The travel service Russpass showed five new routes around the spring capital. The proposed walks are suitable for both tourists and residents, reports the press service of the Moscow Tourism Committee.
Deputy Mayor of the capital – Chief of Staff of the Mayor and City Government Natalya Sergunina said that each of the routes includes more than 10 iconic places of the capital, united by a common theme.
“For example, on the eve of Easter, those who wish will be able to get acquainted with the pearls of Orthodox architecture – the Pokrovsky, Novospassky and Spaso-Andronikov monasteries and several churches. Experts have also prepared ideas for active recreation with the whole family and for a long walk through the historical center,” Sergunina noted.
The first route is “Date with Moscow. A walk through the quiet streets of the capital.” It lasts two hours and starts from Taganskaya Square, passes through the house on Kotelnicheskaya Embankment, the mansion of Zinaida Morozova, the Marina Tsvetaeva House-Museum and other attractions.
