Kitay-Gorod

The block northeast of Red Square is called "China Town" (Кита́й-го́род), which is generally believed to be a linguistic coincidence and has nothing to do with China. In this relatively old historical district, there are more than a dozen ancient churches and countless ancient buildings, and you will gain a lot by strolling in it. Nikolai Street (Нико́льскаяу́лица) between Kazan Cathedral and "Gum" department store has been converted into a pedestrian street, and you can go all the way to Lubyanka.
