Embark on the Echoes of Resilience: A Journey Through Latgales Chronicles

Behind the Art Deco walls of Riga Central Market, a world of secret trades and wartime intrigue once thrived in plain sight.

This self-guided audio tour peels back the city’s bright layers to reveal hidden tales among market stalls, quiet Red Barns, and Riga’s storied avenues. Discover how everyday corners conceal the scandals, uprisings, and legends most visitors never glimpse.

Which leader vanished without a trace after a market night raid? Why did whispers of forbidden deals echo through the Red Barns during occupation years? Who stashed a golden violin behind barrels of sauerkraut?

Trace every clue on foot as you wind through fragrant bazaars, cobbled alleys, and hidden warehouses. Move from high drama to quiet secrets—each step casting Riga in striking new light.

Unlock Riga’s boldest mysteries. Press play and plunge into the stories that pulse beneath the market’s bustling heart.
