GUM is a nice place to look around if your pockets are stuffed with cash. :wink: But if you want to buy souvenirs and some of the Russian traditional stuff - go to Ismailovo market. Open markets are very popular among Russians. They usually sell the same staff you can find in expensive department stores but several times cheaper. My advice to you go to Tcherkizovo market and enjoy shopping. Also prices are real good in Ashan and Metro stores. Gum is more like a symbol, not a real shopping area. But keep in mind: one man's poison is another man's meat. This is just my personal opinion!

The most convenient thing about such stores is that you can buy absolutely everything there. But if you exactly know what you need, then specializied shops near subways stations are ok too. Markets mentioned above i'd recommend only if you want to try something extreme lol.
