Petrovka Street

Petrovka Street (Russian: Улица Петровка, romanized: Ulitsa Petrovka) is a street in Moscow, Russia, that runs north from Kuznetsky Most and Theatral Square up past Strastnoy Boulevard and Petrovsky Boulevard.

The street takes its name from the St. Peter's Monastery, situated at the top of the hill, at the intersection of the street and the Boulevard Ring.

The street is a home to upscale shops, offices, and night clubs, such as the historic Petrovka Passazh and TsUM.

Perhaps the most famous building is the Moscow Criminal Police (Petrovka, 38).

The nearest metro station is Teatralnaya, located on the Zamoskvoretskaya Line.
