Literaturnyy Muzey

Museum

(Translated by Google) Very nice village of Konstantinovo - Motherland of S.A. Yesenina. It's a pity that we were unlucky with the weather. The surrounding area is of extraordinary beauty. The expanses are endless. Lovely museums dedicated to the life and work of Sergei Yesenin. “If the holy army shouts: “Throw away Rus', live in paradise!” I will say: “No need for paradise, give me my homeland!” (Original) Очень милое сельцо Константиново - Родина С.А. Есенина. Жаль, что не повезло с погодой. Окрестности красоты необыкновенной. Просторы неоглядные. Милые музеи, посвященные жизни и творчеству Сергея Есенина."Если крикнет рать святая: "Кинь ты Русь, живи в раю!" Я скажу: "Не надо рая, дайте Родину мою!"
Андрей И — Google review
(Translated by Google) Very beautiful))) “Go away, Rus', my dear... There is no end in sight - only the blue is sucking your eyes.” The whole day spent in the estate, museum, school and the Yesenins’ house, Sergei’s poems sounded in my head))) Ryazan open spaces, endless Russian meadows, and what a view opens from the high bank of the Oka River))) magnificent))) (Original) Очень красиво))) "Гой ты, Русь, моя родная... Не видать конца и края - только синь сосёт глаза." Весь день, проведенный в усадьбе, музее, школе и домике Есениных в голове звучали стихи Сергея))) Рязанские просторы, бескрайние русские луга, а какой вид открывается с высокого берега реки Оки))) великолепно)))
Ольга Ш — Google review
(Translated by Google) Alas...disappointed. Apart from natural beauties there is not much to see. Reconstructions and unnaturalness. Something like an artificial Christmas tree. If you want to touch Yesenin, go to Spas-Klepiki. The small museum there is much more convincing and reliable. (Original) Увы...разочарован. Кроме природных красот смотреть особо не на что. Реконструкции и ненатуральность. Что то вроде искусственной елки. Если хотите прикоснуться к Есенину, езжайте в Спас - Клепики. Тамошний небольшой музей гораздо более убедителен и достоверен.

(Translated by Google) An excellent museum for those interested in literature and everything connected with it. It will, of course, be more interesting with a tour than without it, but this place is good in itself for its poetic atmosphere. While enjoying the beauty of the local nature, it’s time to start speaking in poetry yourself! (Original) Отличный музей для тех, кто интересуется литературой и всем, что с ней связано. С экскурсией будет, конечно, интереснее, чем без нее, но это место хорошо само по себе своей поэтической атмосферой. Наслаждаясь красотой местной природы впору и самому заговорить стихами!

Muzey Utyuga

Museum
Specialty Museums
Nestled in a vibrant old merchant's house, Muzey Utyuga is a delightful and quirky museum that showcases an impressive collection of irons. Visitors can explore this charming two-story mansion located just across from the Perslavl Kremlin. The second floor houses the fascinating exhibition, while the first floor features a shop where you can pick up unique souvenirs.
I visited the museum a while ago and was amazed by the guide. He was so inspiring and fun. I'd never thought about iron history, usage, etc but he was so passionate about that so I was all ears. It turned out all of that was quite interesting. Recommended! Not sure about English version tho

Wanna U — Google review
(Translated by Google) We visited this museum on July 1st. I really liked the museum itself and the story of the guide Ksenia. We travel a lot, often go on different excursions, there is something to compare with. Ksenia not only spoke competently and answered all questions professionally, but the presentation of the material itself creates a relaxed, creative atmosphere, which, of course, is very captivating. She joked and spoke emotionally. So we recommend everyone to visit this museum and, if you’re lucky, listen to the guide Ksenia. Perhaps all the tour guides at the museum are wonderful, but we had a wonderful time with her. Moreover, there were not only adults, but also teenagers, and they also “got it.” Best regards, Inessa (Original) Были в этом музее 1 июля. Очень понравился и сам музей и рассказ экскурсовода Ксении. Мы много путешествуем, часто бываем на разных экскурсиях, есть с чем сравнить. Ксения не только грамотно рассказала и профессионально отвечала на все вопросы, но сама подача материала создает непринужденную, творческую атмосферу, что, конечно, очень подкупает. Она и шутила, и эмоционально излагала. Так что всем рекомендуем побывать в этом музее и, если повезет, то послушать экскурсовода Ксению. Возможно, в музее все экскурсоводы прекрасны, но мы замечательно провели время именно с ней. Причем, были не только взрослые люди, но и подростки и им тоже все "зашло". С уважением Инесса

(Translated by Google) I wouldn't say that this private iron museum is a must-see. However, if time permits, you can visit the two-story mansion practically opposite the Perslavl Kremlin. The exhibition is located on the second floor, on the first floor you can buy souvenirs in the shop. The history of the museum begins in 1999, when Andrei Nikolaevich Vorobyov purchased an old building that housed communal apartments. The land was bought, the mansion was restored and the museum opened in June 2002. Currently, the collection includes over 200 irons of different weights, sizes and operating principles. Carbon, steam, alcohol, electric. You can get acquainted with the whole variety of irons during a short excursion, designed for 15-20 minutes. (Original) Я бы не сказала, что этот частный музей утюга нужно посетить всенепременно. Однако, если время позволяет, можно зайти в двухэтажный особняк практически напротив Перславльского кремля. Выставка расположена на втором этаже, на первом можно купить сувениры в лавке. История музея начинается в 1999 году, когда Андрей Николаевич Воробьев приобрел старинное здание, в котором были коммуналки. Земля была выкуплена, особняк отреставрирован и музей открылся в июне 2002 года. Сейчас в коллекции свыше 200 утюгов разного веса, размера и принципов работы. Угольные, паровые, на спирту, электрические. Со всем разнообразием утюгов можно познакомиться в ходе небольшой экскурсии, рассчитанной минут на 15-20.

The visit will take half an hour. (Original) Необычный музей. Не думали, что утюг может быть так интересен. Экскурсовод с хорошим и добрым юмором. Музей небольшой, на первом этаже сувениры.

(Translated by Google) Fun museum. Souvenirs are sold on the first floor, excursions are held on the second. A funny guy with a soul approaches each group, you can see his caring attitude towards the subject! The excursion flew by unnoticed. The evolution of the iron from start to finish was shown. It was interesting for both adults and children! (Original) Весёлый музей. На первом этаже продаются сувениры, на втором проводятся экскурсии. Забавный дядечка с душой подходит к каждой группе, видно неравнодушное отношение к предмету ! Экскурсия пролетела незаметно. Была показана эволюция утюга от и до. Было интересно как взрослым, так и детям !

Музей-заповедник "Александровская слобода"

Museum
Historical landmark
Preserved 1500s residence of Russia's first tsar, Ivan Grozny, also known as Ivan the Terrible.
The final stop on our wonderful day tour of what is termed the Golden Ring taking in a few historic villages with a great deal of history. The Alexandrov Kremlin is also known as the Alexandrovskaya Sloboda and served as the residence of Tsar Ivan the Terrible from 1564 to 1581. It is a big complex and includes the Trinity Cathedral from 1513, the Assumption Nunnery which was established in the second half of the 17th century and the Tsar's Private Church with its unique fresco paintings and white-stone carved portal. It was a nice stop as our final sight seeing for a great day.

From 1505 she served as the country residence of Grand Duke Vasily III, from 1564 to 1581 - the residence of Tsar Ivan the Terrible (actually the capital of the state, the center of Oprichnina). The Trinity Cathedral (1513), the Intercession Church (16th century, was part of the palace of Ivan the Terrible) survived.

Juan T — Google review
Alexandrov Sloboda was the residence of Ivan Grozni. Often in English he is interpreted as Ivan the terrible. However it is not accurate and what does it mean is his presence generates fear. He was someone who integrated Russia and unfortunately after him the Romanov dynasty took over the reigns of Russia. For some years he renounced his kingly power and entrusted the Kingship to some subordinate and lived in Alexandrov in silence and prayer. Later he went back to Moscow and took over power. Ivan Grozni gave a holistic foundation for Russia.

(Translated by Google) The museum is quite good, but there is still room for improvement. It is impossible not to note the good pricing policy; it is friendly to visitors. The museum has a great atmosphere, helpful staff who will show and tell you everything. When visiting it, I paid only 100 rubles and received very positive emotions and I consider this a justified price, especially since the museum’s exhibits are very interesting for those who love photography. There is also an excellent bookstore with photo works by various authors at good prices. I highly recommend visiting this museum, as in my opinion it is worthy. (Original) Музей вполне себе неплохой, но еще есть куда развиваться. Нельзя не отметить хорошую ценовую политику, она здесь дружелюбная к посетителям.

Также имеется отличный магазин книг с фото работами разных авторов по хорошим ценам. Крайне рекомендую к посещению этот музей, так как по моему мнению он достойный.

(Translated by Google) 09/22/2019-Extremely disappointed with our visit to the Museum of Russian Photography in Kolomna. Schoolchildren from Moscow were not allowed into the museum, the door was literally slammed in their faces. They were motivated by the fact that the museum can only be accessed by appointment; however, the museum’s website says that excursions by appointment only on Wednesdays and Thursdays, all other days admission is free. I really hope for an apology from the museum management. (Original) 22/09/2019-Крайне разочарованы посещением музея русской фотографии в Коломне. Школьников из Москвы не пустили в музей, захлопнув дверь буквально перед носом. Мотивировали тем, что в музей можно попасть только по предварительной записи.;при этом на сайте музея сказано, что экскурсии по записи только по средам и четвергам, все остальные дни вход свободный. Очень надеюсь на извинения со стооны руководства музея.

Worth a day trip from Moscow. Medieval city castle (Kreml), architectural monument. + Unique is the urban development along the Kremlin wall. Very large parts of the historic wall no longer exist today. Between the towers that still exist today, small terraced houses have been built along the line of the wall - unique. + Interesting, open Kremlin + nice view of the Moskva River. + good tourist infrastructure. + traffic-free zones. Downtown along the main street. On the outskirts the river Moskva flows into the river Oka.

Kolomenskoye is a historic district located in the southeast of Moscow, Russia, that features a beautiful park and an impressive collection of historic buildings. The district's most famous attraction is the Kolomenskiy Kreml', a UNESCO World Heritage Site that dates back to the 16th century. Here are some pros and cons of visiting Kolomenskiy Kreml': Pros: Historic Significance: The Kolomenskiy Kreml' is a significant historical landmark that dates back to the reign of Ivan the Terrible. The buildings within the kremlin showcase a range of architectural styles, from medieval to traditional Russian. Beautiful Scenery: The park surrounding the Kolomenskiy Kreml' is stunning, with expansive green spaces, walking trails, and views of the Moskva River. Cultural Activities: The Kolomenskiy Kreml' is home to several museums and galleries, including the Church of the Ascension, which features beautiful frescoes, and the Wooden Palace of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, which is a unique example of traditional Russian architecture. Peaceful Atmosphere: Despite its popularity as a tourist destination, the Kolomenskiy Kreml' and its surrounding park have a peaceful atmosphere that makes it a great place to relax and escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Cons: Crowded: The Kolomenskiy Kreml' can get crowded, especially during peak tourist season, leading to long lines and wait times. Limited Access: Some of the buildings within the kremlin are off-limits to visitors, and you can only access them with a special tour or permission. Expensive: The entry fee to the Kolomenskiy Kreml' and its museums can be quite high, especially for foreign visitors. Overall, the Kolomenskiy Kreml' is a must-visit attraction in Moscow, Russia. With its historical significance, beautiful scenery, and cultural activities, it offers a unique glimpse into Russian history and culture. While the crowds and limited access can be a drawback, the experience of visiting the Kolomenskiy Kreml' is worth it.

(Translated by Google) We visited the Kolomna Kremlin, and overall we really liked it, with the exception of some nuances. Tickets were booked on the Kolomna Kremlin website, and a confirmation was received by email from the Liga Tour company indicating the time and date. The tour started at the appointed time, and our group consisted of more than 30 people, which, in my opinion, is a minus. The excursion lasted two hours and took place outside on the territory of the Kremlin, and also included a visit to the towers. On the street, the guide ruined the whole impression: she gave the tour in an hour, moving quickly and speaking quietly. She was not interested in the fact that elderly people and children did not have time to catch up with her, and she did not react in any way to requests to wait for the others or to turn the microphone louder. But the excursion to the Kremlin towers was simply magnificent - interesting and exciting. We were greeted by guides in themed costumes, and everything went in one breath. The guide spoke with humor, tried to pay attention to everyone, and invited older people to sit on a bench. At the end, everyone thanked the guide and even applauded. (Original) Мы посетили Коломенский кремль, и в целом нам очень понравилось, за исключением некоторых нюансов. Билеты бронировали на сайте Коломенского кремля, и на почту пришло подтверждение от компании 'Лига-тур' с указанием времени и даты. Экскурсия началась в назначенное время, и наша группа составила более 30 человек, что, на мой взгляд, является минусом. Экскурсия длилась два часа и проходила на улице по территории кремля, а также включала посещение башен. На улице экскурсовод испортил все впечатление: она провела экскурсию за час, быстро передвигаясь и тихо говоря. Её не интересовало, что пожилые люди и дети не успевали догонять её, и на просьбы подождать остальных или сделать микрофон громче она никак не реагировала. Зато в башнях кремля экскурсия была просто великолепной — интересной и увлекательной. Нас встретили экскурсоводы в тематических костюмах, и всё прошло на одном дыхании. Экскурсовод рассказывал с юмором, старался уделить внимание каждому, а пожилым людям предлагал присесть на лавочку. В конце все благодарили экскурсовода и даже аплодировали.

(Translated by Google) The history of the Kolomna Detinets began at the beginning of the 14th century, the current stone Kremlin - in the middle of the sixteenth century. By the 21st century, six towers and the Pyatnitsky Gate, as well as fragments of walls, had been preserved. Everything looks impressive. Nowadays the territory of the Kremlin is an excellent public space, a great place for walking... Moreover, the Kremlin has many attractions and other tourist sites - from the Assumption Cathedral to cafes with Kolomna rolls... (Original) История Коломенского детинца началась в начале XIV веке, нынешнего каменного кремля - в середине века шестнадцатого. К XXI веку сохранилось шесть башен и Пятницкие ворота, а также фрагменты стен. Всё выглядит внушительно. Ныне территория кремля - отличное общественное пространство, великолепное место для прогулок... Тем более, что в кремле имеется множество достопримечательностей и прочих туристических объектов - от Успенского кафедрального собора до кафе с коломенскими калачами...

Place of worship
Sights & Landmarks
The Holy Trinity-St. Sergius Lavra is a walled Orthodox monastery founded by a 14th-century saint, featuring church frescoes dating back to 1655. It's the main spiritual shrine of the Russian Orthodox Church and a remarkable example of Russian art. The monastic ensemble includes architectural masterpieces such as the Trinity Cathedral, adorned with icons by masters of the school of Andrei Rublev, and the Assumption Cathedral, which replicates the one in Moscow Kremlin.
This is one of the most significant monasteries in Russia and a spiritual center of the Russian Orthodox Church. It is located in the town of Sergiyev Posad, about 70 kilometers northeast of Moscow being founded in 1337 by St. Sergius of Radonezh. It is beautiful and features a stunning collection of buildings, including the Trinity Cathedral, which houses the relics of St. Sergiu. The monastery is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a major pilgrimage destination. We really enjoyed the variety of buildings and inside collections of art and icons.

Visited here in September, 2014. This unbelievably colorful abbey (or cathedral?) is the center of the area called "Sergiyev Posad". According to what I have googled, this abbey is like a symbol of Russian Orthodox Church. You can go there by train from a station in Moscow, taking about 1 hour. It's long a little bit, but you don't have to change a train on the way, so it might be just a great chance to see beautiful sceneries of the Moscow suburb from a train window. Personally I guess those who haven't been to Russia can never imagine this country really likes something colorful, especially churches and palace, but it is not the case. Once you have come here, sort of stereotype in your mind would be changed.

Свято-Троицкая Сергиева Лавра. Holy Trinity Sergius Lavra. A historical legacy of the historical development of the orthodox church in Russia, The building is shaped like a broad fortress and inside there are several buildings such as churches, monasteries and other buildings. In this place, you will find a lot of priests coming in and out between the prayer hall and the dormitory. When you enter the church complex you will see a magnificent gate with various paintings on the ceiling. The thick walls which partly start to peel with age but are maintained and well cared for. Besides being actively used as a place of worship, this place is also a museum. If you have free time you can stop by on the left side of the entrance there is a cafe run by a church that sells typical Russian food and according to the menu, all foods sold there are also menus of priests and residents of the monastery. Inside the area, you can find several shops selling various souvenirs, complete from key chains and simple magnets to beautiful and expensive icons. If you like jewelry and crystal work you can also buy it there. If you feel hungry around there is a bread shop, cafe and fresh fruit seller in the area.

Military relics from the Russian Civil War & Soviet periods including uniforms, weapons & equipment.
Well worth a visit to this amazing museum with line after line of truly iconic and unique Soviet era aircraft...an absolute treat for aircraft enthusiasts and alike. To be honest, the display could do with some TLC (open air museum after all) and also signposted directions from Monino train station. Fantastic place!

Absolutely amazing airspace museum. Some of the rarest airplanes made in the Soviet Union and Russia is here. I am highly impressed with the collection and the facts. A bit upset on the upkeep of the planes and artifacts, probably due to funding , and the lack of information and facts on some planes. Otherwise a must visit. But do come in the warm period. I visited in the winter and it was cold but still enjoyable. Would recommend to anybody. Even with children

For aviation fans (like me) the visit is well worth the travel time to get there from Moscow City: A large selection of Russian military aircraft from between the two world wars to current times. Most of the few indoor exhibits are only with explanations in Russian, most of the outdoor exhibits have English spec sheets, too. The TU-144 is very special to see! We had a great opportunity to enter the fuselage and cockpit of the largest helicopter of the world: A technician let us in through a side door! Impressive!! The entry fee is relatively cheap, the memorabilia shop ok. The lady there very friendly. The travel with the Russian railway from Yaroslavsky station took about an hour and didn't cost much. To the "non-aviation-enthusiast" visitor a warning: The overall maintenance of the place is not exactly outstanding, some of the exhibits are not in a good condition - I guess they're fighting budget problems.

Dmitrovskiy Kreml'

Historical place museum
Museums
The museum complex at Dmitrovskiy Kreml' is situated on a historic site that showcases an array of regional art, artifacts, books and weapons. The Old Russian fortress, which was made of wood and only partly survived, is now a testament to the city's rich cultural heritage with its ancient Uspensky sobor, originally constructed in 1512 but later reconstructed and renovated. The city itself boasts numerous hills that offer excellent photo opportunities.
We were passing through the city of Dmitrov. Despite the cloudy weather, we decided to stop by this city and see its sights. The local Kremlin is different from others located in ancient cities of Russia. I think that the Dmitrov Kremlin is a unique monument of defensive architecture that has survived to this day. Instead of the usual stone walls, it is surrounded by earthen ramparts. Admission is free, there is something to see. I recommend it.

(Translated by Google) The rampart is all that remains of the real Kremlin. The gates are a recent construction, plus several buildings within the ramparts are truly historic, especially the church. Nevertheless, it's quite pleasant and cozy here, in part because of the interesting metal sculptures. It's a good choice for a short weekend getaway from the capital. It's easy to get there by bus, so you don't have to worry about the traffic jams on Dmitrovka. (Original) вал - это все, что осталось от настоящего Кремля. Ворота - недавняя конструкция, плюс несколько зданий внутри вала, они как раз настоящая история, особенно храм. Тем не менее, здесь довольно приятно, уютно, в том числе из-за занятных металлических скульптур. Хорошо подойдет для недолгого выезда из столицы в выходной день. Добраться удобно на автобусе, тогда не так волнуют пробки на Дмитровке.

Visited St Basils Cathedral in March. It was our first visit to Russia, very much loved the country and the citizens. They were warm and helpful. Our first day was to Saint Basils Cathedral.

How can one skip visiting one of Moscow’s most iconic landmarks? Before learning its true name, I used to think of it as the “Tetris building.” The kaleidoscopic exterior, crowned with its whimsical onion domes of irregular shapes, is truly mesmerizing. Inside, the chambers are adorned with centuries-old church icons. An absolute must-visit.

Visiting St. Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow was honestly a dream come true for me. I always imagined taking a photo standing right in front of this colourful and iconic cathedral, and finally being there in real life felt unreal. The moment I saw it with my own eyes, I got so excited because it looked exactly like the picture I had in my mind for so long. The cathedral is even more beautiful in person with its vibrant colours, unique onion domes, and detailed designs. It truly stands out in Red Square and feels like something from a fairytale. I walked around the area, took so many photos, and just enjoyed the view from every angle. It’s one of those places that gives you that “wow” feeling the moment you step close. For me, this was one of the most special moments of my trip, finally standing in front of the cathedral I always dreamed of. A must-visit when you’re in Moscow!

Located at the Red Square. St. Basil's Cathedral was built in 1555-1561 by the order of tsar Ivan the Terrible in honor of the victory of the Russian army over the Kazan Khanate. Its 16th-20th centuries interiors kept preserved. The vaults and walls of the cathedral was are richly decorated with murals, precious gifts of the royal family members are kept in the former sacristy. Wall paintings and church icons tells about the wonderful miracles of the Saint.

While there are paid attractions within the Kremlin complex, the surrounding area offers free exploration opportunities including Kazan Cathedral and Aleksandrovsky Garden with its enchanting fountains. Visitors can also stroll through GUM shopping center and witness the change of guards at the Eternal Flame.

The atmosphere is both grand and peaceful, especially in the evening when the buildings are beautifully lit. You can feel the weight of history here—from military parades to cultural celebrations. It’s also a great place for photos and just soaking in the energy of the city.

Amazing Experience at Red Square, Moscow! Visiting Red Square was truly an unforgettable experience! The atmosphere is full of history, culture, and beauty. Standing in the heart of Moscow, surrounded by the stunning Saint Basil’s Cathedral, the Kremlin walls, and the State Historical Museum, felt like stepping into a living postcard. The architecture is breathtaking, especially at sunset when the lights make the whole square glow beautifully. Everything is so clean, organized, and well-maintained.

Walking through Red Square is an experience that goes beyond simple sightseeing; it is truly where the grandeur of Russian history and architecture culminates. The moment you step in, you are struck by the imposing red walls of the Kremlin on one side and the colorful, onion-shaped domes of St. Basil’s Cathedral on the other. The cathedral’s architecture is so vibrant and whimsical that it looks like something out of a fairytale, making every angle a postcard-perfect shot. I highly recommend visiting both during the day and at night. In the daylight, the intricate details and colors are stunning, while at night, the illuminations of the GUM department store and surrounding buildings create a magical, lively atmosphere perfect for an evening stroll. The square is vast with historic cobblestones, which add to the charm, but I strongly suggest wearing comfortable walking shoes to fully enjoy the walk. Access via the metro is very easy, and although it’s usually busy, the sheer size of the square prevents it from feeling too crowded. Visiting the beating heart of Moscow is an absolute must.

The State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow is a must-visit for art enthusiasts. Established in 1856 by Pavel Tretyakov, it started as a private collection and has now grown to over 180,000 pieces of Russian art. The gallery showcases the evolution of Russian art from medieval religious icons to contemporary works. It houses iconic pieces by renowned Russian artists such as Ivan Aivazovsky, Ilya Repin, and Viktor Vasnetsov.
Rainy day is a perfect day for art. This gallery is a place for inspiration for all art lovers. It’s vast and better plan spending 4-5 hours there. I took audio guide and was lost in time. Love it.

Kramskoy, Vasnetsov, Serov, Repin, Savitsky—to name only a few—are represented in the Tretyakov Gallery, which offers an overwhelming feast for the eyes of art lovers. The museum displays countless masterpieces I had only read about: The Unknown Woman (often called the Russian Mona Lisa), Morning in a Pine Forest (Alenka chocolate wrappers), Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan, and a striking portrait of Pushkin, among others. After just 40 minutes, my mind was flooded with a surge of impressions and information. With 62 rooms to explore, this is clearly not a one-day museum. The entrance fee of 700 rubles is a bargain.

Very disappointing experience at the Tretyakov Gallery I visited the Tretyakov Gallery on September 25 and had a very disappointing experience. The website, the online tickets, and even the entrance signs all clearly stated that the museum would close at 9 PM. However, at 7:30 PM everyone was suddenly told to leave because of a private event — something that had never been announced anywhere. No one, not even the security staff, seemed to know about this early closure. The situation was handled poorly, and some staff were rude and unhelpful. It was also surprising that no one at the information desk spoke English in such a major international museum. Because of this, I had to completely change my travel plans and return the next day, buying new tickets and audioguides. Unfortunately, one of the main reasons for my visit — the famous Girl with Peaches — was not on display that day. Although I later received a refund for the first day’s tickets, the gallery’s response ignored the other issues I raised and fell far below my expectations.

Art museums can sometimes feel overwhelming, filled with endless hallways and masterpieces you're not sure how to appreciate. But the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow was different. Stepping inside felt like stepping into a warm embrace of Russian art history. Maybe it was the way the chronological layout unfolded Russia's artistic journey, or perhaps the sheer passion for Russian culture that resonated from every canvas. One of the things that surprised me most was the sheer diversity of styles on display. From the deeply religious icon paintings of the early days to the bold strokes of the avant-garde, the Tretyakov Gallery showcased the evolution of Russian art in a way I hadn't seen before. But it wasn't just about the artistic movements. Certain paintings jumped out at me, leaving a lasting impression. The Appearance of Christ by Alexander Ivanov was the one of the iconic piece of the museum. The Tretyakov Gallery wasn't just a museum; it felt like a conversation with the soul of Russia. It allowed me to understand the country's history, culture, and emotions through the eyes of its greatest artists.

The State Tretyakov Gallery is a remarkable art museum that boasts an impressive collection of over 180,000 Russian works spanning multiple centuries. My first visit to this iconic institution was nothing short of inspiring. As a philatelist, I was already familiar with many of the paintings displayed here, having collected numerous stamps featuring artworks from the gallery. This connection made my experience even more special, as I was able to see these masterpieces in person for the first time. The gallery's layout is thoughtfully designed, allowing visitors to journey through the evolution of Russian art. From the early icons to the bold works of the 20th century, each piece tells a story and reflects the rich cultural heritage of Russia. I found myself captivated by the detailed brushwork and the emotions captured in each painting. The names of the artists, such as Ilya Repin and Ivan Shishkin, were not just words to me; they represented a deep-seated appreciation cultivated during my studies in art history at a young age. Moreover, the atmosphere of the gallery is steeped in history, which adds to its charm. Walking through the halls, I felt a profound connection to the past, as if the spirits of the artists lingered in the air. This gallery is not merely a collection of paintings; it is a testament to the creativity and resilience of the Russian people. In conclusion, my visit to The State Tretyakov Gallery was a deeply enriching experience that inspired me both as an art enthusiast and a collector. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to understand the essence of Russian art and culture.

The Moscow Kremlin

Mentioned on 
+112 other lists 
Historical place
Museums
The Moscow Kremlin, also known as The Kremlin, is a massive fortified complex located in the heart of Moscow. Originally built as the tsar's residence, it now serves as the official residence of the President of the Russian Federation. This historic site houses ancient churches used for royal ceremonies and various museums showcasing Russian state regalia and art. Visiting requires careful planning due to ticket logistics and entry requirements, but exploring over five centuries of history within its walls makes it all worthwhile.
A must visit place in Moscow having rich history and architectural value. It was great from outside as well but we took an inside tour as well. Inside there very many beautiful churches even dating back to 13th century. The churches have beautiful hand painted art on its walls and roof.
Zafar K — Google review
Beautiful place with a rich history, energized atmosphere, and incredible architecture. Highly recommend the tour of the inside of the Kremlin, where you can visit cathedrals dating back to the 13th century. Great place to be anytime during the day, but especially at night! (I would also advise making a stop at the eternal flame, which honors the loss of soldiers' lives in WWII).

A place full of history, the churches, and gardens are well worth the visit. Its impressive how this place is so well maintained. You can see the cannons left behind by Napoleon. You can also see iconic buildings from Russia's history although the tourist can really only see them from the outside, yet its still very worthwhile.

Amazing, a must see place. Have a tour that takes in the Cathedrals and the Treasury museum, spectacular. Finish it off by visiting Red Square in the evening, with everything lit up. Update Sep 2023 - that review didn't age very well!! 😲 Maybe we can revisit in about 20 years....

Public Museum of the Moscow Metro

Mentioned on 
5 lists 
Museum
Transportation
The Public Museum of the Moscow Metro offers a unique opportunity to explore the history and artistry of the city's underground transportation system. Serving as both a mode of transit and an underground museum, each station boasts distinct designs and artwork, making it a fascinating experience for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Since its opening in 1935 as the first underground railway system in the former Soviet Union, visitors can immerse themselves in the ambiance of a bygone era.
The Metro museum was not too easy to find, or at least not for me. On Google maps it looks like it is in the first floor of the Afimall City mall, but it’s not. It is under the mall right above the Vystanochnaya Metro stop. If you get off the metro at this stop, just look up and you will see a walkway on the upper floor. Make your way up there and you will see the entry to the museum. The Moscow Metro museum is not too bad for free. It has some interesting displays, but I was hoping for more information and pictures on how the tunnels were constructed. All-in-all, it is a good place to visit. Plan on about an hour here.

This is the wrong address and it’s very hard to find this museum. To make a long story short, you need to follow the signs to Vystavochnaya (выставочная) metro station. Right before the gates, you’ll see the museum. If you still can’t find it, show locals this photo and ask them for directions.
Shay A — Google review
As others have explained and we sadly did not read about until to late, it would have saved us an hour in searching, the museum is in the Metro. Good place to see although very limited displays due to not having any space. Recommended on the way it has been created. Very informal and everything is in Russian. Dr Google gets a fail here in directions.

Great little museum dedicated to Moscow's impressive Metro system. Best thing: it's free, worst thing: most of the explications aren't in English. Still, its an interesting and cheap place to visit.

Sacred & Religious Sites
The Tserkov' Znameniya Presvyatoy Bogoroditsy V Dubrovitsakh is a well-known Russian Orthodox church that was built in 1704 with a baroque style and made of white-stone. The church is adorned with intricate carvings and is located about an hour's drive south of Moscow, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. It has become a favorite among visitors for its beautiful scenery and stunning architecture.
Knowing about Голицынs' Baltic/proWestern roots/connection helps to explain a) heavy-duty Baroque style of the Cathedral, b) the 'Gallitzin' settlement/tunnel in Alleghenies, etc.

The ancient Znamenskaya Church in the Russian Baroque style will not leave anyone indifferent. It is an amazing monument of architectural architecture; it is called the pearl of the Moscow region. Unusual, mysterious, this is one of the most beautiful churches in Russia, with a gilded crown instead of a dome. The church in the ancient estate of Dubrovitsy, in which Prince Boris Golitsyn lived, was built at his expense in the 17th-18th centuries. The prince, who served as the tutor of the future sovereign Peter the Great, fell into disgrace with him and left for his estate. However, Peter soon cooled down, and as a sign of reconciliation, the prince, at his own expense, began the construction of an unusual church on the territory of his own estate. In 1704, construction was completed, and Peter the Great himself arrived at the consecration ceremony of the temple, standing and praying on a special balcony of the western ledge. This unique monument of Russian architecture is included in the list of world art treasures.

Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Savvino-Storozhevskiy Monastery is a significant Russian Orthodox religious site boasting an impressive architectural design and featuring 15th-century altar frescoes. It is a popular destination for tourists visiting Moscow, but it's best to avoid weekends and church holidays to avoid large crowds. Visitors may have the opportunity to view the stunning panorama from the bell tower with permission from a monk.
Great place to spend at least half a day while visiting Zvenigorod. Beautiful scenery, history linked monastery, plenty of exhibition places, nice stylish canteen. Strongly recommend.
Ivan Y — Google review
On one of the most famous and largest streets in Moscow, the courtyard of the Zvenigorod Savvino-Storozhevsky monastery is hidden, built in a pseudo-Russian style with elements of modern and baroque. Previously, when walking in the center, it was hard not to notice one of the main decorations of Tverskaya, but in 1939 it was hidden from view. An interesting story is connected with its movement: the building, which weighed 24 tons, was moved deeper into the quarter at night - rails were laid under the foundation and smoothly transported to a new location. At the same time, the residents were not relocated and were not even specially warned. It is said that many of them discovered the change only in the morning, looking out of the window, and must have been very surprised at the unexpected move.
Santosh D — Google review
A must-see place for any tourist traveling around Moscow. But do not come here on weekends and church holidays, for crowds will ruin one's experience. If you are lucky, a monk may allow you to come up the bell tower. The view is magnificent. The sound is deafening.

Queue of ppl to buy bread, etc... But it's worth to do it. It's cheap. Shop and café (you can eat everything you can buy in shop here) has amazing decoration, medieval style. Café is located upstairs, just in one of the towers and a door brings you directly to the walls... really beautiful place to eat/drink/rest.

The place is well-suited both for pilgrims and for tourists. They even have free wi-fi, special app for visitors available for iOS and Android as well, and the food is dietetical and tasty at the same time. As for the architecture, there are several buildings highly valuable from the historical and the aesthetical point of view. To cut the story short, just come and see it for yourself.

Great selection of animals (we've been there only in the half on the park, left hand side, didn't have time for "tropical" part). That has exceeded my expectations, nice and spacious place, well arranged. I must say we've been there on the 1st of January so it was almost empty, no visitors. At least that (I mean anything like that working on the the 1st of January) can tell one a lot ;) Nice place to take children but also quite interesting park for adults.

Magnificent zoo, with focus on birds. Many species and not only birds. The otter and the ostrich are also very nice. We visited in winter so half of the animals were hidden. But even the remaining accesible part was so magnificent! We spent several hours here and were much exhaused before we finished the first part of the park. Will be back in spring to see the rest of the animals.

This unique destination features an array of architectural styles along Mir Street, with themed hotels and restaurants representing regions from Russia and beyond, including Siberia, Japan, and Nepal.

There are themed hotels, restaurants, and exhibitions for each, as well as free excursions and paid workshops (pottery, soap making, candle dipping, e.t.c). Highly recommend for a few days in the summer or early autumn when the weather is nice. Good for families.

And as we were lucky with the weather we could visit every place in this huge area and just relax in place that out of carbon dioxide and full of the fresh air in harmony with nature

It's a perfect place for rest of Moscow. You can accommodate there and spend more than one day, actually its necessity because of it's too far from Moscow to be there just for one day. Anyway, interesting art, timber structures, calm place, bad roads, but its a part of it. Definitely worth to see.

A good place to visit if you are really into public art, but not worth driving all the way from Moscow. The infrastructure of the park has a lot of room to grow (updated maps, guides in foreign languages). However, the nature here truly is beautiful. The Ugra River, located south of the old church, is a great place to go for a swim in the summer.

John S — Google review
The Nikola Lenivets art park is not something which pops up in a regular tour itinerary on a visit to Russia. More near to Kaluga than Moscow, it involves a bit of a drive, duration of which depends on where you stay in Moscow. It is possible to reach there by public transport but I was fortunate enough to have my friend and her brother give me a ride. (which was perfect because the place's a bit hard to find and you need to know Russian to ask for directions). The park is very widespread and covers the whole village of Nikola Lenivets including adjacent fields, woods, meadows and a river. There are various art installations all around from the midst of meadows to inside the woods. There is a vehicular road which goes through and around most of the park and there are dedicated parking lots near most larger exhibits. It's quite easy to explore the various areas of the park on foot from the parking lots. Cycles are available on rent but I won't recommend them unless you're absolutely at the peak of fitness because the roads are undulating and unpaved making the journey uncomfortable. There are lovely cottages to stay over along with dedicated camping grounds. Toilets although widely present are so so...some are modern and comfortable while others are like dry pits! Maps and tickets are available at the information centre, unfortunately only being in Russian. There are decent cafes and places for picnics and barbecues. I couldn't find any shop to buy souvenirs. On the whole it's a good place to visit although it's tough getting there on your own. And it is better to go when you are feeling completely well because it becomes tiring to explore the huge area when you're ill (personal experience).

(Translated by Google) There were a lot of people on Christmas Day, so we looked at the interior decoration through the doors. The temple is visible from everywhere, because it stands on a mountain. The road to it in bad weather can be unpleasant for a pedestrian. Bolshaya Sobornaya Street is not that big, and every now and then people get splashed with mud by cars passing by. (Original) Людей в Рождество было море, поэтому посмотрели на внутреннее убранство через двери. Храм видно отовсюду, ибо стоит на горе. Дорога к нему в непогоду для пешехода может быть неприятной.

(Translated by Google) We visited Smolensk and definitely went to the Holy Dormition Cathedral. The Cathedral is very beautiful, captivates with its grandeur. But there is one "but". This is the observation deck behind the Cathedral. It is all overgrown with weeds, which in some places are higher than the waist. Thistle thorns cling to clothes. Why can't everything be mowed down and make a visit to the observation deck comfortable for tourists? (Original) Посетили Смоленск и обязательно зашли в Свято-Успенский собор.

(Translated by Google) The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the cathedral of the Smolensk Metropolis of the Russian Orthodox Church. Located in the central part of the city of Smolensk on Cathedral Hill. Erected at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. An amazing place for the soul, where the Lord embraces you with his love! I like to come to the cathedral when there are not many people, I can calmly pray, turn to God, the Most Holy Theotokos, and the saints of God. You can venerate any icon with prayer and request; there are places where you can simply sit and breathe the spirit of the cathedral, this is especially important for elderly and sick people. Of course, on great holidays there is Grace everywhere, it’s just very crowded, you have to stand close together. Go enjoy God's house, its splendor and its beauty. Think about saving your soul!!! God bless you!!! (Original) Собо́р Успе́ния Пресвято́й Богоро́дицы — кафедральный собор Смоленской митрополии Русской православной церкви. Находится в центральной части города Смоленска на Соборной горе. Возведён на рубеже XVII и XVIII веков. Удивительное место для души, там Господь обнимает вас своей любовью! Люблю приходить в собор, когда немноголюдно, можно спокойно помолиться, обратится к Богу, Пресвятой Богородице, к Святым угодникам Божьим. Приложится к любой иконе с молитвой и просьбой, есть места где просто можно посидеть и подышать духом собора, особенно это важно для пожилых и больных людей. Конечно на великие праздники там Благодать везде и всюду, просто очень многолюдно, приходится стаять вплотную. Идите, наслаждайтесь домом Божьим, виличием и красотой. Думайте о спасении своей души!!! Божьей помощи вам!!!

(Translated by Google) Majestically towers over the entire city. Beautiful both outside and inside. One of the main attractions of the city (Original) Величественно возвышается над всем городом. Красив как снаружи так и внутри. Одна из основных достопримечательностей города

(Translated by Google) The temple is majestic, unusually beautiful, gracious. The impression is spoiled by the "auntie", who imagined herself to be something, exalted at the table with a sign. She takes upon herself the right to decide some and not to confuse others to the icon. A backward bureaucrat, apparently. Well, if you have such an honor to turn the temple with flowers, then you should not sleep for long, do it in advance, do not take a sin on your soul not to let people near the icon before the holiday, you will be known as wretched in mind (Original) Храм величественный, необыкновенно красивый, благодатный. Впечатление портит "тетя", возомнившая из себя нечто, за столом с табличкой возвеличившаяся. Берет на себя право решать одних и не путать других к иконе. Отставшая чинуша, видимо. Уж, если вам честь такая обратить цветами храм, то не стоит долго спать, сделайте заранее, не берите грех на душу не пускать у иконе перед праздником, умом убогими прослывете

Old Town Café is highly recommended to anyone who enjoys delectable salads and casseroles. The recent restoration has only enhanced the beauty of this place. Additionally, they have undergone a change in name and menu, now offering delicious Thai cuisine. It is definitely worth trying their excellent food at prices comparable to those found in the old town. The chef's culinary skills are exceptional, as evidenced by the mouthwatering soups and the exquisite duck served on a bed of vegetables.
Very tasty, home-style food at attractive prices

(Translated by Google) A revelation: quiet, slightly in front of the market square, i.e. peaceful, without overcrowding compared to what's happening in the restaurants on the market square, and most importantly, delicious food for reasonable money, with a nice atmosphere and wonderful service. I was there twice during my stay in Zamosc, once alone because I was the only one hungry, the rest had eaten at a pierogi shop earlier, which I didn't like, and I ate salmon soup and pork chop with fries and salads, I left feeling as full as a beetle and everything was fresh and delicious in a few days. again we were wondering what to eat and where, so I took my family to this particular restaurant, everyone left full, we didn't spend a fortune, it was delicious and nice, again I ate salmon soup, I really recommend it, it was a finger licking sensation, and the kids had chicken soup, spaghetti and pancakes, and my wife and everyone had dumplings with groats. satisfied and everyone liked it. If we are ever in Zamość again, we will definitely come for dinner. Greetings ladies from Old Town Cafe (Original) Rewelacja: cicho, lekko przed rynkiem czyli spokojnie bez przeludnienia w porównaniu z tym co dzieje sie w restauracjach na rynku a co najważniejsze pyszne jedzonko za rozsądne pieniążki okraszone miła atmosferą i cudną obsługą. Byłem tam 2 razy podczas pobytu w Zamosciu raz sam bo tylko ja byłem głody reszta jadła wczesniej w pierogarni co mi nie odpowiadało a jadłem zupke z łososia oraz schabowy z frytami i surówki palce lizac wyszedłem objedzony jak bąk i wszystko było swieże i pyszne za kilka dni znów zastanwialiśmy sie co zjeść i gdzie wiec zabrałem rodzinke do tej właśnie restauracji każdy wyszedł najedzony, majątku nie wydaliśmy było pysznie i miło znów jadłem zupke z łososia naprawde polecam no rewelacja palce lizac a dzieciaki rosół, spagetti i naleśniki, żonka zaś pierogi z kaszą każdy zadowolony i wszystkim smakowało. Jak jeszcze kiedyś będziemy w Zamościu na pewno wejdziemy na obiadek. Pozdrawiamy Panie z Old Town Cafe

Jednym zdaniem pachnąco, smakowicie oraz przemiła obsluga. Bylem tam 15 sierpnia 2018r Zdecydowanie polecam!

There is a well right in the square with a giant frog statue inside. Right at the entrance there is a historical area with 25 rooms underground that you can visit. Of course, you need to buy a ticket in advance. It is often difficult to find a ticket on the same day.A great experience

The new revitized "Old Town square" is truly amazing and magical looking. The vast selection of the polish couzine (sometimes with a twist) is truly worth a Michelin Star. Ice cream and deserts are just from another level. Overall, the place is kids friendly with a public, and that allows you just to sit down and enjoy life. #Iloverzeszow

History of Market Square in Rzeszów dates back to the 15th century but the current look of the market is much different from its original form. It is the result of a great fire which broke out in the 19th century. No matter what it is nowadays beautiful as well especially during early morning or evening.

Some caves and trekking ways are closed(2022.g.august). But there is good way for people with baby strollers. Find all caves, they are fantastic (but there you can't get with babybstroller, just with carrier). You should buy tickets, 8PLN- adults and you can do it in Internet, than you will not wait for entrance.

Jaworzyna Krynicka is a 1,114-meter peak in Poland that offers a range of activities for visitors. In winter, it's a popular ski destination with fantastic slopes and a gondola ride to the top taking just 12 minutes. The views from the peak are spectacular, and there's an observation tower offering even more breathtaking panoramas. In addition to skiing, the area also features hiking and biking trails for outdoor enthusiasts.
Loving the ski resort here. Night sessions are the best ever

(Translated by Google) What a place...the views, the amazing hiking and biking trails. You'll find the call of nature here. It's a place with few tourists. There's something for everyone. It's worth visiting just to commune with nature. There's a large, free parking lot near the gondola lift. However, if you're stubborn and want to park right at the door, you'll have to pay for that pleasure. The price for entering the viewing platform (the views are the same without actually climbing it 🤣) and the ascent and descent is a bit too high for me - 69 złoty per person. I recommend it to anyone who loves mountains of varying heights 😉 (Original) Co za miejsce...widoki, szalone wyprawy piesze i rowerowe. Tu znajdziesz zew natury. Jest to miejsce z małą ilością turystów. Dla każdego coś dobrego. Warto znaleźć się w tym miejscu po to chociaż by poobcować z naturą. Przy kolejce gondolowej bardzo duży darmowy parking. Jeżeli ktoś się jednak uprze i będzie chciał pod same drzwi zaparkować to już za tą przyjemność się płaci. Cena za wejście na platformę widokową ( bez wchodzenia na nią te same widoki 🤣) oraz wjazd i zjazd to jak dla mnie troszkę za dużo - 69 złotych od osoby. Polecam dla zakochanych w górach o różnej wysokości 😉
