Old Arbat Street Tour from Moscow

 

The most famous walking street in Moscow lies to the West of the Kremlin, where its 1.25km span stretches from ploshchad (Square) Arbatskaya to ploshchad Smolenskaya. Earlier a main road, In the 1980s it became a pedestrian street, with a new lease of life as a tourist attraction. Maybe the legendary writers of the past no longer drink their coffee here, but a host of mime artists, soap-box poets, souvenir shops and art stalls evoke a decidedly bohemian atmosphere that can still inspire. The plentiful cafes and eateries selling delicious food fares from around the globe add a dash of flavor.
