Riga Christmas Market

Riga, a city steeped in Christmas tradition, opens its arms to a wave of visitors for its Christmas market. Boasting low prices and small town coziness, Riga is great for good value atmosphere and a hint of exoticism. The market is held in the city's Old Town, and features intricate hand carved woodwork, linens, food stalls and some great restaurants. The market also offers many small workshops where you can buy direct from the craftsmen and women.
