The is part of the heart of Moscow. You may ask any person from Russia," what is Moscow like?" - the first assosiation will be, " the Arbat". Situated in the centre of Moscow, near the  Metro (Moscow underground) station Lenin Library, it is a very quiet and beautiful street. It reminds very much of days gone by, i.e. the Golden Era of Russian poetry, gentlemen in frock coats and ladies in fashionable dresses and veils. Pushkin's house, built in the 16th century, is situated in the Arbat. In front of it you can see a monument to Alexander Pushkin and his wife, Natalya Goncharova. Not far from this place you may enjoy the performance of the theatre named after Vachtangov, one of Russia's best theatres and definitely worth visiting. That's something not to be wondered at.

And there is some practical information you should be aware of: On the one hand there exists the best exchange course for foreign currency and on the other hand one can recommend this pedestrian area for chosing one or the other masterpiece of Russian craft.
Besides, the Arbat is the most romantic place in Moscow. That's why a lot of people who are in love with each other appear in this street when the sun sets and illumination lightens up.

Welcome to Moscow and to the Arbat!!!
You will never regret  the incredible time you spent there!!!
