If you've always wondered what goes on in those strange semi-cylindrical buildings near the bus station, then ponder no longer.
The Baltic's largest market place has occupied these converted Zeppelin hangars since its inaugural year in 1930, and still retains the lively feel of a traditional trade emporium. Each of the five hangars, or 'pavilions', has a different speciality - such as meat, fish, groceries and dairy products, whilst a number of stalls and canopies around the hangars sell everything from fresh produce to cheap socks and dodgy DVDs. Head down for a touch of shopping or chalk it up as a cultural experience.
