  2. Detsky Mir

    This mammoth store - `Children's World' in English - was the premier toy store during Soviet times. Now Detsky Mir has a mix of imported and Russian-produced toys, along with well-stocked sporting goods and house wares departments (and other toys for adults).

  3. Ivan Tsarevich

    One of many souvenir shops on the Arbat, with little to choose between them. This touristy area is probably not the best place to buy souvenirs, as prices are high and bargaining is non-existent. But the selection is decent, in case you don't have time to go out to Izmailovsky Park.

  4. World Of New Russians

    Stocks a wide range of overpriced but amusing gifts, mostly traditional Russian items with a New Russian theme (the Gzhel mobile phone, for example).
