Home > Places you must see in Russia: Old Arbat street

Arbat is one of the most known streets in Russia. It's quite small with the length about 1.2 km and dedicated for pedestrian only, althougth sometimes you can find there cars and motorcycles. It's an old street with a many historical artefacts, like Pushkin' museum. Of course you will find here all tourist rubbish items like Matreshka, Samovar, Soviet military uniform, flags, service decorations and so on. All made in modern China. There are a lot of painters and musicians, but if they are not in the scene, the street looks just like an ordinary one. See the photo.
