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.

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!

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.

"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.
