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.

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!

Run by a beer enthusiast, the conversation is as good as the products. In fact you might end up staying and enjoying your purchase at the counter and improving your knowledge of all things beer related. It is also one of the few place to find some specific Latvian and Estonian microbrews.

It's located in a bookstore so before having your favorite coffee and chocolate you can grab a book as well. No one will be skeptical if you sit in for too long. Take your time and indulge, maybe even grab a souvenir to-go as well?

"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’ll find open air markets, concerts, movie nights and small festivals held almost every week. It’s also worth a visit for the slow food restaurant, getting a good Italian wine in the wine store, checking out the gallery, staying the night at the manor house or simply enjoying the friendly people.

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!

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.

If you want to bring home something that says "made in Latvia" then this is one of those few places to get it. I don't know what will happen when my friends will find out where I get most of the presents for them!

In is soma days when a factory produces chocolate and the wind is blowing from right side surrounding streets fills up with chocolate aroma. Bitter, sweetish aroma. I suggest starting aroma hunting from Palidzibas street. Not every day you can get the smell. After that you take a tour of the museum and sit in a local chocolate shop.
