Riga Shopping

This chocolatier is a must-stop for classic and contemporary chocolate masterpieces, all hand-crafted from the finest ingredients.

Quirky jewelry, home décor items, books, and cards fill this tiny shop. An idiosyncratic upstairs bar caters to an artistically diverse crowd.

The musty, 2nd floor interior of this used leather goods shop is not for the faint-hearted. The brave, however, will be rewarded with affordable suede and leather jackets from the last three decades. Their fur hats are especially useful in winter.

The only retail outlet for the last remaining Latvian linen factory in Jelgava, Larelini sells a range of colors and textures by the meter. The ready-made household table linen is of questionable taste, but the tea towels and bed linen are beautiful.

This branch of the “Upe” music retail and publishing house specialises in Latvian folk and world music, along with musical instruments, gifts, and toys.

Situated in a stylish quarter of the city, this bazaar holds everything from designer arts and craft shops to second-hand clothing boutiques. There’s even a worthy organic food market.

This Finnish Department store sells everything from Dockers to Tommy Hilfiger plus cosmetics and homeware. Check out the delicatessen downstairs for a dizzying range of Scandinavian fare.

Looking for statuesque gods and gargoyles to commemorate your trip? Head to this little shop for tasteful mementoes of Riga’s formidable architecture.
