On the first floor you can find a grocery store "Rimi", some cafes.
From 2 - 6 floors: take a stroll and do some shopping.
7th floor: dining. I would recommend visiting "Gan Bei" (if you like Asian cuisine) and asking for a table at the windows to enjoy some Riga skyline.

Consejos para la ciudad
Qué empacar
If you're traveling to Riga in winter...
Even though temperatures tend to fluctuate, make sure you dress warmly. A hat, scarf, and warm jacket/ coat will keep you comfortable. It's also recommended to have a jacket/ coat with a hood as the wind chill can affect the temperature and feel dramatically.
And don't forget gloves or mittens! :)
When it comes to footwear, chose warm and waterproof boots/shoes with rubber soles to have a better grip to protect you from slippery surfaces.

Covid Restrictions
Latvia currently has one of the strictest Covid measures in Europe.
1. You must wear a medical mask or a respirator when in public places (such as a shop, museum, restaurant, public transit, etc.).
2. You can have a meal in a cafe or a restaurant if you have provided a valid Covid vaccination certificate (it will be scanned by a waiter, shop assistant, or a security guard).
3. When entering a store, everyone needs to take a shopping basket, a paper bag: this is how the stores keep track of how many people are in the store.
