5 hours):
Riga Airport → Bus No. 22 from Riga Airport to central Riga (€1.50 or €1.81 from the driver by card) → Riga International Bus Station / Rīgas SAO → regional bus to Koklītes (towards Saulkrasti and or Zvejniekciems) (around €2.80) → short walk to Minhauzena Unda
Alternative route – train
(duration 1 hour):
Riga Airport → Bus No. 22 (€1.50 or €1.81 from the driver by card) → Riga Central Railway Station → train on the Rīga–Skulte line to Saulkrasti / Ķīšupe (€2.80) → local bus, taxi, or walk to Minhauzena Unda
The train is useful if the timing works better, but it is less direct for this accommodation because you still need to get from the train stop to Minhauzena Unda.
Late arrivals
If arriving late, check the last bus or train to Saulkrasti carefully. Riga has night bus N22 Centre–Airport, but onward transport to Saulkrasti may be limited at night. Very late arrivals may need to stay in Riga, wait for the first morning connection, or use a taxi/ride service.
