  A huge food market - Riga Central Market was originally built to house Zeppelins . It is now a huge food market and a must visit.

  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.

  Nice stop for a quick bite to eat.  - As a tourist there's only really a few bits for you, however I think if you're a local the wide range of fresh produce is fantastic!

  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. .

  Interesting experience  - you get a good feel for local produce, masses of fruit veg, fish and meat. recomended experience.

  The Heart of Riga  - The market is incredible! There was a variety of produce at great prices. I had some strawberries and cherries that were to die for. There were also fun trinkets to... read more buy, like nesting dolls, amber jewelry, and beaver fur hats. The market is truly the heart of Riga and I would encourage anyone who has the change to go!

  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 👍

  Riga Market trip  - Really interesting market, we went in March and it was quiet, which was good. Different halls had different produce. The outside market is good as well.
