Description

Come and experience the true taste of Latvia with a guided tour to the Riga Central Market, the largest in the Baltic States and one of Europe’s most remarkable markets. Located in the iconic German Zeppelin hangars, a city landmark since the 1930s, this vibrant market offers an extraordinary array of Latvian flavours and products. Discover fresh and smoked fish, artisanal meats, dairy delights, pickled and fresh vegetables, berries, fruit, authentic rye bread, and much more. Important: !!! OUR MEETING POINT IS OLD TOWN, HOUSE OF BLACK HEADS (Ratslaukums 7)!!! Please note that traditional Latvian food heavily features meat, fish, and dairy products, making it less suited for vegans or vegetarians. We recommend considering this when booking the tour. Let our expert guide lead you through this colourful world of aromas and tastes, sharing the stories behind these local specialities. This is more than a market—it’s a journey into the heart of Latvian culture and tradition. This is a group tour with a minimum of 2 participants. In case of insufficient bookings: we will offer you another date if available, you can choose to upgrade to a private tour or the tour will be cancelled with a full refund issued. During the high season, booking 2 days in advance or earlier is highly appreciated!
