Top 10 Historic Walking Areas in Tverskoy, Central Russia
The political, scientific, historical, architectural and business center of Russia, Moscow displays the country's contrasts at their most extreme. The ancient and modern are juxtaposed side by side in this city of 10 million. Catch a metro from one of the ornate stations to see Red Square, the Kremlin, the nine domes of St. Basil's Cathedral, Lenin's Mausoleum, the KGB Museum and other symbols of Moscow's great and terrible past, then lighten up and shop Boulevard Ring or people watch in Pushkin Square.

This spiritual segment of the Kremlin includes several enormous cathedrals and the Ivan the Great Bell Tower, the watchtower for the Kremlin, which would sound its 21 bells to warn of an approaching enemy.

Cathedral square is within the confines of the Kremlin walls. The beautiful white churches are a sight to behold, whether near or far. The golden domes shine beautifully in the sun so magnificently. It should be noted that you must pay a fee to enter here. A definite visit if only for the photos.
2. Kitai-Gorod and Varvarka Street

The area to the east of the Kremlin was a traditional trading quarter. The oldest streets of Kitai-Gorod - Nikolskaya, Ilyinka, Varvarka - were known as early as the 14th century.

I always advise this place to the forein guest: "After the official view of Red Square come here to see the ancient history of Moscow". Just walk along and see. Tip: at the end of the steet step down to the subway (Metro) and look to the left just at the end of the stairway. You can see the basement of ancient "Varvarskaya tower" - the entrance to the Kitay-gorod and mystic place of ancient Moscow.

Nikolskaya street is a gem of Moscow which, in its turn, is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. For sure, in these dull and desolate Christmas covid days in Europe and USA this bustling and defiantly careless megapolis is a bright spot on the Northern Hemisphere's map. We were there yesterday - me, my wife, our two children, our daughter-in-law and our three grandchildren, a girl and two boys. Nikolskaya was crowded. Packed cafes and restaurants, street musicians, masqueraded millennials - angels and devils, knights, robots, ruffians, even slightly drunken Putin's lookalike! - what a contrast to despondent Western cities! We walked there, then progressed to the Red Square, then to the Manezhnaya square, then to Alexandrovskiy gardens, to watch change of guard by the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Hordes of people. Moscow, I love you! You're forever young, glittering, resilient, fortitudinous, flamboyant and charming. Outta sight!

A stroll through the only about 250m long pedestrian lane between Tverskaya street and the Bolshoi theatre makes for a very pleasant experience. There might be some activity meant for visitors, like two young women putting on a duel show with sabres, when I was there, but in general the atmosphere here is much less touristy and commercialised than in the longer and better known pedestrian Arbat street. There are several restaurants and cafés, also with outdoor seating, such as the café 'Akademia' or a 'Shokoladnitsa' from the well known chain. As a historical street - the name means 'Chamberlain street' - there is also some interesting architecture from tsarist days to look at. Wit the pedestrianisation more than 20 years ago attractive retro style street lamps have been put up. Just next to a statue of Sergei Prokofiev, walking in the middle of the street with hat and raincoat, is a museum dedicated to the famous 20th century composer.

This street is very long and very wide. Beautiful big buildings give it a very majestic look. There are stores, restaurants, theaters, hotels, administrative buildings and so on. It’s the main street and it’s upscaled by the look. You will enjoy just walking along it if you like architecture.
