Riga

Riga Region · Latvia

Admission and costs
The street and square market is free to enter. Food, drinks and purchases are paid for at individual stalls; the museum suggested for rainy weather has its own admission.
Getting there
From Rīga Centrālā station, walk towards the old town through the 13. janvāra iela area. Follow Rātslaukums and then Doma laukums: Dome Square hosts the market, separate from the museum visit at the House of the Black Heads.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
The House of the Black Heads, Rātslaukums 7, offers an indoor visit through reconstructed historic interiors. It has its own museum ticket and hours; it is not a covered section of the Doma laukums market.

Bern

Canton of Bern · Switzerland

Admission and costs
The street and square market is free to enter. Food, drinks and purchases are paid for at individual stalls; the museum suggested for rainy weather has its own admission.
Getting there
From Bern station, enter the old town along Spitalgasse and reach Waisenhausplatz. Continue on foot towards Zytglogge, Kramgasse and Münsterplatz: the markets have separate calendars, so the squares remain the route’s landmarks while the open stalls change.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
Einsteinhaus, Kramgasse 49, is a small indoor museum stop on the route, with its own admission and hours. The arcades provide shelter along the walk, but do not make the entire itinerary covered.
