Why Go
The market opened in 1930 in hangars that had housed Zeppelin airships in the First World War, moved here from western Latvia. Each pavilion has its own trade: meat, fish, dairy, vegetables and gastronomy, with stalls spilling outside in summer.
It's part of Riga's UNESCO World Heritage site, and the food court inside serves Latvian dishes.
