Moscow Walking Tour
Moscow, Russia
Why Walk Moscow
Moscow demands walking to appreciate its monumental ambitions. Red Square, framed by the Kremlin, St. Basil's Cathedral, and the GUM department store, is one of the world's most dramatic public spaces. The Kremlin complex itself contains cathedrals, palaces, and the Armoury Chamber. Beyond Red Square, the wide boulevards of the Boulevard Ring connect parks and mansions from the Tsarist era, while the Garden Ring marks the next concentric circle. The Moscow Metro is an attraction in itself — stations like Komsomolskaya and Mayakovskaya are palatial underground halls of marble, mosaics, and chandeliers. Gorky Park and Zaryadye Park offer contrasting green spaces, the latter a dramatic landscape project next to the Kremlin with floating bridges and a concert hall under a glass canopy.
