Riga Food Tour of Riga Central Market
Riga
2 hours
Yes, of course my guests like to say that they had their fill, but there is more to it than food. On the way through the Pavilions and subterranean corridors of the gigantic market, I will spice up the narrative with small funny stories, and you get an insight into what a "democratic meeting place" the Central Market is. People from all walks of life, rich and poor, meet here. The market is in every sense a really colorful place!
