Why Visit EUROSPAR?
Eurospar is the most useful supermarket chain for a visitor in the center of Moscow, because it has stores in central addresses such as Okhotny Ryad, Bolshaya Lubyanka and Tverskaya Street, and many are open around the clock. A visitor can buy water, snacks, fruit, dairy products and drinks, and in many stores coffee to go and hot dishes, according to map listings.
The chain is closer to a full supermarket than the small neighborhood stores, so the range is wider. Because payment by foreign cards cannot be assumed, carry cash in rubles and check the hours of the store you plan to use.
Highlights of EUROSPAR
Central stores near the Kremlin
A store is listed at Okhotny Ryad on Manezhnaya Square, close to Red Square, and others on Bolshaya Lubyanka, Maroseyka, Tverskaya Street and Strastnoy Boulevard. Check the route on a map app.

Coffee to go and hot dishes

Eurospar Express minimarkets

A fuller range than a neighborhood store

An app and delivery
The map listings show a mobile app and food delivery for many stores. Delivery and the app may not suit a short trip, and their availability for foreign visitors was not verified.
Tip: Skip the app on a short visit.

Central stores are busy at lunchtime and after work, and the 24-hour stores are quiet at night.

How we research and update our guides
About this guide: AI assistance and accuracy
This guide is created with the help of AI and is based on official sources where available. Mistakes can still happen. Opening hours, prices, rules and other details are given to the best of our knowledge as of the date shown and can change without notice. It offers general recommendations only, not professional, legal or travel advice. Please confirm important details with the official source before you travel; you are responsible for your own plans and decisions.
International sanctions affect payments between Russia and many other countries. In practice, cards issued in the EU, the UK, the US and several other countries often do not work in Russia, Russian cards usually do not work abroad, and some booking platforms, airlines and payment providers limit or suspend their services for Russia. The situation changes frequently. We do not give legal or financial advice, and this site does not encourage anyone to break or circumvent sanctions. Whatever you plan, you are responsible for following the laws and regulations that apply to you, including those of your country of residence and citizenship. Many travelers still organise their stay lawfully. It is worth asking your bank or payment provider what is currently permitted, contacting hotels, tour operators and carriers directly about the payment methods they accept, and checking which services are open to customers from your country. Clarify payment, cancellation and refund terms before you commit to a booking, and keep your plans flexible. Partner links on this site may not be available in every country, and prices, availability and rules in our guides can differ from what you see when you book.Paying for your trip: please read
