Things to do in Moscow, Central Russia: The Best Nature & Parks
The political, scientific, historical, architectural and business center of Russia, Moscow displays the country's contrasts at their most extreme. The ancient and modern are juxtaposed side by side in this city of 10 million. Catch a metro from one of the ornate stations to see Red Square, the Kremlin, the nine domes of St. Basil's Cathedral, Lenin's Mausoleum, the KGB Museum and other symbols of Moscow's great and terrible past, then lighten up and shop Boulevard Ring or people watch in Pushkin Square.

A popular place to stroll or unwind in a cafe, this chain of ten boulevards actually forms a horseshoe, and provides a glimpse of old Moscow in the midst of the bustling, modern city.

This green space in central Moscow is great for people-watching and an ideal spot for some rest and relaxation. The park’s pond also serves as an ice rink in the winter and is home to swans in the summer.

A delight on a cool summer evening. This is a popular, pleasant, walkable neighborhood near many theaters, so you’ll be seeing more Muscovites and not so many tourists. A lot of happy people enjoying the park, but you can spot the fans of Bulgakov’s novel by their smiles and mischievous expression! There was even someone cosplaying a character from the novel and there’s a Cafe Margarita across the street—packed full on the night I passed by.

Came here with our 7 month old. He is still a tad young to really enjoy the playground, but we still had so much fun on the things he could partake in. Ate lunch at a restaurant, had some Russian ponchiki, walked around. It’s beautiful and peaceful, I just wish we got to see a show of some kind that they have here.
