A visit to the city market is a must for travelers who want to immerse themselves in the city's daily life and literally taste it. Voronezh's Central Market is the heart of the city, its culinary soul, and the main symbol of the region's commercial activity.
Located in the very center, within walking distance of the AZIMUT City Hotel Voronezh, the market is an integral part of the city's culture and attracts both locals and numerous tourists. Twice, in 2018 and 2021, it was awarded the title of Best Market in Russia.
Over its long history, the market has undergone many changes, but retains its unique character and significance for locals. Today, it is a modern, comfortable space, with over 400 retail outlets on 16,000 m², as well as cafes and restaurants offering authentic, delicious dishes from various cuisines.
