概要

クイックファクト: Step into vast vaulted pavilions made from repurposed airship hangars, where stalls overflow with smoked fish, bright berries, and pungent cheeses that perfume the aisles. Regulars like to say you can taste the whole country in a single stroll, and over two million visitors pass through each year, far more than most expect from a neighbourhood market.

見どころ: Five cavernous metal pavilions were built from repurposed German World War I Zeppelin hangars, their corrugated roofs and arched steel ribs still echoing vendors' calls as crates of ruby-red tomatoes and strings of garlic gleam under hanging brass scales. In the fish pavilion the smoky, oily tang of freshly smoked nēģi hits you first, vendors slice it thin onto dense dark rye with a sprig of dill while customers haggle by the kilo and steam rises from kettles of black tea.

インサイダーヒント

Wear comfortable shoes and dress for variable indoor temperatures, especially in winter.
Bring small euro coins or notes and a reusable bag, many stalls do not take cards.
Photograph the striped brick hangars from Esplanāde for the most striking architectural shot.
Skip souvenir stalls near the tram stop and head deeper into the halls for authentic food sellers and better prices.
