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.

  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.

  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.

  Interesting meander.  - An expansive market in 5 hangers where zeppelins were made - pretty cool setting. It continues outside to be the largest in Europe. A draw for locals as much as... read more tourists. The food area is one to explore and is great for lunch. Busier in the morning as the stalls start to wind down from early afternoon.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  Riga Central Market  - Excellent food market . From fish, meat , vegetables and flowers it has everything . Lots of retail outlets on upper floors selling typical market trinkets and clothing.

  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.
