Welcome to
Riga Central Market

  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!

  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

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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. .

  Nice food and beers - We visited here twice, to shop and have lunch. The Souvenir kiosks and quite small, some are packed, so quite difficult to see everything. 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.

  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.
