Riga managed to escape the fate of many cities during WWII and it's medieval Old Town and Art Nouveau district are largely intact. The Art Nouveau district is fascinating and gives much of the city a very Parisian feel.
The fish market is part of the city market which is housed in 5 old WW1 zeppelin hangers. The fish market fills one of these and contains an amazing array of fish. The fish is all very fresh. As I entered the market I meet a fish trying to flap his way to freedom along the floor. All to no avail as he was quickly captured and returned to the stall. The fish are actually kept in tanks behind the stalls and the placed on the stall for sale. Very fresh indeed.
