Great places for shopping in Russia in May (updated in 2024)

"Built in the 19th century, the mall is the largest shopping mall in Russia and one of the most fashionable leisure shopping places in Moscow. The three rows and three-story corridor shopping mall covers an area of nearly 25,000 square meters, and the number of shops is amazing. Even if you don't go shopping, it's worth a trip to visit the decoration and architecture of the mall alone."

"If you’ve been to St. Petersburg in Russia and Amsterdam in the Netherlands, you’ll definitely feel that these two cities look so much alike. As a mad admirer of Western European civilization, Peter the Great brought back the charming architecture and chic urban layout from the Netherlands, "re-engraved" another Amsterdam city on the Neva River. But he came back with him far more than that, a chance attempt at the banquet, let him unintentionally know the existence of potatoes, he felt that the plant native to the Americas tasted good, so "hands" brought them back. Nobody would have thought that Peter the Great's inadvertent move had greatly enriched the dining table of the citizens, and in Russia, there were more than 500 varieties of potatoes alone."

"The dinner here is the largest and most beautiful western restaurant on this trip, which can be eaten by many people at the same time. The environment is romantic and elegant, beautiful and comfortable, very European and American, but the variety is not too rich, and the taste of Western food is still not used to it, just full. The yogurt here is super unpalatable! depressed!"

"St. Petersburg, Russia is a very beautiful city, where the Neva River runs through the streets, and the facades of buildings are symbols of all colors."

"Very good shopping mall. It is about 100 meters away from Kursk subway station and it is very convenient to take the subway. The goods inside are very rich. Domestic students who buy on behalf of them can encounter a lot here, and the price of goods is much cheaper than domestic ones."

"The Hunter Mall is just a subway to the Hunter Mall Station. Belongs to an underground shopping mall, there are food and shops. There are a lot of Chinese goods here, the food is quite good, the price is not expensive, and the taste is quite good."

"As its name suggests, it is a two-story promenade shopping mall. It has a lot of history. There should be life and tourism goods. The exit of Metro Line 3 Circle Building Station is here, and you can also transfer to Line 2 Neva Street Station."

"The business hours are still very long. I looked at the sign and it was about 11 o'clock to close. This is already very good for Russia, which has few people. Then although the mall is not big, there will be restaurants, and then the restaurant also has a hookah and a non-smokers area."

"The book building is the largest bookstore in St. Petersburg. The scale is very large. For my kind of people who don't know Russian and have limited English, I just took a look at the flowers. If you are interested, you can go shopping."

"The bookstore was in a quaint building on Nevsky Avenue. They were doing auctions when we went. We crowded in to see, what souvenirs to buy? Inside, some more distinctive Russian St. Petersburg chocolates, Putin chocolates, etc. Books and some pictures are in Russian. We don't understand, so we don't buy them."
