1. GUM
When I heard of this outlet, my mind is going like “What the…?” why it had a funny name for a shopping outlet. but don’t get it wrong, GUM is the well-known mall in the city of Moscow. It is due to the 19th century architectural style, it looks like a royal palace and indeed offers an experience that’s no less than royalty-like. With fashion brands like Dolce & Gabbana, for a fashionista, I think you will like this places. What more you did get some nice experience how it feels to shopping in the 19th century ago. You could go there in the morning or night but not before 10.00 PM.
2. Arbat Street
In Indonesia, you might find something like this in Bandung, its called Jalan Dago in Bandung. Russia as one of the biggest countries, also have a famous and well known street in Moscow its capital. Situated in the historical center of the city you will find many classy souvenirs to elegant stores in there which is also cheap. So every souvenirs and store that might not be in GUM, you could at least try this place if not also to enjoy experiencing shopping in Russian street. It is closed more early than GUM in which it is 9 P.M.
3. Tverskaya
If you are a gemstone enthusiast, you should probably go here to find a unique gem from Russia. Tverskaya is among the most famous shopping street in Moscow for its gem and jewelry here. You could find mid end to luxury store here, but beware of your budget, you don’t want to splurge more than a hundred bucks here.

Also, a few unusual stores could be found in there, one of them is the art boutiques in Ulitsa Varvarka churches. You also could browse fine handicrafts, jewelry, a selection of native Russian art while at it. And that is the reason I include it in my 8 most exclusive shopping outlet in Moscow list.
8. Cristall Vodka Museum
Yes, this is a museum, but not an ordinary museum. In here you could learn about Russian history of vodka and what more, also tasting it a bit. Vodka is an alcoholic drink which I know some people don’t drink it, but it’s never wrong to buy it to someone as a souvenir. Cristall Vodka Museum is not a shop, so you cant buy it there. but the store nearby sells it the same thing which you could see in the museum.
