(Translated by Google) It has become a little easier for residents of the south of the Moscow region to get to the north. On the Simferopol highway there is an exit to the South-Eastern Expressway (SEH). And from the SE you get to the Moscow High-Speed ​​Diameter (MSD). But the Yaroslavl highway is in a big traffic jam, perhaps in the future it will be possible to get to Muranovo in a couple of hours. But it's still almost 4 hours away. You can drive up to a large parking lot or to a church, everything is determined by the flow of tourists. The house certainly surprises with its non-standard architecture. But it's quite cozy inside. You will be told about its owners and guests during the excursion. Inside, the clocks and chandeliers were chosen by the previous owners for the house and this is the first thing that is visible. Lots of paintings and sculptures. The only pity is that the tour ends quickly. The territory is small, you can meet a descendant of Tyutchev, his house is nearby. The church is small and active. The poet and writer Yuri Mikhailovich Polyakov has a wonderful poem. "Do you remember, we wandered to Muranovo Following the cloud running across the azure, Not at all timid of that land, Where did the Russian poet Fyodor Tyutchev live... (Original) Для жителей юга Московской области стало немного легче попасть на север. На Симферопольском шоссе имеется съезд на Юго-Восточную хорду (ЮВХ). А с ЮВХ попадаешь на Московский скоростной диаметр (МСД). Но Ярославское шоссе стоит в большой пробке, возможно в будущем до Мураново можно будет доехать за пару часов. Но пока почти 4 часа пути. Подъехать можно к большой парковке, либо к церкви, всё определяется потоком туристов. Дом конечно удивляет нестандартной архитектурой. Но внутри довольно таки уютный. О его хозяевах и гостях вам расскажут на экскурсии. Внутри часы и люстры, подбирались прежними хозяевами для дома и это первое что видно. Много картин, скульптур. Жаль только, что экскурсия быстро заканчивается. Территория небольшая, можно встретится с потомком Тютчева, его дом поблизости. Церковь маленькая, действующая. У поэта и писателя Юрия Михайловича Полякова есть замечательное стихотворение. "Ты помнишь, мы в Мураново брели Вслед за бегущей по лазури тучей, Нисколько не робея той земли, Где жил поэт российский Федор Тютчев...

(Translated by Google) Muranovo is a very atmospheric place. You can get there by bus from Sofrino, but we decided to take a taxi for three of us. We walked back for about an hour. The estate is small, but very cozy. It’s worth checking out the local cafe - everything is very tasty. The estate is a must-see; don’t spare 450 rubles for the excursion. I’ve been to many places, but I’ve never seen such a pristine, cozy atmosphere in a 19th century house. I liked it even more than the big Abramtsevo - it’s more intimate, the nature is more untouched. It was very calm and good, I didn’t want to leave. After walking around the estate, we walked around the surrounding area. (Original) Мураново - очень атмосферное место. Добраться можно автобусом от Софрино, но мы решили взять на троих такси. Обратно где-то час шли пешком. Усадьба маленькая, но очень уютная. Стоит заглянуть в местное кафе - все очень вкусно. Усадьба обязательна к посещению, не жалейте 450 рублей на экскурсию. Я много где была, но такой первозданной уютной атмосферы дома 19 века не видела нигде. Понравилось даже больше, чем большое Абрамцево - тут камернее, природа более нетронутая. Очень спокойно и хорошо, уезжать не хотелось. После прогулки по усадьбе погуляли по окрестностям.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful and well-kept park and estate, an excellent point for a weekend trip, combined, for example, with Abramtsevo. (Original) Очень красивые и ухоженные парк и усадьба, отличная точка для поездки в выходные, совмещенная, например, с Абрамцево.

(Translated by Google) We were from Yaroslavl on an excursion to this beautiful estate Muranovo. Everything smells of antiquity, history, the soul rests. We saw a squirrel and charming fluffy cats. A very cool cafe "in the barn", delicious home-made food. Potatoes with pork are simply delicious, without onions, which is very important. (Original) Были из Ярославля с экскурсией в эту прекрасную усадьбу Мураново . Все веет стариной , историей , душа отдыхает . Видели белочку и очаровательных пушистиков кошек . Очень классное кафе " в амбаре" , вкусная еда домашняя . Картошечка с свининой просто объедение , без лука что очень важно .

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful, spiritual and picturesque place, excursions take place at different times. Great tour guide and very nice staff. The whole family had a great time: we went for a walk, attended 2 excursions, and tried pineapple soup. But we were a little shocked by the toilet rooms; it seemed like we were back in time. They naively believed that this problem had long been solved in museums near Moscow. (Original) Очень красивое душевное и живописное место, проходят экскурсии по времени. Великолепный экскурсовод и очень приятные сотрудники. Прекрасно провели время всей семьей: погуляли, посетили 2 экскурсии, попробовали щи из ананасов. Но были немного шокированы туалетными комнатами, показалось, что попали в прошлое. Наивно полагали, что в подмосковных музеях эта проблема давно решена.

(Translated by Google) Quiet place. It's nice to go for a walk with your family and children. Purely. Login as of 07/2020 130 rubles for three: 2 adults and 1 child. The entrance to the main entrance was not found. We entered from the side of the house church. There is security there, employees will tell you how to get to the ticket office for tickets. A visit to the museum with a guided tour is a bit expensive: 400 rubles per adult and 350 rubles per child. We didn't get in because we arrived a little late, after 15-00... Delicious snack in a cafe: pancakes with jam and sour cream, pies, cutlets, etc., drinks. I liked Muranovo tea better chilled)) Nature is certainly impressive! A century-old linden alley, a grove around the estate, a river and air!!! It’s easy to imagine how people lived here 100 years ago. (Original) Тихое место. Приятно погулять с семьёй и детьми. Чисто. Вход на 07.2020г. 130р.на троих: 2-е взрослых и 1-н ребёнок. Заезд к главному входу не нашли. Заходили со стороны домовой церкви. Там есть охрана, работники подскажут, как пройти к кассе за билетами. Посещение музея с экскурсией дороговато: 400р на взрослого и 350р на ребенка. Мы не попали, т.к.приехали поздновато уже после 15-00... Вкусный перекус в кафе: блинчики с вареньем и сметаной, пирожки, котлетки и пр., напитки. Мурановский чай мне больше понравился охлажденным)) Природа, конечно, впечатляет! Вековая липовая аллея, роща вокруг усадьбы, река и воздух!!! Несложно представить, как жили здесь люди лет 100 назад.

(Translated by Google) Great place, lucky with the October weather - it was sunny and warm. It was a pleasure to walk. We arrived quite early, there were few people, but when we left, there was already a line at the ticket office. By the way, the entrance fee is 50 rubles. And you can get to the museum itself with a guided tour for 450 rubles. The museum has an old-style buffet; you can also have a quiet snack on the street. Had a good time 😇 (Original) Отличное место, повезло с октябрьской погодой - было солнечно и тепло. Гулять было одно удовольствие. Приехали довольно рано, людей было мало, но когда уходили - то уже была очередь в кассу. Кстати, вход платный - 50 рублей. И в сам музей можно попасть с экскурсией за 450 рублей. В музее есть буфет в старинном стиле, можно спокойно перекусить и на улице. Хорошо провели время 😇

Beautiful place! Gothic style church, unique case in slavic culture.

Beautiful cozy church with a park around Very holy and spiritual atmosphere inside

My favorite ortodox church so far🥰🙏🏻

A very beautiful place where two rivers meet. An unique old church

One hour driving distance to the south from Moscow. Beautiful scenery from the church as well as church itself.

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.

Very nice place!

The Tretyakov Gallery is a true cultural treasure — a place where you can walk through centuries of Russian art under one roof. From iconic works by Repin and Vasnetsov to ancient icons and bold modernism, it’s a journey through the soul of the country. Well-organized, with calm halls and powerful energy. ➕ Unmatched collection of Russian art Beautiful building and well-curated exhibitions Easy to navigate and not overly crowded on weekdays Audio guides and descriptions in English available

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.

A must visit gallery in Moscow, lots of masterpieces here. Closed on Monday. Avoid holidays.

A very big gallery with great artwork (if you're a fan of it). You need at least a couple of hours to see all of it. The ticket is 500 rubbles for adults. But I'd recommend the Shimov gallery. Much more impressive.

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.

Located at Red Square Moscow, St. Basils Cathedral is a not to be missed place in Moscow. I would say that this place has an iconic value in Moscow. The beautiful architecture and colorful combination of the exterior of the building has no match.

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.

This place is iconic. You can't come to Moscow without seeing it. It's located right next to the red Square and during different times of the day, it takes on a different look with the sky behind it

One of nice things to see, dont miss it if you are there and not coming back to Mosco. Entrance is 2000 rubles, bit expensive for a foreigner compared to locals. Worth to see. If you have any an elderly person, be careful as there is a very narrow and high steeped stair to go to second floor.

It’s absolutely stunning - breathtakingly beautiful. The architecture, the detail, the colours, the heritage. Everything is historic and yet beautifully preserved and restored

A Must-Visit Icon on Red Square! GUM is more than just a shopping mall—it's a piece of Moscow's history and architecture. Located right on Red Square, the building itself is stunning, with its glass ceilings and elegant 19th-century design. Inside, you'll find a mix of luxury boutiques, charming cafes, and even a historic grocery store. Even if you're not shopping, it's worth visiting just to walk through and enjoy the atmosphere. And just try the ice cream on the ground floor—it's a classic Soviet-style treat that’s simple, nostalgic, and absolutely delicious! Prices can be high, but the experience is priceless. A perfect blend of culture, history, and modern luxury.

A beautiful shopping mall walking distance to the Red Square. It has all kind of shops and some eating options as well. There are multiple ice cream selling points in the mall. I had ice cream at the shopping mall; ice cream was good. The overall ambiance of the place is modern and up to date.

Spectacular - a perfect blend of retail, culinary delights, and architectural marvel that makes for an unforgettable experience. The selection of shops here is outstanding, featuring everything from luxury international brands to unique Russian boutiques. The restaurants and cafes throughout GUM are exceptional. From traditional Russian cuisine to international flavors, every meal was a delight. The famous GUM ice cream is an absolute must-try - a sweet tradition that perfectly caps off any visit. The building itself is a masterpiece that seamlessly blends shopping with art. ☺️

Beautiful mall in red square that sells international luxury brands and well as Russian local brands. The aesthetics are stunning and very instagrammable. Food and the amazing GUM icecream is a must try here

The history of GUM in Moscow began in the 19th century, when the Upper Trading Rows were located on the site of the current building. The first shops appeared here in the 17th century, but they were wooden, then a stone building appeared, but in about 70 years it also became outdated. In 1889-1893, the old rows were demolished, and in their place a new passage was built with imitation of forms of ancient Russian architecture and folk art, but at the same time modern materials and technologies were used. . The building received elements of Art Nouveau and a unique glass roof, which became one of its calling cards. At the end of the 19th century, it became fashionable to use elements reminiscent of towers, boyar chambers and church architecture of the 17th century: keeled arches, hipped roofs, patterned platbands, pipe columns, figured pediments, kokoshniks and striped masonry. However, unlike real Old Russian architecture, where the decor was an organic part of the structure, in the 19th and 20th centuries these elements were often imposed on modern buildings as decorative ones. Striking examples are the Historical Museum in Moscow and, of course, GUM, where these details are combined with huge glass arches and metal ceilings from the era of the Industrial Revolution. The shopping arcade quickly turned into a center of luxury - hundreds of shops, salons and restaurants operated here. After the revolution of 1917, trade was closed, and the building was used for warehouses and even for housing for officials. In 1921, by decree of Lenin, the State Department Store, or GUM, was opened here. In the 1930s, trade was temporarily stopped, and ministries were placed there. In 1953, the store reopened and became a symbol of Soviet trade - scarce goods, a grocery store and a cafe appeared here. In the 1990s, GUM was privatized and gradually turned into a premium shopping center with boutiques of world brands. Today, GUM is not only a store, but also a cultural space, and in the cafeteria No. 57 you can try dishes from the Soviet era, although in my personal opinion, they don’t really know how to cook them here. The building has become a super symbol of Moscow, combining history, trade and modernity. Its glass roofs, archaic-retro facades and three levels of passages make it a unique architectural monument.

GUM is one of the most beautiful landmarks in Moscow, located right next to Red Square. With its stunning glass roof, elegant corridors, and historical architecture, it is not only a shopping center but also a cultural and architectural experience. You can find luxury brands, cafes, and restaurants inside. A must-visit spot in Moscow. 🌸

Nice place to visit in Moscow. It feels calm, fancy, and full of quality brands. Even if you’re not shopping, it’s great just to walk around and enjoy the vibe. Don’t miss the ice cream simple and so good. A perfect little break right in the middle 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. Street performers, local cafes, and friendly people add to the lively vibe. It’s not just a tourist spot — it’s the soul of Russia, where the past and present meet. I would highly recommend everyone to visit Red Square at least once in their lifetime!

The very heart of the city is a must visit - it’s alongside the Kremlin and comprises other interesting buildings like Gum, the Kremlin, St Basil’s Cathedral, Lenin’s mausoleum etc. There are sights to see and places to eat. You can spend the entire day here.

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.

Standing in Red Square feels like walking through a living postcard. Between St. Basil’s vibrant domes, the Kremlin’s mighty walls, and Lenin’s stoic tomb, history stares right back at you. Great for photos📸📸📸, people-watching, and soaking up the soul of Russia. 🇷🇺❤️

It is a very big place and the church is very beautiful. I am very impressed to have visited Russia. 👍🏻

Red Square is a must-visit landmark in Moscow that offers a truly memorable experience. The grandeur of the square, with its stunning architecture and historic significance, is awe-inspiring. The iconic sites, including St. Basil’s Cathedral and the Kremlin, create a breathtaking backdrop that captures the essence of Russia's rich history and culture. Walking around Red Square, I was struck by the beauty of the surroundings and the vibrant atmosphere. The square is impeccably maintained, adding to its allure and making it a pleasure to explore. Whether you're interested in history, architecture, or simply soaking in the local ambiance, Red Square provides a captivating and unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Moscow!

The Red Square stands as Moscow's most iconic historical site, encompassing a breathtaking array of landmarks and attractions. Surrounded by a beautiful mall and shops, this square boasts a rich tapestry of history, including the Kremlin, Lenin's grave, and the stunning Saint Basil's Cathedral. Each visit offers a profound journey through Russia's past, making it an essential destination for history enthusiasts and travelers alike.

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).

Can’t buy ticket online in advance. Nice place for first comers in Moscow!

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.

I am so happy I finally saw it! Catch the blooming lavender now!

It is the most popular place in Moscow. The beautiful square with towers. All of my life in Moscow I visited this place 7-8 times. I think that this square is the best for tourists due to its history.

Fantastic experience. We took the opportunity to take a cruise excursion into Moscow on high speed train. We had the most wonderful tour guide who had a great head of knowledge. It was a long day but so worth the money for the trip. Loved every minute of it. Would recommend the trip.

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....

A very informative museum on how the railway was built in 1931. The museum guide speaks only Russian. Interactive - how to drive a train. Photo taking. The different type of train n equipment of different era.

This museum is not at the address informed for three years now!! The correct address is at Vystavochnaya station. This needs to be corrected. It is a nice space, only in Russian.

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.

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.

Very hard to find, it's beside one of the Metro stations in Aphimoll mall, go right down to the station entrance, it's on the left. Very little signage in English.

Nice place to spend time

It is being reconstructed now. So it takes a long time to find a way to the river. Statues in an open air are already done with bright white colour. Face-palm. The parking lot has spare places. The parking lot is conveniently situated. The parking lot has a reasonable price.

Despite being a little bit crowded. The place is marvelous extremely beautiful. The architecture is marvelous. And it is just a wonderful place to visit.

Beautiful estate just outside Moscow, beautiful gardens and well maintained estate , must visit during the summers with Kids.

It is a great place to visit but not at the autumn of 2018 because there are a lot of repaired bildings around that place

Beautiful place. Very interesting museum, Amazing views.

Enjoyed the greenery and a breath of fresh air.

Really beautiful walking area. Paid entrance but pretty cheap, we didnt go inside the buildings but it looks interesting too, the main park is wonderful. The river banks are picturesque but grass is a bit tall for a pique-nique.

Nice kremlin, 20 min walk from train station! You can visit within 40 min if you have time from the station!

Old Russian fortress of Dmitrov's region.only partly survived due to wooden construction. enjoy the beauty of Uspensky sobor which was appx. build in 1512 and reconstructed and renovated later. The city got lots of hills that makes great photos opportunities.

Historical place. Dmitrov's kremlin is a small one. Merchant's houses are getting fired. Somebody would like to build there trading centers. GOVERNMENT SHOULD TAKE CARE ABOUT THAT!

An old authentical building that is cept in good condition

Must visit if you’re tourist

Nice touristic place

(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.

A very beautiful museum, with many paintings and interesting artifacts to look at. We enjoyed it very much, thank you :)

Make your own pies in a old wood burning oven. Great to do with kids and family.House is decorated with great Russian collectibles. Great experience I really enjoyed it.

I loved this place, because the guides seem truely devoted to their job, they like what they do, and also are very helpful. I've participated in a workshop where they teach you make "baranki", a type of delicious traditional Russian warm crusty ring-shaped pastry, and then you consume it with a cup of spicy tea. And this is just one of many of workshops and activity they organise. Come and try it!

The perfect place for a children party!

Nice cafe

(Translated by Google) An iconic and fairly well-known landmark of the city of Zvenigorod. The museum exhibits are displayed on two floors. The first floor includes several rooms or halls, the first of which is where you are met and where tickets are purchased. This place is quite cramped if there are more than 6-7 people in it. It is filled with abundantly displayed samples - drawings on a wooden board. These are not museum exhibits on the theme of Russian dessert, just cultural artifacts exhibited for sale. There are also many goods for sale near the cash desk - Hand Made. chocolate, Vyazma gingerbread, herbal teas, teas, pies and all sorts of things, you can't list or count everything - your eyes run wild and you forget why you came to the museum. Also on the first floor there is a Russian stove, which is stoked and, apparently, used for cooking in the declared culinary master classes. If you wish, you can order tea and treat yourself to it with pies and buns in the tea room, near the stove. We ordered tea with thyme to warm up from the cold. We were served black tea, with a hint of thyme, a regular tea, like from a bag. On the first floor it is warm and smells delicious from the stove. On the second floor there are two halls with exhibited samples of old buffets, painted restored chairs and tables, antique dishes, cutlery and samovars. There are recipes on the plates of old Russian desserts, however, you will not see the models or even sketches of Russian dessert dishes, because they simply do not exist. For those wishing to visit the museum with a tour, a museum employee will briefly and unstructuredly tell about some recipes for Russian desserts and the traditions of Russian tea drinking. This will be a simple story for listeners sitting at the table, without going around the exhibits. This kind of story may seem interesting only to those who have never read anything about Russian tea drinking traditions. In my personal opinion, the story is told by not professional guides, not particularly skilled storytellers, which is sad, since this greatly reduces the overall impression of visiting the museum. The museum itself is more like a souvenir and delicacy shop, and is more focused on conducting culinary master classes than on conducting full-fledged excursions on the topic they have chosen. (Original) Знаковая и довольно известная достопримечательность города Звенигорода. Музейные экспонаты выставлены на двух этажах. Первый этаж включает несколько комнат или залов, первая из которых, где вас встречают, и где приобретаются билеты. Это место весьма тесное, если в нем собралось более 6-7 человек. Заставлено выставленными в обилии образцами - рисунками на деревянной доске. Это не музейные экспонаты на тему русского десерта, просто культурные артефакты, выставленные с целью продажи. Рядом с кассой тоже много товаров на продажу - Hand Made. шоколад, вяземские пряники, сборы трав, чаи, пироги и много всякой всячины, всего и не перечислить и не счесть, - глаза разбегаются и забываешь, зачем пришли в музей. Также на первом этаже стоит русская печь, которую топят и, видимо, используют для приготовления в заявленных кулинарных мастер-классах. При желании, можно заказать чай и угоститься им с пирогами и плюшками в чайной комнате, около печи. Заказали чай с чабрецом, чтобы согреться с мороза. Нам подали чай черный, с намеком на чабрец, обычный такой чай, вроде как из пакетика. На первом этаже от печи тепло и вкусно пахнет. На втором этаже располагается два зала с выставленными образцами старинных буфетов, расписных реставрированных стульев и столов, старинной посуды, столовых приборов и самоваров. Есть рецепты на табличках старо русских десертов, однако, самих муляжей или хотя бы эскизов русских десертных блюд вы не увидите, т.к. их попросту нет. Для желающих посетить музей с экскурсией, сотрудник музея кратко и не структурированно расскажет про некоторые рецепты русского десерта и традиции русского чаепития. Это будет простой рассказ для слушателей, сидящих за столом, без обхода выставленных экспонатов. Такого рода рассказ может показаться интересным разве что тем, кто никогда и ничего сам не читали про русские традиции чаепития. По личному восприятию, рассказ ведут совсем не профессиональные гиды, не особо умелые рассказчики, что печально, так как это весьма снижает общее впечатление от посещения музея. Сам музей в большей степени похож на магазин сувениров и вкусностей, и больше ориентирован на проведение мастер-классов по кулинарии, нежели на проведение полноценных экскурсий по выбранной ими тематике.

We came to the museum with a young man, we wanted a tour (30 min 600₽ per person), there were already people there and we were told to join a tour that was already underway. The tour itself is not the concept that most people are used to - you will not be led past the exhibits and told about them. Everyone was sitting at a table where the guide was telling about the production of old Russian gingerbread (that's all we managed to hear when we arrived), The story itself was interesting, but it's a pity that it lasted 15-20 minutes. The people who were already sitting had cups of some unusual tea, we, as you understand, were not able to try anything. Then there is an opportunity to go around the museum on your own and get acquainted with everything. There are many old things in the museum that were interesting to look at, but it would be even cooler if there was an opportunity to tell us about them (after all, even if we are familiar with some of them and saw them at our grandmothers and great-grandmothers, there are things that we looked at and did not understand what they were used for, but we really wanted to know) which we managed to hear when we came), There were also a lot of beautiful paintings that evoked only bright and positive emotions (you can buy them all). The museum also holds master classes on making pies / pancakes / pretzels in the oven (it's a pity that the minimum number of people is 4, we would gladly go to this format, but only together) I would like the museum to improve the comments and prosper ✨ (Original) Пришли с молодым человеком в музей, хотели с экскурсией(30мин 600₽ с человека), там уже были люди и нам сказали присоединиться к экскурсии, которая уже проводилась. Пришли с молодым человеком в музей, хотели с экскурсией(30мин 600₽ с человека), там уже были люди и нам сказали присоединиться к экскурсии, которая уже проводилась. Сама экскурсия не то понятие к которому привыкло большинство— вас не будут проводить мимо экспонатов и рассказывать про них. Все сидели за столом за которым экскурсовод рассказывала про изготовление старорусского пряника (это все что мы успели услышать когда пришли), Сам рассказ был интересный , но жаль, что длился мин 15-20. У людей ,которые уже сидели были чашечки с каким то необычным чаем , нам попробовать как вы поняли ничего не удалось. Далее представляется возможность обойти музей самостоятельно со всем ознакомится. В музее много старинных вещей осматривать которые было интересно , но было бы еще круче если бы была возможность нам про них рассказать (ведь даже если с некоторыми мы знакомы и видели их у наших бабушек и прабабушек, то есть такие вещи на которые мы смотрели и не понимали для чего они использовались, а очень хотелось бы узнать) что мы успели услышать когда пришли), Так же там было очень много красивых картин, которые вызывали только светлые и положительные эмоции(их все можно купить). Так же в музее проводятся мастер-классы по приготовлению пирогов/блинов/сушек в печи(жаль, что минимальное количество человек 4, мы бы с радостью сходили на такой формат но только вдвоем) Хотелось бы , чтобы музей доработал замечания и процветал✨

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.

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.

Historical place. Old monastery and a church. Has coffee shop near entrance that serves good food, russian herbal drink. You can also buy lots of herbs and herbal remedies, as well as creams and tinctures. Very crowded on weekend, during weekdays more quiet.

Amazing holy place One must try local made mead drinks

Monastery is ok, but you will find inside the walls a pearl, a bakery shop and a café with amazing pastry,cakes,chocolates, 100% handmade and fresh. Very tasty everything. 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 old holy place.

This is simply a great museum! The collection of tanks there is very large, and you even get to try to shoot a firearm of your choice for only 1100 rubles.

I was there with some Russian friends. The place is pretty unique with so many tanks, hundreds I guess. There, are Russian, British, German and American tanks and more. They span about all of the 20th century. Some of them are used a lot in WW II movies. Nice to see them up close here. We spent about two hours here. There's also plenty of souvenirs to buy, a restaurant, toilets and abundant parking place.

Tanks like the Object 279(The Alien Tank), Object 775(Pancake) and the Maus Haus(Wooden mock up in the museum???????) I aphave to visit this place!

One of the biggest tank museums in the western hemisphere. With many unique machines the museum will be breathtaking to all tank lovers. Sadly the German pavilion had been recently relocated to another location, however the Maus and some other machines are still there. Please note that nothing is in English (including people) and getting to this place on public transport might prove tricky. And well, the quality of everything is quite sketchy. Make sure you go with someone who speaks russian, otherwise these f***ers will scam you into paying three times the actual ticket price. Ps, beware of cafeteria food

No need to say anything. You come here and you worship. This is the place that you can show off to your friend for the rest of your life...

this place is awesome you can hop in the maus and attack the D point

The Perfect place for tanks lover! :3

A magnificent replica of the Resurrection Temple in Jerusalem! An astonishing work of art, and a place that every Orthodox should visit when in Moscow! The monastery is huge, and also has a nice "Trapeza" (small restaurant) where you can have a meal. There's also a free parking just outside the main gate.

The New Jerusalem Monastery is a stunning architectural masterpiece located in Istra, Russia. The monastery is known for its beautiful frescoes, intricate carvings, and rich history. It was built by Patriarch Nikon in the 17th century as a replica of the Holy Land's Jerusalem. The monastery's stunning architecture and peaceful surroundings make it an ideal place for spiritual contemplation and reflection. Visitors to the monastery can explore the various buildings, including the Cathedral of the Resurrection, the Church of the Holy Gates, and the Refectory. The Cathedral of the Resurrection is particularly impressive, with its ornate domes and exquisite frescoes. The Church of the Holy Gates is also worth a visit, with its beautiful bell tower and intricate carvings. In addition to its stunning architecture, the New Jerusalem Monastery is also home to a museum that showcases the monastery's rich history and cultural significance. The museum has an impressive collection of religious artifacts, including icons, manuscripts, and vestments. Overall, the New Jerusalem Monastery is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, culture, and spirituality. The monastery's stunning architecture and peaceful surroundings make it an ideal place for reflection and contemplation.

Most excellent experience. Awesome atmosophere in and out of the monastery. Most things are all open for visiting for gratis. Walking on the batllements which takes one almost right around the whole compound is must see. The cafeteria is great: quite cheap and offers the home food type of cooking. Excellent.

The newly restored historical monastery is so beautiful, especially taking into account how it looked before the restoration works rook place. It is also not overcrowded and it feels really good to spend some time on the premises. Don't forget to get empty bottles with you as the water you can get in the cathedral from the underground source is simply delicious.

The most impressive church I've ever seen. I didn't expect it to be that amazing. When I entered the church I literally got speechless because of this beauty.

A very nice, well-kept Monastery. The church was absolutely beautiful inside. We return to see it again. We only had an hour, and it was not enough time to see everything.

Just like a magical church that appears from the sky. Architecture superb and articulate paintings.

Great museum. Tucked away from Moscow 1 hour drive away. Visual arts and historical exhibits. Two very nice souvenir shops. There's also small cafe in the ground floor lobby. Parking is free of charge and located in the market square nearby.

I doubt I have moral right to judge whole city, which I saw only in passing, but as for museum and the monastery on the hill, I will judge fervently! Musuem is superb, it has lots of items related to old believers faith, many unique documents. Lots if goodies, I came for Bruegels specifically. But other exhibitions are cool too!

Absolutely renovaite monastery complex with increadible State museum "New Jerusalem". Any different exibitions in one fantastic place. The great point of Moscow country region!

A very beautiful monastery. During the restoration 75% of the people who worked on the restoration of this monastery were from Ukraine. The poor people today have no peace.

Dramatic building. Not a lot of interesting stuff inside - most of the main exhibition is closed for some reason. Upgrading?

I visited the very impressive New Jerusalem museum which consisted of different galleries displaying art from different eras of Russian history. I enjoyed my guided tour that explained in detail the exhibits. It is in Russian though so it was good to visit together with a Russian speaker. It was good to understand more about Russian art and history.

Pay attention: this is an art museum, where you can also see the history of New Jerusalem churches. I've been here three times and I think that the architects that draw this place are totally unable to make their work. Showrooms are always too small and the lot of visitors transform the museum in a shopping centre during sales. Really bad the wardrobe, too small and fitted in a thin corridor. If you want to enjoy this place, come during weekdays...

A great museum to visit for those who like music, history or simply don't know how to spend their time in Klin. A vast variety of authentic exhibits. The vibes of the late XIX century still linger in the house and other facilities where Pyotr Chaikovsky (and his family) dwelled. The excursion with our guide Anna was splendid, lots of interesting and unexpected trivia about the composer's life really made us hang on the guide's every word. Highly recommend!!!

We tried to get there few times - first on the road to St Petersburg on 1 of may 2021 - the garden around estate was closed. Then 25 september 2021 we planned to overnight in Klin and ask cashier by the phone few times to wait us until 17.30 They refuse us. Cashier closes at 17.00, even if museum closes at 18.00 Next day we forced to stay longer in Klin cause museum open only at 10am, but we have a whole day plans and risked to miss our last POI cause on extremely uncomprosissing staff of this place. Be aware!

It is a must to visit this great museum for all admirers of the msuic of Tchaikovsky. Great exhibitions and the house which was left nearly untouched since the death of Tchaikovsky. You can as well visit a concert there and listen to the sound of the grand piano owned by Tchaikovsky where he composed and performed so many works.

Access to the rooms is blocked from the doors and you won't be able to to see small items or even details of furniture.... It is almost same as you would see photos instead of presence on the site

Magnificent place where you can find lots of Tchaikovsky. You can take photo with additional fee. There is a guide with St. Petersburg accents (Russian). Some tourist from St. Petersburg (also russian) was asking repeatedly about if Tchaikovsky was not fond of woman and Guide repeatedly answer not to ask kind of harsh question. If you have time to go there please do so, his last home and where he composed Symphony No.6.

This is a small but well maintained museum with very beautiful grounds. We did not ask for an English guide but many of the docents spoken of English to help us understand what we were looking at.

If you are Piotr Tchaikovsky music lover ,this is must see place. During his time at the house in Klin, Tchaikovsky finished proof-reading the scores of Iolanta and The Nutcracker, wrote eighteen piano pieces, Opus 72; The vocal quartet The Night; six romances to the words of Rathaus; and the 6th Symphony. There are many original omposer belongings here . I found this place very interesting and touching .

Great experience for a Mikhail Krug lover. But would recommend putting up a note of history to acknowledge the visitors.

Interesting statue but without the history it may be quite blank.

If you like Krug's music, you should take a picture

Interesting statue, but without the history it may be quite blunt.

Mikhail looks kind

Cool

(Translated by Google) This is a legend. Only because of this I went to Tver. And I am not disappointed. Nice city. Excellent walking area. Beautiful photo zones. I recommend visiting!

(Translated by Google) The Novotorzhsky Boris and Gleb Monastery is located on a high hill south of the city rampart. In 2018, the monastery celebrated its 980th anniversary. This is the oldest Orthodox monastery, founded by St. Ephraim of Novotorzhsky during the reign of Yaroslav I Vladimirovich almost at the same time as the Kiev Pechersk Lavra. Ephraim of Novotorzhsky served as an equerry for princes Boris and Gleb, and after their murder by his half-brother Svyatopolk the Accursed Ephraim became a monk. In 1038 Ephraim, together with his disciple St. Arkady built a stone temple in memory of the innocently murdered brothers - princes Boris and Gleb. The complex of the Boris and Gleb Monastery includes a cathedral (1785), a bell tower (1804), and an abbot's building (1714). The fate of the monastery, like many other monasteries, after the 1917 revolution, is tragic. The monastery was closed in 1931 and a maximum security prison was placed within its walls. After the monastery was closed, the icons were lost and the bells were dropped. The monastery is active, the territory is cozy, and interesting excursions are organized. (Original) Новоторжский Борисоглебский монастырь расположился на высоком холме южнее городского вала. В 2018 году монастырь отметил свое 980-летие. Это древнейшая православная обитель, основанная преподобным Ефремом Новоторжским во времена княжения Ярослава I Владимировича почти в одно время с Киево-Печерской лаврой. Ефрем Новоторжский служил конюшим у князей Бориса и Глеба, а после их убийства сводным братом Святополком Окаянным Ефрем принял монашество. В 1038 года Ефрем вместе со своим учеником св. Аркадием построил каменный храм в память о невинно убиенных братьев – князей Бориса и Глеба. В комплекс Борисоглебского монастыря входят собор (1785), колокольня (1804), настоятельский корпус (1714). Судьба монастыря, как и многих других обителей, после революции 1917 года, трагична. Монастырь закрыли в 1931 году и разместили в его стенах тюрьму строгого режима. После закрытия монастыря иконы были утрачены, колокола сброшены. Монастырь действующий, на территории уютно, организуются интересные экскурсии.

(Translated by Google) Novotorzhsky Borisoglebsky Monastery in the city center. Behind the high monastery walls are old, once beautiful temples and buildings that now need repair and restoration. The Temple has beautiful paintings on the walls, vaults and a calming atmosphere. In the monastery, you can climb to the observation deck, from where a beautiful panorama of the city and its surroundings opens up. The view from the deck is excellent. (Original) Новоторжский Борисоглебский монастырь в центре города. За высокими монастырскими стенами старые, некогда красивые храмы и постройки, которым сейчас требуется ремонт, реставрация. В Храме красивые росписи на стенах, сводах и успокаивающая атмосфера. В монастыре можно подняться на смотровую площадку, откуда открывается красивая панорама на город и его окрестности. Вид с площадки отличный.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful, pleasant place! Torzhok has many temples and churches with bell towers, which serve as points of attraction for tourists, and the Novotorzhsky Borisoglebsky Monastery is no exception. There is also a bell tower here - one of the few buildings on the monastery grounds, which was restored primarily to be used as a source of income - a paid observation deck. The cost of the ascent is 300 rubles per person (there are no benefits). For Torzhok, this is probably too much. For example, the ascent to the bell tower of the Ilyinskaya Church in Torzhok, which is similar in height, costs 2 times less, only 150 rubles per person, and the Ilyinskaya Church is also located on a hill, only on the opposite bank of the Tvertsa River, so the view from there is also good. An attractive ginger cat lives on the monastery grounds, who walks where he wants and for free. :)) The photo shows the very moment when I told him how much it costs to climb their bell tower. 😉😀 And if you are not just going to look with your eyes, but want to capture high-quality panoramas, then on both bell towers it is better to do this (we are talking about summer) either in the morning (immediately after opening) or in the evening (immediately before closing). Evening is even better. This is, of course, if you are ready to take everything into account at once - the location relative to the cardinal points, the most interesting directions for photographing, as well as the position of the sun and the most interesting light for photography. But in the evening of 14.08.25. it was cloudy and therefore we decided to go up in the morning of 15.08. 25 We did not get there on time, although the day before (in the evening of August 14) we were promised that they would open on August 15 at 10:00, but the ascent was opened more than an hour later... Someone did not hand over the keys to someone. 🤷 Yes, one more thing... Very dusty work was being carried out on the territory of the monastery. Without blocking the territory and without stopping the excursion, the migrant workers blew all the dust off the walls along the perimeter of the monastery before finishing work, which flew straight onto the territory and onto the visitors... Brothers, is this really possible? (Original) Красивое, приятное место! В Торжке множество храмов и церквей с колокольнями, которые служат точками притяжения туристов и Новоторжский Борисоглебский монастырь не исключение. Тут тоже есть колокольня - одна из немногих построек на территории монастыря, которую отреставрировали в первую очередь, чтобы использовать как источник дохода - платная смотровая площадка. Стоимость подъёма 300 рублей с человека (льгот нет). Для Торжка это, пожалуй, слишком много. Например, подъём на схожую по высоте колокольню Ильинской церкви в Торжке стоит в 2 раза дешевле, всего 150 рублей с человека, да и Ильинская церковь тоже находится на возвышенности, только на противоположном берегу реки Тверца, потому вид оттуда тоже хороший. На территории монастыря живёт привлекательный рыжий кот, который гуляет там, где хочет и бесплатно. :)) На фото тот самый момент, когда я ему сообщил сколько стоит подъём на их колокольню. 😉😀 И если вы собираетесь не просто посмотреть глазами, а хотите качественно запечатлеть панорамы, то как на одной, так и на другой колокольне сделать это (речь про лето) лучше либо утром (сразу после открытия), либо вечером (непосредственно перед закрытием). Вечером даже лучше. Это конечно если вы готовы учесть всё и сразу - расположение относительно сторон света, наиболее интересные направления для фотографирования, а так же положение солнца и наиболее интересный свет для фотосъёмки. Но вечером 14.08.25. было пасмурно и потому решили подняться утром 15.08. 25 Мы вовремя не попали, хотя за день до этого (вечером 14 августа) нам пообещали, что откроют 15 августа в 10:00, но подъём открыли более, чем на час позже... Кто-то кому-то не передал ключи. 🤷 Да, ещё один момент... На территории монастыря велись очень пыльные работы. Не перекрывая территорию и не останавливая экскурсии гастарбайтеры перед отделочными работами сдували всю пыль со стен по периметру монастыря, которая летела прямо на территорию и на посетителей... Братья, ну разве так можно?

(Translated by Google) Novotorzhsky Borisoglebsky monastery. The monastery is older than the Kiev Pechersk Lavra, founded in 1038, although there is no written evidence of this. Very ancient, very beautiful and of course fully consistent with its centuries-old history. Located on the banks of the Tvertsa River, in a picturesque place. Many artists paint this beauty. And in the midst of all this brilliant disrepair stands the restored bell tower. Too bright, too smooth and unimaginably correct. But artists do not paint this bell tower, and it does not decorate the monastery. Probably, the restoration of such objects must be treated very carefully. (Original) Новото́ржский Борисогле́бский монасты́рь. Монастырь, старше Киево-Печерской лавры, год основания 1038, хотя письменных свидетельств этому нет. Очень древний, очень красивый и конечно полностью соответствует своей многовековой истории. Находится на берегу реки Тверца, в живописном месте. Много художников рисуют эту красоту. И посреди всей этой блистательной ветхости высится отреставрированная колокольня. Слишком яркая, слишком ровная и немыслимо правильная. Но не рисуют эту колокольню художники, и не украшает она монастырь. Наверное, к реставрации таких объектов необходимо относится очень бережно

(Translated by Google) Cool place. Very beautiful. Well-groomed area. You can climb one of the towers for 100 rubles. Beautiful panoramic views. There are tents with church goods. Some of the buildings have been restored, while others are in the process of being restored. There is parking. There is a “hole” type toilet on site, free of charge. I recommend visiting. (Original) Классное место. Очень красивое. Ухоженная территория. Можно за 100 рублей подняться на одну из башен. Красивые обзорные виды. Есть палатки с церковными товарами. Часть зданий отреставрированна, а часть в процессе. Есть парковка. На территории туалет по типу "дырка"😁, бесплатный. Рекомендую к посещению.

(Translated by Google) The monastery stands on the banks of the Tvertsa River, in a very picturesque place. Work is underway to reconstruct churches and bell towers one by one. The result is pleasing. The temple is spacious and solemn. Not far from the monastery there is a monument to St. Ephraim of Novotorzh. We were very lucky with the weather - warm and sunny. We took a walk to the city center and were fascinated by what we saw. We had a snack on Pozharsky cutlets and pies in Canteen No. 1 - tasty, inexpensive, cozy room. On the territory of the monastery there are kiosks with baked goods, gold embroidery products from Torzhok, and a church shop. If you go left and walk a little, you can have a delicious lunch at the “Monastic Meal” made from beautiful earthenware. (Original) Монастырь стоит на берегу реки Тверца, в очень живописном месте. Ведутся работы по реконструкции храмов, колоколен поочередно. Результат радует. Храм просторный, торжественный. Недалеко от монастыря - памятник Преподобному Ефрему Новоторжскому. С погодой очень повезло - тепло, солнечно. Прогулялись пешком в центр города и остались очарованы увиденным. Перекусили пожарскими котлетами и пирожками в Столовой №1 - вкусно, недорого, уютное помещение. На территории монастыря стоят киоски с выпечкой, с золотошвейными изделиями г.Торжка, церковная лавка. Если выйти налево и немного пройти, то можно вкусно пообедать в «Монастырской трапезе» из красивой глиняной посуды.

(Translated by Google) An interesting place, especially if you visit it at intervals of a year or more. Slowly everything is being restored to its original state, but it feels like there is not enough money. Ordinary tourists like us will be interested in climbing the bell tower gate, the views are amazing! The price tag has increased from 50 rubles to 100 rubles per person. There is a refectory around the corner in the monastery, we highly recommend it! (Original) Интересное место, особенно если бывать в нем с интервалом в год или больше. Потихоньку все приводят к оригинальном состоянию, но чувствуется что денег мало. Обычным туристам, как мы будет интересно подняться на ворота-колокольню, виды потрясающие! Ценник подрос с 50 руб до 100 руб с человека. За углом в монастыре трапезная, настоятельно рекомендуем!

Lovely place to visit if you are interested in historical Russian architecture and ethnography. Visited with my kids and they were really excited. The area is quite big and has various types of buildings to explore.

Save your precious time and money, almost 80% things are closed due to construction work. I still decided to go, really beautiful place. Can easily reach via Bus No. 7 (use 2GIS app for bus routes and timings).

This is a definite must go if you are in the town of Veliky Novgorod. This outdoor museum provides a pretty good flavour of how Russian houses and buildings in the countryside used to look like in the past. It was also a very pleasant surprise to find out that we could enter the buildings and poke around at the various recreated scenes. Only giving it a 4 stars because two thirds of the museum was closed for restoration when I visited

It's nice but there is not that much to see, if you go then also visit the cathedral and the lake near by

The outdoor wooden architecture museum presenting the village life in the past.

It's a place where you can look at unique examples of old Russian wooden architecture. Definitely a must!

Very interesting to see old wooden Russian buildings, brought from different places in Russia, old wooden churches and expositions inside those old buildings.

a bronze monument sculptures hundreds of iconic Russian people.

Centuries of Russian history in one sculpture. Monumental...

A very tastefully done, lets you read the history of Russia like a comic book. Definitely worth seeing.

I never thought Russia had such a monument in respect of friendship and great history with Lithuania. Cpaciba!

Loved the place, historical and beautiful

Absolutely amazing, the level of detail in this monument is incredible, a breathtaking piece of art, the design represents the main historical characters and events in russian history.

Beautiful place, the main park works till 11 or 12 but not 24 hours as its mantioned in web sites... Beautiful 👍👍👍

Shlisselburg is located at the source of the Neva River from Lake Ladoga. The main attraction of the city is the ancient fortress of Oreshek (sometimes mistakenly called Oreshnik), one of the oldest in Russia. The fortress was founded in 1323 by Prince Yuri Danilovich of Novgorod, the grandson of Alexander Nevsky, on Orekhov Island, which was named after the abundance of hazelnuts. In the same year, the Orekhovsky Peace Treaty, the first agreement between Novgorod and Sweden, was signed here. In 1612-1702, the fortress was under Swedish rule and was called Noteburg. Peter I recaptured it in 1702 during the Great Northern War, giving it the name Shlisselburg. The fortress has an irregular triangular shape with seven towers (five of which have been preserved), the main one being the Tsar's Tower with its unique curved entrance. Inside, there is a citadel with additional fortifications and a 12-meter moat.

Oreshek is a fortress founded by Novgorod at the source of the Neva, and most famous as a prison that housed political dissidents in the late czarist era. From Petersburg you can reach it by train to Petrokrepost, or by bus to Schlisselburg. Train is faster, but the Schlisselburg side is more exciting. You need to take a ferry to the island, where you can explore the island individually, with an audio guide, or a tour. Much of it is in ruins, but a few buildings have been restored. There is a cafe and a toilet on the premises. Two to three hours should be plenty to see all there is to see. The nature is particularly stunning here, so consider making some time to hire a boat, go for a swim, or just walk the coast.

They say it's not a good spot for swimming but it has a very good view for visiting.

The fortress is quite nice and will have more renovation in the future. The rest of the town has lost a lot during the WWII.

Excellent day out. The fortress is filled with history. A lot to learn.

You may want to not listen to the guides. Ghosts of the place whisper in their ears.

I would recommend visiting Oreshek if you're nearby. It is located on an island on Lake Ladoga. You can reach the island by boat in just about a few minutes + waiting time for departure. Tickets for boat are sold separately from fortress entrance tickets, which is a museum today.

A very beautiful and big park where one could walk and contemplate beauty for hours. There are lots of trees that look like a wild forest but it is obvious that they are also looked after. I did not go into the museums so can't say about them.

Beautiful palace not far from the more touristy Tsarskoye Selo. Beautiful, intimate rooms in a fabulous park setting. The interiors are exquisite. No crowds when I visited. I recommend paying extra to see the private apartments of the dowager empress

Really great place to walk around. Visited in winter. Beautiful snow and icy Park. Probably even better in summer

A park that my family loves to walk during the summer. Our trip out this weekend was a bit early in the season and the weather was a bit chilly. During the summer that gardens are full or different kinds of flowers. There are even parts of the park where a person can go and lay out in the grass, a true luxury in Russia. Be sure and bring some nuts as there are many hungry squirrels who will gladly come get them out of your hand. This is a lot of fun for kids.

Great park to work around any time of the day! I believe it’s free after 5pm!

Worth to visit. Interesting short tour around private garden. Beautiful place.

Beautiful palace heir to the throne of the Russian Empire. A small palace and a large park. Everything is very beautiful.

Amazing park, need at least two hours to walk around!

Catherine Palace, it is a park in Tsarskaya Village, Russia, located 25 km southeast of St. Petersburg. Catherine Park gets its name from Catherine Palace, and the park is divided into two parts: the Garden and the English Garden. When you come to St. Petersburg, you should take a stroll and enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the area

The park itself is nice, but the palace is super underwhelming inaccessible. You have to buy ticket for each small section of the palace, and it’s quite pricey as well. In addition, there is absolute no English translation, no English audio or tour guide, and the staff does not speak any English at all as well.

There are a lot of beautiful places around the world where you will feel happy and relaxed yourself. And Catherine Park is definitely one of those places. I had so warm walk with my soulmate in the amazing place with incredible views just everywhere you turn your head. The perennial trees, ponds, beautiful buildings with a long history. So precious moments of life.🤍

My family's favorite park grounds. We walk the grounds at least once a year. There are lots of fun paths for kids to explore. If you bring nuts you can also sometimes feed squirrels or chickadees. Don't forget to walk behind the palace to the left and explore some lovely gardens with statues there.

Amazing gardens. There are several pavilion to visit and they all have wildly different styles, which makes it fun. Some are available to visit with a ticket (like the amazing Cold Baths, where the Agathe Rooms are located) and some can be visited for free (like the Chinese style pavilion and the Italian Style pavilion with authentic roman mosaics from the 2nd century) Just strolling around is nice, and they are more chilled than Petergof, with lots of locals enjoying the scene.

A dream of a spacious garden. The beautiful Baroque palaces are surrounded by fantastic French and English gardens. There are also various very interesting outbuildings. You have to search in Europe for a long time to find comparable.

Everything was ok except for the exorbitant price for a ticket for a foreigner. 2500 rubles for a 30 minute tour with minimal English. In Europe we have the same prices for everyone.

I come back after 8 years. The exterior and the park are really amazing, a must see. About the interior tour, re her living zone, which I did for the first time, well, I am not sure is something to be seen... First of all you will discover that almost everything was bombed or robbed during second world war, so you are looking to a replica, which is taking away all the magic from it since......since let us be honest, interiors are unreal ugly. Too much of everthing without real balance and well thought details. And when you see it as a replica, you start to think 💬 well why to remake such a kitsch interior and not even to the end (not all the rooms have been restored until the end ). Also, the guide we had was so boring, lots of details repeating over and over... In general, the visit to the interior I won't recommend it, you won't loose anything. The park yes, that is a piece of art to be seen.

Beautiful. Grand. Bold. The palace is stunning and both the Catherine and Alexander parks are beautiful. I really want to visit the Alexander Palace when it opens after renovations. Which may take years sadly. The Amber Room is amazing. The post war photos of the destruction are sobering

Exhilarating experience to see so much grandeur and beauty! The interiors of Catherine's Palace are truly awe-inspiring, especially the Amber Room. Entry into the Palace always involves a longish queue, but it's worth it. If you have the stamina, don't miss out the stunning Palace gardens either. As splendid as the Palace interiors.

A great place just a train or a bus ride from St. Petersburg. The park is beautiful and the palace tour is nice. Be prepared to wait in line for about 30 minutes to an hour since there are a lot of visitors and due to the capacity, only certain number are allowed every 15 minutes.

Beautifully restored back to almost original greatness. Displays the crazy wealth of the Romanovs. Also a nice example of the Russian taste for gold and ornaments. Best to visit off season to avoid the largest hordes of tourists.

A don't miss site in St Petersburg. Tickets go on sale 30 days prior, don't miss the date, they will be sold out 29 days prior (the tixs for Catherine Palace). You can still get a tix via a long line or by joining a tour. All of the rooms are beautiful but the amber room alone is worth the visit.

Just a fast but interesting drive through the avenue but followed later on with a slower walk. The Avenue contains so many great historic buildings with architecture and interesting frontages. But you have to do it on foot to really appreciate the multiple sites.

The most famous street in Saint Petersburg

The beautiful Nevsky Avenue street, which I know from Russian literary works, is like a dream.

Just as it is described in Gogol's Petersburg Tales. Comparable, even better than the famous Champs-Élysées in my opinion.

the main street in saint Petersburg is Nevsky. all brands and great store and also discos are located in this street. at the end of the street there is a shopping mall which has lots of brands and items. at the highest floor it has a food court which serves any kind of food an drinks to enjoy.

never been there, but someone did try to hack my instagram. from their hotel room looking over this street.

A very beautiful and wonderful place.

Permanent exhibit is worth visiting if you love history. Even if you are not passionate about luxury, Saint Petersburg’s history is tied to opulence.

It’s a must while on ST Petersburg. Amazing pieces not just art and craftsmanship but history. Excellent

Must not miss this museum! Amazing collection of Fabergé eggs and art.

Well I really cannot add to what has already been said. Its an extraordinary Museum and, if I had a huge amount of money I maybe could have bought what my wife wanted. But not to be. This famous Museum is located in the beautiful Shuvalov Palace on the Fontanka River and house the world's largest collection of works by Carl Fabergé, including nine of the famous Imperial Easter Eggs. These eggs are not only stunning jeweled works of art but also unique historical artifacts.

It is one of the most beautiful museums I have ever visited. It has some of the most famous Faberge eggs. The museum was not overcrowded, therefore I was able to see all objects. In addition, the museum has an amazing gift shop! They have very nice Faberge branded items, including very beautiful jewellery. The staff members speak English and it is possible to get English audio guide.

The Fabergé Museum in St. Petersburg offers a unique chance to see the famous imperial Fabergé eggs and other exquisite jewelry masterpieces. Visitors can experience Russian history and craftsmanship up close, all within the stunning setting of the Shuvalov Palace. male guards at the entrance and exit are very rude.

One of the most beautiful museums to visit in St Petersburg. The fabrezé eggs are jaw dropping nothing like any another jewellery you've seen before. Everyone has to place their coat in wardrobe and the protection on shoes, to keep the place clean. Only one minus is that there was a misunderstanding with the tickets and we had to go the next day to visit it.

Nice museum, however unfortunately some of the famous Russian masters we came to see were (despite internet reviews) not present, moved to other museums/exhibitions. Briulov, Aivazovskiy, Ivanov and Bruin - not here at this time. Otherwise amazing exhibition of Russian paintings dating from early, Church icons/religious works to 20th century works

The first museum I visited in Russia. Lot's of incredible masterpieces that will just amaze you. The tour guide was just a delight to listen to; his English was just impeccable. Made some new friends and that day was a good one I must say...💃

A beautiful building centrally located in St Petersburg, with a good fine art collection varying in periods. The building and the interiors are absolutely gorgeous. This is a great museum to visit in addition to the Hermitage. The coat check is very efficient (a necessary step when visiting) but the bathrooms definitely left something to be desired.

Beautiful museum. Went today and it was wonderful to be free of crowds. The building and setting are lovely. Staff speak English, which is helpful when you get lost and can't find the cloakroom. Highly recommend

A must see in St Petersburg. The building and the artworks are monumental. A good glimpse into Russian art and culture through the various historic stages of the empire/union/federation. A full day is needed to see everything, if not a few. Make sure you don't miss the main collections on the second floor.

The complex of several different remoted objects. The main part - Museum of Russian art in this Mikhailovsky palace - is second to Hermitage as a main museum attraction and second to none as an art museum. I do recommend for every classical art fan!

The museum hosts paintings, sculptures and other artifacts mostly from 19. century. This is the place where you can see the traditional Russian art and paintings. Pity to see that Russian art reached its peak in the 19th century and halted as soon as the Soviet revolution took place. At least they preserved their finest collections and present in this museum.

OMG wow, this place is amazing the history is absolutely mind blowing. They have great tours you get a set of headphones and a map and it’s done many different languages. You’ll need a few hours for this place as there is such a lot take in. Everywhere you look there’s something to go well, the mosaics the size of things in here is just amazing. If you come to Saint Petersburg, you definitely have to visit this place even if it’s the only one you visit. The place is just absolutely stunning. There’s plenty of other little touristy thingsto buy outside in a few inside. This place is truly amazing.

In my opinion, it is one of the most beautiful places in the city. The place is old traditional and distinctive. Every wall is decorated with mosaic stone, which gives it a very beautiful appearance. The pictures dont give the place how is beauty. It is worth a visit. By the way it's easy to buy and ticket

Beautiful monument and must visit if you are in Saint Petersburg. Located on a river and it attracts your attention from far. A colorful building with special and unique architecture from outside. Tickets are available at the entrance and are available online. Price for entrance is 450 Rubles. The church inside is an absolute masterpiece of art. Colorful walls, and beautiful architecture. You can feel you are walking into a piece of art and being part of it. The visit took me around fifteen minutes in total. The right place to take nice pictures and videos.

This is the most beautiful church I have seen in my life. It is full of beautiful details, this church makes you feel safe and peaceful.

A very amazing place with lively architect and paintings. Highly recommended to visit.

Another beautiful Cathedral located in Saint Petersburg and one of the most famous in Russia along with St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow. If you like beautiful historical architecture then do visit this beautiful and picturesque place. Amazing place, Must visit!

Visited Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood The place is crowded but calming, have to be careful of pick pocketers.

So impressive with this palace. I went there on autumn 2017. Outside in the morning was so quiet and no signs for tourists where is entrance but Russian pointed over there. Ticket price is 350 rubles for adults. There are 3 floor and 1 basement. Museum keepers was so nice and always try to tell history of this place even my Russian skill is fair.

An interesting tour of the main restored halls and the gardens in the courtyard, many exhibits are replicas (which is mentioned by the tour guide), the halls themselves have standard interiors with luxury and lots of furniture. The area in front of the palace is covered with granite chips with a monument to Paul I. In the courtyard there is a monument to Alexander III with a very interesting design, it is worth a look. It's better to come half an hour before the tour to have time to see the armory and basement, since the second part of the tour involves leaving the museum without the possibility of returning.

The huge palace of Emperor Paul just started to turn into a museum. For a long time there was a naval school. Now museums are much smaller than a quarter of the building, but restoration work is underway. A special impression is left by the private chambers and the office of Emperor Alexander 3. Small rooms and low ceilings contrast sharply with the luxury of the rest of the building.

The Great Gatchina Palace is a palace in Gatchina, Leningrad Oblast, Russia. It was built from 1766 to 1781 by Antonio Rinaldi for Count Grigori Grigoryevich Orlov, who was a favourite of Catherine the Great, in Gatchina, a suburb of the royal capital Saint Petersburg. The Gatchina Palace combines classical architecture and themes of a medieval castle with ornate interiors typical of Russian classicism, located on a hill in central Gatchina next to Lake Serebryany. The Gatchina Palace became one of the favourite residences of the Russian Imperial Family, and during the 19th century was an important site of Russian politics. Since the February Revolution in 1917 it has been a museum and public park, and received UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 1990.

Empress gave this palace to her lover who killed her husband, the emperor. When lover died she gave the palace to her son, who hated her and loved his killed Emperor father. Son became the emperor himself and build a brand new palace-castle where he was killed by his men. Do you still need the GoT if you have real history of Russian Empire?

A very beautiful place. A bit underrated. Tourists skip this destination.

Great place to visit place was under construction so we couldnt see everything but what we see was enough.
