I literally went to browse. At Riga Central Market, you can buy Latvian-grown and homemade products, exotic fruit and spices, as well as manufactured merchandise. The market includes various pavilions each with its own category from vegetables, dairy, meat, fish and gastronomy products, as well as an outdoor area with stalls and stands. There are also places where you can get a bite to eat. I went around 12:30 in the afternoon. It was busy, but not as busy as I expected. However, I would suggest going earlier. Most of the stalls were open but some of the fruit and vegetable stands were starting to close and produce was limited. I didn't experience it or feel threatened but I hear that pickpockets are rife so be careful with belongings.

  Zeppelin hangers - honestly  - Do look up the history of these buildings - they are former Zeppelin sheds - cut down vertically.
And with a great market inside.

  Does what it says on the tin – it’s a marketplace.  - This marketplace is set in some old adjoining Zeppelin hangers and they sell lots of fruit, flowers, meat, clothes etc.
It is open every day, but can get crowded... read more in parts but is quite interesting to wander round and there is are tons of fruit there. As in all markets there are pick pockets operating according to the commentary on the canal boat ride that we took. Whilst you are there try some of the halvah there. I only knew that they had sesame ones but here there are many other types.
This is also a good place to have a snack/lunch as it’s cheaper than the old town area.
