Sadovod, Retail and wholesale marketplace in southeastern Moscow, Russia
Sadovod is a large trade complex in southeastern Moscow with thousands of shops selling clothing, textiles, accessories, and household items. The stores are arranged in multiple rows spread across a vast site.
The complex started in 1997 as a gardening supplies center and later grew into Russia's largest trade and wholesale hub. This shift transformed it into a key distribution point for goods across the region.
The market draws sellers and buyers from many countries, who trade their goods and serve regional dishes in the dining spots around the central courtyard.
The best way to reach the market is by metro at Lyublino station on line 10, where a minibus will take you directly to the entrance. The site is large, so plan time to explore and navigate through the different sections.
The market operates not just as a retail destination but also as a distribution hub where goods are sorted and sent to other parts of the country. This wholesale role makes it an important economic center that many visitors overlook.
