Old Arbat can hardly be called a typical Moscow street. This 1-km-long pedestrian serpentine stripe would rather remind one of Italy with its numerous cafés, shops and relaxing tourists from all over the world.

And still, Old Arbat is “Moscow in miniature”, for its historical buildings and monuments are a perfect reflection of the entire course of Moscow history, of the various epochs, “ups” and “downs”, that the “golden domed” capital has gone through. Old Arbat is in other words a living history of Russia. Price for 2 people.
