The buildings, which today serve as market halls and have become a characteristic part of the Riga cityscape, were originally built in Kurzeme (Kurland), where they were used as zeppelin hangars by the German army in Vaiņode. Concrete cellars were built underneath the halls, forming a two-hectare underground city with a total of 337-meter-long corridors. Riga Central Market survived the reintroduction of capitalism and is now flourishing again. It gathers all kinds of people in the most colorful place in the city, where you can buy almost anything, but above all healthy, tasty, colorful and diverse products from the Latvian provinces.

In 1997 the market area was added to the UNESCO list of world cultural heritage together with the old town of Riga.

There is pretty much everything you can eat here. Everything looks very fresh and a stroll is a lot of fun.
