Markets Saint-Petersburg (Санкт-Петербург)

The most popular market in Petersburg. There is also a curious antique shop in the market hall, which is impossible to miss. Pay attention to the babushkas selling solenias, flowers and herbs in front of the market entrance. Sometimes their goods are of better quality and always cheaper than in the stalls under the hall. In the near future, the market will be rebuilt and modernized like the European markets, but it is not yet clear when the work will start.

This market, which appeared in 1737 near the entrance to the town and specialized in the sale of hay, straw and wood, was once very large and very popular. Today, it is a very old school local market, frequented by the locals and very popular with Petersburg restaurateurs for supplies. All kinds of fresh products can be found there. To eat on the go, the stalls with Vietnamese salads (vegetables, fish and spicy meat) sold by weight are very practical even if they are at least as Russian as Vietnamese

This market is considered to be one of the most affordable markets in St. Petersburg for fresh produce. It was established in 1711. Its original name was Obzhorniy, which means "glutton" in French. Its many lively stalls are a real treat and invite you to wander through the aisles of this small neighbourhood market. On the left after the main entrance, a saleswoman from a charcuterie stall will make you a nice board to take away. Just point your finger at the delicacies that speak to you and the majestic owner of a solenias stand will accompany you with her beautiful homemade pickles.
