Moscow is immense! It is impossible to get to know this city completely and completely in a short time. But there are places that must be seen when coming to Moscow on vacation.
Instructions
Step 1
If you are visiting the capital of Russia for the first time, be sure to purchase a guidebook, city map and metro map. Believe me, they will come in handy more than once. And not only on this trip.
Step 2
To find out what is happening at the moment and how not to miss anything, visit the Afisha - Moscow website.
Step 3
First of all, go to the vicinity of Red Square to find out from which window "… Red Square is visible". There is something to see: the Kremlin, St. Basil's Cathedral, the Historical Museum (by the way, the largest museum in Russia), GUM, a monument to Minin and Pozharsky, Lobnoe mesto and, of course, the mausoleum of V. I. Lenin.
Step 4
Take a walk along the main streets of Moscow. You will love the noisy Tverskaya, the creative Arbat, and the ultra-modern New Arbat. The small streets in the city center are also very interesting. Walk around Moscow on foot. Give your walks the whole day and you won't regret this decision.
Step 5
Go down to the Moscow subway - early in the morning on a weekend or late in the evening on weekdays. Moving from station to station, you can observe a variety of styles - from classicism to art deco.
Step 6
Be sure to visit the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. It took almost 44 years to build, was blown up during the Soviet period and recreated again in the 1990s. In addition, the temple stands in an unusually interesting place: the famous monument to Peter I by Z. Tsereteli stands nearby, and Neskuchny Garden and Bolotnaya Square are also nearby.
Step 7
Get out to Sparrow Hills. There you can look at Moscow not from the bottom up, but on the contrary - an amazing panorama of the main city of Russia will open before you.
Step 8
Create a cultural program for yourself. One of the Moscow theaters (classical or modern - you decide), an art center (for example, Winzavod), and, no matter how boring it may seem, a museum, must definitely get into it. There are about 200 museums in Moscow, if you don't want to go to the Tretyakov Gallery, welcome to the Museum of Russian felt boots or the Museum of the History of Vodka.
Step 9
Love Moscow. And then she will definitely reciprocate you.
