Places that need to be visited. The most beautiful stations of the Moscow metro. Lake Seliger, Tverskaya and Novgorod region

Moscow is the largest business center and transportation assembly of Russia, so only a smaller part of our fellow citizens come purposefully here on tourist purposes. The natural question that arises almost from everyone: where it is worth going in Moscow for 2, 3, 5, etc. free days? Answer it is difficult, since all the tastes and preferences are different. But still, let's try to bring the program of staying tourists from 1 to 7 days, which will be interested in everything. Of course, the most important and interesting - at the beginning.

1 day. Red Square and Moscow Kremlin

Red Square

Duration of a walk from 1.5 hours (if you do not enter museums) up to 5-6 hours, if you visit all the museums listed here.

If you have never been in Moscow, you need to get acquainted with the city from here. Nearest metro stations - "Okhotny Ryad" (Red Line), "Theatrical" (green line) or "Revolution Square" (dark blue line). The entrance to the Red Square is free, but sometimes the area is partially or completely closed - for example, during the rehearsal of the Victory Parade and the Victory Parade itself. It is necessary to have a document certifying personality (passport or student) and a document confirming that you have arrived recently - a train ticket or a boarding pass of the aircraft), because the favorite occupation of police officers is a check of documents from all people "Nemoskovskaya" appearance.

Red Square is essentially formed using the following buildings: the Kremlin Wall with Lenin's Mausoleum in front of her, the Church of Vasily Blessed, Gum and the Historical Museum. Now more about these attractions.

Thanks to this roof, in any weather it is pleasant to make a promenade in cafes and boutiques. GUM admires tourists with rich decorations, the walkways, which are thrown on different floors, then there. It is necessary to look here if bad weather found you on Red Square or if you were hungry - there are several relatively inexpensive cafes. But the stores located in the GUM will most likely be useless to ordinary travelers - here are expensive brands and boutiques of all sorts of baubles.

The last major building on the square - Historical Museum . Most likely it will be interesting only to lovers of domestic history.

Still on the square are located Kazan Cathedral (valid) and Resurrection Gate Restored during the time of Mayor Luzhkov.

Passing through the Resurrection Gate, pay attention to the signs on the pavement - this is a zero kilometer of Russia's roads - a newly created attraction for tourists - if you make a desire and throw a coin through yourself in this place, it will certainly come true.

From the opposite side of the historical museum there is a Manege Square, which is here, then there is soaked in strange domes in the style of Luzhkov / Tsereteli. These dome are light windows for a shopping center Okhotny row, which is located under the area (several floors down). Partially the shopping complex is still located above the ground - these are a few cafes overlooking the Alexandrovsky Garden and the Kremlin Wall. In particular, here is McDonalds, in which you can drink a cola, chewing Big Mac, look at the Kremlin towers and think about the fate of world politics.

Moscow Kremlin. Duration from 2 to 5 hours

Also get to the Alexandrovsky Garden. If you go to the station: Borovitskaya (gray line), Alexandrovsky Garden (light blue line), library. IN AND. Lenin (Red Line), Arbatskaya (Dark Blue Line), forming a unique subway transplant assembly, consisting of four (!!!) stations. When you leave the car, you need to go to the signs with the inscription "Exit to the Alexandrovsky Garden", otherwise you risk getting to the surface somewhere in several quarters from here and search for Alexandrovsky garden for another half an hour.

To get inside the Kremlin, you need to buy a ticket to one of the museums. For 2016, the cheapest is the ticket for visiting temples at the Cathedral Square worth 500 rubles for adults. Russian students, retirees and children (up to 16 years) can go to the Kremlin's territory for free, upon presentation of relevant documents. Freight tickets are issued to preferential categories of citizens, but it does not give the right to watch the cathedrals and other Museums of the Kremlin.

You can also purchase tickets to

• Armory Chamber, Ticket prices of 700 rubles, works on sessions
• Diamond fund, Ticket prices 500 rubles, works on sessions
• Bell Tower Ivan Great - Works on sessions. Log in strictly to the time specified in the ticket. Each session is the maximum number of visitors 10 people. Therefore, you can really buy tickets only at 9 am if approaching the opening of the Cass. This excursion is interesting not so much by itself, and in the fact that at the end of it you will fall on the top tier of the bell tower, from where the stunning view of the cathedral area is overlooking.
• Exhibitions In the Assumption Callon and the One-way Chamber of the Patriarchal Palace (temporary exhibitions that change periodically)

In the Moscow Kremlin, you can quite walk freely. In particular, open "for the people" Cathedral Square, the territory near the Armory Chamber, the Big Kremlin Square, the exhibition of Russian and trophy guns

Practical advice.

• If you arrive on the Red Square on the subway, then probably your path will run through the famous Station "Revolution Square". Pay attention to the sculptures that decorate the columns of the station. Signals are associated with these statues, for example, it is believed that, touched by a female student, you cure from unhappy love, and losing the nose of a bronze dog, you can expect the fulfillment of desire.
• If you have paid to get into mausoleum, then pay attention to its operation mode
• If you want to make excellent frames, then try to wake up early to surround a ticket to Ivan Great bell tower. Also excellent frames of the Moscow Kremlin can be made with a large stone bridge or from a large Moskvoretsky bridge.
• If someone from your company is very tired of contemplating attractions, you can send these comrades for purchases in the shopping center Okhotny series, and to continue to enjoy history and culture yourself.

More attention from my point of view deserves Tretyakov Gallery where originals are collected by the best samples of Russian painting. From the temple of Christ the Savior you can walk - travel time will be 10-15 minutes. For a runaway inspection of the main exposition will leave for 2 hours, for a detailed study - until the day.

If classic art causes you a despondency, you should go in the opposite direction - after a little walk in Gogol Boulevard you will refuse to the Arbat Gate Square. No gate has been observed here for a long time, but the famous old Arbat streets (pedestrian) and a new Arbat (noisy, with an intense car traffic begins) from here. The best time for walking on Street Old Arbat - Evening. There are street musicians, tourists, souvenirs traders and a variety of scammers.

If the Red Square and the Kremlin are the parade symbols of the capital, then Arbat used to be a symbol of informal Moscow. Recall at least the famous "Song about Arbat" Bulat Okudzhava. Today, Arbat is a vigorous tourist center of the city, which filled benches with matryoshki and restaurants, who have not worried about the best service of visitors and at least some originality of their products. However, the walk here is still worth it. Details.

If you have a little more strength left, you can go to the end of the street New Arbat. Here is the building of the Government of the Russian Federation (White House). On the opposite side of Moscow, the river - one of the Stalinist high spirits of Moscow - Hotel Ukraine.

Flotilla Radisson Royal. Prats:

• At the Ukraine Hotel. 10-15 minutes from the metro station "Kiev" dark blue, blue or annular line.
• In the park of Gorky. Nearest Metro "Gorky Park" (red or ring line) or "Oktyabrskaya" (orange or annular line).

Ticket price from 650 rubles. Departure every half an hour later, depending on the day of the week. Everything cruise ships Built in 2009-2013, have a closed deck with panoramic windows and an open deck for walking in good weather. Thanks to the enhanced housing, navigation can be carried out all year round, with the exception of stormy weather.

The most popular walking route for tourists is, of course in the city center. From the board of the ship can be seen:

Here you can climb on one of the viewing sites:

• at an altitude of 235 meters on the 62nd floor of the "West" tower (there is also a restaurant "Sixty")
• at an altitude of 325 meters on the 89th floor of the East Tower.

The cost of excursions with a rise to the viewing platform ranges from 550 rubles, the average check of the Sixty restaurant from 2500 rubles.

Finally, for shopping lovers, you can offer to visit the shopping and entertainment center "Afimoll City".

Those who are more interested in history, it is worth returning to Kutuzovsky Avenue and continue their path where you expect several attractions related to the defense of the Fatherland. After 10 minutes, you will notice the right building of an unusual round shape. This is a museum-panorama "Borodino battle". A little further, in the middle of the avenue - Triumphal Arch In honor of the victory in the war of 1812. Here you can go through the underground transition to the other side, where the huge area is already beginning. Victory Park or Poklonnaya Mountainwho is dedicated to the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. Your attention, for sure, will attract a huge stela and fountains, which are especially beautiful at night. The extended building for Stelo is the Central Museum of the Great Patriotic War. In addition to private premises, there is an extensive open-air exhibition - Soviet, German and Japanese equipment and weapons.

Today VDNH is also an amusement park, where there is, for example, a large ferris wheel "Moscow 850". Nearby is the famous sculpture "Worker and collective farmer", which has become a symbol of Mosfilm.

Getting there is the easiest way to subway - the nearest station "VDNH". Opposite the exit from the subway, you will see the bullfight of the Sosmos Hotel, known since Soviet times, and the youth saw it in the film "Day Watch".

For walks on the IWC, you can take a couple of hours. Then you can go towards the Ostankino Tower. You can get there in several ways: on the route taxi, trolleybus or monorail road. The last method is preferred - it itself is an attraction. In addition, since 2013, at the metro and monorail road, you can drive one ticket. It is interesting and the design of this road, which is also an observation platform - from here it is possible from an unusual angle to inspect the main entrance of the VDNH and the Museum of Cosmonautics, a monument "Worker and collective farmer" and the estate "Ostankino".

The nearest stop of Monorail to the Ostankino Tower is "Teleto". How easy it is to guess, near the building in which the "First Channel" studio, NTV, TVC, MUN TV and other channels are located nearby. However, outside this building is very inconspicuous, much more interesting is located nearby the Ostankin Tower, which is difficult not to notice.

Despite the high cost (for 2016 - 980 rubles), it is worth climbing on the viewing platform from which unique views of the capital open. The entrance for excursions is located on the side of the Novomoskovskaya street. Address - Street Academician Queen 15, Corpus 1. It is worth noting that in cloudy weather with a low cloudiness to spend money on a tour - you will not see anything, but it will really be able to feel like a hedgehog in the fog in a famous cartoon.

On the other side of the monorail road there is another landmark of Moscow - Ostankino Manor. Although at the moment (2016), the palace is closed for reconstruction, you can stroll through the park, which is especially beautiful in the "Golden Autumn".

Also, close to VDNH is an interesting attraction - Rostokinsky Aqueduct. It was built in the 18th century under Catherine II for the water supply of the capital. With its own type and design of the aqueduct similar to the famous Roman counterparts.

If you do not like big cities, crowds of people and cluster cars, then in Moscow there is still a couple of interesting places for you. These are the famous Moscow estates. In a sense, they are analogues of the royal estates near St. Petersburg.

Perhaps the most ancient manor is Kolomna . Her story dates back to the times of Ivan the Terrible. The main attraction, which remained from the 16th century - the Ascension Church, which is also a unique shape in the form of a tent. By the way, another such tent church is only in Nizhny Novgorod. But it will most likely strike you, not a form, but by sizes and location - on the high bank of the Moscow River. This is especially impressive as this white building in cloudy weather on the background of gray sky.

Another attraction in Kolomensky is the Palace of Alexei Mikhailovich, who was called the eighth miracle of the world. But before our time it was not preserved, tourists show a recently recreated copy.

Even in Kolomensky there is a huge apple garden especially beautiful in May during flowering and the Wooden architecture museum, which brought various wooden buildings from all over Russia (genuine, unlike the palace).

Kolomna is famous among the lovers of mysticism and everything inexplicable. Here are the girl's girlfriend and goose stone. It is believed that the first gives women beauty, health and fertility, and the second gives men miraculous power. The origin of stones is not clear. There are many legends telling about unusual phenomena in these places.

On the same subway branch, but a little away is another famous metropolitan manor - Tsaritsyno. The estate began to be built under Catherine II, but never was completed. Until recently, the Palace in Tsaritsyno was a certain Colossee or Parfenon in the Gothic style in Moscow. Dilapidated walls inspired some special reverence and unique atmosphere. The ruins attracted Extreme lovers and simply the "stupid" citizens who loved climbing ruins from childhood, which sometimes led to accidents.

The main attractions of Moscow - the Kremlin and the Red Square, Street Tverskaya and Arbat, the Big Theater, Gum, the Church of Christ the Savior are located in the city center and are very popular with tourists.

You will open a beautiful architecture monument, which was built in 1907 by the architect Kuznetsov in a fabulous Russian style with the decorative elements of Baroque and Modern. Compound is an income house of the Savvin monastery. I wonder what it is up to

1937 was directly on Tverskaya. In 1938-40. Outside the streets should have moved to the north. Many buildings were ruthlessly demolished, but here the Savvinsky house was lucky - with the help of a special technology developed by Handel engineer, it was moved to the depth of the quarter to a new foundation. It is difficult to imagine, but a construction weighing at 23 thousand tons moved at night on November 4, 1939. And that is very surprising - without samping his tenants.

In November last year, my wife and I went to an independent trip to India. Flights Aeroflot flew from Yekaterinburg to Delhi with a transfer to Sheremetyevo. We specifically bought tickets in such a way that there was an opportunity to spend the day in Moscow and see the most interesting places of the capital. Today I will show you a route that drove acquaintances for more than 10 times: the Red Square - the Church of Christ the Savior - the WCC (VDH). We will see the excursion map, learn how to get to the sights and see photos.

Route self-tours in Moscow and the location map of interesting places

As I have already noted, the scheme described below, I have been checked repeatedly in practice: we went on this route with people of different ages, weights and interests. Therefore, I can say with confidence that in one day I see more hardly possible: either exhausted so that there will be no desire to go somewhere else, or it is not enough time to take time if you have several hours at your disposal.

Usually I am starting an excursion from a visit to Red Square. Here we are watching the Kremlin, the Cathedral of Basil Blessed, Gum, Lenin's Mausoleum, the grave of an unknown soldier in the Alexandrovsky Garden. Further walk to the Temple of Christ the Savior, with Patriarchal Bridge Before which overlooks a stunningly beautiful view of the Kremlin Towers. Here is a monument to Peter I.

By this time, the tourist was already hungry enough, so you can go to eat in a small cafe "Pelmeni" near the church of Christ the Savior (address: Liviva Street, 6). About 50% of cases, my travelers no longer find the strength to move on and the excursion ends.

If the desire to see the sights of Moscow did not pass, go down in the subway and we go to the station "Vorobyev Mountains", where half an hour along the steep slope rose to the viewing platform. It is opposite the Lomonosov MSU building. From the marble parapet, a wonderful panorama on the stadium "Luzhniki", Moscow-City, the Ostankino Tower, Stalin's Highways (Ukraine Hotel, the Kudrin Square and the MFA Building), the White House and the Church of Christ the Savior are far away.

In November 2016, my wife and I decided to make changes to the route of excursions in Moscow and instead of Sparrow Mountains went to the VDNH, where they planned to take pictures of the famous fountain "Friendship of Peoples" and the "Worker and Kolkhoz Day" monument.

How to get from Sheremetyevo Airport, Domodedovo and Vnukovo to Red Square

Before talking about our excursion on the sights of Moscow, let's discuss how to get to the center under which I mean the Kremlin and the Red Square. It is more convenient and easier to go here at the subway (I advise you to carefully examine the scheme of the Moscow Metro and take it with you on the trip).

To get to the Red Square, you need to go on one of the stations:

• Revolution Square (blue branch).
• Okhotny row (red line).
• Lenin Library (Red).
• Alexandrovsky Garden (Blue).
• Theatrical (green route).

If you flew to Moscow to Sheremetyevo airports or Domodedovo, located at different parts of the capital, then getting to the center you will be on the green line of the subway. At the same time, from Sheremetyevo, you can get to the metro station "Belorusskaya" (Belarusian Railway Station) at the ambulance "Aeroexpress". I like this option with the train with the fact that you can easily calculate the time on the way (every half hour departs, on the road 35 minutes). But the price of the ticket is quite high: 420 rubles for passing one way. When you do not rush, ready to spend some time in traffic jams for the sake of substantial savings, then sit on a bus number 949 (the cost of 75 rubles, the mode of operation - from 6:45 to 21:45) or the bus number 851 (100 rubles, from 5: 37 to 00:49) And half an hour get to the River Station station on the green branch. From here, without transplanting you can get to the "Theatrical".

From Domodedovo Airport, you can reach Aeroexpress to Paveletskaya (Paveletsky Railway Station). On the way - 45 minutes, ticket price - 470 rubles. The economical way is to get to the Red Square of Bus No. 308, which is sent from the public transport stop 100 meters from the entrance group No. 2 and pleases the passengers to the Domodedovskaya metro station. And "Paveletskaya", and Domodedovskaya belong to the green line, which needs to be reached before the "Theatrical" stop.

The third airport is "Vnukovo". A speedy and expensive accommodation take from it to the center - at Aeroexpress to Kievskaya metro station (Kiev Railway Station). From here, on the blue branch, we are going to stop the "Revolution Square". Cheap method: on bus number 611 to Salaryevo station on a red branch. Probably, the route excursions at interesting places in Moscow to start with visits to the observation deck "Vorobyev Mountains", going at the University's stop and having passed 2.5 kilometers on foot towards the main building of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov.

I want to say a few words about such a way to get to the Kremlin as a taxi. At Moscow airports, as well as everywhere in Russia, you will be met by the Baryg Supplement, offering to be summarized to the center. If you do not want to spoil your vacation and risk life, do not agree. You have money - go to the official rack and pay the passage by advance. In 2005, I witnessed an unpleasant situation: I lived 2 weeks in the capital and was supposed to meet a young colleague, arriving from Yekaterinburg, with whom together had to go to the meeting. I have forbidden him to use a taxi service, offering to get to the center on the subway. In the appointed "Iks hour" calls:

- I did not find where the Aeroexpress stop in Domodedovo. Taxi food. The driver promised to throw for a penny: for 100 rubles all.

- You're crazy? Even in Yekaterinburg, travel from Koltsovo Airport to the center costs 350 rubles, and here - Moscow!

- Do not worry. Everything is fine. The taxi driver has shown the price list - this price is indicated there ...

After 5 minutes calls back: "What should I do? The cost is 100 rubles per kilometer ... "In general, long negotiations with a fraudster and as a result I had to give a cell phone and add money to add to the metro ...

I myself fell into a similar situation in Romania, in Bucharest. They got into the car, moved, the counter began to spin like an abnormal one. We began to protest. The driver immediately blocked the door, caused the "helpers" by the radio ... Landing, the passage of 200 meters and the landing cost 10 dollars.

Once again: you want to get to the Red Square on a taxi - pay on the prepayment rack or order a car in advance, the benefit of the Internet now has each. Current timetables For trains in Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo and Vnukovo and ticket prices, see the Official Aeroexpress website. Ways to get by bus Watch on the official websites of Sheremetyevo airports, Domodedovo and Vnukovo.

What sights we managed to view in Moscow for 1 day

We flew to the capital in the morning on November 7, 2015. There was no sense to go to the Red Square, because in the first half of the day there was a parade. We decided to first go to the VDNH (exhibition of achievements of the national economy, now wears the name of the All-Russian Exhibition Center).

How to come out of the Metro "VDNH" to the outside, we see the rocket, wrinkling in heaven. This is a monument to the conquerors of space, located at the main entrance of the exhibition center.

At the base of Obelisk, the Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics is located. We go to him, along the way, admiring the view of the Ostankino TV bashney.

Time before the evening flight to Delhi we have a lot, so we decide to see the museum exposition. Here, the eyes of tourists are a lot of exhibits, including satellites and missile layouts, you can also see a documentary about how humanity conquered space.

In principle, the exhibits of the Granny Museum are not allowed for free. But, while I did not catch me, I managed to make several spyware inside.

At 750 meters from the central entrance of the EDPH, it is probably the most famous monument in the CIS - "Worker and Kolkhoznitsa". Of course, they could not miss the chance to not take a picture and it too.

Now you need to sit down in the subway and get to the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. Usually to the question of how to get to him, they answer as follows: on foot from Red Square through the Alexandrovsky Garden, on Mokhovaya Street (in the area of \u200b\u200bLenin's library, you need to go to the other side of the road to the underground transition) and then in the street Volkheonka. Time for such a walk - 30 minutes.

11. Map with a scheme, how to get from Red Square to the Temple of Christ the Savior and the Patriarch Bridge.

But, as already mentioned earlier, in Moscow on November 7, there was a parade and to the Kremlin was still useless to go. We reached this attraction on the subway (Kropotkinskaya Station, Red Line). From the northeastern side of the Cathedral, a small opening is broken with the monument to the King liberator Alexander II.

The huge building of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior is impressive with its gigantic sizes (capacity - 10'000 people, a small district city can be accomplished; height is 103 meters, like a 35-Tiette skyscraper; Rospis area - 22'000 M.KV.) and finishing.

The Cathedral Building itself is Kenotaf (the symbolic grave, without the burial of the remains) of the warriors of the Russian army, who fell in the Patriotic War of 1812 and in foreign hits 1797-1806, 1814-1815. Directly opposite the Cathedral of Christ the Savior - the Patriarch Bridge over the Moscow River. On the other shore you can see the building of the Red October factory, in one of the premises of which is now located the photo gallery of the Lumiere brothers.

One of the most picturesque and recognizable views on the Moscow Kremlin opens from the bridge.

On the other side, you can see one of the "Stalinist heights" (may, Muscovites will be prompted, as it is called this building).

Also, from the Patriarchal Bridge, you can observe a monument to Peter I work so honored by the residents of Moscow of the sculptor Zurab Tsereteli.

Making memorable pictures, we decide that the parade and people have already ended on Red Square. We go on foot to the Alexandrovsky Garden. On the way, it's time to eat - in the cafe "Pelmeni" (address: Liviva, House 6). Here, quite democratic prices for Moscow prices for incredibly delicious Yakut dumplings (with deer) and another yummy.

So, from our list of attractions that you can see in Moscow, we have already crossed out the Museum of Cosmonautics, VVTN SDNH, a monument "Worker and collective farmer", the Cathedral of Christ the Savior and views from the Patriarchal Bridge. We move to the Red Square, on the way, photographed Novodel - a monument to Patriarch Hermogene in the Alexandrovsky Garden.

Here is a memorial architectural ensemble "Unkown soldiers grave". It was discovered by the 25th anniversary of the defeat of the fascist forces near Moscow.

Finally, we hit the Red Square - the main attraction for millions of tourists of Russia and the whole world, first came to see Moscow.

Let me remind you that November 7, 2015 at 13:00 there was a solemn procession in honor of the 74-year anniversary of the 1941 parade on Red Square in Moscow. Therefore, they gathered more than ever tourists, everyone wanted to take pictures on the background of the Kremlin and the old military equipment.

By the way, how many times there were in Moscow, and I did not have the opportunity to get into the mausoleum. For reference: Operating mode - Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday from 10:00 to 13:00.

Another attraction, which can be seen on Red Square - the Church of Basil Blessed. His full name: Cathedral of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos, that on the RB. It was built initially by order of Ivan the Terrible in honor of the capture of Kazan.

Near the temple in 1931, I placed a monument to Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky (in general, it was opened in 1818). Before that, he stood in the middle of the Red Square.

On this strength, our strengths ended and left one desire: it is soon enough to sit down somewhere. In the evening they did not want to risk, checking the seriousness of Moscow traffic jams, so they went to Sheremetyevo at Aeroexpress.

Probably, you realized that by going to such a long excursion in Moscow, you need to wear comfortable shoes - the girl penetrate on heels. If you find yourself in the capital early and desire to see more interesting places will be strong, and the time is more, I can suggest an extended route with sights that I once passed through the capital: from morning to late evening.

• Big Theater (Metro Station "Theatrical").
• Kremlin and Red Square.
• Victory Park and Museum-panorama "Borodino battle".
• The observation deck "Vorobyev Mountains" at MSU overlooking Moscow City.
• WVC (VDH), where the colors festival passed.

If you live in Moscow for a long time, I recommend going to Tula on the weekend (4 hours by train), where you can see the Tula Kremlin and go to Clear Polyana (Museum-Manor Lion Tolstoy). There is completely delightful in summer: meadows, centenary oaks, lake with yellow water lily. An interesting excursion!

Those tourists who want more comfort and the thoughtfulness of their route along the capital can order an excursion. For example, check Sputnic8 offers.

Moreover, the monuments were perpetuated not only revolutionaries, soldiers and heroes of labor - there are farmers, athletes, students, pioneers and even mother and father holding in the hands of children. It is worth paying attention to the figures of the parachutes, girls with a rifle and sportsman-discol cakes, considered unlawful symbols of Soviet feminism.
