Today, in Moscow, you can find absolutely everything in the stores. Everything that is in New York or any big city, is in Moscow too.
Walking along the main streets in downtown you can find many fancy shops and boutiques everywhere. Inside you will find that many shops have very high and sometimes ridiculous prices for their goods. Yes, undoubtedly, it is very important to visit the world famous department store on Red Square--GUM. IT has A very long history from the 19th century. It is a stylish and impressive building with a glass roof. But looking at their prices you may decide to buy only a couple of small souvenirs here for your memories about this store; drink some coffee in the cafe here looking around at the beautiful fountain in the middle, old style walls, and lighted signs of familiar boutiques.
In the last several years there have opened a lot of big hypermarkets, grocery stores and shopping malls in Moscow such as Auchan, Ramstor, Ikea, Mega Mall, Seven Continent, and Eldorado which have become very popular with Muscovites. Some of these malls are expensive, and others have reasonable prices, but you will find all of them to be clean and provide good service. Most of the new supermarkets and shopping malls take credit cards, or you can get cash in bank machines here.
Depending on your needs I can help you find any goods at reasonable prices in our supermarkets, shopping malls, regular shops or open-area Russian markets, such as the locals use in Moscow. I can give you advice, provide translations, or any other help you need to make your shopping more easy and comfortable.
In each district in Moscow we have different types of open-air markets where you can find groceries or vegetables, anything for the house, electronics, clothes or souvenirs. Here you may find that only a few of the sellers speak English and most of them take only cash. In every market you are expected to bargain to get the best price. I know market prices well and can help you to bargain here to get goods for the best price, provide any translation needs and advice about the quality of products.

Arthur was so awesome! We spent 3 days in Moscow (the greatest city in the world!) with Arthur, and had the absolute best time!
We went on a Night Tour (and as a BIG BONUS got to celebrate Russia's football victory over Holland with the entire city), as well as a souvenir shopping excursion and a day trip to Sergiev Posad. Throughout it all, not only was Arthur punctual, reliable, and conscientious, he was SO much fun! He was positive and energetic, and absolutely sincere in sharing his knowledge and love for his beautiful city, not to mention being quite an impressive driver in Moscow's crazy streets.
AND - not only was he an outstanding guide and driver, he is the most amazing photographer! It was so nice to have someone to take our picture by all of these beautiful places, a service that you certainly won't get from anyone else!
I did tons of research before this trip, and had checked several other websites, but kept coming back to Arthur's website, pouring over his beautiful pictures, and reading all of the other client reviews, After using his services, I can say that I absolutely and wholeheartedly agree with all the other great reviews, and would highly recommend him to everyone. I can't wait to return to Moscow and see him again! Arthur was an absolute joy and delight, and helped make our trip an amazing trip of a lifetime!
