I visited the Izmailovo Market back in ’00, and it was an absolute blast – even if it was February, and the muck on my boots was inches thick in the end. I purchased – for a good price, of course – some small handcrafted ceramic plates from Uzbekistan that I cherish to this day, remembering the visit each time... more

Contrary to the Lonely Planet guidebook, I will advise you to bargain aggressively. The merchants have learned to rip off tourists. I was able to talk the guy down to 40% his original price when I made a purchase; yet, there were sometimes "honest" merchants who didn't jack up the price. So look around before reaching for your wallet. The... more

You can easily spend the better part of a day just wandering around... more

You really don't want to go to Moscow without visiting this place. It has EVERYTHING! Any kind of nesting doll is available and if you can't find what you're looking for, you can bring them your own designs and they will paint them for you. I'm a graduate from Texas A&M University and they even had Aggie nesting dolls. This... more
