Itinerary:

From bustling markets to quirky cafes, the Latvian capital is packed to the brim with food destinations, so discover it all on this Riga tour. Set off from the Riga Central Market, a huge local marketplace housed within five old zeppelin hangars. Try your hand at haggling for fresh fruit, cheese or berries and taste some locally produced dairy products. This is the ideal place to get off the beaten track and witness everyday Latvian life.

Leave the market behind to stroll around the wealth of cafes, bakeries, bars and small grocery stores that dot the city. Grab the chance to taste a range of seasonal Latvian food specialties: fresh cottage cheese with dill, amazingly cooked deer meat, sweet blueberry pie, creamy ice-creams, locally brewed beer and, of course, Riga Balsam - an ultimate Riga travel experience.

If your visit falls on the second or fourth Saturday of the month, there will also be the chance to visit the Riga Slow Food market. Here, local farmers and craftspeople gather to sell their products, and you can shop alongside the locals for amazing fresh produce and a range of tasty treats. Be sure to ask your Riga guide for some local favourites!

No matter the time of year, or the day of the week, this Riga food tour is a delight for anyone interested in the flavours of Latvia, and is sure to leave you with a full belly and a smile on your face.

Tipping:

If you are happy with the services provided by your local guides and drivers a tip - though not compulsory - is appropriate. While it may not be customary to you, it is of great significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels, inspires excellent service, and is an entrenched feature of the tourism industry across many Intrepid Urban Adventures destinations. Please consider this when budgeting for your extra expenses on this tour
