DISTRICTS OF MOSCOW



The Boulevard Ring is the area that is arching over the Kitai -Gorod / Red Square /Kremlin area and is connected to the north by the Bulvarskoe Koltso which is a hugely varied and rolling area which has many of the attractions and sights of Moscow in its locality. Places like the Bolshoi Theatre, or the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts as well as the newly built church of Christ the Saviour which is worth a look. There are many more sights in this area.
The Garden Ring was ruined during the times of Stalin, where all the trees were cut down and a motorway replaced them. What was once a really fashionable area where the likes of Tolstoy and Pushkin use to live in apartments here and are now tourist attractions. The location in and around Arbat and Novyi Arbat is now a rather tacky spot and far from the once Soviet Bohemian trendy part of the city that it use to be.

When travelling northwards, one will get a sense of the size of this monster of a city which stretches out in all directions. The residential districts are vast and some of the sights around would be the WT’s exhibition complex, as well as the Botanical Gardens which are very nearby and the Ostankino Television Tower which has a great view from the top. Near enough to the centre is the museums that are worth a look, which are the Dostoevskii Museum and the Museum of Musical Culture.
