Lonely Planet Top Tip
In the back streets around Bolshaya Nikitskaya ul, many old mansions have survived -
some renovated, others dilapidated. Most of those on the streets closest to the Krem-
lin were built by the 18th-century aristocracy, while those further away were built by
rising 19th-century industrialists. These days many of these buildings are occupied by
embassies and cultural institutions. With little traffic, Bolshaya Nikitskaya ul is excel-
lent for a quiet ramble.
