Admiral Fokina Street

This picturesque street, just under a kilometer long, got its first name in honor of the Peking Treaty of 1860, which established the border between Russia and China. Then it was called Trade, although it was more correct to call it Chinese - here they sold mainly Chinese products.

And in 1964, it was renamed in honor of Admiral Vitaly Alekseevich Fokin, who had long commanded the Pacific Fleet. In 1991, many streets of the city center regained their historical names, but this did not affect Fokina Street.

Both tourists and locals love to walk along Admiral Fokin Street, popularly called the Vladivostok Arbat. Here it is nice to walk through the paving stones, admiring the well-groomed old buildings, look into the numerous shops and drink a cup of coffee in one of the cozy cafes with an authentic atmosphere. Indeed, on the main pedestrian highway of Vladivostok, everything is almost the same as on the Moscow Arbat.

Pedestrian street with fountains, benches, flower beds, Gothic lanterns "in antiquities". This is a place of cultural pastime or simply “partying”. But perhaps one of the key features of Admiral Fokina Street is the sea that can be viewed from almost any point. The street leads to the embankment, where the only Far Eastern dolphinarium, oceanarium and Maritime Museum are located.
