  Always visit food markets when traveling... - Here in the former hangars, the surprise was great, very much alive where many people do their shopping for fish, meat and vegetables.The selection was plentiful and the fish section... read more was what made us linger the longest.Beautiful and tempting presentations of fresh ingredients.So different from the pre-packaged files from the grocery store.A few good fast food establishments are available, including a microbrewery.A short walk from the city.

  Massive markets are a must see in Riga  - The food markets located in the old Zeppelin hangers are a must see when visiting Riga. There are fruit stands on the outside and five hangers full of stalls... read more inside. We bought some berries and pastries for breakfast, but were unable to get any of the smoked meat, fish or sausages except for deli meat for sandwiches for our bus trip. I liked to just amble around and look at all the food items common in Riga that we don’t have access to in the U.S.

  Central Market at Christmas  - Great place we usually visit at Christmas time. Wide choice of everything you need at your table during holidays. Including presents.

  Huge! Go early. - Riga Central Market is situated in the heart of Riga, a short walk from the Old Town. It is one of the largest marketplaces in Eastern Europe. Huge!... read more Clean. I literally went to browse. At Riga Central Market, you can buy Latvian-grown and homemade products, exotic fruit and spices, as well as manufactured merchandise. The market includes various pavilions each with its own category from vegetables, dairy, meat, fish and gastronomy products, as well as an outdoor area with stalls and stands. There are also places where you can get a bite to eat. I went around 12:30 in the afternoon. It was busy, but not as busy as I expected. However, I would suggest going earlier. Most of the stalls were open but some of the fruit and vegetable stands were starting to close and produce was limited. I didn't experience it or feel threatened but I hear that pickpockets are rife so be careful with belongings.

  My visit to the Central Market  - Spent a few hours at the market in March but the weather was cold and not many vendors out on the street. Very close to the center of Riga... read more and to all public transportation. Definitely check it out 👍

  Really interesting place to go  - Not often do I go on a trip and end up spending hours walking through a food court. But the variety and unique offering of this place was worth the... read more time.
It is HUGE and full of everything from shoes to fish. Well worth taking a moment to get as near to real Latvia as being in Riga allows

  Amazing - I loved this place—the atmosphere, the food options, the vibrant colors, and its massive size! I definitely recommend it; it’s a great spot for a quick lunch.

  Worth a morning visit - Located 10 minutes walk from old quarter and station. Apparently buried market in Baltic’s spread across a number of market halls (one under renovation at visit) as well as many... read more stalls outside the falls. Foods, cafes, hardware, souvenirs across the halls. Like all local markets, worth a visit to see local produce. Best to go in the morning when produce is best and slightly quieter than early evenings apparently. .

  Experiencing the market - Super cool place! I loved seeing all the different varities of food and products. It's really mind blowing that it can still be done this way. But it was all... read more fresh and ready. I bought a few hats, and the natives were nice!
