Actually I took Bolt to the Ethnographic Open-Air Museum, which was around 20 Euros round trip (24 km round trip), and also one way to the airport from the hotel for 7 Euros for 10 km. The airport is about halfway to Jurmala, so I would imagine it to be double the cost/distance. The service was quite efficient! Jurmala is going to be very busy in June, so be prepared!

If you're looking for traditional Latvian food in Old Riga, my local friend recommended Folkklubs Ala Pagrabs, and wow, it was absolutely amazing. It brought back wonderful memories of my late Latvian mother's cooking. It's in the basement of a building (very pub-like atmosphere, kinda like eating in cellars), and is very unassuming and very affordably priced. It's a hit with the locals, and unless you get there very early or managed to make advance reservations (highly recommended), you may be waiting at least an hour or two for a table! We walked in and managed to snag half of a large table with another couple, and this was a Saturday night at 5 pm!! Only a 15 minute walk from the hotel. Definitely on my list to visit again!!
