Izmaylovo Flea Market
This flea market goes back to the 17th century and still is one of the largest in Eastern Europe. Traders from the whole Russia come to this lively market where you can find all sorts of crafts, souvenirs and memorabilia. Faux furs and typical Russian fur cap called ushanka, bijous with stones from the Baltic sea, souvenirs, objects from the Soviet era, decor items, war memorabilia, vodka, carpets and so on. It is a true Russian place, even though you will also see visitors around, prices are much better than central Moscow and it is a fun way to have a Russian experience. Weekends are better than weekdays (fewer stalls), and it takes only 30min by subway/train from city center.
