A way to view Moscow quickly, without traffic jams and from all sides.
If you came to Moscow for a short time, but want to see the city for real, then a trip along the Moscow Central Ring is perhaps the best option.
Although no. The best option is still the Moscow Red bus, which will take you to the main attractions.
But from the window of this bus you will see postcard Moscow, not quite real. Yes, you need to go on such an excursion, but it will not be exactly Moscow. It will be....Well, let's say a man walked along Deribasovskaya and tells everyone that he saw Odessa.
But a trip around the MCC will give you the opportunity to see the city from the inside. And there will be sights too.
The ring was opened quite recently. The opening was preceded by rather aggressive advertising. Posters calling for driving around the MCC hung at every stop.
True, cynic Muscovites did not appreciate the creativity and saw on this poster not a transplant scheme, but a mouse. Dead mouse. Well, joke with her. With a mouse. In fact, the builders and railway workers succeeded. Firstly, all stations are modern and fit into the surrounding landscape.
Although construction and landscaping continues all around.
But it will pass.
And the trains are already good. Almost airplane chairs with tables.
Wi-Fi in the carriages.
220V sockets. to recharge phones.
Urns. Finally!!! !
A scoreboard that has everything from speed to temperature overboard.
So that the trip will be comfortable. It is not for nothing that there is a joke in Moscow about a Moscow bastard who for 3 hours fooled and rolled a girl from the provinces around the MCC, claiming that they were going to St. Petersburg on a high-speed Sapsan.
It will take 80 minutes to make a full circle. Ideally, you need to take a Muscovite with you. Try to find a real one and not with six months of experience. I understand that the task is not easy, but it is worth it. The fact is that the trains have everything except the audio guide. So, a smart Muscovite is simply necessary.
On the way you will meet obvious sights. Let's say the Luzhniki Stadium.
The building of Moscow State University on Sparrow Hills.
Novodevichy Convent.
City.
Well, there's a lot more, but only a Muscovite will tell you that in this banquet house "Safisa" weddings are held with a budget comparable to the budget of a small country.
Or he will tell the story of the "Izmailovo" hotel, which is popularly called ABVGDeyka. An interesting place. In Soviet times, one of the popular places for blacksmiths and gamblers.
Explain how this kitsch Kremlin appeared almost on the outskirts.
He will sigh when he sees the long-smokeless chimneys of the dead ZIL plant.
He will be glad that not all of Moscow's industry has collapsed. ( This precast concrete plant also worked on weekends. )
Reveal the secret of the Upper and other cauldrons.
Tell a story about an unusual building of the Academy of Sciences of the Russian Federation.
As a result, you will see Moscow not only from the front, glossy side. You will see a working city, not always rich, often not rich at all, sometimes simple, and sometimes sassy, sometimes cozy and cute, and sometimes Padonkavian and dangerous. In short, you won't regret it. The price of pleasure - 55 rubles. Well, plus a beer for a Muscovite who tried for you.
A few more interesting shots.
This is not a shooting defect. this is the real color of the station next to City.
From the existing overpass, preparations of congresses have been made so far to nowhere. But in a few years they will be needed.

The photo shows several eras at once. End of the 19th century. Seventies of the twentieth century. Beginning of the 2000s. Our days.
