Riga Central Market

Riga Central Market is situated in the heart of Riga, a few hundred meters from Old Town on the banks of the River Daugava, next to Riga International Bus Terminal and Central Railway Station. It is not only one of the largest marketplaces in Eastern Europe in area, but also one of the most visited, as 80,000-100,000 people shop there per day on the average. I’ve been to markets in every major European city, and I have to say this one is the largest and cleanest one I’ve visited. The WCs and abundant indoor seating inside the four airplane hangars. Well organized by food type, and outdoors has both farm stands and clothing/household vendors. A must-see!
