Colored rocks of Zhangye Danxia, China
It seems that these mountain ranges are the creation of an artist who generously painted the canvas with bright colors. According to many researchers, the rocks acquired such a color due to the fact that this area was under water for about 100 million years. After the drought, the water evaporated, and the remaining silt gave the rocks a riot of colors. In 2010, the Zhangye Rocks were included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Sea of Stars on Vaadhoo Island, Maldives
This place is the dream of all romantics. The coast is strewn with thousands of luminous lights, as if reflecting the night starry sky. This phenomenon is easily explained: flickering is created by unicellular organisms - phytoplankton. This sight is worth a sleepless night!
Great Wall of China, China
One of the largest architectural monuments in the world, with a length of 21,196 km, undoubtedly deserves attention. About 40 million tourists visit this place annually. And this incredible structure is included in the list of the seven wonders of the world.
Northern lights, Iceland
Everyone should see this magical phenomenon at least once in their life! The radiance can be observed from many parts of our vast northern country, for example, in Murmansk.

This most unusual lake in the world, with an area of 10 582 km 2, is one of the largest salt marshes in the world. But thousands of people come here not for the salt, but for the incredible beauty!
Mount Ararat, Turkey
Despite the fact that the mountain itself is located on the territory of Turkey, an extraordinary view of it opens from the side of Armenia. For the Armenian people, the mountain is a symbol of the state, and, according to the biblical tradition, this is where Noah's ark moored. The famous mountain consists of two peaks - Big Ararat (5165 m) and Small (3925 m). Ararat strikes with its beauty and majesty and is definitely worth seeing it with your own eyes!

Moscow is one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in Russia, and there are more attractions per square meter than in many European capitals. Sometimes even native Muscovites wonder where to go and what to see. So that the nerve cells of guests and residents of the capital do not burn out in the throes of choice, we have compiled top 30 most beautiful places in Moscow... The list includes the corners of the capital that have received good reviews on travel sites and profile review sites.
Pharmaceutical garden
The oldest botanical garden in Russia is open to the public every day from 10 am. You can sign up for an excursion, but perhaps the most enjoyable thing is to just wander around. The garden is nice at any time of the year; It is cool in summer and warm in winter. The garden's Instagram can give some idea of the beauties hiding behind the modest name.
Arkhangelskoye Estate
A wonderful architectural monument of Catherine's times with all the signs of the time - columns, balustrades, pseudo-antique busts and medallions with the Yusupov family coats of arms. For the beauty of the buildings and the surrounding park, the estate was nicknamed "Versailles near Moscow".
VDNKh
Well, who does not know the Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy! Having spent the last couple of decades in the form of a collapse with trays and peddlers, after the reconstruction VDNKh has miraculously transformed. Now there you can indulge in the pleasures of cultural recreation both independently and with friends or family. There are exhibitions, museums, interactive exhibitions (where you can touch and try on), bike rental and even a boat station.
Sparrow Hills
The left bank of Moscow, rising up to 80 m above the river, is one of the most beautiful places in Moscow. It is noteworthy not only for its complex and interesting relief, but also for an observation deck, from where a wonderful view of the city opens - you can see not only the giant buildings of Moscow City, but also the Novodevichy Convent and even the Cathedral of Christ the Savior.
Farmstead High Mountains
Surprisingly, this gem is hidden in the very center of Moscow - a real park of the 19th century with cast-iron lanterns, vases, classical sculpture and round rotunda pavilions. Now the manor houses a rehabilitation center for patients, but you can walk in the park without hindrance.
Griboyedov wedding palace
One of the most beautiful registry offices in Moscow is located in a building where wealthy merchants lived before the revolution. Apparently, some part of the legacy of the former owners has survived to this day - the traditional Stalinist splendor is combined here with the wealth and luxurious redundancy of the beginning of the last century. Once upon a time, this registry office steadily occupied the first places in popularity among Muscovites who want to tie the knot; since then, its position has shaken a little, but it is still one of the most beautiful. And crowded.
Catherine park
A small but very beautiful area of wildlife, sandwiched between two highways and one square. Surprisingly quiet and peaceful place (especially considering its location). And not even too crowded.
Kievskaya metro station
The embodiment of the magnificent splendor of Stalin's times - against the background of white walls, gilded stucco molding and bright mosaics on which the Ukrainian people fraternize with the Russian stand out especially clearly. And what luxurious lamps are there! Don't forget to walk through the southern lobby and appreciate the Byzantine wealth of mosaics.
Kolomenskoye Estate
The oldest building of the Kolomna estate is the Church of the Ascension of the Lord flying, as if directed to the sky, one of the best examples of hipped-roof architecture. There you can also admire the samples of the miracle of wooden architecture preserved from the past centuries - both sacred and economic.
Krutitsy courtyard
Surprisingly, once you get to the Krutitsky Compound, you seem to find yourself in another time - despite the busy highways nearby, it is quiet here, bees are buzzing, and nettle thickets seem to be straight from childhood. On the territory you can see the church buildings and temples of the XVI-XVII centuries that have survived to this day, almost unchanged.
Manor Kuskovo
A stunningly beautiful manor house built in the 18th century - it looks especially good from the side of the pond, in the calm waters of which the noble proportions of the building are reflected. It was in Kuskovo that films about Russia, which we lost, were filmed, including a series about midshipmen.
Luzhkov bridge
Officially, the bridge is called "Tretyakovsky", but people stubbornly associate it with the name of the former mayor of Moscow. The bridge is also called "kissing" - there are several iron trees on it, where lovers hang locks as a sign of the reliability of their feelings (since there are many who want to hang locks, new trees are added regularly). One of the most beautiful places for walking in Moscow - the buildings of the Tretyakov Gallery begin on one side of it, and on the other is the square of the 800th anniversary of Moscow.
Mayakovskaya metro station
Without a doubt, the most beautiful metro station in Moscow, distinguished by the laconicism and elegance of lines and colors. Its design once made a splash at an international exhibition in 1938, and since then it has continued to delight the eyes of both Muscovites and visitors to the city. Muscovites love and know her to such an extent that when the Moscow government decided to install lamps with a different color shade, the public revolted. And the lamps were returned.
Beautiful Moscow city
But this is the fruit of today's Russia, which, however, inherited the gigantomania of the USSR. If you build, so in Europe - apparently, this principle was guided by the customers of the project. Moscow City looks, of course, amazing - the dizzying structures of glass and chrome look especially favorably against the background of an ordinary city landscape.
Moscow Zoo
Get ready to spend at least 3-4 hours in the kingdom of wildlife - otherwise it will be impossible to at least briefly examine all the variety of living things. There are many animals there, they live in contentment and even delight people with the appearance of babies. It is better to visit the zoo from Wednesday to Friday - on Monday they have a cleaning day, on Tuesday part of the territory is inaccessible (although tickets will be cheaper), and on Saturday and Sunday there is a general pandemonium.
Museum of military equipment
It is located in Victory Park, located near the metro station of the same name, so it is impossible to get lost on the way to it. One of the best places for families with children, especially those who are delighted with military equipment. There are not only tanks and airplanes from the times of the war, but also cars, trains, that very lorry, praised by Simonov, and much more.
Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception
One of the largest Catholic cathedrals in the country, built before the revolution. It is distinguished by its characteristic appearance, giving rise to associations with the buildings of the High Gothic - the abundance of spiers and teeth irresistibly affects the romantic soul. The cathedral is located on a quiet street among the buildings of the middle of the last century; if you want to take a break from the gothic, it's good to just walk there.
Boring Garden
Once upon a time, all the informals of Moscow hung out here. Since then, a lot has changed - informals have moved to other sites, but the garden has remained. It is still quiet, calm, beautiful - flowers, trees, gazebos, picturesque bridges over streams and gazebos braided with climbing plants. One of the most beautiful parks in Moscow, where it is good to just walk and relax with your soul. And a few steps from Neskuchny Garden there is one of them, it is called the "Temple of the Dragon".
Novodevichy Convent
One of the most beautiful places in Moscow - you can see for yourself by seeing how the elegant red and white towers of the ancient monastery are reflected in the water surface. Once it was founded for nuns of the royal family and noble families of Russia and is still in effect. However, the admission requirements have become much lower. The famous cemetery of the same name is located nearby.
Ostankino Tower
This symbol and personification of the Soviet era is famous not only for its impressive footage, but also for an observation deck, from where stunning views of the city open. However, you can visit it only in the warm season - from May to October.
Patriarch's Ponds
Although the word "ponds" is plural, in fact there is only one pond - the rest were filled up at the beginning of the 19th century. On the other hand, a small park was set up around the remaining one, which has survived to this day. It was there, according to Mikhail Bulgakov, that two citizens met on a hot summer evening and the tragedy with Berlioz happened. The ponds can be visited at any time of the year - in summer it is cool and green, in winter they organize an ice rink, and in the rest of the year there are various city holidays.
Metro station Ploschad Revolyutsii
First of all, Revolution Square is famous for its sculptures depicting ordinary Soviet people - peasants, students, workers, athletes, sailors, engineers and so on. Do not forget to pat the Border Sheepdog on the nose for happiness.
Prechistenka street
One of the oldest streets in Moscow, the first mention of which dates back to the 16th century. Since then, everyone has been built on Prechistenka - from the boyar chambers of the 17th century to the apartment buildings of the beginning of the last century. Walking along it, especially with a guidebook in hand, will allow you to feel how Moscow lived and developed over the past four centuries.
Serebryany Bor park
Here, a Muscovite, wild from gasoline exhausts, can fall to the wide green breast of Mother Nature. The park itself is located on an artificial island, where, in addition to civilized squares with benches, there are sports grounds, several beaches, an ecological path and enclosures with animals and birds. Several beaches are also equipped, including one nudist.
Spaso-Andronikov monastery
Once the monastery towered on a steep bank above the Yauza, from which now only one name remains. It houses one of the most beautiful churches in Moscow. We recommend it for visiting if you are enthralled by the architecture of pre-Mongol Rus, when the temples did not yet have onion domes, but had modest helmets.
Tverskoy Boulevard
Tverskoy Boulevard honorably bears the title of one of the most beautiful streets in Moscow. In addition to beauty, it also differs from the length - almost a kilometer. Griboyedov, Herzen and Tsvetaeva and the rest of the Moscow aristocratic and intellectual elite once walked here. Much time has passed since then, and pedestrians have become easier - but the boulevard is still beautiful.
Frunzenskaya embankment
One of the favorite walking places for both Muscovites and guests of the capital. It is located in one of the most beautiful places in Moscow, on the banks of the river of the same name, from where a fantastic view of the capital opens. Most of the buildings are from the early to mid-20th century, styles vary from constructivism to the splendor of Stalin's skyscrapers.
Tsaritsyno estate
First of all, the estate is remarkable for its architecture - surprisingly, something like a Gothic cathedral has grown on the plains near Moscow. This is exactly the impression that the main palace complex of the estate makes, since Empress Catherine the Great wanted to have something original in her park. The manor even has its own ruins of a tower that was never a whole building. But it evokes romantic thoughts - inevitably you begin to turn around, looking for sinister monks, as well as ghosts of the knightly era.
Tsvetnoy Boulevard
Once upon a time, flowers and flower seedlings were traded here with might and main (in fact, that's why the boulevard got its name). Unlike other old Moscow streets, the architectural appearance of the boulevard is more or less homogeneous - the buildings here are mainly from the mid-19th - mid-20th centuries. The fashionable constructivist building of the Literaturnaya Gazeta adjoins the House of Gymnasts' Society and the circus, next to which there is a wonderful kind monument to Y. Nikulin.
Japanese garden
A small but very cozy garden, built by a real Japanese under the auspices of the Botanical Garden. Although the garden itself is small - wandering around it for hours, admiring the blossoming sakura, is unlikely to succeed - but meditating in the gazebos on the sophistication of Japanese landscape architecture is the very thing.
