Laima

Birmingham has Cadbury, Charlie has Willy Wonka's - and Laima is Riga's contribution to the world's greatest chocolate factories. It is in fact about more than just chocolate, as the company also produces the city's favourite brands of biscuits and candies. Right at the very top of the line is Fantāzija, the luxury chocolate mix, but you can find Laima products at many outlets in Riga. Trips to the factory have to be booked in advance, and only two tours are allowed each day. Visit the website for information about how to book your place.
