Shopping in Riga
Yes you can officially drop the empty shelves cliche of the old Eastern bloc - it's about twenty years out of date after all.
These days you'll find Riga offers all the variety and quality you would expect of a city approaching 1 million in size, and you can have plenty of fun shopping for familiar brands in spanking new shopping centres. Be warned however that Western labels are something of a status symbol in Latvia and as such they can be more expensive than back home. Bargain hunters might prefer to see what reputable national stores offer - or for real cut price deals check out the Riga Central Market.
Reviews about Shopping in Riga
Great selection of items, always nicely made. We come here every time we visit Riga and I leave with a bag full of goodies. Every friend of mine has a toy for their baby! Reasonable prices.
Great shopping area in Old Riga. Latvian shoes designer Elina Dobele made best models ever, and of course German brand van Laack- great shirt collection and pleasure personal.
Great place to give away something you don't need and find something you need, but someone else doesn't.
This store is pretty darn good. Shopping here is like shopping in new york or paris , or any city with quality dept stores. And there are shoppers other than Latvians.
