Moscow City and Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment: the National Centre RUSSIA invites you to outdoor tours
Tour guides from the National Centre RUSSIA offer free daily outdoor tours for Moscow residents and visitors: "Moscow City: A Look into the Sky" and "The Connecting Thread of Eras." The first tour introduces guests to the capital's main business district, while the second offers a scenic walk along Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment, unveiling fascinating insights into the history of this renowned Moscow area.
Participants of the Moscow City tour will learn how a former quarry transformed into a unique urban district and who were the visionaries behind this transformation. Guides will explain the technological innovations and original engineering solutions used in the construction of the Moscow City complex and take visitors across the entire district, showcasing its most iconic skyscrapers.
The engaging walking route along Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment will immerse guests in the history of a district where past and present are closely intertwined, cultural and geographical features of the city are vividly reflected, and the business and administrative heartbeat of both Moscow and the entire country thrives.
Participants will enjoy a walk along Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment, where they will see Moscow City, the Bagration Bridge, Expocentre, the World Trade Centre, the House of Government, the Ukraina Hotel, Krasnaya Presnya Park, and conclude the tour at the National Centre RUSSIA.
During the hour-and-a-half tour, guests will discover why this area was once called "Kameshki," learn about the prominent political, social, and cultural figures connected to its history, and find out about upcoming projects planned for this district.
Please note that the expositions on the second floor of the National Centre RUSSIA are currently unavailable. Visitors can still attend free tours and other events. The schedule and registration details are available on the website under the "Events".
