1.Latvian food tasting tour at Riga Central market

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 241 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $44Our pick

Spend about two hours walking through all five historic Zeppelin hangars at Riga Central Market with a small group and guide Guna. You’ll sample Latvian meats, fish, cheeses, rye bread, pickles, sweets, peas, and local drinks. Tastings can amount to a light meal, though the tour is not sold as lunch.

“The meeting place was 500 meters from the market! It would have been easier to meet AT the market. There were too many people (22) and you could not hear most of what was said. The food samplings were: a smoked drumstick, raspberries, a shot of a local liquor, a bottle of water, grey peas and meat, a piece of candy, 2 pieces of cheese, 3 small pieces of bread with spreads (hemp, dried tomato, garlic/cheese, more cheese, pickled vegetables and fish with bubbly white wine, rye truffle and a danish pastry”
