Moscow is a city that will be remembered by everyone in the travel lovers club.
Moscow is a city with a thousand opportunities and unique places that can surprise even the most experienced traveler with not only historical, but also modern architecture. However, in order to fully understand it, it is necessary to visit its sights. The Moscow Kremlin and Red Square are the real heart of Russia. The Kremlin towers have long been associated with Russian statehood. That is why this attraction is very popular among tourists.
Moscow Kremlin
On Red Square, tourists can visit the Historical Museum and the painted St. Basil's Cathedral.
The Armory Museum-Treasury is also part of the Grand Kremlin Palace complex. The museum keeps precious objects made in the Kremlin workshops, as well as received as a gift from embassies of foreign states.
GUM, the most famous department store of the entire post—Soviet space, is located next to Red Square. This is a building with stunning architecture and modern brands.
We pass the GUM and get to the Zaryadye Park. The main feature of the park is that all its objects are “hidden” under the landscape, and the park territory is divided into four climatic zones: forest, northern landscape, steppe and flood meadows.
Next to Red Square there is also the Bolshoi Theater — one of the largest in Russia and one of the most important opera and ballet theaters in the world.
Another unique place that is recommended to visit is the Old Arbat. This is a street that can be seen in many films and about which many songs have been sung. A pedestrian street with an abundance of pleasant establishments attracts more and more tourists.
Who has not been to the observation deck on the Sparrow Hills, he has not seen the beauty of the panorama of Moscow, which opens up to travelers. The observation deck has a good location - in the very center of the city and at the same time on a hill.
The Tretyakov Gallery is a symbol of the cultural life of Moscow, which contains more than 100 thousand canvases, sculptures and objects of decorative and applied art. The Tretyakov Gallery often hosts exhibitions of paintings by famous artists or brings exhibits from world museums. There you can see the works of Andrei Rublev, Feofan the Greek, V.A.Serov, I.E.Repin, V.D.Polenov, I.I.Shishkin, A.K.Savrasov, V.M.Vasnetsov and other famous artists.

An interesting attraction is the Patriarch's Ponds. The park complex with an area of 2.2 hectares, in which there is a pond (9900 m2) with a depth of up to 2.5 m, is a great place for a walk.
There are also several famous religious and cultural places:
The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour is the main memorial church in Moscow, a memorial church erected in honor of the victory and in memory of those who fell in the war of 1812.
Novodevichy Monastery, which was founded by Grand Duke Vasily III on May 13, 1524. During the first two centuries of its existence, it served as a place of imprisonment for female royalty.
The exhibition of achievements of the national economy (VDNH) deserves special attention, with beautiful pavilions, which, in themselves, are outstanding architectural structures. For many years, this place has attracted both guests and residents of the capital with its beauty, interesting exhibitions and other events.
Recently, the Ferris wheel “The Sun of Moscow” opened at VDNH, which offers a stunning view.
The aerial ecological trail at VDNH is a walking path laid on the territory of the landscape park “Wild Nature". The trail has interesting bends and leads through the most beautiful corners of the park. It is noteworthy that the height of the ecotrope in some places reaches 6.5 m, which allows you to literally walk through the crowns of some trees. And the evening illumination makes the trail very beautiful.
