One of the city’s main attractions, this is arguably the best place to grab a bite, unwind in a café or go for a stroll. The street was named in honour of José de Ribas, a Russian Imperial Navy admiral of Spanish-Irish origin and hero of the Russo-Turkish War. Unmistakable to Soviet people, the street has been the centrepiece of various films, books and songs. The scene is always colourful and there is an energy here that draws one listlessly across the cobble.
