- Complete passport control (non‑Schengen arrivals) and continue to Baggage Claim.
- Collect your luggage, then follow the flow toward Customs.

Schengen Arrivals — Arrivals Hall E
- After landing, follow signs for Arrivals and Baggage Claim (no passport control for Schengen arrivals).
- Collect your luggage and follow signs to the exit into the public Arrivals Hall E (landside).
- Once in the public hall, look for the overhead ATM pictogram—ATMs are typically placed where arriving passengers naturally slow down.

- Withdraw the amount you need for immediate expenses (e.g., transport, small purchases).
- Continue out to the pick‑up lanes and transport area once you’re finished.
Departing Passengers — Best Landside ATM Route (Before Security)
- Enter the terminal and head toward the check‑in counters on the departures level.
- Before you commit to the security queue, look along the landside concourse for ATM signage.
- If you see a bank-branded ATM (e.g., Swedbank/Citadele) and it’s available, withdraw here to avoid searching later.
- If the landside machines are busy, proceed through Security—there are usually additional ATMs airside near the main shopping corridor.
Connecting / Transfer Passengers — Airside (Between Gates B & C)
- After your first flight, follow signs for Transfer and your next gate.
- Head into the main airside shopping corridor and locate the area between Departure Gates B and C.
- Look for the Transfer Centre signage—ATMs are commonly positioned nearby in this high-traffic zone.
- If you must pass passport control (Schengen ↔ non‑Schengen), use the ATM either before or after passport control depending on where you see it first.
- Withdraw cash, then return to the gate flow (monitor screens for gate changes).
Quick RIX Landmarks That Mean You’re Close
- Arrivals Hall E: If you’re in the public arrivals meeting area (1st floor) with service counters nearby, you’re in the right zone for landside ATMs.
- Arrivals Hall C: If you’ve just come through customs into the public hall, slow down—ATMs are often placed close to the natural exit path.
- Airside Shopping Spine: If you see duty-free entrances and a dense row of shops/cafés, you’re likely near at least one airside ATM.
- Transfer Centre area: Between gates B and C is a key waypoint—if you’re lost, head there and watch for ATM icons.
Use the map below to find the nearest ATMs and banks near Riga Airport (RIX), especially if you can’t use the ATMs inside the airport or prefer to withdraw cash outside the airport.
ATM Withdrawal Tips & Advice for Riga Airport (RIX)
- If you’re landing late at night, prioritize the Arrivals Hall E/C landside ATMs first—these are the easiest to access without needing a boarding pass, and they’re closest to taxis and buses.
- For connections, aim for the airside zone between gates B and C (near the Transfer Centre). It’s a reliable “central hub” area to search if you don’t immediately see an ATM at your gate.
- At RIX, you may see both bank-branded ATMs and independent operator ATMs. If you have a choice, many travelers prefer bank-branded machines (e.g., Swedbank/Citadele) for clearer pricing.
- Be extra careful with Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) prompts. If an ATM offers to charge you in your home currency, choose EUR to avoid hidden exchange markups.
- If an airport ATM shows a high surcharge, try a different machine within the terminal—RIX commonly has more than one ATM area (Arrivals halls + departures/transfer zone), so you don’t have to accept the first fee you see.
- If you only need a small amount for transport, withdraw a small first amount in the arrivals hall, then do a larger withdrawal later in the city at a bank ATM once you’re settled.
- If your card is rejected, move to another ATM brand/operator before assuming your bank blocked the transaction—RIX has multiple ATM networks and a second machine can succeed.
- When arriving in winter or during bad weather, do your withdrawal before exiting—re-entering with luggage can be inconvenient, and the landside ATMs are positioned before you hit the outdoor taxi/bus areas.
FAQs – Riga Airport (RIX) ATMs
Are there ATMs inside Riga Airport (RIX) after I land?
Yes. Riga Airport has ATMs in the public Arrivals halls (landside), so you can withdraw euros soon after baggage claim and before heading outside.
Where are the easiest ATMs to find in RIX if I’m arriving on a Schengen flight?
Follow signs to Arrivals Hall E (public/landside). This is a common spot for ATMs because it’s where most arriving passengers exit and meet drivers.
Where are the easiest ATMs to find in RIX if I’m arriving from outside the Schengen Area?
After passport control, baggage claim, and customs, you enter the public arrivals area (commonly referenced as Arrivals Hall C). Look for “ATM” signage immediately in the public hall.
Is there an ATM in the transfer area at Riga Airport (RIX)?
Often, yes—many travelers use ATMs located in the main airside shopping corridor. A practical anchor is the zone between departure gates B and C (near the Transfer Centre), where services are concentrated.
Are Riga Airport ATMs open 24 hours?
Many airport ATMs are available 24/7, especially in the main public halls and core passenger corridors. Access can still depend on which part of the terminal you’re in (landside vs airside) and whether that area is open.
Do ATMs at RIX charge fees?
Some do. Fees (and exchange-rate options like DCC) are shown on the ATM screen before you confirm. If the fee is high, try another ATM brand/operator elsewhere in the terminal.
Should I use an airport currency exchange counter instead of an ATM at RIX?
If you want euros at a rate closer to the card network rate, many travelers prefer ATMs over airport exchange counters. If you must exchange cash, compare the posted rate and fees carefully.
What currency do Riga Airport ATMs dispense?
ATMs at Riga Airport dispense euros (EUR).
What if all airport ATMs are busy or out of service?
Use the embedded map to locate ATMs in Mārupe (near the airport) or withdraw in central Riga at major bank ATMs. This is a common backup plan if lines are long or a machine is temporarily unavailable.
