  Riga Central Market - Interesting Central Market right by the bus and railways stations in old world war 2 hangars. Each hangar has a speciality (fish, meat etc) whilst the market continues outside of... read more the hangars as well. Well worth a visit.

  Huge market with everything  - Something for everyone, local & tourist.
So many food options, meat market, fish market, cheese, spices etc

An assault on the senses, but definitely worth a visit

  Loved it.  - Probably my favorite thing I did in Riga, love going to these types of markets when I visit major cities and seeing what the locals eat.

It's a large... read more area over multiple sheds, each have a great range of things being sold, catering for mainly locals you get great prices and variety, I had lunch here most days and the choices were very good.

Note that it's not just inside but outside stalls, also great for daily fruit and veggies!!

  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.

  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.

  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!

  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

  Massive food market  - This massive food market complex is worth to visit. They sell local products from fish to cheese, fruits and vegetables. Close by they also sell other items for example clothes... read more and since we visited during the Christmas season they had also a lot of seasonal products. There is a quite big food court with several diverse small restaurants/bars but we didn´t eat there as it was not our time for a meal and we wanted to continue exploring the city.

  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.
