Moscow City is a business complex built on the territory of Moscow, in the northwestern part of the city, not far from the Garden Ring. The complex contains several towers with excellent views of the city. An observation deck was opened on one of these towers.
About the observation deck
The observation deck is located on the fifty-eighth floor of the Empire Tower, located on the territory of Moscow City. It was opened on March 21, 2014, and from that moment it has been receiving constant attention from both Muscovites and guests of the capital.
The site offers an excellent view of the Moscow State University, the Academy of Sciences, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, the Ostankino TV tower and the adjacent districts of the city. The view is panoramic, so many beautiful photographs of the capital have already been taken from this tower.
It is not difficult to get to the observation deck, but it can only be done with a guide. The ascent to the top is carried out by an elevator, which travels at a speed of about 7 m / s. During the tour, you will be told about the Moscow City Business Center and will demonstrate the architectural and engineering achievements that were used to build the towers.
How to visit the observation deck
To get to the observation deck, you can either go to the Empire Tower and try to buy a ticket on the spot, or sign up for a tour in advance. The second option is preferable, since there are a lot of visitors, and the capacity of the attraction is limited, and you risk waiting for a very long time, and on some days even not getting upstairs at all.
