Imperial Porcelain Factory

With several stores dotted around the city, and porcelain available at souvenir store distributors too, you won't want to miss the opportunity to pick up a surprisingly affordable piece of history. There are classic designs to chose from, the same ones used by the Tsars, Soviet-themed, and contemporary. Orders can be shipped home. The factory tour is also worth doing to better understand what makes porcelain so special. Most stores are open from 10:00 to around 21:00.
