From here you can see almost the entire center of Moscow, and see the Kremlin and its surroundings in every detail. It is expected that Zaryadye will be visited by about 12 million people annually, although until recently this area looked more like a wasteland due to long disputes over the fate of the territory under the demolished Rossiya Hotel.

In addition, ancient temples were preserved and restored. Unique archaeological finds discovered during construction work were put on public display, the earliest of which date back to the 13th century. Zaryadye is open to visitors 24 hours a day all year round. Themed entertainment areas will keep both adults and children bored. This is one of the best parks in Moscow and the world.

The concept of “park” itself appeared in China, and then became widespread in France in the 17th century. Initially, all of them were closed to ordinary residents. Only the ruler and his retinue were allowed to admire the magnificent flowers, exotic trees and cascading ponds. And only at the beginning of the 19th century in Europe they opened access to everyone.

Munich was one of the first cities in which residents had free access to the monarch's recreation area. This was the English Garden - one of the largest urban parks in the world with a total area of ​​4.17 km2. It is larger than the popular Central Park in New York or Hyde Park in London.

The English Park was designed by the German architect Friedrich Ludwig Schkel in 1792. When creating the garden, the architectural style of English landscape design was used, so it was called “English Park”. It was the first popular green island in Europe and still remains one of the largest and most famous in the world.

Soon, parks became a place not only for relaxation, but also for expressing oneself. Actors and musicians, artists and sculptors began to create in front of visitors and immediately sell their art. The green islands have become a favorite place for meetings and walks for entire families. Along the central alleys of Berlin, hundreds of people are having picnics and family dinners in the open air.
