Walk along Tverskaya from Pushkinskaya Square to Manezhnaya

We suggest starting a walk around the center of Moscow from Pushkinskaya Square. Right here is the Pushkinskaya – Tverskaya – Chekhovskaya metro interchange. You can recognize the area by the bronze monument to A.S. Pushkin, installed on the site of the demolished bell tower of the Strastnoy Monastery in 1950.

Behind the monument is the elegant Pushkinsky fountain, which rests on the main facade of the Rossiya Theater. The Rossiya cinema appeared in the 60s of the 20th century. and served for its intended purpose until 2012, when it was converted into a theater for musicals. Here on the square you can see the building of the Izvestia newspaper.

Pushkinskaya Square is the most convenient starting point for a walk around the center of Moscow

Meanwhile, we position ourselves so that the Pushkin monument and the theater are on our left and walk down Tverskaya Street towards the Kremlin.

Tverskaya is one of the most beautiful streets in Moscow, and after the global reconstruction in 2016 it became even more beautiful. The appearance of Tverskaya was formed in the 19th-20th centuries. Many elegant buildings have been preserved here.

A few steps away on your left will be the famous Moscow grocery store “Eliseevsky”. It was built at the end of the 18th century. The store still operates here today. And on the second floor there is a museum-apartment of N.A. Ostrovsky.

The next square that we will meet as part of our walking route around Moscow is Tverskaya. Here you can see an equestrian monument to the founder of Moscow, Yuri Dolgoruky, and opposite the elegant building of the Moscow City Hall in the style of Russian classicism, erected back in 1783 according to the design of M.F. Kazakova.

On Tverskaya you will come across other interesting buildings, for example:

  • the Central Telegraph building, built in the constructivist style in the mid-twentieth century,
  • the more ancient Postnikovsky passage, built in the early 1800s. in the style of classicism. Nowadays the theater is located here. M.N. Ermolova;
  • building of the prestigious Ritz-Carlton hotel, built in 2007 in a typical Moscow setting of the early twentieth century. eclectic style.

Asking the question: “What to see in Moscow in 1 day?” You can’t get around the central squares of the capital. Tverskaya Street will undoubtedly lead you to Manezhnaya Square, famous for its fountain complex. From here past Historical Museum It’s very easy to get to Red Square, or you can turn left onto the street. Okhotny Ryad.

Central squares of Moscow

At the intersection of Tverskaya and Okhotny Ryad streets you can see a pompous building built for the Council of Labor and Defense in 1935. Now it houses the State Duma of the Russian Federation. On the contrary, in the same style of post-constructivism, the Moscow Hotel was built in the 30s of the last century, now one of the most prestigious hotels in the capital, Four Seasons Hotel Moscow.

Another couple of tens of meters and our walking route through the center of Moscow will lead us to Teatralnaya Square. The ensemble of the square is formed by the buildings of the Bolshoi, Maly and Youth theaters, shopping complex“TSUM”, as well as the “Moscow” and “Metropol” hotels.

In the center of Moscow, squares smoothly flow into one another. We turn our backs to the Bolshoi Theater and move towards the monument to Karl Marx growing out of the rock. Behind it lies another central square - Revolution Square. In the 16th century The Neglinnaya River flowed here, on the left bank of which the Kitai-Gorod Wall was built. Unfortunately, the original wall of China Town has not survived to this day, but in Moscow, including on Revolution Square, you can see several restored fragments of it.

From here, along the Museum of the Patriotic War of 1812, you can go to the Resurrection Gate, which leads to the main square of Moscow - Red. About its attractions Be sure to check it out if you come to Moscow for the first time.

On a note! May holidays- not the best best time to visit Red Square. From May 1 to May 11, access to the square is blocked due to the preparation and holding of a military parade.

Revolution Square smoothly flows into Manezhnaya Square, named after the project built by O.I. Beauvais in the Moscow Empire style to the building of the Manege exhibition hall. Manezhnaya Square stretches along the Alexander Garden along the course of the former Neglinnaya River.

Manezhnaya Square is famous for its fountains. The most striking sculptural composition is the World Clock. This is not just a fountain. This is a real watch that shows time in the most major capitals northern hemisphere. The glass dome with the map constantly rotates, indicating the specific hour and the number of minutes that have passed since the beginning of the hour. The minutes can be counted by the lights coming on. There are 12 of them in total. Each light comes on after 5 minutes.

On a note! The "World Clock" fountain serves as the dome of the underground shopping center“Okhotny Ryad”, where you can not only shop, but also dine in one of the many cafes.

Another famous fountain on Manezhnaya Square is “Geyser” or “Seasons”, made in the form of four brave horses according to the design of Z. Tsereteli. Every year on April 30, a solemn ceremony of launching all the fountains in Moscow takes place at the fountain.

From here you can go down to the bed of the former Neglinnaya River, where the same Zurab Tsereteli created the figures of heroes of Russian fairy tales. “Goldfish” is especially popular. It is believed that if you rub it, you will no longer have any problems with officials and government officials.

Interesting fact! The Neglinnaya River did not disappear from the face of Moscow at all; it was hidden in a tunnel underground, where it continues to flow to this day.

Behind Neglinka, parallel to Manezhnaya Square, stretches the Alexander Garden. This place is iconic and interesting, which, without a doubt, deserves a separate post. Today we’ll just say a few words about its attractions.

The main value of the Alexander Garden is the national memorial of military glory with the tomb of the unknown soldier and the eternal flame, where a ceremonial changing of the guard takes place every hour.

From the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, granite pedestals with the names of hero cities of the Great Patriotic War stretch along the walls of the Kremlin. Capsules with earth from the sites of the most fierce battles are embedded inside the pedestals.

Other attractions of the Alexander Garden include the Obelisk of the 300th anniversary of the House of Romanov, the “Ruins” grotto as a memory of the Patriotic War of 1812, and the monument to Alexander I, in whose honor this garden was named. By the way, in the Alexander Garden there are. If you want to see the sights of the Kremlin, be sure to stop by here.

From left to right: the monument to Patriarch Hermogenes and the “Ruins” grotto, the obelisk of the 300th anniversary of the House of Romanov, the monument to Alexander I in the Alexander Garden

Alexander Garden will lead to another central square— Borovitskaya, where not so long ago, in November 2016, a monument to Prince Vladimir, the baptizer of Rus', appeared.

From here you can return to the metro station “Biblioteka im. Lenin" and go to the neighboring station "Kropotkinskaya", or dive under the bridge to Prechistenskaya embankment, from where it is a 10-minute walk to the next iconic landmark of the capital's center - the Cathedral of Christ the Savior.

From the Cathedral of Christ the Savior to Arbat

It is impossible not to include the main religious attraction – the Cathedral Cathedral of Christ the Savior – in your itinerary for a walk around the center of Moscow. Modern cathedral appeared not so long ago, in 1997, on the site of what was destroyed in Soviet years temple of the same name in the 19th century. The grandeur of its architecture and interior wall paintings is amazing. Walk around it and be sure to look inside. Not a single sculptural composition or painting will be repeated.

Cathedral of Christ the Savior - main cathedral Russian Orthodox Church

By the way, the cathedral has observation platforms from where the entire center of the Russian capital can be seen. You can only get there as part of a tour with a group of at least 10 people. If there will be fewer of you, it is better to call +7 (495) 637−28−47 in advance and find out the time of the nearest excursion.

In 2005, a monument to Tsar-Liberator Alexander II appeared next to the cathedral. On the granite pedestal in front of the sculpture all the merits of the sovereign are listed.

On a note! From the Patriarchal Bridge near the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, departures are made daily during the navigation season. walking trams along the Moscow River. You can take a fascinating one- or two-hour walk exploring all the main attractions of the capital. Excellent service for booking tickets for boat trips rivertickets.ru. Have used it ourselves several times. I recommend!

Meanwhile, we move on. Passing the Prechistensky Gate Square, you will get to Gogolevsky Boulevard. There are also many interesting old buildings and apartment buildings from the 19th and early 20th centuries preserved here. In the central part, in the shade of trees, there is a pedestrian boulevard. After the noisy, crowded squares in the center, here you can truly relax your soul.

Along the way you will certainly come across a monument, and at the end of the boulevard you will see a monument to the writer N.V. Gogol, who gave the name to this boulevard.

The monument to Gogol is erected next to Arbat Square, which in turn leads to the pedestrian street Old Arbat. We can talk about Arbat endlessly, but it’s better to dedicate it to it. It is very pleasant to walk here, admiring the elegant apartment buildings on both sides of the street and listening to street musicians. This street is simply created for buying souvenirs, which will be the logical conclusion of our walking route through the center of Moscow.

Beware of hares, squirrels and other living creatures on the Arbat! They can appear in your frame out of nowhere, and then demand 100 rubles for a photo!

Among the attractions of the street, be sure to pay attention to:

  • the building of the Prague restaurant, whose chef invented the famous Prague cake,
  • a gray house with knights, where the “House of Actor” is now located;
  • located opposite the theater named after. E. Vakhtangov with a golden monument-fountain “Princess Turandot”;
  • modern art object “Tsoi’s Wall”;
  • a monument to B. Okudzhava next to the house in which he lived;
  • monument to A.S. Pushkin and N. Gocharova, installed opposite the writer’s Moscow apartment, where the memorial museum is now located.

Imperceptibly, the Arbat will lead to one of the seven Stalinist skyscrapers - the building of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It’s quite logical here to end our short walking tour in the center of Moscow. If you still have some strength left, jump on the metro (the nearest station is Smolenskaya) and go to Vorobyovy Gory, from where a stunning panorama of the entire city opens up. Just be prepared for the fact that from the Vorobyovy Gory metro station to observation deck have to walk uphill picturesque park. Assess your capabilities wisely!
