Prospekt Mira
Проспект Мира
Vladikavkaz's pedestrian main street, lined with 19th-century buildings, cafés and museums, with Mount Kazbek visible in the distance
Mira Avenue was originally called Alexandrovsky Avenue. It is Vladikavkaz's main pedestrian street, about 1.5 km long. Lined with shops, hotels and residences from the late 19th to early 20th century, it is home to the famous Paris Hotel and the Tuganov Art Museum. Under the trees there are many cafés and shops selling Ossetian pies.
The northern end is near the Terek River and the Mukhtarov Mosque, and the southern end connects to Freedom Square. On clear days you can see the snow-capped Caucasus peaks south of the city. It is a good place for an evening stroll and for tasting three-layer Ossetian pies, and most of the city's sights are within walking distance.
