If you're in the market for tacky souvenirs, stroll down this cobblestone street, which retains elements of its once elegant past, but is now mostly souvenir stalls, performing artists and outdoor cafes.

Arbat is a very historical place. It’s one of the oldest surviving streets in Moscow and it’s very well known by all Russians and many tourists. It’s like a touristic avenue. There are plenty of souvenir stores (with good prices and many choices), small entertaining museums for fun, Starbucks coffee and other coffee shops and restaurants, street artists and so on. The street is stunning and lights up beautifully in the evening. The architecture of the buildings is amazing. There is a statue of Pushkin (with Goncharova) and also an Okudzhava statue. Both lived here. I’ve been here many times and each time it’s a pleasure to stroll here.

Save some weekend hours for this street market where you can bargain for a wide variety of already reasonably priced souvenirs, crafts, used books, Russian memorabilia and various types of nesting dolls.

A short walk from the metro, this market is the best place to buy souvenirs,especially Russian dolls and hats etc saw the same ones that are in the large tourist shops for a quarter of the price here and they don’t mind you bartering. Are the far end of the market are the antique and soviet items, so interesting! Plenty of kiosks for hot food and drinks. Loved this market and spent a good couple of hours here and was very pleased with my ‘bargains’.
