Largest market in the city.
In summer season go and see "Night Market" - place where locals are selling freshly collected mushrooms, berries, fruits, veggies, honey, bread and sometimes flowers. Prepare cash as no card payments accepted.
Will find it outside, away from Central station and closer to the river. Each night from 5pm till 10pm. If you are a foodie - its a must!

Kaņepes Culture Centre is not just a café or a club. The atmosphere there is alternative, various exhibitions, experimental art and culture events are often held there. But the undeniably artistic atmosphere and public of the café invite to bohemian entertainment. Kaņepes Culture Centre has its own yard gathering creative people on summer nights to enjoy the evening in a free atmosphere.
The building that houses Kaņepes Culture Centre is over 100 years old. Baltic German and Russian aristocrats used to organise social events there, it was a bohemian place at the time of free Latvian state, later it was occupied by students of the Art Academy. For some period the building was derelict, but Kaņepes Culture Centre is now restoring it.

The B-Bar restaurant is located in Riga’s historic central part, next to the Dome Cathedral.
A cocktail bar situated in the charming Art Nouveau section of inner city Riga at Strēlnieku 1a. Bar XIII is not just about fancy drinks, it is a fine place to dine, with talented master chef Reinis Strazdins in the kitchen. Bar XIII is Strazdins new domain, having spent 10 years in Riga's best restaurant - "Vincents".
Interior design concept for Bar XIII hails from London with its "metropolitan" feel and elements of 1960s Berlin, and the "Rīdzene" Hotel bar of the late 1980s with its stylishly kitschy copper/amber-tone light fixtures. A special attraction at Bar XIII is the Cigar room. Also, the bartenders offer masterclasses in old-fashioned and original cocktail-making for small groups.
By the way, Bar XIII was named the best bar in Riga at the 2015 "Platinum Platter Awards".

Great shop for special souveniers and gifts. Out of bunch of other souvenier shops can really recommend this shop as everything is authentic and made in Latvia! Owner of the shop personally knows every craftsman or artist whose works can be purchased in the shop.
We all know that very often souveniers are made in other countries, for cheap price and machine work and later sold as a handmade thing. Here you can be sure that the thing you buy is real. Plus - magical atmosphere guaranteed.
