Experience Details

Embark on a flavorful journey through Riga Central Market, the largest in the Baltic States and a true gem of Europe. Housed in historic German Zeppelin hangars, this vibrant market has been a city landmark since the 1930s. Discover Latvia’s rich culinary heritage as you sample fresh and smoked fish, artisanal meats, creamy dairy, pickled delights, berries, and authentic rye bread. Please note that traditional Latvian cuisine is meat, fish, and dairy-focused, making it less suitable for vegans or vegetarians.

Yummy tour
July 01, 2026

This was a great tour. We got to sample many yummy dishes mixed in with some history and a walk through of the market. At the end we went to a local venue and had a sit down meal. A nice surprise.

The food in the tour was good rather than great, still worthwhile to sample local dishes.
