This street is the main root to Tver and the market center, dating back to the 12th century. It became the hub of social life in Moscow in the 17th and 18th centuries and stood as a prestigious residence for rich nobles, Moscow's version of Manhattan. It remains a popular location for modern constructions such as the Izvestiya building, Central Telegraph, and Pushkin and Tverskya Squares. Here you will see all types of Moscovites, students and professionals, models and politicians, visitors from every corner of the world, and, of course, Russian babushkas!
