Kostroma Trade Rows
Торговые ряды
One of Russia's best-preserved commercial arcade complexes from the 18th and 19th centuries, where you can buy cheese, linen and silver jewellery.
The Trade Rows lie between Susanin Square and the Volga River. This complex of several colonnaded shop blocks, including the Red Rows, the Flour Rows and the Fish Market, is among Russia's best-preserved Classicist commercial buildings, with two small chapels set within it. It is still a working market today, where you can buy Kostroma cheese, linen products, birch-bark crafts and Krasnoye Selo silver jewellery, usually at lower prices than at tourist sites.
Opening hours
Approx. 08:00–18:00 (varies by shop)
