Depending on what you’re looking for options start from the Shopping mall in the middle of The Old Town to some tasty music in vinyl to open air marketplaces popping up in different parts of the city offering you to get some real vintage items and hand-made fashion gems.
Not being famous for cheap shopping sprees in outlet stores, Riga still offers some good deals and high quality local products worth to try and bring home. If you’re looking for something special, one of a kind, artful, maybe vintage or real, pure eco products, it’s the place to look for them.

As it's name "mākonis" or "cloud" from Latvian, the place leaves you with a very light, up-in-the-air feeling. And then it comes with delicious meals, drinks from high-quality, self-made ingredients and bunch of adorable local designer works you can spot all around and buy as well. To top it all off - our favourite Illy coffee is present here.

One of the most interesting things to find here in a huge backyard surrounded by 120 years old wooden architecture is open air markets held every Saturday from 10 am til 4 pm. It’s also worth a visit for a slow food restaurant, enjoying friendly people or staying the night at the manor house.

Located in the block with quite a few nice spots to visit "MiiT" is pure locals' favorite where you can hang out with local creatives types in a place with neighborhood houseparty vibe. Even as a non-vegetarian myself this place is definitely high on the list when I'm thinking about a place to eat.

Alongside with the amazing and really unique crafts, there’s always an actual exhibition going on. And if you’re hungry, there's a marvelous cafeteria upstairs. Only five tables, each one with it’s own character and no menu - you’ll choose your meal while having a nice chat with the chef who will cook something just for you.

Berg Bazaar was Riga’s answer to the big trading arcades of Europe. Originally a high society living and shopping area, it still carries a bit of that vibe. Quiet place with great, reasonably priced restaurants, Latvian fashion, design and bakeries. Also an eco food market!

"The River" is more than a great CD/DVD/Vinyl store with a smart taste in music, boasting a great wine selection and coffee. Drop by for an intelligent conversation with people who love their trade. We'd say in some way "Upe" recreates the feel from Cameron Crowe's “Almost Famous” movie about rock'n'roll.

You can buy trash and treasures and haggle for bargains. Get anything from old books, Nazi daggers, Soviet records, cameras, bikes and even iPhones. Although the market itself caters mainly for hardware goods there are plenty of hidden gems between the metal and tools!

If you're into bikes and especially the fixed gear kind, this is your spot! Either get a whole bike or just some banging accessories for your old one. There's also a nice selection of skate shoes and apparel. As if all of this wasn't enough to get you in, they also can brew you some nice coffee to go.
