Although less central than the other ones, this humble outdoor market near Preobrazhenskaya Ploshchad metro station provides an authentic Russian experience, as well as possibly the best value for money if you’re serious about doing your weekly grocery shopping in a market environment. The variety is not only big and good, it’s huge and amazing! Muscovites can hardly believe the prices. Where else can you buy blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries for as cheap as 150Rbl per punnet when they normally go for three times that price in supermarkets? Avocados that usually cost around 100Rbl a piece in Moscow shops can be bought here about three times cheaper. It’s not just the locals who frequent this market. Owners of famous Moscow cafes and brand managers of top restaurants do their shopping here.
