  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. .

  Zeppelin hangers - honestly  - Do look up the history of these buildings - they are former Zeppelin sheds - cut down vertically.
And with a great market inside.

  Does what it says on the tin – it’s a marketplace.  - This marketplace is set in some old adjoining Zeppelin hangers and they sell lots of fruit, flowers, meat, clothes etc.
It is open every day, but can get crowded... read more in parts but is quite interesting to wander round and there is are tons of fruit there. As in all markets there are pick pockets operating according to the commentary on the canal boat ride that we took. Whilst you are there try some of the halvah there. I only knew that they had sesame ones but here there are many other types.
This is also a good place to have a snack/lunch as it’s cheaper than the old town area.

  This is a WHOA place! It is huge to say the least. Everything is very.. very.. fresh..vegetables, fruits, fish, meat.  - Everything is very fresh. The fruits, the vegetables, the fish.. and the variety of fish is just amazing. There are several bakeries and cheese makers and sellers.

  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.

  Nice  - Nice day out. Lots of different food. Traditional latvian food. Fresh fruit and veg and vendors where very helpfull. Good day out

  Good place for lunch  - Loved Riga’s Central Market. Located in the heart of Riga, former Zeppelin hangars, now transformed into food pavilions. Great mix of locals and tourists. The market is abundant with fresh... read more vegetables, fruits, and spices. Latvian meats, including ham and sausages, local fish and cheese. Tourists can enjoy local dishes like potato pancakes, pelmeni, and drink traditional kvass (non-alcoholic drink) and local 🍺 in cafes and quick-pick stores.

  Enormous food market not to be missed!  - It was interesting to walk through this enormous food market both inside and outside five enormous former zeppelin hangars.

The indoor market seems to have been updated since I... read more was here seven years ago as one of the halls now has a mezzanine floor and some of them now contain cafes and restaurants.

Well worth a visit for a look and to buy some local foods.
