Riga's Central Market is within walking distance from Riga's Old Town. He should definitely be on the list of places to visit in Riga. The market halls are located in halls consisting of half-arches. This can be seen very well from the viewing platform of the church of St. Peter from a height of 72 m. These halls were in the 1. World War II in Germany the hangars for zeppelins, which were used as weapons of war. After 1. In World War II, they were sold to Riga in a “swords to ploughshares” campaign to serve as market halls. Outside there are stalls with fresh fruit and vegetables. Impressive are the stalls with fish inside the market halls, especially smoked fish, which can also be bought cheaply here.

Fantastically fun with great guides. We had originally booked for a group of eight of us. But given certain circumstances that shrink to five. The guides were very accommodating and made sure we had a blast. Would absolutely recommend this and would do it again.

I loved visiting the central market. The food was great quality and the price was great. It was a great experience overall. One of the buildings had some construction, but other than that it was good.
