Moscow City
A modern skyscraper district on Presnenskaya Embankment that offers a sharp contrast with Moscow’s historic centre. Beyond the towers themselves, the area is interesting for reflections in glass façades, bridges, riverside perspectives and the visual dialogue with older neighbourhoods across the river.

2RUSKI
This panoramic restaurant in Moscow City’s OKO Tower offers a contemporary reading of Russian cuisine and makes the skyline part of the meal. An open kitchen with a large Russian oven reinforces the national theme without turning the restaurant into a museum set.

3Old Arbat
One of Moscow’s best-known pedestrian streets, where historic buildings sit alongside theatres, cafés, souvenir shops and everyday street life. Arbat is less about a single landmark than about the walk itself and the side lanes that reveal a quieter, more residential side of the city centre.
