New Arbat
Leading west from the Manezh Square, New Arbat today is one of Moscow’s most busy, boisterous and fashionable avenues. Three large entertainment complexes compete here with top-end boutiques, popular bars, huge shopping malls and oversized beauty centres, while sidewalks are clustered with smaller kiosks, pavilions and peddler stalls. New Arbat is a direct motorway passage from the Kremlin to prestigious dacha residences on Rublyovo-Uspenskoye Highway. The 20-plus storey residential towers on its flanks give breathtaking views of New Arbat, the Moskva riverbanks and the Kremlin. However, the sector behind New Arbat, including low-traffic Povarskaya Street, is full of quiet winding lanes and boulevards; it is also home to several embassies. For those who require modern hi-tech living environment, several new apartment towers have been erected recently at the end of New Arbat offering d owntown and river views combined with advanced amenities and superb condominium service and maintenance.
