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.
