  • We couldn't resist a food tour at Riga Central Market, the largest food market in all of Europe! The market is built in 5 zeppelin hangars, and is included with Riga Old Town as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
    After arriving in the food court hangar (Centrālais Gastro Tirgus), we were overwhelmed with the sheer amount of food to choose from. We ended up trying some really delicious foods and having an awesome day at Riga Central Market. This is by far one of the top things to do in Riga!
    Thanks so much for watching! Don’t forget to like and subscribe :)

    Hey guys! A great vlog :) If you are still in Latvia, please do try to visit some medieval German crusaders castles outside Riga, for example Sigulda-Turaida, Cesis (the capital of the Livonian Order), castle of Bauska. Or a beautiful 18th century baroque palace of Rundale, it is staining, like Versailles in France, it was build for a Duke of Kurland - Ernst Johann von Biron ( a lover of a Russian empress Anna and regent of the Russian Empire 1740), for example HBO series Catherine The Grate (which is now on) was filmed there and resent BBC series War an Pace as well.
    Also a little town of Kuldiga is like a frozen history, it barely changed since the 18th century and looks like something from a fairy-tale, also in Kuldiga you can find the widest waterfall in Europe. And of course, everywhere you go you can try some local food and beer, even some local vine (the most northern in the world) :)
    Latvia is a relatively small country, so you can get anywhere in the morning by bus or a train and get back to Riga in the evening.
    Enjoy Latvia :)

    We love to make fries from fresh potato which is much more flavourful and not so dry as store bought frozen ones. Using dried herbs in the oil adds to the flavour along with the fresh ones on top.
    With two weeks in Latvia you'll get so fat not being able to resist all the food and you'll love it! :D

    Those aren’t exactly french fries because they are not deep fried in oil. They are cooked on a regular cooking pan and not in deep fryer. So they aren’t as dry and burnt but nice and soft and actually tastes like a potato.
