 shoppers in Ulista Arbat by sue_stone Ulista Arbat is a pedestrian street that is more than a kilometre long. It is lined with clothing stores, restaurants, bars & cafes and of course souvenir shops. There are also plenty of street entertainers and artists, along with pickpockets and the occasional dodgy looking person. A great place for an afternoon stroll and a spot of window shopping.

by bijo69 Arbat Street is one of Moscow's most popular places for a short stroll. It's a pedestrian street which stretches between Arbatskya and Smolenskaya Square. The houses here a nicely renovated and some of them host museums and galleries. This is also the place to find all kinds of souvenirs. Leave a Comment Directions: Metro: Arbatskaya, Smolenskaya

Later examples of interesting Soviet architecture are usually marked by their impressive size and the semi-Modernist styles employed, such as the Novy Arbat project, designed by Mikhail Posokhin. Long time ago this street was a face of soviet Moscow... Now days you could visit this place just if you need to spend lots of many for shopping and casino....

 Street Seller with Gorby Dolls by easyoar When it comes to buying a souvenir of Moscow, the most popular choice seems to be a Gorby Doll, which is a twist on the popular Matrushka nested dolls. The quality varies tremendously, and so do the prices. A really fine example can have around 10 dolls and go all the way back as far as Ivan the Terrible. Popular figures to find in a set are Gorby, Yeltsin, Breznev, Krushchev, Lenin, Stalin, Catherine the Great, Peter the Great and Ivan the Terrible Leave a Comment

 in evening by bugulma Old Arbat street is the most famous pedastrian street of Moscow. It's better to visit street in the evening when there are some mini-shows: some concerts in the streets of non-professional musicians. There are a lot of souveniers shops in the street but it's more expensive with other places in the city. If you speak or understand Russian I recommend you to visit Vakhtangov's Theatre in the middle of Old Arbat street. You will spend your time great. Leave a Comment Directions: Smolenskaya (dark-blue line) or Arbatskaya (dark-blue line) metro stations.

The first historical records of Arbat relate to the year of 1493, the street was mentioned in an account of a major city fire. Most probably, the street name originates from the Arabic world for “suburb”. In the 19th century Arbat turned to be a favourite neighbourhood for Moscow’s nobility and creative intelligentsia, it was believed to number one noble for every seven ordinary residents. Nice walking street with lots of souveniers. Nice restaurants. Perfomances. Interesting characters. Leave a Comment Directions: Metro "Arbatskaya" Metro "Smolenskaya"

 Noviy Arbat by skywarp Old Arbat- walk along this charming street, with its unique atmosphere. You'll see street vendors everywhere. They sell typical souvenirs, always at higher cost than in other places. You can always bargain though. Sit by a café and watch the people go by. Lovely. New Arbat- a busy , yet pleasant street. There's a lot of shoarma stands in the street, where they make some delicious shoarma. Visit the Dom Knigi which is probably the biggest bookstore in Moscow. Leave a Comment

 Novi Arbat by yumyum This street is actually quite ugly. On one side it has a post office, an official MTS office (if you eg bought a MTS phone number and need turning on roaming etc) and the famous bookstore (Dom Knigi). In Dom Knigi use the right entrance go straight ahead and up the stairs, then turn left. Here you find all the maps and guide books (a fair few of them in English too, they have a selection of LP and Rough Guide too). On the ground floor you find a card section which sells a variety of postcards. On the other side are shops and casinos and you can cut across to Old Arbat street.

by pretty33555 Actually there are New Arbat and Stari Arbat, which are situated parallel to each other. Here's the picture od Stari Arbat, one of the most famous spots visited by tourists in the center of Moscow. All sorts of souvenirs sell there. Also you can drop by one of the numerous cheap (or relatively cheap:D) cosy little restaurants or cafes:) Come! You'll like its enchanting atmosphere! Leave a Comment

 Alexander Puskin's House by ratherton This historic street to the west of the Kremlin is where Alexander Pushkin's former house can be found. A walk down the busy street will allow you to explore the range of stalls selling various souvenirs such as Matroshkay dolls, a huge variety of pictures, all kinds of military odds and ends including flying suits. If you can find the time, the street artists will also draw your portrait (I paid 300R in March 2003) and there is also the Western influence on show in the form of MacDonalds Leave a Comment Directions: Take the metro to ARBATSKAYA on the Filyovskaya line (light blue)
