    A huge weekend market, crammed with every possible stall and dealer selling anything and everything you could think of taking home from Moscow as as souvenir of your time here. The variety and choice is fantastic.

    Whatever you are looking for, you will probably find it here. Matrioshkas (of course) in every shape and size, amber jewellery, wooden toys, Soviet memorabilia, gossamer fine hand-knitted scarves and shawls, fur hats, beautiful linens, original arts and crafts, carpets from the Caucasus and Central Asia -there truly is something for everyone.
    Prices are good and the quality is also.

    There is a small admission charge to the market, after that it's up to you what you spend.

    Some shop
    by TheWanderingCamel
    Luxury food halls such as KDW and Fortnum and Mason come as no surprise in Berlin and London. I don't know that you would really expect to find a similar place in Moscow -but there it is - the Yeliseyev Grocery Store. Crystal chandeliers, marble columns, ornate mouldings and mirrors, beautiful food, beautifully displayed. This has been the place for Moscow's gourmets to shop ever since it opened its doors in 1902 as "Yeliseyev's Emporium and Wine Cellar of Russian and Imported Wines". After the Revolution it was renamed, somewhat more prosaically, "Grocery Store No 1", but even then it was always referred to as Yeliseyev's, although it was only privileged members of the Party who could shop there. It's still the most beautiful shop in Moscow but now it's open to everyone.

    Izmaylovo Market
    by HORSCHECK
    The Izmaylovo Market is probably Moscow's biggest and most famous market area. You get almost everything here, from all sorts of souvenirs and handicrafts to antiques and carpets. Prices are said to be cheaper than in the city centre. Of course bargaining is expected. Apart from that Izmaylovo Market has many food stalls with local snacks. The market is open daily from 10 a.m to 5 p.m., but the weekend seems to be the best time for a visit.

  • Directions: The Izmaylovo Market is located northeast of the city centre (metro: Izmaylovskiy Market). When you come out of the station you see five blocks of the Izmaylovo hotel complex which was built for the 1980 Olympics. Just follow the crowds to the market.

    TSUM
    by kris-t, 1 more photos
    TSUM is one of the largest and most successful department stores in Russia. Central Universal Store (TSUM) is located in the very center of Moscow ? next to the Red Square and the Bolshoi Theater. Opening hours are 9 am till 10 pm Monday to Saturday, 9 am till 9 pm on Sunday.

    TSUM?s history started in 1885, when two entrepreneurs from Scotland, Archibald Mirielees and Andrew Muir opened the first department store in Russia. By the beginning of the XIX century it united over 80 departments and was one of the best in Europe together with Harrods in London. In 1922 the Soviet authorities made it the central store of the nation and from that time the store bears the name known to several generations of Muscovites ? TSUM. Nowadays it is equipped with modern lifts, state of art escalators and is decorated in accordance with the highest international standards.

    In 1992 TSUM changed its legal status and became an open joint stock venture. In 1995 it was decided to reconstruct the TSUM building in order to expand the sales grounds and optimize the structure of departments. The reconstruction cost TSUM about 22 million dollars.

    The GUM ist probably the best know department shop in Moscow. It stretches along Red Square opposite the Kremlin. It was built in the 19th century and houses over 1000 shops.
    When I first visited Moscow in 89, nearly all the shops had the same items on sale, nowadays you'll find all shops you will encounter everywhere else on the planet.

    Old Arbat Street is an old walking street located off the Arbatsyaka Metro stop, west of the Kremlin. This is a very big tourist destination to bring home goods from Moscow. You will find many things here, from tacky souvenir shops selling postcards and cheap matrioshka dolls, to nicer establishments selling Russian vodka and amber. There are also many street vendors selling tshirts, fur hats and old Soviet and KGB memoribilia in the forms of patches, pins and medals.

    Along Old Arbat are many cafes and restaurants as well. We ate at My-My and had a wonderful dinner here. Street performers are scattered along, playing their music, performing their tricks and trying to keep everyone entertained while making a buck for themselves.

    This is a good place to buy all those gifts for the poor souls you left back at home.
