ALEXANDER GRIBOIEDOV STREET

At 22, the Academy of Fine Arts is actually not open to the public, but you may be given a tour if you come in. The interior is breathtaking: some of the rooms were created by the students at the end of the 19th century.

A little further down, at 8 Griboedov Street, the Conservatory, which also has concert halls, is a very elegant neoclassical building from 1904. Try to go and see concerts, the interior decoration is very imposing.
