“Krāminieks” flea market at Āgenskalns market

Every Saturday and Sunday, collectors of antiquities, neighbouring children, senior citizens, dogs and street food trucks gather for a chat in the yard of Āgenskalns market. “Krāminieks” flea market offers antiquities from previous decades – analogue photo cameras, garage tools, bicycles, antique postcards, stamps and posters, binoculars and other exciting objects with a story. And when you get tired from browsing, you can take a break by getting yourself a treat from the market’s food hall.

Historical highlight

Āgenskalns Market is one of Riga’s oldest and most culturally significant neighbourhood markets, first opened at the end of the 19th century. Its striking brick pavilion has long served as a central gathering place for local residents, connecting farmers, craftsmen, and city dwellers through everyday trade. After an extensive restoration, the market has been revived as a modern community hub, preserving its historic character while welcoming new cultural events, food stands, and markets like Krāminieks that keep its lively traditions alive.
