Central MarketOne of the oldest and biggest of its kind, Riga's Central Market
dates back to 1201 and is a riot of sounds, sights and smells.
Anything from fresh fruits, cheeses and whole sheep carcasses, to
appliances, clothing and CDs are on offer, usually at very
reasonable prices. The market was moved from its original home and
relocated several times, but since the 1930s has occupied the same
space in several World War I hangars, close to the bus and train
stations. There is room for over 1,000 vendors, and no visit to
Riga is complete without a stroll through its tantalising
stalls.
