The market is amazing, with 5 halls, each with their own theme (such as meat, fish etc). Surrounded by a marketplace full of tables. I was pleasantly surprised of the quality and sheer size of it.

One of the biggest markets in Europe , built from abandoned German 1st World War Zeppelin hangars . Try cottage cheese snack "Kārums" in Milk Pavilion and ask for sauerkraut juice in Vegetable pavilion .

Beautiful, huge market where locals get their food - since 1930. Look out for the grandma's that have probably bought their tomatoes here since they were little girls!

Michelle Rose Domb

Carlo Becchi

Regardless the fact that you need or not to buy something, this huge market housed in former zeppelin ' s hangars it's a must - see. For residents, this is the main source of fresh and tasty food.

Ginta Lavina

Europes largest market and bazaar, built in the beginning of 20th century, hosting more than 3000 trade stands. If you go there, try not to look like tourists , and please take care of your belongings.

Raimonds Butkāns

Wide choice of fruits , vegetables , meats, fish , dairy... Doughnut shop inside one of the pavilions is to try. Also Uzbek bakery between fish and vegetable pavilions .

Dieter Stelljes

Impressing, but a lot of empty booth places. Local café seems not to like tourists (just ignored us). Meat, cheese and fish unlimited. Fresh veggies and fruits outdoors. Worth a visit!

Yvonne Lin

It's a super big market , you can find many cheap food, vegetable , fruit , bread , cakes , meat and fish there. Even a cup of coffee :)

Susanna An

Def worth a perusal. Good is cheap and tasty. Apple/cinnamon braided bread/pastry is great, so is the sweet bread with yellow cream. Check out "NON"; they have excellent samsas

Carl Griffin

Wonderful selection of stalls. Can get some genuine local dishes here.

M H

Great variety of fresh food . Locals come here to get meat, veggies , cheese or fish at cheap prices.

Bstar

The choice is the one what makes this place special. Didn't like it at one counter, just get to another one. Also great bonus - Spanish shops, the wine , olives and tuna .

Jenna Rose Robbins

More an overhyped farmers market-cum-flea market than anything else. The architecture (former hangars ) is the real draw, unless you're dying to stock up on veggies and cheese .

#UltimateRiga: Wonder around the endless pavilions of an enormous food market and grab tasty local products - look for the longest lines inside pavilions and make sure it's not imported.

Irina Semova

Prices in the outer rows are much higher than inside..walk a bit more closer to the flower stand and Spikeri side and you will see the difference

Viesturs Kančs

Don't forget to ask for a glass of cabbage juice in the vegetable pavillion. Daily dose of vitamin C!

Alfred Strahlberg

Best place in Riga for buying fruit , vegetables , meat and fish ...largest market of its kind in the Baltics

Giedrė Tiškevičiūtė

Erik Eriksson

Problably the largest farmers market in Riga. A great place to get fresh produce and groceries .

Anton Klink

Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables for good prices. Be sure to bargain as well .

Alfred Strahlberg

Good place for fresh fruit , vegetables , meat and fish . Landmark of Riga and unique shopping experience.

Jan Spacir

Whole meal for 1.5 Ls or even less? It's here, try the rows most further from the middle. Of course don't expect any English or credit card/euro payments :)

Daniela Cony

This Market has an incredible composition because every department is quite specific, and the building is very impressive.

Andreas Bränström

I have not seen a larger market in Europe . Busy and exciting!

Hanneke Fialka

If you like to look at food and want to see what produce Riga has to offer, this is the place. Too bad the stalls don't sell prepared food. We had hoped to get lunch here but were disappointed.

Simone P.

Fish market it's my dream place, fresh fish , various kind of ikra & much more, Amazing... :)

The best place for local seasonal goods..
