If you came to Moscow as a tourist and have already managed to see all the most famous capital attractions, and there is still time left, do not worry. Here is a list of 10 of the most unusual excursions in Moscow that will show you this city from a completely different side.

1. Excursion-quest in the Moscow City complex.

First, you will be invited to walk along the “island of glass and concrete”, admire the glass buildings from below, learn the history of the complex and the features of each of the towers. Then, on an elevator that moves at a speed of 7 m/s, you will get to the observation deck at a height of 230 meters. It has no analogues in Moscow. From such a height, Moscow City objects at various stages of construction are clearly visible. Taking advantage of this situation, the guide will tell you about what the skyscraper is made of, how its stability and safety are ensured. Questions: how concrete is lifted, how long the piles are, and how water is delivered to a height of more than 300 meters will also not go unanswered.

Then suddenly a message will arrive that an explosive device has been planted somewhere in Moscow City. Excursionists who already know the complex well and must cope with this difficult task will be sent to search for the source of danger.

2. Legends of Stalin's skyscrapers.

Seven Stalinist skyscrapers are the hallmark of Moscow, some of the most beautiful and unique buildings in Europe. But they say that the goal of the authors of the project, led by Stalin himself, was not only to demonstrate to the world the strength and power of the Soviet state, but also to introduce into the architecture of the capital a certain sacred idea - an asteroid belt or an eight-pointed Masonic star. Its center would be the legendary Palace of the Soviets, built on the site of the Old Cathedral of Christ. The foundations of all nine high-rise buildings were laid on one day. Almost all of them were built along the Garden Ring, as if framing the historical center of the capital. In 1950, Stalin gave the order that each of the towers should be crowned with a spire with a star. And these spiers, like the stars themselves, also had their own magical meaning.

3. In the footsteps of the Master and Margarita.

Excursion program

If you are a guest of the capital or just a Muscovite who wants to fill in the gaps in memory about the history of your city and enjoy the landscapes and stunningly beautiful architectural structures, then buy a tour of Moscow by bus, a tour of Moscow by bus is a trip thanks to which every local and a visiting “metropolitan” tourist will be able to learn and discover something new, something that he may not even know about.

Sightseeing tours around the city can be either multi-day (two-day) or one-time (one day or 24 hours). As a rule, the route on the red bus covers a short circle, but such tours allow passengers to get off the bus at any place, and then board another bus plying along an identical route in the same way.

Excursions around Moscow on a double-decker bus from the City Sightseeing company come in only two types. The first type is red, on red bus No. 1, and the second is green, No. 2. These excursion tours have the same schedule, but their length and route are different.

In the first and second cases, i.e. in “red” and “green” - the trip starts from one place, namely from Bolotnaya Square, but in the first case there are 18 stops, and in the second - 30.

We bring to your attention the route and the main attractions at each stop, which passes first - the “red” bus with route number “1”:

• Bolotnaya embankment (square). There are not many attractions here; the embankment is more famous for its historical events, such as the punishment of Emelyan Pugachev and other public executions. In the 18th century, there were a large number of monastic and princely gardens and vegetable gardens on the square, festivals were held and trade was conducted. But now it is a beautiful, landscaped park area, with a lot of benches, flower beds, monuments - I.E. Repin, the sculptural composition “Children – Victims of the Vices of Adults”, Luzhkov Bridge and its iron “Trees of Love” and just playgrounds where you can go for a walk with your family.

• State Museum of Fine Arts named after A.S. Pushkin. Well, there’s not much need to talk about this place.
