Lonely Planet review

Moscow's main avenue, elegant Tverskaya ul, replete with fashionable shops and costly cafés and restaurants, meanders uphill from Red Sq and continues pretty much in a straight line all the way to St Petersburg. There are also the lovely pedestrianised side streets of Kamergersky per and Stoleshnikov per to walk down.

Further up on Tverskaya ul there's the equestrian statue of Yury Dolgoruky, the founder of the city, which now faces the Moscow Mayor's Office, where the Luzhkov administration concocts many of its hare-brained ideas.
