"Connecting Thread of Eras": the National Centre RUSSIA invites you to a new excursion program
Starting
from January 15, visitors to the National Centre RUSSIA will be able to enjoy
an exciting walking route, "Connecting Thread of Eras," which runs
along the Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment.
The
one-and-a-half-hour excursion delves into the rich history of the district,
where the memory of historical events from different years, the rich cultural
traditions, and the vibrant business life of the city and the entire country
are closely intertwined.
Participants
in this fascinating walk will learn how the appearance of the embankment has
changed over the centuries and what landmark events took place here. They will
hear stories about outstanding individuals who left their mark on the history
of the embankment and get acquainted with architectural masterpieces that shape
the unique appearance of one of the iconic places in the center of the capital.
The route
starts from the Bagration merchant and pedestrian bridge and runs along the
Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment with views of such landmarks as Moscow City, the
International Trade Centre, the Government House, the Ukraina Hotel, the
Krasnaya Presnya Park, and, of course, the National Centre RUSSIA, where the
tour will conclude.
At the end
of the walking tour, all interested guests will be able to visit the National
Centre, where guides will introduce them to the exposition. The tours are free
of charge and start every 15 minutes from the main information desk.
The
duration of the "Connecting Thread of Eras" tour is up to 90 minutes.
The total walking distance is 1.5 kilometers. The tour starts at 11 in the
morning. The meeting point is the ground-level vestibule of the Delovoy Tsentr
metro station (Bagration Bridge). The group will gather at the "Tree of
Life" — a sculptural composition located in the vestibule of the bridge.
For the Filievskaya (4a) and Solntsevskaya (8a) metro lines, use the metro
station No. 5. A guide holding a sign that reads "Excursions. National
Centre RUSSIA" will be waiting for you.

tours will run from January 15 to March 2.
The National Centre RUSSIA informs visitors that its opening hours will be temporarily adjusted in the penultimate week of March.
