Russians were advised places to buy unusual souvenirs

For those who are looking for something more than magnets and mugs, the Russian regions harbor a treasure trove of original souvenirs. A list of original souvenirs on November 9th with Gazeta.Ru" was shared by the Avito Travel service analytics team.

When visiting the Chelyabinsk region, it is recommended to pay attention to camel wool products, because the camel is the symbol of this region. In the Komi Republic, it is worth buying bright knitted socks, in Bashkiria – honey, and in Altai – tea.

It is specified that interesting delicacies can be brought from different parts of Russia: Karelian sauce of lingonberries and cranberries with pepper, Far Eastern chinook caviar, Astrakhan sturgeon balyk and Kaliningrad marzipan.

According to analysts, Muscovites and Petersburgers do not have to go on long-distance trips for unique local products. For example, in Kolomna you can try apple pastille made according to an old recipe of the 17th century, and in Vyborg you can enjoy a fragrant pretzel.

Also, according to the compiled list, if we talk about practical souvenirs, then it is worth bringing products from the Imperial Porcelain Factory from St. Petersburg. Vologda craftsmen are famous for their linen textiles — here you can find both clothes and household items made of natural linen.

And for connoisseurs of high–quality kitchen utensils, a trip to Vorsm (Nizhny Novgorod region) or Zlatoust (Chelyabinsk region) will be justified - excellent forged steel knives are produced there.

On September 8, the website of the Moscow City Hall announced that guests of the Moscow Seasons festival venues will be able to purchase unique souvenirs and festive treats on City Day. It was specified that special attention will be paid to gastronomy: Muscovites and guests of the capital will be able to taste gingerbread cookies with images of the Kremlin, St. Basil's Cathedral and the Bolshoi Theater.
