Riga central market is Europe's largest!
The Riga central market is a must visit for local Latvian delicacies and food. It is Europe's largest market by space and was built in 1930, making it nearly a century old!
Inside you will find lots of vendors selling snacks and drinks, and the hangars are divided by food type, fish, meats, and gastronomy. It is a convenient location, situated next to the Riga bus station.
