A
Izmaylovo Market
This sprawling area, also known as Vernisazh market, is packed with art, handmade crafts, antiques, Soviet paraphernalia and just about anything you might want for a souvenir. You’ll find Moscow’s biggest original range of matryoshki, palekh and khokhloma ware, as well as less traditional woodworking crafts. There are also rugs from the Caucasus and Central Asia, pottery, linens, jewellery, fur hats, chess sets, toys, Soviet posters and much more. Feel free to negotiate, but don’t expect vendors to come down more than 10%. This place is technically open every day, but many vendors come out only on weekends, when your selection is greater.

Art Stalls
Many artists set up their stalls on Krymsky Val opposite the entrance to Gorky Park, particularly on Saturday and Sunday. Unlike at Izmailovsky Park, this is more arts than crafts.

C
Vernisazh Market
Good value, but rather far-flung, this market has a huge collection of handicrafts, knick-knacks, souvenirs, clothing and art.
