Join me on this special day as I continue the Christmas vibe with my Subscriber David in Riga Latvia.
Riga looks amazing in white and we head to the Old Town of Riga for the opening of the 2023 Christmas Market.
We meet the nice locals, the friendly vendors and enjoy some local specialities to keep us warm.
If you enjoy adventure videos from the former Soviet Union and Central & Eastern Europe, then grab your vodka, some zakusky and join me as we drink our way around the 2023 Riga Christmas Market in Latvia.
Thank you to all my Patreons for your support and helping make this channel what it is!

    I have been to Riga twice myself. It is interesting to note the high level of English being spoken on the streets. Funny thing really as everybody uses our language but we are outside of the E.U.-there is a kind of a message in all of that.
