Sea delicacies and gastronomic souvenirs
Vladivostok is one of the main gastronomic centers of the Far East. Here you can try and take home what is not in other regions of Russia.
Fresh seafood is especially popular: crabs, oysters, trepangs. You should also pay attention to desserts. The local confectionery offers bird milk on agar-agar, chocolate with algae or sea salt.
> Do not forget about traditional products of taiga: pine nuts, teas with lemongrass, herbal collections, balms. These goods are healthy, stored for a long time and remind you of the seaside nature.

Crafts and symbols of the city
Souvenirs with the symbols of Vladivostok are a great way to remember the atmosphere of the city. Magnets, postcards, T-shirts and textiles are often decorated with images of the Russian Bridge, the Golden Horn or the Tokarevsky Lighthouse. They easily fit into the luggage and remind you of the trip for a long time.
Another good gift is books about the city. These can be travel guides, fiction or photo albums. In bookstores you can find a series of publications for children, which tell about Vladivostok in an easy and fascinating form. A book gift can be supplemented with postcards with views of attractions - they are easy to put in an envelope and send directly from Vladivostok, adding a personal message.
For connoisseurs of the unique, author's ceramics, for example, porcelain kettles or hand-painted cups, will suit. Many craftsmen use seaside clay and marine-style painting.
Also a good souvenir will be jewelry from local stones - scarna, calcite or even fragments of a meteorite. A traditional veal or sea visor would be suitable as a souvenir with a seaside flavour and a hint of the region's maritime strength.
Gastro-discovery and authenticity of Vladivostok
Gastronomic impressions are one of the main points of the cultural program of the WEF guests. They leave the city with suitcases full of unique products.
One of these discoveries was pian-se - a steam cake with meat and cabbage, for which queues often line up. It can not be stored for long, but you need to try it. Vladivostok is also known for its range of oriental products: Korean condiments, Japanese sauces, Chinese sweets and traditional Asian spirits.
If you are looking for something truly unusual, pay attention to cosmetics and supplements based on seaweed and trepang. This is a local trend that combines exotic, useful and unique.
All goods are easy to find in tourist markets and souvenir shops, especially in the center of Vladivostok and near the station.
Tips for packing and transportation:
- For seafood - heat bags, vacuum packs and dry ice.
Turn fragile souvenirs in clothes and pack in the middle of luggage.- Take into account customs rules: dry products and cosmetics are allowed, live shellfishes are prohibited.
Clarify the shelf life of chocolate and dietary supplements.
Vladivostok offers guests much more than a business program. Each souvenir is a memory of the city by the sea, its culture, food and nature. When leaving, take a little Primorye with you - and your impressions will become not only bright, but also tangible.
