Izmailovo: the Kremlin, the souvenir & antique market and vodka museum with tasting
The Izmailovo Kremlin, even more kaleidoscopic than the one downtown, with its multicolored towers straight out of a Russian fairytale, is a popular bucket-list item that you will defintely love. This is a bright spot of national color, souvenirs, and a taste of ancient Russia. Izmailovo Market, or Izmailovsky Vernisazh (from French vernissage) as the locals call it, is a genuine treasure trove of curiosities and a country-famous flea market. The colorful and bustling complex is home to several single-subject museums. One is dedicated to Russian folk art, another to bread, and yet another to vodka. The latter one is our next stop. Museum of Russian vodka, located within its walls, tells a marvelous story of this Russia's trademark drink and other traditional liquers and regional specialties. You won't be just listening and observing, you will be able to try a selection of these liqueurs: all shots are served with traditional Russian snacks, completing your experience of the place.
