Latvia · LATVIAN FOOD & MARKET TOURS
Latvian food is smoked, pickled, black-breaded and much better than its reputation, and the Central Market is where you meet all of it at once. These 7 walks are priced by how much you actually eat, with a note on which ones end with Black Balsam and which turn into a full lunch.
