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. Our expert guide will immerse you in the stories behind these local flavors, making this tour not just a tasting experience, but a deep dive into Latvia’s culture and traditions.

This tour requires a minimum of 3 participants to operate. If there are fewer than 3 participants, we will offer you the option to rebook for the closest available tour, cancel your booking for a full refund, or upgrade to a private tour.
