A
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.

Rostov is an arts-and-crafts centre, so don’t leave without stopping at the gift shop in the kremlin to shop for finift (enamel) souvenirs and to sample the home-brewed medovukha (mead).

There’s a well-stocked souvenir market diagonally across the canal from the Church of the Saviour on Spilled Blood. A certain amount of bartering is perfectly acceptable.
