Izmailovsky flea market
Izmailovsky flea market Review
You could easily spend a whole day at Moscow's Izmailovsky Park, with its reasonably priced souvenirs, handicrafts, used books, and such Soviet memorabilia as authentic army belts and gas masks. Matryoshki (nesting dolls) come in both classic and nouveau styles: some bear likenesses of Soviet and Russian leaders; others depict American basketball stars and George W. Bush. Nearby is the former royal residence of Izmailovo, situated in an old hunting preserve. The flea market is open weekends 9-6, but it's best to get here early. Many vendors close down by midday.
- Address: Take the metro to Partizanskaya station and follow crowds as you exit, Eastern Outskirts, Moscow
- Location: Moscow
