Centrally located near Sennaya Ploshchad, this lively fresh-food market is the budget alternative to Kuznechny, known for low prices on fish, meat, vegetables, fruit, nuts and dried fruit. It is a great place to eat cheaply like a local: load up on snacks, fresh produce and inexpensive street-style bites for well under $10. Less polished and more bustling than the tourist markets, it gives a genuine slice of everyday city life.
