🇷🇺 Moscow Must-Visit Attractions: The Flea Market Known as "One Ant
One Ant Market , also known as One Ant Kremlin , is a must-visit market in Moscow, perfect for picking up souvenirs. The name "One Ant" is a cute nickname derived from the original name Izmaylovo, which sounds similar to "one ant" in Chinese. I bought most of my gifts here during my stay in Moscow. It’s like a flea market, offering both second-hand and new items. You’re sure to find something special after spending an hour or two exploring. Many other bloggers have shared great gift ideas from here, so I won’t go into too much detail. Even if you don’t buy anything, the environment is fantastic—it feels like a mini Persian castle, with all the buildings painted in vibrant colors, straight out of a fairy tale. 📍 How to Get There : Search for "One Ant Market" on the map. Take the metro to Partizanskaya station (Line 3, blue line) and walk for about 15 minutes. ⏰ Opening Hours : Year-round, 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM. More stalls are available on weekends. suger: Spend 1 to 2 hours exploring. 🗺️ Tour Route : Enter through Gate 1 and exit through Gate 38. 💰 Pricing : Bargaining is recommended; you can usually get a few hundred rubles off. - Fabergé Eggs: 3 for 1500 rubles. - Matryoshka Dolls: 3 for 1800 rubles. - Calendars: 2 for 1000 rubles. - Birch Bark Paintings: 1200 rubles. - Fridge Magnets: A set for 1300 rubles, around 10-20 rubles each. In addition to these, you can find scarves, oil paintings, antique coins, CDs, books, and various second-hand items—pretty much everything you can imagine. Since the market is a bit far from the city center (about a 30-minute metro ride from Red Square), if you’re visiting Moscow on a weekend, I suggest leaving around 8:00 AM. You’ll arrive just as the market opens at 9:00 AM, beat the crowds, and still have plenty of time for your visit. #RussiaTravel #RussianAdventure #NationalDayTravel #MidAutumnTravel #MoscowTravel #MoscowExploration #MoscowTravelGuide #OneAntMarket #MoscowFleaMarket #MoscowOneAnt
