Busy and narrow cobbled streets with shops on both sides make for a very charming experience. Short visit recommended. You can cover this with your visit to the Dom.

A must see! Very fun busy streets with bustling shops! Was there in the spring and again in December with falling snow. Only added to the great atmosphere!
Try to stay somewhere overnight and visit before 1000 or after 1630. It's beautiful in the evening when the tourists have gone home.

Great shopping area with upscale shops, souvenir shops and good restaurants nearby. The whole street is pedestrian friendly.
Pedestrian street complete with iron shop signs hanging above the entrances. They are each unique. The shops house various items from food to clothing and gifts. Each shop owner we encountered were friendly and polite. Great cafes all throughout this area too. Make sure you go down some of the little alleys for addiitonal shops and cafes.
