In-Depth Information
From here, several commercial streets radiate towards the Boulevard Ring, each filled
with boutiques and cafes. Semi-pedestrianised ul Bolshaya Dmitrovka is linked with Tver-
skaya ul by the fully pedestrianised Kamergersky per. Further up, trendy Stoleshnikov per
connects ul Bolshaya Dmitrovka with quaint ul Petrovka, which leads to charming Hermit-
age Gardens.
Beyond the Garden Ring, Tverskoy blends into the much more relaxed, uncrowded Nov-
oslobodsky district, home of the Jewish Museum & Centre of Tolerance and a few nice bars
and restaurants.
