Moscow is one of the largest cities in the world. It will take more than one week to get to know him in all its glory. And it also happens that there are only two days for this. However, it's worth a try.
Before compiling a list of places to visit in Moscow in two days, you need to determine the time of year. Moscow in winter and Moscow in summer are two completely different cities
Winter walk in Moscow
The first on the list, of course, will be Red Square and the Kremlin. Here you can see the process of changing the guard at the Eternal Flame in the Alexander Garden. In addition, an ice rink is opened on Red Square every winter.
Also, the place where you should definitely look is Winzavod. Despite the name, today it is a center for contemporary art. Galleries, workshops, art agencies and exhibition halls are located in the shops of the former plant.
Do not forget about the Tretyakov Gallery. This museum has one of the world's largest collections of Russian fine art - about 170 thousand copies.
Be sure to go down to the Moscow metro. Of the 186 stations, 44 are cultural heritage sites. Moving from one to the other, you can see all possible areas of art: from classicism to art decor.
Walk in Moscow in summer
The first place to visit in Moscow in the summer is the Ostankino Tower. Its height is 340 meters. Climbing on it, you can enjoy the amazing view of the city.
Moscow is known for its parks. The most popular of them is named after Maxim Gorky. Muzeon is another place on this list, where you will always find an interesting exhibition. And in the north-east of the city there is the Losiny Ostrov National Park. On the territory of 12 hectares, there is a moose nursery, where those who wish have the opportunity to feed the animals from their hands.
Another hallmark of Moscow is the Stalinist skyscrapers. We are talking about the main building of Moscow State University on Vorobyovy Hills, a residential building on Kotelnicheskaya embankment, the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ukraine Hotel, a residential building on Kudrinskaya Square, an administrative and residential building near the Red Gate and the Leningradskaya Hotel. The height of these places ranges from 136 to 240 meters. When creating, the architects wanted to show all the power and greatness of the Soviet Union.
If you love Russian architecture, do not pass by the central district of Moscow - Khamovniki. There are many Orthodox churches here, such as the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, the Cathedral of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, etc. In addition, here you can visit the State Museum of A. S. Pushkin and the house - museum of A. I. Herzen.
