The most wonderful time of the year has returned, and with it, my journey to Europe’s Christmas markets—this time, through the heart of Central and Eastern Europe. I set out to explore how different cultures celebrate the season, visiting markets across five countries in just a few weeks. My sixth and final stop was Riga, Latvia. As I entered the Doma Market Square, I was instantly transported to one of the most magical Christmas villages, with food cooking on open fires and uniquely crafted market stalls, and here’s how it went…

  1. What a wonderful Christmas market in Riga! 🎄✨ The enchanting atmosphere, sparkling lights, and beautiful architecture make this city the perfect place to experience the magic of Christmas. Thank you for sharing this lovely tour! Best wishes, Chiara & Donato Fuoridalsentiero. Merry Christmas! 🎁

  2. Nice video, thanks!
    FYI 9:12 It’s “Dod pieci!” (High Five!) charity marathon, a part of an international project called “Serious Request”, in which radio DJs in different European countries broadcast for a week from a special glass studio, putting the focus on a specific group or socially relevant topic chosen by the charity marathon. Everyone is invited to donate in exchange for hearing their favourite song on the radio.

  3. The Agenskalns Tirgus (tirgus is Latvian for market) building is open everyday. The upstairs food court is open until late. The building is closed for cleaning on advertised days.

  4. An excellent video. A special call out to Andris Kreislers (the Director) and his team of the Old Riga Christmas Market. The market was set up in 2000 specifically to bring back holiday Christmas traditions in Latvia and keep it non commercialized and be an outlet for cottage industries while being a destination for Europeans to experience a real Christmas Market.
