  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.

  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. There is prepared... read more food to eat there or to carry on. It is a WHOA place. Bring cash. Not all accept credit cards

The prices are... read more the same as the shops in the Old Town. We had a bread filled pie the first day, then Local soups the second time. We had beer from the Tap stall. Local beers are really cheap, so we did what the local people do, as hot drinks are more expensive.

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

  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 👍

  Amazingly interesting section of Riga. - Walking between the old city, across the canal, to the old railway station, through the market and all the way towards the art nouveau quarter is interesting and recommended. You... read more will see real people and real life.
We enjoyed fresh kvass , poziomki, pickles from the market.
