In the neighborhood of the Olympic Stadium is the now-called Olympic Market. While less interesting to shop in than the Central or Russian markets, Olympic Market has smaller crowds and thus has better air-circulation than most others.
The market has a great selection of fabrics on the second floor, including separate zones offering cotton and synthetic fabrics on one side and more traditional materials, such as silk, on the other.
