The Riga Technical University Open will be held at ​the expansive "Kipsala" International Exhibition ​Centre, the leading exhibition venue in the Baltics. ​This well-established venue is the traditional home ​for our tournament and will be hosting us for the ​tenth time.

The playing hall is 5'700 m2 in size and provides not ​only excellent playing conditions but also facilities ​such as a cafeteria, parking area, ATM, and more.

The exhibition centre is located on an island called ​Kipsala, only 2 km away from the city's old town. ​Within a few hundred meters from the venue, ​there is a beautiful riverside area that includes a ​small beach and a playground for kids. The venue is ​conveniently located near public transportation ​stops, RTU Hostel, and Islande Hotel.
