10. Gostiny Dvor
Where is: 500 meters from the Kitay Gorod metro station
Opens the top 10 best shopping centers in Moscow, one of the oldest shopping centers in Russia and, possibly, throughout Europe. Its existence was mentioned at the beginning of the 16th century! It was there that the medieval Moscow merchants demonstrated their goods and made trade deals.
Many years have passed since then, the building was rebuilt several times, until at the beginning of the two thousandth it acquired its present appearance.
Center Feature: It hosts many exhibitions every year, from art fairs to vibrant shows from leading automotive brands.
9. Metropolis
Where is: Leningradskoye Shosse, near the Voykovskaya metro station and the Baltiyskaya metro station.
Unlike Gostiny Dvor, Metropolis is a remake. He was barely ten years old. The trading building is located nowhere better: when the metro station was built nearby, from there they made a separate covered passage to the new shopping center.
Parents in an ultramodern temple of commerce can make purchases in 350 stores, and children at this time will jump and have fun under the supervision of special employees or explore virtual reality spaces.

8. Vegas
Where is: st. MKAD 24 km, 1 (intersection with Kashirsky highway).
There is an amusement park in this popular Moscow shopping center, and some of the attractions there are not for the faint of heart. For example, who decides to jump from a tower almost 20 meters high? There are also not so extreme entertainment - for example, an ice arena.
And the creators of the center managed to shove a whole ferris wheel 18 meters high into it. Yes, yes, in a completely enclosed room.
True, there is a lot of space - on the Vegas area in all for some 4 thousand square meters. m is inferior to the very first place in the rating.
Feature: although Vegas is located quite far from the metro - the main transport artery of the city, but buses run from the nearest station to it. And, most importantly, completely free.
7. Atrium
Where is: on the Garden Ring.
In Soviet times, two trading churches (GUM and TSUM) were for respectable people with a tightly packed wallet. But the Atrium was the best for men and adolescents, those who were younger, riskier and more fashionable were bought there.
Part of the aura of that time has survived to the present day, mainly due to the extremely well-thought-out choice of brands. Here are the leading European brands from budget to more expensive, but they all have one thing in common - the style, brightness and chic inherent in youth.
And for those who are tired of shopping, in the Atrium there are numerous cafes from famous brands: Starbucks, Kabuki, Chocolate Girl, Mama Carlo, etc.
Features: the shopping center has all the amenities for people with disabilities, from spacious elevators to specially equipped ramps at the parking lot.
6. Crocus City Mall
Where is: MKAD, 65-66th km, near the exit from the Mayakovsky station.
Unlike other places in the rating, where each buyer will find something affordable, the target audience of Crocus City Mall is people with money.
On two floors of this relatively small shopping center, there are about two hundred premium and luxury brands; it is believed that it is in "Crocus" the best selection of goods in this price category.
Features: so that customers don’t get tired, Crocus has a garden where you can relax, restaurants where you can eat, as well as an atelier where clothes purchased will be customized in size and shape right on the spot.
5. Okhotny Ryad
Where is: on Manezhnaya Square
The main feature of this shopping center is its extremely convenient location. Want to combine shopping with a walk in the historic center of Moscow? No problem, Okhotny Ryad is located just a few minutes walk from the heart of the city - Red Square. And you can get into it directly from the subway, without even going outside.
Despite its location (the city center is always associated with money), Okhotny Ryad has products for every taste, ranging from budget youth brands to very expensive ones. And in the end, you can just go there for a meal to reinforce your strength after a long walk around the city.
Features: on the ground floor there is a large selection of fast food items. Of the unpleasant moments: the toilet in Okhotny Ryad is paid.
4. Afimall City
Where is: Presnenskaya embankment, 2.
This is perhaps the most high-tech shopping center in Moscow, near the metro. It is located in the center of Moscow City, in one of the most impressive and complex buildings from an engineering point of view. The shopping center is located in its middle, its space is divided into four thematic zones, symbolizing the four seasons.
The visitors are especially impressed by the completely transparent roof of the building. If you go up to the top floor, from there you can see the Moscow City skyscrapers. It creates the full impression of being in some kind of sci-fi movie.
Features: The architects placed pavilions for trade, exhibition space, art galleries, restaurants, exhibitions, a cinema and a giant fountain on five floors of futurism. Its stream hits up to the very roof of 32 meters.
3. European
Where is: Kievsky Station Square, 2
Why is one of the best shopping centers in Moscow for buying clothes called "European"? Because the layout of the building is something like Europe in miniature - five atriums are named for the major European capitals.
- The largest and most important of them is, of course, devoted to Moscow.
- And those that are smaller - Rome, London, Berlin and, of course, Paris.
- Decorators tried to give the interior design of the atriums a complete resemblance to the architectural styles of these cities.
The internal layout of the “European” is made in accordance with all the rules of modern art - giant, richly decorated spaces, chic fountains with illumination coexist with small cozy cafes and small trading rooms where you can hide from the bustle around.
A good location has made the "European" one of the most popular shopping centers not only in Europe but also around the world.
Features: in terms of the number of visitors, the “European” is second only to the shopping center in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
2. Central children's store
Where is: on Lubyanka Square
Now, from this beautiful building of architecture of the 50s of the last century, one shell has remained, since its internal part has undergone large-scale reconstruction.
Apart from the cultural value of the object, the best Moscow shopping center for children only benefited from these changes. Its area has increased by more than a quarter. And the larger the area, the more interesting you can put there.
So, in addition to many shops for children for every taste and budget, the Mir also has an amusement park, a cinema, various cafes, and even several museums.
Features: In the Innopark, both children and adults can easily learn the latest achievements of science and technology in an easy-to-learn way, and in the Museum of Childhood they can recall the Soviet past. It carefully collected a lot of toys that were once sold in the "Children's World" since its inception.
1. Fleet
Where is: on the Khodynsky field.
The best shopping center in Moscow for shopping, according to visitors' reviews, is located on Khodynka a couple of minutes walk from the Aviapark metro station.
In addition to popular love, Aviapark is famous for being the largest shopping center not only in Russia, but throughout Europe.
Despite the huge area, the Khodynka shopping center loses to the rest in terms of the number of stores. Either because it prefers the premium class (and the more expensive the store, the more space it needs), or thanks to taking care of the children. So that future buyers do not get bored, they took an entire floor under their entertainment.
Features: The best shopping center in Moscow is known for its giant aquarium, which goes 4-5 floors high. It is one of the highest cylindrical aquariums in the world. You can dive there, but on the way up the swimmers will have to make several stops to compensate for the difference in pressure.
