At the Laima Chocolate Museum on Riga’s Miera iela, you can follow chocolate from its ingredients to the finished sweet, try a hot chocolate drink and book a session to make your own chocolates. It’s a compact indoor stop for a rainy afternoon, or a reason to make time for a part of Riga beyond the Old Town.
🍫 What to look for in the museum
Start with the ingredients and compare what goes into different kinds of chocolate. Then follow the steps that turn them into a finished product. The Latvia tourism guide describes the visit as a mix of looking, listening and tasting. If you’re visiting on your own, the museum offers a €3 audio guide in English and several other languages.
🧑🍳 Make chocolates in a booked workshop
The museum lists a €13 chocolate masterclass of up to an hour. For groups of 10 to 25, the museum also lists a guided visit and masterclass lasting about two hours, priced at €19 for adults, seniors and students and €17 for children. The workshop gives you a chance to make chocolates and take them with you.
Reserve before you go. The museum takes bookings at [email protected] or +371 66154777. Ask for a session that suits your party size and preferred language, and check ingredients in advance if anyone has dietary requirements.
