3. Moscow Kremlin[SEE MAP]

This famously fortified complex is remarkably home to five palaces and four cathedrals and is the historic, political and spiritual center of the city. The Kremlin serves as the residence for the country’s president. It has been used as a fort, and this fact is made clear by its sheer size. The Kremlin’s outer walls were built in the late 1400s.

Under Ivan III, better known as Ivan the Great, the Kremlin became the center of a unified Russian state, and was extensively remodeled. Three of the Kremlin’s cathedrals date to his reign that lasted from 1462-1505. The Deposition Church and the Palace of Facets were also constructed during this time. The Ivan the Great Bell Tower was built in 1508. It is the tallest tower at the Kremlin with a height of 266 feet (81 meters).

Joseph Stalin removed many of the relics from the tsarist regimes. However, the Tsar Bell, the world’s largest bell, and the Tsar Cannon, the largest bombard by caliber in the world, are among the remaining items from that era. The Kremlin Armory is one of Moscow’s oldest museums as it was established more than 200 years ago. Its diamond collection is impressive.

The Kremlin’s gardens – Taynitsky, Grand Kremlin Public and Alexander – are beautiful. The Kremlin has also served as the religious center of the country, and there is a tremendous number of preserved churches and cathedrals here. The collections contained within the museums include more than 60,000 historical, cultural and artistic monuments. Those who enjoy the performing arts will want to consider attending a ballet or concert at the State Kremlin Palace. Completed in 1961, it is the only modern building in the Kremlin.

Founded in 1524, the Novodevichy Convent is a place steeped in history. Behind the walls that once served as a fortress, there are four cathedrals with a fascinating icon collection and a venerable cemetery. Back in the day it was common for women from noble families to retire in monasteries, and the Novodevichy Convent had some notable residents such as Princess Sophia and Eudoxia Lopukhina, both related to Peter the Great (and imprisoned by him). The former was his half-sister who claimed the throne; the latter was his first wife, who stood in the way of his marriage to Catherine I.

One of Russia’s most visited cathedrals, Christ the Saviour is a truly remarkable site. The grandiose cathedral was built in the 1990s where a 19th-century church of the same name stood before it was demolished in 1931 by the Soviet authorities. Designed to look like its predecessor, the modern building also contains the icon Christ Not Painted by Hand by Sorokin, which survived the demolition of the original cathedral. The cathedral was the site of feminist punk collective Pussy Riot’s 2012 protest that led to the imprisonment of several members.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro is often credited with being the most beautiful metro systems in the world. When it was being designed it was not just envisaged as a means of getting from A to B but also as a celebration of the workers. Many of the stations are decorated with themed panels, mosaics, chandeliers, sculptures and stain-glassed windows of various artistic styles and look more like underground palaces than metro stations. As such the metro is a tourist attraction in itself and should not be missed. It is also possible to visit the best stations as part of a guided tour. The most beautiful stations are located on the circle line. In any case the metro is often the best way of travelling around the capital as it is extremely efficient and avoids Moscow’s notorious traffic jams.

One of the main sights in the west of Moscow is Victory Park (Park Pobedy) which was create to commemorate the Soviet victory in the Second World War. Today it is an important venue for Russia’s Victory Day celebrations on 9 May where veterans gather and are thanked and given flowers by younger generations. The park is dominated by the massive Victory Monument which stands in front of the semi-circular Central Museum of the Great Patriotic War. More monuments can be found in the park, including monuments dedicated to the peoples of the Soviet Union who united against Hitler and to the USSR’s allies, as well as a haunting Holocaust memorial.

4. Bolshoi Theatre[SEE MAP]

The Bolshoi Theatre is the main theater in the country. The amazing opera and ballet performances it has put on over the centuries go a long way in explaining Russia’s rich history of performing arts.

While the Bolshoi Ballet Company was established in 1776, the theater itself was opened in 1825. The glittering, six-tier auditorium is lavishly and decadently decorated; it is a fitting setting for the world-class performances that take place on its stage.

Spending a night watching a performance of such classics as The Nutcracker or Swan Lake at the Bolshoi Theatre is sure to be a memorable experience and the beauty all around you only adds to the sense of occasion.

15. Kremlin Armoury[SEE MAP]

One of the oldest museums in the city, the Kremlin Armoury has a wealth of treasures; highlights include the ornate Grand Siberian Railway egg, the historic Cap of Monomakh and the stunning Imperial Crown of Russia which often has a crowd of tourists around it, jostling to take a photo.

Once the royal armory, there are loads of fascinating objects on display. Perusing the many sabers, jewelry, armor and more is as interesting as it is educational and entertaining and the swords are so finely crafted that you’ll almost wish you could pick up one and wield if yourself.

Established in 1851, the museum is situated in the Moscow Kremlin.

Сочинение про Москву

Once you visit Moscow, you will never forget it. I would like to tell you more about this amazing city.

Moscow is the capital and the largest city of Russia. Moscow is located in the north-central part of the European part of Russia. Moscow was founded in 1147 by Prince Yuri Dolgoruky. Due to the convenient location, the city grew and expanded. If you look at the central part of Moscow from a bird’s eye view, this city will look like a wheel. The Kremlin is situated in the center. Nowadays it is the center of the Russian Federation’s government.

There are a lot of museums (about 150), exhibitions and various galleries in the city.

The largest university of the country is the Moscow State University that was founded in 1755. The university is located in Moscow. Every year it opens its doors to thousands of students from different parts of Russia.

Moscow provides great job opportunities. Everyone here will find a job to his or her liking.

In fact, there is no perfect city. Therefore, it is worth mentioning some disadvantages of Moscow. First, there is a huge number of people. Most likely, a person who prefers living alone will not like it very much. Secondly, the traffic jams. Sometimes it seems that you spend a lifetime in traffic jams and queues. Moscow traffic jams stretch for kilometers. Many people refuse to buy cars in Moscow due to traffic jams and limited parking spaces. Instead, they prefer to use the subway.

What can you visit in Moscow?

One of the main sights of the capital, which is worth visiting, is Red Square. Red Square is the beloved place of Moscow citizens. It is located behind the Kremlin wall. Every year, there are military parades dedicated to the great holiday of the Russian people — the day of the Great Victory. There are always many people on Red Square every day, and there is a special cheerful atmosphere.

The Kremlin, which is the official residence of the Russian President, remains an importance place for everybody. The Kremlin is a real treasury. An eternal flame burns in front of the Kremlin’s Kutafya tower in memory of the heroes of the Great Patriotic War. The changing of the guard takes place every hour.

Every day, a large number of people lines up outside the Lenin Mausoleum to look at Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. He was the leader of the communist movement.

In Moscow, it is worth seeing St. Basil’s Cathedral, the famous cathedral with multi-colored domes.

In the center of Moscow, you can visit the Alexandrovsky Garden. The garden is famous for its architectural monuments and incredibly beautiful plants.

One of the favorite places of Moscow citizens is Gorky Park. You can find any kind of entertainment in the park. You can take part in free courses or go cycling or skateboarding. You can rent a bike and ride to Neskuchny Garden, the other famous park. At the end of Neskuchny Garden, you find yourself on Vorobyovy Gory. There is a beautiful view of the entire city in this place.

Every person who visits Moscow should go to the subway. Many people are using the subway instead of a car or taxi. In addition, it is quick and inexpensive to get anywhere by the subway. Many stations have a unique design and a fascinating history.

When you are in Moscow you should visit the following sights: VDNKh (which is the Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy), the Tretyakov Gallery, the Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics, the Armory, Old Arbat and New Arbat streets, Moscow City skyscrapers, Patriarch’s Ponds, Ostankino TV Tower and other places.

Moscow is the most important industrial city in Russia. Moscow’s factories produce a wide range of products: automobiles, chemical equipment, electrical equipment, steel, textiles, and measuring instruments.

Moscow is a city of contrasts. A city of great opportunities, where everyone can find himself or herself.

I was born in Nizhny Novgorod. It is my hometown. I have been living here all my life. Let me tell you more about it. It is a very lively place, located in Central Russia. It was founded in 1221. Back then it used to be a major trading hub. People from all over the country came to Nizhny Novgorod to buy and sell goods. Now it has a population of one million and five hundred thousand citizens, it is the 6th biggest city in Russia. Nowadays it is a large city with a big city center and suburbs. A lot of companies have their headquarters in Nizhny Novgorod. It is one of the biggest economic centers in Russia. Of course, each city has its advantages and disadvantages. Let’s start with the advantages. There are many ways of transportation in Nizhny Novgorod. You can travel by bus, by trolley, you can even take the underground. Also, Nizhny Novgorod has an advantageous geographical location because it is located between two major cities — Moscow and Kazan. However, there are also some disadvantages. First of all, it is very dirty and noisy because of traffic jams. Second, it hasn’t got a lot of public areas, such as parks, where you can spend your time with friends. Third, life here is pretty expensive, and the prices of houses and apartments are quite high. In conclusion, I would like to say that despite all the disadvantages I like my city because I was born there and have a lot of good memories of it.

2. Red Square[SEE MAP]

Lying at the heart of Moscow, Red Square is the most important and impressive square in the city. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions due to its wealth of historical sights and cultural landmarks.

Drenched in history, the huge square is home to incredible sights such as the Kremlin, St. Basil’s Cathedral and Lenin’s Mausoleum, among others. Consequently, it is not to be missed when in Moscow as it really is home to the city’s most stunning monuments.

It is here that many important moments in Russian history took place; the former marketplace has hosted everything from Tsar’s coronations and public ceremonies to rock concerts and Soviet military parades. Wandering around the massive square is a humbling experience and undoubtedly one of the highlights the city has to offer.

Beautiful Stations of the Moscow Metro

Mayakovskaya (Russian: Маяковская)

Opened on November 11, 1938

The hall of Mayakovskaya Metro Station

This elegant station impresses with its simple columns made of marble and stainless steel. Cupola mosaics show the achievements of the soviet aviation. The station was named after the Russian poet Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893-1930). As the German Army approached Moscow in 1941, Stalin held a speech here addressing the Supreme Soviet before sending Russian troops to the front.

Mayakovskaya station was designed by the architect Alexei Dushkin and won a Grand Prix at the New York World’s Fair 1938. Alexei Dushkin also designed the stations Kropotkinskaya (Russian: Кропоткинская) und Ploshchad Revolyutsii (Russian: Площадь Революции).

Mosaic of Komsomolskaya Metro station

Komsomolskaya (Russian: Комсомольская)

Opened on March 15, 1935. Opening of the demolished and rebuilt hall of the ring station: 1952

This monumental station has many different platforms and one of the longest escalators of the Moscow Metro —  80 meters. The Ring line station is decorated with eight gold mosaics, huge chandeliers and marble columns.

Kropotkinskaya (Russian: Кропоткинская)

The hall of Kropotkinskaya Metro Station

Opened on May 15, 1935

Everything in Kropotkinskaya station seems to be in harmony:  the simple structure of the columns, pink-grey  granite floor, pale marble walls and indirect lights.

Arbatskaya (Russian: Арбатская)

Pavilion of Arbatskaya Metro Station

Opened on May 15, 1935

Arbatskaya station of the Filyovskaya line is worth seeing from the outside. The entrance pavilion has the shape of the Soviet star. Although it would be better to see it from above, one can still recognize the shape looking at the pavilion at a distance.

One of the statues of Ploshchad Revolyutsii Metro Station

Ploshchad Revolyutsii (Russian: Площадь Революции)

Opened on March 13, 1938

The main attraction of this station of the Moscow Metro are life-size bronze statues arranged in pairs under marble covered arches. They represent people who contributed to the success of the Soviet Union. Among them are workers, soldiers, sailors, sportsmen, a mother with an infant or a girl reading a book.

Ceiling mosaic of Novokuznetskaya Metro Station

Novokuznezkaya (Russian: Новокузнецкая)

Opened on November 20, 1943

This metro station is dedicated to the heroes of the Red Army. Along the walls one can see scenes from the Second World War. There are torch-like lamps in the middle of the hall.

Novoslobodskaya (Russian: Новослободская)

Glass panels of Novoslobodskaya Metro Station

Opened on January 30, 1952

Eye-catchers of this rather beautiful metro station are stained glass panels with motives of Russian tapestry. The glass panels are backlit and resemble church windows with daylight gleaming through.

Kievskaya (Russian: Киевская)

Mosaic of Kievskaya Metro Station

Opened on April 5, 1953

The main theme of this station is the friendship between Russia and Ukraine. One can easily recognize it just looking at its mosaics. Marble covered walls, ornaments and golden chandeliers give Kievskaya station a touch of glamour.

Novodevichy Convent

One of Moscow’s most beautiful sights is the Novodevichy Convent which was included on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2004. Novodevichy Convent, whose name translates as New Maiden Convent, was founded as a fortified convent in 1524 on the orders of Grand Prince Vasili III of Moscow to celebrate Russia’s recapture of Smolensk in 1514. Today the convent is run as a branch of the State Historical Museum, although some of its churches have been reopened for worship. Next to the convent is the equally interesting Novodevichye Convent where many of the most famous figures in Russian culture are buried, including Mikhail Bulgakov, Anton Chekhov, Sergey Eisenstein, Nikolai Gogol, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Yuri Nikulin, Mstislav Rostropovich, Konstantin Stanislavsky and many more.

Moscow State University

Situated around the centre of Moscow are seven gothic style skyscrapers which were built under Stalin and have since become known in English as the Stalin Skyscrapers or the Seven Sisters. Perhaps the most impressive of these is the main building of the Lomonosov Moscow State University which stands on the top of Sparrow Hills (Vorobyovy Gory); it is certainly the tallest of the seven standing at 182 metres tall or 240 metres tall if you include the spire. It was built between 1949 and 1953 and its main architect was Lev Rudnev. Its facade is decorated with sculptures by the famous sculptress Vera Mukhina. In addition to the spectacular building, just outside the front of the university is a viewing platform from where you can enjoy great views of the city.

Places of Interest in Moscow

Moscow is the biggest city of Russia and its capital. The city is situated on the Moskva River and was found more than 800 years ago. Nowadays, Moscow is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It houses many attractive parks and squares, great architectural wonders and countless places of interest. Special attention is always put to the city center, as there are the most famous sights. Among them, the outstanding Kremlin and the Red Square, the Bolshoi and the Maly Theaters, Saint Basil’s Cathedral, the Historical Museum, the Armoury Chamber and many others.

Gorky Park

Moscow is actually one of the greenest capital cities with many parks and even forests within its borders. The most famous of its parks is probably Gorky Park which was established along the bank of the River Moskva in 1928 and named in honour of the author Maksim Gorky in 1932. In 2011 the park was given a new lease of life following a large-scale renovation. Many of its avant-garde buildings were restored and its tacky out-dated amusement rides were removed with the park being transformed into a modern, eco-friendly recreational area with many areas for sports and activities. In winter the park turns into the biggest ice rink in Europe. The park continues along the river as Neskuchny Sad (Not-Boring Gardens) and then the Sparrow Hills Nature Reserve. Since the recent renovation, the park has become extremely popular with Muscovites and visitors to the city.

Moscow-City

Москва-Сити «Москва-Сити» или Moscow-City – это новый дело­вой рай­он в сти­ле модерн, кото­рый стал излюб­лен­ным местом для всех туристов.

In Moscow City there are office buildings, shopping malls, leisure centres, exhibition centre, restaurants, elite apartments and flats and even Matrimonial Centre. – В Москва-Сити есть офис­ные зда­ния, тор­го­вые и раз­вле­ка­тель­ные цен­тры, выста­воч­ный центр, ресто­ра­ны, элит­ные апар­та­мен­ты и квар­ти­ры и даже Дво­рец Бракосочетаний.

Moscow City is a business district designed to comply with international standards. – Москва-Сити – это биз­нес-квар­тал, спро­ек­ти­ро­ван­ный с уче­том меж­ду­на­род­ных стандартов.

Many people do not know that the length of all streets in this city put together is more than 4350 kilometers. There are a lot of hotels that offer rooms in various price categories. However, some of the hotels are considered to be the most expensive hotels in the world. Ostankino Tower is deemed to be the highest in Europe (540 meters), but it takes the 8th place in the world. – Не мно­гие зна­ют, что про­тя­жен­ность всех улиц горо­да состав­ля­ет более 4350 км. В Москве нахо­дит­ся огром­ное коли­че­ство оте­лей раз­лич­ной цено­вой кате­го­рии. одна­ко имен­но здесь нахо­дят­ся самые доро­гие оте­ли мира. Остан­кин­ская теле­баш­ня счи­та­ет­ся самой высо­кой в Евро­пе (540 м), но зани­ма­ет 8‑е место в мире.

Moscow Skyscrapers Residential Area

As I have mentioned before 20% of the Moscow City’s space is allocated to apartments. The prices vary depending on the size, interior design and floor. Here is one of the examples that I found on one of the popular Moscow real estate websites.

This 500 square meters (about 5,500 square feet) apartment located on the 54th floor of the Federation Tower is on sale for $6,000,000. It features an expensive interior design by the well-known Hirsch Bedner Associates headquartered in California.

The apartment has 5 rooms including a 150 square meters (1600 square feet) living room. Looks nice!

The most expensive apartment in the district is located on 2 floors (58th & 59th) of the Empire tower. It occupies the space of 950 square meters (about 11,000 square feet), includes 270 degrees panorama windows and costs $17million.

Достопримечательности Москвы для детей

Classic children’s routes in Moscow are not much different from adults: schoolchildren must spend on Red Square and Kremlin museums, the Alexander Garden, and on other days diversify the cultural and entertainment program. Cognitive and interesting will be a walk through the zoological Darwin Museum, the exhibits of which will not leave indifferent any children. Fairy-tale expositions can be seen in the Pushkin Museum, the Museum of Russian Valenki, the House of Fairytales and the Ice Museum.

Do not forget about theaters, but it is advisable to buy tickets in advance. Pre-schoolers and junior schoolchildren will like it in the Theater for Young Spectators, the Puppet Theater or the Moscow Theater of the Children’s Book «The Magic Lamp», where they often stage performances based on fairy tales. Older pupils will also be interested in classical productions.

The Moscow Planetarium is a huge scientific complex, where schoolchildren of different ages like it. Here you can see a star map on the largest dome in Europe, touch meteorites and feel like an astronomer in an interactive park. On a fine day with children, you can go to the Moscow Zoo for the whole day, with an exotarium with reef fish, a dolphinarium and a pony club.

Клас­си­че­ские дет­ские марш­ру­ты в Москве мало чем отли­ча­ют­ся от взрос­лых: школь­ни­ков обя­за­тель­но про­во­дят по Крас­ной пло­ща­ди и крем­лев­ским музе­ям, Алек­сан­дров­ско­му саду, а в осталь­ные дни раз­но­об­ра­зят куль­тур­но-раз­вле­ка­тель­ную про­грам­му. Позна­ва­тель­ной и инте­рес­ной будет про­гул­ка по зоо­ло­ги­че­ско­му Дар­ви­нов­ско­му музею, экс­по­на­ты кото­ро­го не оста­вят рав­но­душ­ным ни одно­го ребен­ка. Ска­зоч­ные экс­по­зи­ции мож­но посмот­реть в Музее А. С. Пуш­ки­на, Музее «Рус­ские вален­ки», Доме ска­зок и в Музее льда.

Не сто­ит забы­вать и о теат­рах, но купить биле­ты жела­тель­но зара­нее. Дошко­ля­там и млад­ши­ми школь­ни­кам понра­вит­ся в ТЮЗе, Теат­ре кукол или Мос­ков­ском теат­ре дет­ской кни­ги «Вол­шеб­ная лам­па», где часто ста­вят спек­так­ли по сказ­кам. Школь­ни­кам постар­ше будут инте­рес­ны и клас­си­че­ские поста­нов­ки. Мос­ков­ский пла­не­та­рий — огром­ный науч­ный ком­плекс, где понра­вит­ся школь­ни­кам раз­но­го воз­рас­та. Здесь мож­но уви­деть звезд­ную кар­ту на самом боль­шом в Евро­пе купо­ле-экране, при­кос­нуть­ся к метео­ри­там и почув­ство­вать себя аст­ро­но­мом в интер­ак­тив­ном парке.

В пого­жий денек с детьми мож­но на весь день отпра­вить­ся в Мос­ков­ский зоо­парк, при кото­ром рабо­та­ют экзо­та­ри­ум с рифо­вы­ми рыба­ми, дель­фи­на­рий и пони-клуб.

Таким обра­зом, вы смо­же­те немно­го ска­зать про все досто­при­ме­ча­тель­но­сти Моск­вы на англий­ском. Инфор­ма­ция о том, как назы­ва­ют­ся досто­при­ме­ча­тель­но­сти Моск­вы на англий­ском язы­ке – это, бес­спор­но, полез­ные зна­ния. Ведь люди из мно­гих стран жела­ют сво­и­ми гла­за­ми уви­деть зна­ме­ни­тые рос­сий­ские достопримечательности.

Так­же вы може­те рас­ска­зать сво­им дру­зьям и зна­ко­мым о досто­при­ме­ча­тель­но­стях Санкт-Петер­бур­га или осо­бен­ных местах Лондона.
