description Mercado da Ribeira Overview
Mercado da Ribeira is a historic market hall located at Cais do Sodré in Lisbon, Portugal. Originally established as a wholesale and fresh produce market in the 19th century, its main building was reconstructed in 1930 after a fire. Today, the traditional wholesale fish and produce vendors operate alongside the Time Out Market Lisboa, a curated food hall introduced in 2014. This dual functionality makes it both a working market for local ingredients and a major culinary destination for visitors.
