Route step by step

1. 1

   Patriarch's Ponds

   A compact city pond and garden set in one of central Moscow’s best-known residential neighbourhoods. Rather than a monumental landmark, it is an atmospheric place for an unhurried walk among historic buildings, quiet lanes, cafés and literary associations connected with old Moscow.

   Old 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.

   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.
