Über diesen Tip
Blagbaz, officially the Central Market, has been a main trading place of Kharkiv since the 1830s and still trades today. Take the metro to Tsentralnyi Rynok station, which sits beneath the market square, and go in the morning when stalls are well stocked. Literary accounts of the market describe vegetables, fruit, pickles, cured pork fat and bread, which remain the classic things to look for. Carry some cash and ask before photographing a stall.
