                <description><![CDATA[This flea market located in St Petersburg, Russia, is a hidden gem and should not be missed by tourists and locals alike. You can buy almost anything here, from Soviet antiques (though beware of fakes) to electrical goods, at rock-bottom prices.

They charge twice as much as the street vendors and treat you like a potential criminal.<br><br>There was even a man at the entrance with a walkie talkie reporting everyone who entered and exited the shop. Outside there were about 3 or 4 coaches full of American tourists. They were totally unaware that they were being ripped off. <br><br>The main one to avoid is next to Peter the Great's Cabin.]]></description>
