Moscow Markets: Food and Handicrafts
Markets in Moscow range from food stalls to handicrafts and secondhand goods. Their selection and atmosphere vary by location, offering a different shopping experience from large department stores and shopping streets.
Food and regional products
Food markets bring together fresh produce, packaged specialties, and small food vendors. Seasonal and regional products can shape what’s on offer.
Handicrafts and unique finds
Markets specializing in handicrafts and secondhand goods feature decorative items, textiles, and collectibles. They complement souvenir shops in the city center when you’re looking for gifts to take home; find out more on the page Moscow Souvenirs.
Combine a market visit with a city walk
A market visit can be combined with a walk around the neighborhood. The page on Shopping in Moscow introduces department stores and shopping streets; for shops and cafés in the city center, the Arbat is another good option.
