    The park is situated in 10 minutes on foot from Voykovskaya metrostation. It's the park where you can have a rest after crowdy city and I with my former wife did it often. Here is some ponds and nice forest. Some people risk to swim in ponds but I don't advise you to do it. Just have relaxation in the beatiful place.

    I found the park when walk through Voznesenske pereulok, between conservatory and Tverskaya street. I don't know its name. In the center of the park there is monument to Uzbek poet of middle ages times Nizami. The little fountain is near of monument as well. There are many benches and you can stay here to take a rest after walking. You can see pavilion as well but it's not clear inside and it's better to sit on the bench.

    A pedastrian street that joins Krasnopresnyanskaya metrostation, where you can see Christ the Saviour temple and Pushkin Fine Arts Museum, with Old Arbat, the famous pedastrian street of Moscow. Your walk could take 10-15 minutes of yours and you enjoy your walking in any season you'll be to Moscow.

    Parks/Walking Routes: Kamergerskiy pereulok (lane)

    Just yesterday while walking down Tverskaya str., we were asked by women: "Is it Arbat street?"
    They were pointing to the Kamergerskiy lane.
    Though, in some ways, it could be taken for Arbat (also pedestrian street with vintage-looking street lights) it's in fact very different from Arbat. The latter is now very touristic (too much, as for me) with all it's souvenir sellers, when Kamergerskiy is more genuine.
    Just take a stroll along the lane and then to Kuznetsky Most street. The streets looks like they were never changed for years.

    To the North-West of Moscow there is a very big park, that has a name Silver Forest. It is very popular place among the citizens. There are some ponds in the forest and Moscow River flows through the park. In summer people swim in the river here or just have a sun baths.
    The most comfortable way to go to the park is to get trolleybus 20 from Polezhaevskaya metrostation (violet line).

    Parks/Walking Routes: Park Statue - My one "MUST DO"

    Park Statue is directly across the street from Gorkiy Park on the far end of the Krymskiy Bridge. Statue Park is where they dragged all the communist era statues that they no longer had a need for after the collapse of the USSR. This little surprise turned out to be one of the best things I ran across in Moscow and its only $1.50 or so. The place today is half park and half art museum, with presentations on how statues are made and other artistic aspects. The park boasts also a nice beer garden that serves super looking crepes. This is so off the beaten path even the Muscovites don't go there often. They're missing out. Don't make the same mistake. See my travelogue for more pictures and commentary.

    A lane in the center of Moscow. You may get there either from Gogolevsky boulevard or while walking through the lanes not far from Arbat Street.
    It's just one of the typical old Moscow streets. But my Moscow, the genuine city that I like so much consists of such streets and places.

    Parks/Walking Routes: Boulevard Ring (Bulvarnoe Koltso)

    Actually Boulevard Ring isn't a ring. I mean that it doesn't form a closed circle. The streets (boulevards) forming a part of the circle (kind of an arc) differ from most of Moscow central streets: there are transport roads on each sides of them and walking path in the center with trees, benches. Sometimes there are cafes in this walking part of boulevards, sometimes monuments to Russian writers or revolutionaries :)
    I like walking down the boulevards. Sometimes they shorten the way (or make it the most pleasant) from one point to another (to say, from Arbat street to Pushkin square). Sometimes I intentionally choose them for a walk when I feel tired from the stones, buildings and asphalt but don't have enough time to go out of Moscow. The Ring consists of the following boulevards: Gogolevsky, Nikitsky, Tverskoy, Strastnoy, Petrovsky, Rozhdestvensky, Sretensky, Chistoprudny, Pokrovsky, Yauzsky.

    Gogolevsky boulevard.

    Gogolevsky is one of the boulevards forming so-called Boulevard Ring. This Ring isn't a closed one, one of its ends is Gogolevsky boulevard. It begins from Kropotkinskaya metro station ends by Gogol monument not far from Arbat street.
    In case you are going to make a full "ring" walking down the boulevards, you may start from Gogolevsky. Recently there are special stands for pictures on each sides of the walking path of the boulevard.

    Parks/Walking Routes: cross country skiing in and around Moscow

    • Izmailovsky Park in Moscow - Moscow
    Izmailovsky Park in
    Moscow
    by MrBill
    During the winter it can be a dull time if you cannot get out and enjoy the city despite the weather. There is a wealth of opportunities for walking and skating in one of the many parks in the city, but also many chances to go cross country skiing as well. Last year I was skiing a few times in Izmailovskiy Park which is on the outskirts of the city. There is also a huge outdoor market there which is worth a visit or two as well, especially if you have to buy souvenirs, as you will find it cheaper than Stariy Arbat market. Also, outside of Moscow, within a 30 to 60 minute drive depending on the traffic, you will find other chances for cross country skiing. A little further out and you even have downhill skiiing, which conveniently are also open at nights. I encourage you to get out and enjoy the winter, regardless of the weather. It makes time go by more quickly and is a great way build up a hearty appetite for the traditionally heavy foods that Russians eat during the winter months. Good luck.
