Public transportation is a viable option for getting around the cities. Taking buses or trains between cities in Latvia and Estonia is relatively cheap as well. To save money, consider purchasing a Baltic Latvian or Baltic European Rail Pass. Hitchhiking is also a common way of traveling in the Baltics. However, note that some of the smaller towns and areas may not have much public transportation. The estimated cost for transportation is €50-100.
If you have extra time, consider visiting the beach towns of Jurmala and Parnu. If you have less time, remove Sigulda from the itinerary. While you’re visiting the Baltic countries, keep in mind that many hostels offer cheap yet comfortable accommodation, and local food markets sell fresh produce for times when you're looking for a budget meal.
