Italy
It's the eight-lane highway of the city which somehow also accommodates a pedestrian zones on the sides (result of standard Soviet planning of main 'Prospekts'). It is overly noisy because of the heavy traffic (mostly unorganised public transportation) but the parts close to The Opera is a favourite
hangout place for the locals. There are 2 buildings on the avenue which are well worth attention - Matenadaran and Blue Mosque.
