Riga’s Old Town hosts one of the Baltics’ most atmospheric Christmas markets, centred on Dome Square beneath the towers of Riga Cathedral.
Expect artisan gifts, woollens and wooden toys, along with hearty Latvian dishes, gingerbread and steaming mulled wine. Choirs and folk performers bring warmth to crisp evenings, while children can meet animals at a small petting corner and join craft workshops. With additional pop‑up markets nearby, you can make a full day of browsing, sightseeing and café‑hopping within the UNESCO‑listed centre. It’s a classic festive city break—compact, great value and brimming with seasonal cheer.
