Today, independent trips are gaining more and more power, and many tourists, “seeing”, begin to plan their voyages themselves. However, some organization is useful even with this method of leisure – for example, walks with an experienced guide allow you to find out a lot of interesting facts.
Excursions in Moscow, especially an unusual format, with a non -shaped presentation of material – especially. After all, an old huge city simply cannot but be a repository of a huge number of stories, legends and secrets.
Moreover, over the years, puzzles do not become less, they are all added! A little to open the veil of secrets over some, albeit with someone else’s help, does any curious person seek this?
Literary excursions in Moscow
The legacy of the writer Mikhail Bulgakov in today’s Russia is more than ever in demand. Is it surprised that in Moscow, where he lived for a long time and created his best works by a domestic genius, today lead excursions in Bulgakovsky places?
They tell them about the secrets of the patriarchal ponds. About the famous house No. 302-Bis on Bolshaya Sadovaya Street and his “bad apartment” No. 50. About the building where Margarita lived, “a woman, in whose eyes some incomprehensible light was always burning”-but she also had a real and extremely interesting prototype.
During such walks, they show a place where the famous Variet Theater was once. Naturally, the buildings where the famous writer actually did not pass. The same master whose manuscripts “do not burn” ….
By the way, you can participate not only in the usual walk, but also become a member of the quest on the designated topic. What will undoubtedly interest young people: children and adolescents during such an event learn about the classic work of Russian literature more than in the lesson at school.
Note that “Moscow Bulgakova” is a topic closely related to the history of the capital of the 20-30s of the XX century. And her study still promises many discoveries!
Roofs and at home
In order to generally consider the heart of ancient Moscow, you can go on excursions in Moscow roofs. There are many of them (both roofs and routes), but one is especially popular!
We are talking about the famous “House on the Embankment” on the Bersenevskaya embankment of the Moscow River. Built for the party and government elite in the 30s of the last century, this is a monument of the era of Stalinist constructivism. Later, figures of Soviet science, culture and art were also located in his apartments.
It is not surprising that the gray Glumadina eventually became the historical and cultural legend of the capital! Located diagonally from the Kremlin, across the river, the house was always in the spotlight of both Muscovites and guests of the capital. Unrestrainedly attracted attention.
Who had the idea of building and who implemented it? Why are there no elevators and apartments in one of the entrances of the “House on the Embankment”?
What are the fate of the first residents, many of whom fell victims of the Stalinist repressions? And in general, what is it like to live under the constant supervision of the Chekists?
This will be told about the walk. To which children do not take …
By the way, try and go inside. After all, an amazing look opens from the roof of the “house on the embankment”: on the one hand, on the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, on the other, to the Moscow Kremlin and the Great Kremlin Palace
Well, we continue. And as a prologue, we will voice the very obvious idea that excursions of an unusual format in Moscow are not only about a deep immersion in the masterpiece prose of Bulgakov and the study of the mysterious heritage of the Stalinist era.
A lot of puzzles are kept by the old city center. Where even the names of the streets: Solyanka, Horde, Yakimanka, Polyanka, as if they are asked questions that are not tolerated to get an answer.
And you will certainly receive it – if you approach the choice of the guide not formally. And take part in a truly non -standard and non -shaped walk!
Bus excursions
In large rates today, bus excursions in Stalin’s skyscrapers – many are interested in domestic history. Total skyscrapers in Moscow – 7! And literally everyone stores its special legends.
Why are there so many, and what were the plans for the construction of domestic skyscrapers? Who was lodging and renting today in these prestigious “meters”? In particular, in the building on the Kotelnikiye embankment?
Where was the entrance to the secret “metro 2”, built for the leaders of the Soviet state? What secrets does the Foreign Power High -altitude keep, why did her tent spire subsequently rounded?
- What to visit in Moscow first
The list of unusual excursion routes in Moscow can be continued by the Moscow Art Nouveau theme. After all, the number of mansions and profitable houses in the capital, built in this style and well -preserved, is calculated by dozens. And literally everyone stores “history” in their walls. And even a few.
Walking excursions in Moscow
In China-Gorod, in the labyrinths of the streets, ancient buildings have been preserved: houses and churches that survived after a grandiose fire. Their history can be explored on a sincere walk on the most beautiful quarter of the capital.
As you know, after a comprehensive fire of 1812, Moscow was restored for a long time. And therefore today is a modern monument more than any other architectural style.
Houses and entire architectural complexes (the same stations) built according to the projects of the architects of Fedor Shekhtel and Lev Kekushev, who approached each new project, have their own face, are recognizable and remembered forever. In the decor, encrypted messages and allegories are found, sometimes filled with some kind of mysticism.
Which one? Find out for yourself! After reading several books on this subject, or walking around Moscow along with a knowledgeable person!
Amazing modern samples that live in Moscow lanes and on the streets: Ostozhenka and Prechistenka, the cook and Malaya Nikitskaya, many others – that the annals of history. Supering many interesting discoveries!
Moscow aristocratic
A special charm is also enclosed in a visit to the royal and aristocratic estates near Moscow, as well as churches and monasteries. Although, sorry, some are already almost in the center of the capital today.
For example, the same Petrovsky Palace on the Tver tract, now bearing the name of Leningradsky Prospekt. It was in him that all Russian emperors once stopped on the way to Moscow for coronation.
Petrovsky Palace is an example of neo -Gotik unusual for Russian architecture of the 18th century. Architect – Matvey Kazakov, customer of residence – Catherine II
The classic of the genre today was excursions on the museum-reserve of Kolomenskoye, the summer residence of the Moscow rulers and the beloved estate of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich. Still, because this is literally a journey into the distant past.
What did the magnificent wooden palace of Alexei Mikhailovich in Kolomensky with hundreds of luxuriously decorated chambers look like that did not survive to this day? And what treasures are stored in the churches of the estate near Moscow? Why did Catherine II build here, and not in the Kremlin, her palace?
The Arkhangelsk museum is very beautiful. Arising at the site of the estate of the princes of the Yusupov, the richest people of imperial Russia. Whose pedigree is shrouded in a large number of interesting legends.
Here are the questions that you will receive answers if you give yourself the opportunity to discover not quite ordinary, old Moscow. And her near and distant surroundings, of course.
