A giant set of stairs, named for a soviet test pilot, whose statue is at the top. A great workout if you're climbing up

The town was definitely cleaned up for the Soccer World Cup and nowhere more so than this street. It features everything from small bars and cafes, to luxury designer shops. There are quite a few places to buy souvenirs if that is your thing, but in any case it is an exciting place to stroll on a Saturday evening. One thing that hasn’t adjusted since the World Cup are the prices, so go somewhere else if you want better value. The street leads straight through many of the main tourist attractions and is the commercial hub of the city. There is a lot of street art and some signs in English.
