Kyiv station berth. Description of a trip on the River Palace yacht without meals Kiev pier ship schedule

A walk on a river bus around Moscow is a good option for relaxation on a hot summer day. Previously, I already wrote about what options there are for walks along the Moscow River and talked about how we swam on a river bus in Severnoe Tushino Park (read). This time we went for a walk on a river bus in the center of Moscow. I spent a long time choosing from which pier it was better to sail by boat and in the end I chose a river trip around Moscow from the Kievsky railway station.

River trips around Moscow from Kievsky Station

River walks along the Moscow River, routes from Kievsky Station:

• Circular route Kyiv railway station - Ustinsky bridge - Kyiv railway station. The duration of the river trip is 2 hours. Waterbuses depart from the pier every 20 minutes from 10:30 to 20:50.
• One-way route: Kyiv Station - Novospassky Bridge (or in the opposite direction). Duration 1.5 hours. Departures every 40 minutes from 10:50 to 20:10.
• One day ticket - skiing on any route an unlimited number of times per day: i.e. With this ticket you can get off at the pier you need, for example in Gorky Park or near the Kremlin, and then continue the river trip in any direction on ships of the same shipping company.

River walks in Moscow prices:

• Circular route: cost 700 rubles for adults, 500 rubles for children
• One way route: cost 600 rubles for adults and 400 rubles for children.
• One-day ticket: cost 1000 rubles for adults and 700 rubles for children.

In my opinion, the prices for river walks in Moscow are not bad at all, the cost is around 10 dollars. You can find discount coupons, then the price for a river trip will be 30-50 percent lower.

River walks around Moscow from Kievsky Station: our review and photos

We chose the second option for a river walk around Moscow, i.e. option from Kievsky railway station to Novospassky bridge. This is the longest route; in the first option, the ship turns around a little earlier.

The Kyiv Station berth is conveniently located next to the station of the same name and the Kyiv metro station. Kievsky Station pier on the map:

We went for a walk on a river bus around Moscow on a hot July day, but as always we were unlucky with the weather! All days in Moscow there was unrealistic heat, the bright sun was shining, and on the day when we had planned a river walk in the center of Moscow, clouds rolled in and rain began to gather (which, fortunately, never came). By the way, after our river walk ended and we went to Chistye Prudy for lunch, the sun immediately came out! We are always so lucky with walks on water - this was the case in Mexico in the Sumidero Canyon, in Laos while kayaking in Vang Vieng and in other places. I am convinced that good sunny weather and the walks on the water I have planned are incompatible! 🙂

We arrived literally a couple of minutes before the river bus departed from the Kyiv pier, quickly bought tickets and took seats on the upper deck.

Despite the fact that our walk along the Moscow River took place on Saturday, there were few people, there were places for everyone on the upper deck. The ship is comfortable, there is a bar and a clean toilet on the ground floor. During the walk, the guide talks about the sights weeded by.

Well, now our photo walk along the Moscow River :)

The Moscow City complex is visible. By the way, next to Moscow City there is also a pier from which river buses depart.

We pass the Luzhniki sports complex. There is an outdoor swimming pool, which I have never been to in several years of living in Moscow :) And in general, we have never walked around Luzhniki.

The Moscow State University building is one of my favorite places in Moscow. I like to start a walking tour of Moscow from the Universitet metro station, walk to the Moscow State University building, and then go down to the Vorobyovy Gory embankment. Soon I will write an article about my favorite route.

Moscow State University building. My parents studied here and I sometimes walked there as a child :)

And here are the Sparrow Hills and the beautiful, recently restored embankment. We often went rollerblading along this embankment. Ah, those were the times! I miss you... :)

Gorky Park is my favorite vacation spot in Moscow. I love this well-kept park with beautiful flower beds, dancing in the evenings, delicious cafes with cozy summer terraces. And stylish, well-groomed, fashionable people walk here, it’s really nice to see :)

The building of the Ministry of Defense on Frunzenskaya Embankment opposite Gorky Park

A residential building with a picture of a Soviet family going for a walk in Gorky Park :)

This is such a Soviet family :)

Monument to Peter 1, which was opened in 1997 for the 850th anniversary of Moscow

Factory "Red October". The confectionery factory building was built in 1907. Now the candy production plant has been moved to another location, and the former Red October factory has become an art zone with art galleries, exhibition halls, fashionable bars and restaurants. Do you like night parties? That way! Oh, where are my 20 years... :)

The Cathedral of Christ the Savior, which was originally built in 1812, was then destroyed on the orders of Stalin and rebuilt again in 2000. There are excursions around the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, and you can go up to the observation deck.

The Moscow Kremlin is a museum and a well-groomed park. I have already written in detail about the Moscow Kremlin here:

– the most beautiful temple in Moscow :) Be sure to explore it not only from Red Square, but also go inside!

One of Stalin's high-rise buildings on Kotelnicheskaya embankment.

The round house is the international house of music, and next to it are two buildings shaped like pencils.

Novospassky Monastery, which we will never get to on an excursion :)

With this, our one and a half hour walk on the river bus around Moscow from the Kievsky station ended, we sailed to the Novospassky Most pier. The nearest metro stations are “Krestyanskaya Zastava” and “Proletarskaya”, the walk is about 10 minutes. By the way, if you are coming by car, then it is better to start such a walk at this pier - it is easy to find a place to park your car nearby, at least this was the case on weekends .

We really enjoyed the river bus ride around Moscow! I recommend! A great way to spend time on a summer day and a convenient way to see Moscow from a different perspective.

But next time I still want to take a ride on the Radisson ship with lunch or dinner. Not cheap, but worth it! By the way, the Radisson motor ship runs along the Moscow River all year round!

A patriarchal fishing settlement was formed, where mainly fishermen and peasants lived. Here stood the modest Church of the Tikhvin Mother of God and had another name “On Berezhki”. This was the name of both banks, but the name she gave was assigned to the right one.

Over time, the appearance of this place changed, a railway to Kyiv was built, Okruzhnaya along with the Krasnoluzhsky Bridge, and warehouses appeared. In the middle of the last century, the Soviet government first rebuilt the church and then tore it down, but the name remained. Berezhkovskaya embankment was built up, thermal power plants and residential buildings appeared, and now it is part of the Dorogomilovo district. During the Soviet period, the embankment was “dressed” in granite.

Hotels and inns on the embankment

In Moscow, Berezhkovskaya Embankment begins near the Kievsky Station. For guests arriving in the capital, its location is convenient, there is no need to travel anywhere, and the quality of service is a solid four. But from the hotel windows there is a magnificent view of the embankment, and, if you have time, you can take a walk along the river.

This short excursion will help you get to know the city better, especially if this is your first visit to the capital. There is a park here where you can relax. It appeared in the 50s of the last century, when some buildings and warehouses of Berezhkova Sloboda were demolished. There are several other hotels nearby. There are also restaurants where after a tour along the embankment you can relax and have a delicious meal.

Pier "Kyiv Station" on the embankment

The pier on Berezhkovskaya embankment is very popular, from here you can go for a walk or a boat. In summer this place is very busy, with river transport coming and going every now and then. Each ship or boat has its own arrival time, it is strictly limited. You cannot leave your car near the pier, and you should pay attention to this if you are planning to sail along the river. It is better to get there on foot; you can leave your car in the parking lot nearby.

Many excursion bureaus offer river trips for children and adults. You can go on a circular route along the Moscow River and return to the same pier. Watercraft from the Kyiv Station pier depart in different directions; there are routes with stops and non-stop routes to choose from.

On a sightseeing boat along the river

Along the route you can see many of the sights of Moscow. If the ship departs from the Kyiv Station pier on Berezhkovskaya Embankment, then along the route vacationers will meet the Novodevichy Convent, the buildings of Moscow State University and the Gorky Recreation Center.

And, of course, the Kremlin and the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. Excursion ships often depart from this pier, but river buses also provide an opportunity to relax and enjoy the surrounding views and landscapes.

The famous Bogdan Khmelnitsky bridge on the embankment

Another attraction of the embankment is a beautiful and unusual bridge, which was named in honor of the Ukrainian hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky. It connects Berezhkovskaya with Rostov embankment. The impressive arched pedestrian bridge was built in 2001. But its main feature is that it was built on the main structure of Krasnoluzhsky, which was originally a railway station.

All along there are now open observation decks that offer excellent views of local attractions, right up to the Sparrow Hills and their constant companion - the Moscow State University building. You can go up by escalator and go down by elevator. Photo sessions are often held here, this place is so inviting.

Which metro station is best to get there from?

The closest metro station to Berezhkovskaya embankment is Kievskaya station; a two-minute walk is enough to be close to the Moscow River. You can also start your walking tour and explore the sights of the beautiful embankment from the Kutuzovskaya station, which is very close.

Trolleybuses and buses run along the embankment, which can be used to get to the place from the Oktyabrskaya or Universitet stations. There are many houses along the embankment that have their own history; famous people lived in them. A. N. Strugatsky wrote most of his works in one of the houses; famous architects of that time A. Burov, T. Zaikina, I. Kastel, musicians, and actors lived here.

The pier, built in 1972, is located next to the train station of the same name and the metro station on Berezhkovskaya embankment on the right bank. One of the oldest, historically significant and popular berths in the capital, with good infrastructure, comfortable places for rest and waiting.

Nearby is Europe Square and Kievsky Station, and the Radisson Slavyansky Hotel. The pier offers magnificent views of the landmarks and picturesque area. Simultaneous mooring of four vessels is available. Pleasure boats operate daily. Parking on the marina premises is prohibited. There is paid parking on the territory of the hotel and the station area. The nearest metro station is “Kyiv”, 250 m away.
