Red Square

• Address: st. Okhotny Ryad.

Red Square, the Kremlin, St. Basil's Cathedral - who doesn't know these sights? The main square of the country with all the stunning buildings on it has been the hallmark of Russia for many years, which is known almost all over the world.

Moscow City

• Address: st. Business center and station International.

To see stunning glass skyscrapers, you don’t have to fly to New York - just drive to the center of Moscow. The international business center on Presnenskaya Embankment occupies huge buildings of bizarre shapes in the postmodern style.

Cathedral of Christ the Savior

• Address: st. Kropotkinskaya.

The country's largest temple is an exact copy of a cathedral built in the 19th century and destroyed by the Bolsheviks. The first temple was originally erected in honor of the victory over Napoleon's troops in the Patriotic War of 1812. In 1999, a new building was built on the Moscow River embankment.

The ceremonial consecration took place a year later. The modern temple seats 10,000 people. The cathedral houses numerous shrines, and shrines from other countries are also periodically brought to it, and then kilometer-long queues of pilgrims line up in front of the temple.

Mausoleum

• Address: st. Okhotny Ryad.

The resting place of the main revolutionary Vladimir Lenin has long become a museum with a single and very unique exhibit. The tomb was built near the walls of the Kremlin in 1930 especially for Vladimir Ilyich, who died six years earlier. Architects for a long time could not find the ideal solution, so the structure was rebuilt several times.

The funeral hall was decorated with granite, labradorite and scarlet porphyry. The embalmed body of the revolutionary was placed in a transparent glass sarcophagus. The mausoleum became a kind of cult object, and its mass excursions resembled pilgrimages. A visit to the tomb has become an obligatory tradition for guests of the Mother See. Nowadays, you can look at the body of the Leader of the proletariat almost any day of the week.

Central Park of Culture and Culture named after. Gorky

• Address: st. Oktyabrskaya.

In the city center, on Krymsky Val, lies one of the most famous and well-maintained parks in the country. The park was laid out in 1928 for the leisure of workers and peasants. Well-groomed flower beds appeared on the territory, and cozy alleys stretched. Amusements for children and adults were installed at the sites.

Several years ago, a large-scale reconstruction began, designed to improve the recreation area for Muscovites and guests of the capital. Local gardens were cleared, paths were updated, and spacious playgrounds and sports grounds were created with new equipment. In the historical part of the park, Neskuchny Garden, filming of the intellectual game “What? Where? When?".

Idea 10: Play games, eat or drink coffee

If visiting a regular restaurant seems boring to you, you can spend time in an antique cafe. There you can have a snack or coffee, and chat while playing board games. Many establishments have separate cozy rooms.

Among the popular time clubs in the capital:

Beautiful historical estates of Moscow

In Moscow, several boyar and royal estates have been preserved, restored and open to the public.

Tsaritsyn Landscape Park

• Address: st. Tsaritsyno and St. Orekhovo.

Tsaritsyno is a luxurious estate in the Gothic style, which was built especially for Empress Catherine II. To visit the museum-reserve, you need to buy a ticket, while entry to the park is free.

Visitors will be able to stroll next to the magnificent palace, walk along the bridges, and look at the small but spectacular opera house. In summer, tourists will also be pleased with the dancing light and music fountain.

Kolomenskoye

• Address: st. Kolomenskaya and Art. Kashirskaya.

A walk through the park of the former Kolomenskoye estate will also not cost a ruble. Tourists can admire from the outside the wonderful tented Church of the Ascension of the Lord, built in the first half of the 16th century according to the design of Italian architects.

The structure is included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Also located in the park are a wooden house of Emperor Peter the Great, transported from the island of St. Mark, and a copy of the stone palace of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich.

Izmailovo

• Address: st. Izmailovo.

The ancient estate in the east of Moscow was founded at the end of the 14th century, and since the 16th century it belonged to the royal family of the Romanovs. The entire former estate occupies an island in the middle of a pond.

The delightful Kremlin looks like a colorful palace from children's fairy tales: outlandish towers, colorful roofs, fancy weather vanes. Tickets to the museums are paid, but they do not charge money to view the buildings from the outside.

Kuskovo

• Address: st. Okskaya and st. Novogireevo.

A large estate in the east of Moscow from the 17th century until the revolution belonged to the famous Sheremetyev family. In 1770, the owners significantly expanded their holdings and built a spacious palace in a fashionable enfilade style on their territory. At the palace there was a vast park with a large pond and various gazebos.

Various entertainments were created for the owners and guests of the estate: boating, a menagerie, a flower greenhouse, a cabinet of curiosities. In 1917, the Bolsheviks nationalized the noble estates and two years later turned them into a state museum. There is a fee to visit the museums, but entry to the territory is open to everyone.

Idea 9: Assess your vocal abilities

Visiting a karaoke bar is an opportunity not only to have fun, but also to get to know a person by the selected songs. To visit the club it is not necessary to have a strong voice and perfect pitch; desire and self-confidence are much more important.

The list of the most atmospheric and popular bars:

• Empress Hall is a large-scale establishment with a musical program and signature dishes on the menu;
• Royal Arbat is a karaoke giant with impeccable service;
• CITY VOICE – atmospheric bar with Mediterranean cuisine and panoramic views;
• Jimmy Poy – an establishment in the “DJ bar and karaoke” format with spectacular loft-style rooms;
• GRAMMY`S – a club with an original interior and delicacies of European cuisine;
• Vintage 77 is a relatively inexpensive and very popular bar located in an old mansion;
• “Prozhektor” is a bar with sparkling spotlights and spotlights, allowing you to feel like a star.

Another way to implement this idea is to attend a vocal master class. Classes are held in specialized schools and studios, many of which invite pop stars. For a date, a private lesson for two would be better.

Fascinating Moscow parks

The parks of the capital are a godsend for budget-conscious tourists. You can wear them for walks, sports, art, or just enjoy nature.

Muzeon Art Park

• Address: st. Oktyabrskaya.

The famous Muzeon is an open-air sculpture museum, a vast art space on Krymsky Val, which contains more than a thousand exhibits. Here you can see both monuments to famous historical figures, as well as simply beautiful or funny statues.

Copper politicians and characters from children's fairy tales coexist perfectly on the park lawns. The collection is so diverse that it is jokingly called a “dump of monuments” or a “cemetery of sculptures.”

Victory Park

• Address: st. Minskaya.

The memorial complex on Poklonnaya Hill was built in 1995. The opening of a new large park was timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Great Victory. The idea of ​​establishing a memorial park first arose in 1942.

Later, projects for the construction of a complex dedicated to those who fell in the Great Patriotic War were repeatedly proposed, but the work was postponed each time. In 1955, the “marshal of victory” Georgy Zhukov himself proposed erecting a large-scale monument on Poklonnaya Hill, but the matter was limited only to the installation of a memorial stone in 1958.

Finally, in 1961, tree planting began around the monument. Funds for the creation of the complex were collected only by the end of the 80s, and this time even mass protests from Muscovites did not prevent construction.

Over time, several monuments and museums were erected in the park, as well as memorial churches of different faiths: an Orthodox church, a mosque and a synagogue. Currently, sports and children's playgrounds are open in the park.

Sokolniki Park

• Address: st. Sokolniki.

The park in the northeast of the city has a long history. In the 16th century, falconry was held in its place for kings and grand dukes. It was the royal fun that gave the area its current name. In the 17th century, the forest was divided into three groves.

In the mid-19th century, the main Sokolnichya grove was remodeled according to a new design; this layout remains to this day. At the end of that century, the city bought the park and made it publicly accessible. Nowadays, Sokolniki has received the status of a natural monument, but remains a favorite vacation spot for citizens and visitors.

Alexander Garden

• Address: st. Alexander Garden.

The city's most central park was founded in 1812 in honor of the victory over Napoleon Bonaparte. The place for the garden was chosen in the best area - near the Kremlin wall. The new public space was named after the reigning Emperor Alexander I.

The park is located near the main attractions of the country, and even practically under the windows of government buildings, so its appearance is taken care of with special care. Alleys, lawns and flower beds are kept clean and tidy, and there are recreation areas. On the territory of the garden there are several interesting architectural monuments of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Patriarch's Ponds

• Address: Malaya Bronnaya street.

Thanks to Mikhail Bulgakov’s novel “The Master and Margarita,” many people associate a small park in the Presnensky district with mysticism, although in fact it is a surprisingly calm and beautiful place. In the 17th century, the residence of Patriarch Hermogenes was located here, for which the local ponds received the name Patriarchal.

After the Patriotic War of 1812, when Moscow suffered from a terrible fire, two ponds were filled with earth, and the third was improved. A cozy square was laid out around the reservoir, which has survived to this day in a slightly modified form. The pond is surrounded by ancient houses, which once housed famous scientists, politicians and artists.

Ostankino Park

• Address: st. Telecentre.

The famous public park was created in 1932 on the territory of the former estate of the Sheremetyev counts. Initially, the park was named after Felix Dzerzhinsky, but in 1991 it was renamed Ostankino.

In 2014, after a large-scale reconstruction, bicycle paths, a boat station, platforms with exercise equipment, a skatepark, a sculpture park and many other interesting objects appeared here. In the park you can not only enjoy nature, but also admire the beautiful architectural ensemble of the estate.

Idea 11: dancing - from Latin lessons to attending a ball

Another option for a date is to go dancing. No, we do not suggest going to a nightclub, there is a much more original idea. In Moscow you can go to a real ball or attend a master class where they will teach Latin American or any other movements. There are a great many special schools, as well as individual offers from professional choreographers.

Balls are not held everywhere. They are hosted by dance studios, retro clubs, universities, estates and museums. Unusual evenings take place in the Izmailovo Kremlin and Bruce’s house. Historical costumes, dresses and dance training are required to attend most events. Some balls welcome newcomers. The schedule and rules should be clarified in advance.

Krutitskoye Compound

• Address: Krutitskaya st., 8.

The monastery in Krutitsy is one of the oldest in the capital and the whole country. Monastic life in these parts began in the 13th century. Beautiful examples of stone architecture allow you to plunge into the atmosphere of Ancient Rus'.

At one time, the monastery also began to serve as a dungeon for political prisoners. During the time of church reforms, Archpriest Avvakum was imprisoned here; in the 19th century, young Alexander Herzen was awaiting exile in Vyatka in one of the buildings; and in the 20th century, Lavrentiy Beria was imprisoned.

After the Revolution, the monastery was plundered and given to the military department. In 1971, restoration of the buildings began, and 20 years later the monastery returned to the control of the Russian Orthodox Church. In 2001, the Synodal Department for Youth Affairs was located within the walls of ancient buildings.

Pokrovsky Monastery

Elder Matrona is considered one of the most revered holy wives in Russia.

Donskoy Monastery

The men's monastic monastery in honor of the Don Icon of the Mother of God dates back to 1591.

The monastery was rebuilt more than once, almost completely changing its architectural appearance. The monastery complex was finally formed in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Due to its geographical location and significance for the state, the monastery more than once became a participant in important historical events, and famous figures were buried on its territory.

After the October Revolution, the monastery was closed and transferred to government institutions. In 1991, monastic life began to revive within the ancient walls. Currently, the monastery houses many Orthodox shrines and high reliefs of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, which was destroyed a century ago.

After the Revolution, the inhabitants of the monastery were repressed, and the buildings were nationalized. In 1991, the monastery was returned to the Church and restored. A theological seminary was opened at the monastery.
