The main city of the country - what other definition can compare with this? Probably only the "third Rome" - this is also the name of the Russian capital. Walking around Moscow turns into a real journey into the past, where monuments of ancient history, masterpieces of architecture or modern cultural layers, no less interesting, await at every step.
Moscow districts
The heart of the capital, of course, is the Kremlin with its red walls that have seen a lot, veins and arteries are the Moskva River and the little Yauza, whimsically twisting in the city center and drawing their rings as opposed to the city ones.
The metropolis itself also consists of peculiar rings, which become larger and wider towards the outskirts. The smallest, located in the center, is the Boulevard Ring. Sights are found at every turn, however, mixed with the most luxurious boutiques and restaurants. The main tourist routes run along Red Square, around the Kremlin and the so-called White City. The next ring is Sadovoe, you can't help recalling Boris Godunov's kind words, because thanks to him, another attraction has appeared on the map of Moscow. And the excursions that are held in this area will acquaint you with the merchant capital, so elegantly described by Gilyarovsky.
Historical walks in Moscow
Here you can choose one of thousands of routes, walk along famous streets, for example, along Tverskaya or walk along Arbat lanes. You can take a guide or go on a journey on your own, meeting along the way well-known alleys and churches by songs and poems, feeling the spirit of the times of Pushkin, Andrei Bely, or even the beloved bard of the twentieth century - Bulat Okudzhava.
You can arrange an acquaintance with literary Moscow, because who among the great poets and prose writers did not live here, starting with Alexander Sergeevich himself, the bully Yesenin, an expert on Ostrovsky's merchant life, and ending with the heroes of the 1960s who collected stadiums.
Moscow is good in terms of historical architecture: many ancient temples, cathedrals, churches and churches await their spectators. In the Meshchansky district of the capital, for example, there is the Sretensky monastery, in Zamoskvorechye - the Kadashevskaya Sloboda, in the Tagansky district - the Novospassky and Andronikov monasteries.
Which route is more interesting, which street or square will remain in the memory of a tourist is a big mystery. But to get an answer, you need to take at least one step.
