    We wandered into several antique stores in the new section of town, some were priced very highly but we found one with old Soviet stuff-Moscow olympic stuff, tea holders, pins, hats, Lenin busts, etc.

    I bought a couple of Misha figurines (the Moscow Olympic bear mascot), several new compacts with Russian designs on them, some Soviet pins and an old US advertising tin.

    Small firm's shops in many places in The Old Riga: Chocolate by "Laima"
  • Tip Rating:
  • "Laima"s chocolate can buy in each shop. There are many small shops in the Old Riga. In the photo is one of "Laima"s shops.

    Chocolates, assorted chocolates, sticks of chocolate, bars of chocolate. Very delicious dark chocolate!

    Democratic prices: for the classical assorted chocolates you will pay 1,50Ls (2,25EUR)

    Go to the Central Market
  • Tip Rating:
  • Riga's central market, 5 palivion's of meats, dairy, veg, grocery and fish.

    See my travel log for my pics and info.

    Whatever takes your fancy, some of the sellers will even let you try abit of the food you want, before you buy. Great if you like me and likes trying new foods.

    Prices are really good, so you don't have to worry about it. Maybe certain items will be expensive, like certain types of Fresh Fish or some meats. But in General you should be fine.

    Any Souvenir Shops: What to bring from Latvia?
  • Tip Rating:
  • Any Souvenir Shop

    Latvian linen which is significantly cheaper compared to European prices.

    Riga Black Balsam - a historical liqueur prepared from herbs, flowers, juices and medicinal roots (includes 24 ingredients).

    Amber , the so called "Baltic Gold" is a very symbolic Latvian souvenir. It comes in very different qualities and colours.

    Woolen sweaters, mittens and socks with Latvian folk symbols. As per my experience, these are the most appreciated gifts by all my foreign friends!!!

    Central Market: Shopping in the Zeppelin hangars
  • Tip Rating:
  • There's a little bit of everything underneath these 5 zeppelin hangars but it is mostly every type of food imaginable-fish (you can smell that at least one hangar over!), meat, produce, dairy and candies. All we came back with was some Russian chocolates but you really should go for the experience of being in a huge bustling market with all the local folks.
