Izmailovsky Park






This park is one of the biggest ones in Europe covering nearly 12 sq km. Very popular weekend flea market can be found here too, about 20 minutes with a metro from the center. I am sure you will find interesting things to look at even if you are not planning to buy anything. Many tourists are shopping here because many of the items sold are good for souveniers: samovars, scarfs, coins, old caps from soviet army, medals, stamps, photographic equipments, books, matrjoshka dolls, painted wooden eggs, handicrafts, pictures of Lenin, flags, paintings, jewellery etc... So much of everything and they are much cheaper than in the centre.
