All 50 places

Cathedral of Christ the Saviour

A monumental Orthodox cathedral on the Moskva River, visible from many parts of the historic centre. Its scale, bright façade and position beside Patriarch Bridge make it simultaneously a religious landmark, a major architectural feature and an important part of the riverfront cityscape.

District: Khamovniki

Moscow Kremlin

The historic and architectural heart of the Russian capital, enclosed by the Kremlin walls and towers. Its grounds contain ancient cathedrals, ceremonial squares, museum collections and monuments from different periods, so the Kremlin is best treated as a substantial destination rather than a quick photo stop.

District: Tverskoy

Moscow Planetarium

One of Russia’s largest planetariums combines a major star hall, interactive science displays, astronomy areas and programmes for both children and adults. It is a strong choice for a family day, poor weather or anyone who wants to add a scientific experience to a walk through central Moscow.
