September is obvious – not the most tourist month. And if the trip to the sea at this time can still be justified or explained, then very few are thinking about the journey of a purely sightseeing orientation.

Well, as we said more than once, this is a significant reason make exactly what most considers to be inappropriate. For example, go to Moscow in September. And there can not be lost at all!

The idea of ​​such a journey is all the more interesting because in the first month of autumn the Russian capital celebrates the City Day. And, since, the municipality has a lot of money, the holiday usually has a grandiose scale, takes place with large pumps and rise

Again, even in addition to festive events in September, in Moscow there is where to go and what to do. So if you plan your visit not to the first, but to the second half of the month, you will not remain disappointed.

Moreover,

Weather in Moscow in September

It is too hot in recent years, if it happens, then during the day or two-no more. It is equally rare in what year natural cold occurs. Therefore, even at the end of September, tourists who took place to visit Moscow (who took warm clothes with them) Do not freeze!

The air temperature in Moscow in early September often ranges in the interval of +20-25 ° C. At times, even making brief sorties to a completely summer territory-to +28-30 degrees Celsius.

At the same time, it must be taken into account that the weather can fail, that is, not at all to match the expectations. And you, dressed in sundresses and light shirts with trousers, will be completely fenced (daytime!) Temperates of the order of only +12-15 ° C.

At night there can be either +18-20 or only +10-14 ° C. In other years after sunset, the air temperature fell to +6-8 ° C.

In the second half of September in Moscow, it can become warmer, nature as if decides that it is not the time to switch to winter “rails”. And then the air in the daytime warms up to +20-24 ° C, and at night-cools up to a maximum of +16 ° C.

Citizens and tourists perceive such a transition – naturally – with enthusiasm. The former consider this to arrange giant traffic jams in the direction of the Moscow region on Fridays, and back to Sunday evenings. The visitors in the warmest September weekend are surprised to walk along unusually deserted streets in the center Russian capital.

At the very end of September, in Moscow, the nature of the weather can be preserved (not lower than +18-20 ° C), and thoroughly deteriorated. In the latter case, you should expect no more than +14-15 ° C during the day and +8-12 ° C-at night

Wait

Throughout the first month of autumn, moderately-no more than 4-5 times in a month. But The probability of a cloudy day is still higherthan clear.

But this is a common thing for central Russia – what can you do?! Actually, therefore, those who reach for the sun go to rest in Adler in September. This is at least-someone naturally reaches to Turkey with Egypt …

How to dress

After reading the previous paragraphs, anyone can imagine what they go to Moscow in Moscow. Almost certainly it will be pretty light clothes in the form of summer dresses and sundresses, shirts with short sleeves and shorts. In the case of a cloudy and cool day, jackets with jackets, raincoats will also be in demand.

If you are going to make an evening and night promenade, it is quite sweatshirt may come in handyeven a jumper. It is also worth dressing in a warmer and those who go on a cruise along the Moscow River.

We recommend holding a light raincoat or a folding umbrella on hand if the weather forecast promises rains. It is very desirable to have such accessories in the case of many hours of departure in the vicinity of Moscow. Since the predictions of weather forecasters, albeit metropolitan, are far from always true.

Prices 2025

We spoke many times earlier, we will say now that the hotel complex in Izmailovo is the most optimal based on the price-quality ratio for a brief stop in Moscow. However, only if you are traveling together-in this case it will turn out for 4-4.5 thousand rubles per day.

Tourists from 3 people or more, families with children should pay attention to something more spacious. For example, remove apartments In the area of ​​Izmailovo (metro stations “Pervomaiskaya” or “Partizanskaya”) in September it will turn out for 4.5-6 thousand per day.

Nearby are such famous attractions as Izmailovsky Park and Palace. And equally the largest “flea” market in the capital. On which a person with fantasy will be able to find many interesting things to decorate the interior.

To Krasnaya Square and the Kremlin, the Bolshoi Theater and the lanes of Kitay-Gorod from Izmailovo by metro, you can get in about 25 minutes.

The cost of sightseeing excursions

In the capital, it is not able to hit. For quite modest 1,000 – 1,500, a maximum of 2,000 – rubles per person you will see the main attractions of Moscow from the bus window. Along the way, having visited the best viewing platforms of the giant city.

• Unusual routes of Moscow excursions

An informal and non-standard walk along the old Moscow streets for 1-4 people will cost an average of 4-7 thousand rubles. Which also with all the desire cannot be recognized as excessive and even more than a predatory amount.

What to do

It must be taken into account that the City Day in Moscow is spent on the second weekend of September (less often in the first). And this year, the celebration is scheduled for the 13th and 14th (Saturday and Sunday).

The exact plan of entertainment events for the birthday of Moscow of the 2025 model will become closer … By September. If you focus on last year’s realities, tourists are waiting The mass of all interesting things.

Folk festivities, concerts of pop stars, various exhibitions and festivals. As well as craftsmanship workshops and excursions to the metropolitan mansions open to visitors to visitors.

In the cinemas of Moskino, during the birthday of the city, shows of classic Soviet films are held free of charge. And in the Victory Park on Poklonnaya Gora, a concert with the participation of popular Russian artists is necessarily given.

In the evening, everyone is waiting for a festive illumination in the city center. AND A grandiose salute!

It is curious that the tradition of celebrating the birthday of the Russian capital in September arose in the Soviet years. And, apparently, it does not correlate with real historical facts.

Attractions

You can consider everything that is listed above as a seasoning for the main dish. Since the interesting places that should be visited in Moscow are so numerous that they are difficult to even count.

Moreover, new ones constantly appear on the list. Entertainment centers for children and adults, restored ancient mansions with a richest history, museums …

In addition, we will call you to visit the Kremlin: to inspect the meeting of the arms chamber and the diamond fund, go to the cathedrals: Assumption and Arkhangelsk.

An excellent aftertaste will leave a visit to the State Museum of Fine Arts named after Pushkin. And, especially, his galleries of European and American art, filled with real masterpieces.

By the way, in September, in this metropolitan museum, you are unlikely to admire the paintings because of the spin of other visitors. Rather, on the contrary, you will find yourself in the front row: after all, the working season has already begun, and the country season has not yet ended!

We also advise you to visit Both branches of the Tretyakov Gallery: both in Lavrushinsky Lane and on the Crimean Val. And certainly look into the halls of the Historical Museum, which was placed in an impressive building, which goes to Red Square.

Fans of history and architecture will certainly want to visit the aristocratic estates Kuskovo and Ostankino, the Tsaritsyn Palace of Catherine II. And equally: the Puthevnaya Imperial Petrovsky Palace, the Yusupov estate in Arkhangelsk (only the park has been opened, the palace has been at restoration for several years).

Where to go

Many tourists will probably want to visit Kolomenskoye in order to look at one of the oldest surviving churches in Russia, the Ascension of the Lord, built under the father of Ivan the Terrible, Vasily III. The legend says that this temple was built in honor of the heir to the tsarist throne.

Another famous attraction of Kolomensky is the replica of the wooden palace of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, recreated in 2010.
