Bloshiny Rynok is one of the best and largest vintage and antique markets in Moscow. Large flea markets are always fun, as they come with a lively atmosphere and so many shopping opportunities, but they are not always the best place for those with a keen interest in antiques and history. Bloshiny Rynok delivers in terms of size and also in the quality of the antiques and collectibles available here. This market has gained a reputation among collectors for the fascinating and rare merchandise that is displayed here, and the chances of picking up a real bargain are high indeed!
One of the main things Bloshiny Rynok has become known for over the years is pre-revolutionary items. It helps to have a basic understanding of Russian when visiting this market, as the vendors have so much knowledge to impart that non-Russian speakers miss much of the magic of the experience. However, all transactions can be carried out with plenty of hand gestures and a smile, so it is certainly not necessary. All the items for sale can be admired by anyone with an interest in Russian history, and collectors from any country will be hard pressed to leave this market empty-handed.
The merchandise at Bloshiny Rynok can be a bit jumbled, but that just adds to the thrill of browsing and never knowing what you might find. Visitors will find teapots, barrettes, jewelry, jewelry boxes, cameras, binoculars, fans, furniture, tools, chinaware, and more. Many of the items are museum quality, and vintage music plays from old gramophones to set the scene. Being at this market is a unique experience, and the fact that there are so many quality antiques to see is just the icing on the cake.
