Halės Market
Halės turgus
A historic covered market with an iron-and-glass roof, completed in 1906. Smoked meats, cheeses, and rye bread are sold on the ground floor, and the upper floor is a popular food hall.
Halės Market is a few hundred meters south of the Gate of Dawn and is Vilnius's oldest covered market. Its iron-and-glass roof, completed in 1906, is well preserved. Stalls sell Lithuanian smoked meats, sausages, farmhouse cheeses (such as fresh curd cheese flavored with caraway), rye bread, honey, and pickles at reasonable prices. It is a great place to experience everyday local life. In recent years, several snack stalls and bars have opened in one corner and on the upper floor, and it is especially lively on weekend evenings. The market is closed on Mondays, and the selection is best in the morning.
