Rossich is a great place for those who want to relax after a hard day’s work and sit with friends, colleagues or loved ones in a comfortable home environment. The restaurant with Russian national color has several halls, and each of them is decorated in its own way, however, all the interiors are inspired by Russian culture: merchant estates and noble family estates, about which we all know so much from classic novels and literature lessons. So, one of the halls is completely decorated with wood in green colors and might like Mr. Oblomov, while the other hall, remotely resembling a terrace, is made of brick brought from the old estate of Tver, where the local representative of the merchant class lived. A small stone hall “Grot” has to conduct business lunches and family celebrations.
This idyllic atmosphere of a departed national paradise is supported by the menu. It contains a lot of authentic Russian dishes, in which the cooking technology has only partially changed. There are pike caviar, and homemade bacon with garlic, Russian pickles, and a real rich ear, and the right soup with donuts, and much more. And most importantly, here you can taste game dishes: everyone who dreamed of trying beaver meatballs, dumplings with bear meat or venison fillet, be sure to go to Rossich. Banquet tables are “bursting” under the weight of a piglet baked to the ruddy crust, goose in honey sauce, duck, turkey, sterlet in steams of wine with herbs, calf legs marinated in cognac, and other dishes of Russian cuisine. By the way, appetizers and desserts in the restaurant are also special: the regulars assure that such delicious pies with piping hot, as here in Moscow, are nowhere to be found, and cakes, pastries and ice cream are always fresh, their own, homemade.
Excellent cuisine and thoughtful cozy interior make many visitors come back here again and again. Rossich has continued to pleasantly surprise for more than 10 years, and no one has ever left this disappointed.

Moscow Night LifeMoscow: Night Life

One of the many things for which Moscow is famous is surely its wild nightlife. Moscow never sleeps. The capital certainly has something to offer fans of entertainment after sunset: from authentic jazz clubs to garage techno parties.

1. Elysium hall Men’s club

The evening will be bright if you spend it in the company of beautiful girls who are waiting for you in Elysium Hall. The men’s club is located just 1.5 km from the walls of the Moscow Kremlin, opposite the monument to Peter I.

Every day guests are waiting for:

magnificent performances and show programs performed by charming artists;
impeccable choreography and performances thought out to the smallest detail;
a special atmosphere created by a luxurious aristocratic interior.

The performances of the girls are staged by famous choreographers, their unique costumes are sewn by hand. Show ballet dancers will show you a real modern theater, using all their charm, body plasticity and acting.

The evening will be complemented by exquisite drinks and author’s dishes from the brand chef. You can stay in a common room, rent a lounge area, a VIP box or a VIP room.

Address: Prechistenskaya embankment, 17-19 ( Metro station Kropotkinskaya )

Opening hours: Mon-Sun from 21:00 to 05:00
Elysium Hall is open for you every night until 5 am, but if you wish, the club can always be extended.

2. Powerhouse

This is the coolest, in our opinion, nightclub in Moscow, located in a 19th-century mansion on Taganka. We will name at least three reasons to visit this place:

celebrity DJ line-up,
complete absence of pop music,
almost scientific interest in whiskey.

And in the summer, there is also an outdoor terrace with sun loungers in the courtyard – the best in the city, by the way.

The kitchen and bar are run by pros. Chef-bartender Pavel Andreev and chef Maxim Nekrasov made real gastro-experiments on the menu. Visitors are advised to take mussel popcorn and bagel with pastrami for a snack, and wash everything down with a toffee sour.

Address: Goncharnaya st., 7/4с1, Moscow;

Opening hours: Mon-Thu from 17:00 to 00:00; Fri from 17:00 to 05:00, Sat from 12:00 to 05:00, Sun from 12:00 to 00:00.

3. Gipsy night club

The secret of Gipsy’s popularity and getting into the top nightclubs in Moscow is simple – it’s a complete lack of rules and social framework. Here you can run into some important Moscow art director at the bar, then spar among the crowd of students to the songs of the Leningrad band, or retire in hammocks over artificial turf to finish off your daiquiri.

Everyone loves Gypsy, everyone wants to go there, but not everyone is allowed in – so think about the dress code in advance so that Sergey’s facer does not spoil your company’s mood.

Address: Bolotnaya embankment, 3/4, building 2, ( Kropotkinskaya metro station )

Opening hours: Fri-Sat from 23:00 to 06:00.

4. Propaganda night club

Propaganda is one of the first clubs of Moscow and represents a point of reference for the nightlife Muscovite from over 20 years. If we were to make the top round-the-clock nightclubs in Moscow, then Propaganda would top this chart. Parties are held here every day, from Monday to Sunday. Even people who are far from club life have heard about the crazy “Thursdays of Sanchez”, which have remained the hallmark of the legendary club since the opening.

During the day, the establishment works as a cafe serving homemade pappardelle, and at night they come off on the dance floor, quenching their thirst with one of a dozen cocktails on the bar menu.

Address: Bolshoy Zlatoustinsky Lane, 7с1 ( Metro station Kitay-gorod )

Opening hours: Mon-Sun from 12:00 to 06:00.

5. Bla bla bar

So you have read our rating of the coolest nightclubs to the next bar agglomeration. Bla bla bar has united 12 bars in the Depo food mall with one concept, where you can try rye whiskey, pan-Asian cocktails from matches and wild berry tinctures.

By midnight, the tables are cleared, and the bar association turns into a huge dance floor, where trendy DJ sets and live vocals sound.

Address : St. Lesnaya, 20/5 ( Metro station Novoslobodskaya )

Opening hours: Fri-Sat from 19:00 to 06:00, Sun from 18:00 to 00:00

6. Salt night club

Getting into the rating of the best nightclubs in Moscow, this institution at the Trekhgornaya manufactory was provided with a bright entertainment program. On Thursdays there are jazz concerts, on Fridays there are cover bands, and on Saturday they are replaced by trendy indie DJs. The bar list also has a lot of interesting things – the head of cocktails, Vasily Zheglov, adds artichokes to chocolate tonic and fills gin with raspberry schnapps. This is the whole “Salt”ю

Address: St. Solyanka, 1/2 ( Metro station Kitay-gorod )

Opening hours: Tue-Fri from 10:00 to 00:00, Sat from 10:00 to 05:00.

7. Rolling Stone Bar

The first association with the name Rolling Stone is rock and roll. A bar with such a name and a view of the Moscow River, located on the territory of the Krasny Oktyabr factory, justifies this name completely, starting with the interior and ending with the unrestrained and incendiary atmosphere of fun, music and dancing – the atmosphere that is created by both visitors and the staff of the establishment.

Address: Bolotnaya embankment, 3с1 ( Metro station Kropotkinskaya )

Opening hours: Monday–thursday from 18:00 to 1:00, Friday from 18.00 to 10.00, Saturday from 14.00 to 10.00, Sunday from 14.00 to 7.00

8. 16 Tons Club

“16 tons” without a doubt goes to the list of the best nightclubs in Moscow, because since the opening in 1996, only the names on the posters have changed in the institution, but not the impeccable service of the institution.

The club became a lucky ticket to showbiz for eminent Russian performers: here, for example, Zemfira and Semantic Hallucinations gave their first concerts.

We also advise you to pay attention to the local draft. The club “16 tons” has its own brewery, which produces three patented beers: light special, special red and double dark.

Address: Presnensky Val street, 6с1 ( Metro station Street 1905 )

Opening hours: Mon-Sun from 11:00 to 06:00.

Moscow Temples and cathedralsMoscow: Temples and cathedrals

Christ the Savior Cathedral

This cathedral church was founded in 1839 as a monument to the soldiers of the Russian army who fought and died in battles with the army of Napoleon. It was built on the collected funds for a long time – until 1883. During the Stalinist reconstruction of Moscow, the temple, which did not correspond to the communist ideals, was blown up, and in its place an open swimming pool “Moscow” was made. But after the fall of the Soviet Union, the state took upon itself the task of rebuilding the temple, which it was able to cope very quickly from 1994 to 1997. Then the temple was handed over to the Russian Orthodox Church and became operational. Inside the temple are luxurious interiors with painted walls depicting Russian princes and historical characters who fought for the unity of Russia and Orthodoxy. The temple was given the status of a courtyard of the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia.

Cathedral of the Epiphany in Yelokhovo

The first mention of the newly built Yelokhovsky Cathedral is in a decree of 1694 issued by Patriarch Adrian. The first decades of this church was wooden, but later, by decree of Peter I, it was rebuilt from stone. The donation for the reconstruction was given by the princess Praskovya Ivanovna – the daughter of John V. In the Soviet period, the history of the temple was full of unrest and persecution, but in the 90s life in the Elokhovsky church returned to normal. Many Orthodox shrines are kept here: fragments of the hand of the Apostle Andrew the First-Called, cancer with pieces of wood from the cross on which Jesus was crucified, the relics of St. John Chrysostom, the icon of the Mother of God “Joy of All Who Sorrow” and others.

Peter and Paul Church in Yasenevo

The village of Yasenevo was first mentioned in the XIV century. According to sources, a number of wooden churches were located at the site of a modern temple at different times. Finally, in 1751, construction of a church in honor of the first apostles Peter and Paul began here. Construction ended in 2 years. Instead of nondescript wooden churches, now there stood a beautiful stone temple, near which there was a manor with well-kept parks and gardens, alleys and ponds.

All Saints Church in Vsesvyatsky on the Falcon

The Georgian princess Darya Archilovna, who lived in Moscow in 1733, ordered to build a church dedicated to all the saints in her patrimony, a village near Moscow, in the All Saints. The construction was completed in 3 years, after which the church was consecrated. Half a century after this service here were conducted in Georgian, and at the church there was a graveyard for Georgian nobility. By the beginning of the XIX century an iconostasis appeared in the church. Now around the church is the Moscow district “Falcon”.

Church of Elijah the Prophet in Obydensky Lane

This wooden church – the “routine” appeared here in 1582 in one day, during a drought. Later, in 1702-1706, according to the project of I. Zarudny, a baroque building appeared, which has survived to the present day. The temple operated in the Soviet period, so it was able to preserve many shrines that fell into it for storage from other closed or destroyed temples and monasteries. Here you can see the miraculous icon of the Mother of God “Unexpected Joy”, the icon “Fiery Ascension of Elijah the Prophet”, a part of the belt of the Most Holy Mother of God.

Church of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin in Yasenevo

The construction of this new temple began quite recently – in 2008, and in 2015, Patriarch Kirill consecrated the building of the new temple and served the divine liturgy there. The architecture of the temple building was borrowed from the XII century Byzantine temple architecture, and the inner space of the temple was also decorated according to Byzantine canons. Its walls are decorated with numerous mosaics that copy the best examples of the Byzantine school. The church has a basement floor, in the center of which is a baptismal font in honor of the Archangel Michael.

Cathedral of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God in Red Square

The first cathedral on this site appeared in 1625, after which it was repeatedly subjected to destruction and subsequent reconstructions, with each of which its appearance changed significantly. The last “reincarnation” of the cathedral took place in 1990. According to legend, the miraculous discovery of the icon of the Kazan Mother of God took place after a strong fire in 1579, which turned Kazan and its Kremlin into ruins. The archer, who started rebuilding his burnt house immediately, found an icon of the Mother of God under a layer of sand. Rumors about miraculous healings were soon spread all over the city, and the icon was believed to be the culprit. For a long time this icon served as the patroness and protector of Russian soldiers. During the war with Poland, the Russian army took copies of this icon, and when the war ended in victory, the soldiers promised to build a temple in the center of Moscow in honor of this icon.

Church of St. Nicholas in Khamovniki

In all of Moscow, this church is one of the most visited and beautiful Orthodox churches. The architecture of this 17th century monument is known far beyond the borders of Russia. Initially, the church of St. Nicholas was made of wood, and the first mention of it dates back to 1625. In 1657, it was replaced by a stone structure, and instead of a simple, strict style, a more elaborate, elegant one appeared – the so-called “wondrous pattern”. This style is widely used colored tiles, bright colors, a lot of decorative elements. The church building was built of brick, which was trimmed with white stone, and the facades are decorated with red and green tiles. Since the construction of the stone church has been repeatedly restored, however, the service in it at the same time did not stop – it was always open to believers.

Church of St. Michael the Archangel in Troparyovo

Also, the church of Michael the Archangel was built in Troparyovo several times. The first, still wooden building, was absorbed by the fire. At the end of the 17th century, it was decided to erect a stone church in honor of Michael, which was built in 1694. Funds for the construction of the church gave the female Novodevichy monastery, since the village of Troparyovo belonged to his parish. The war with Napoleon, and later the destructive first decades of the Bolshevik rule, greatly disfigured the temple. However, in the years 1964-1970, Mosobrestoration specialists put a lot of effort into the restoration of the church, both outside and inside. The temple in Troparyovo is now considered a great shrine, since many relics highly prized by Christians are kept in it: the icons of the Mother of God “It is worthy to eat”, the “Inexhaustible Chalice”, the icon of St. Princess Anna Kashinskaya, Great Martyr George, St. Nicholas, the Blessed Moscow Matron.

Church of John the Warrior on Yakimanka

This church appeared in 1704-1713 during the reign of Peter I. The Church of John the Warrior is an excellent example of Russian Baroque, it has been standing on Bolshaya Yakimanka for more than three centuries. The layout of the building is traditionally Russian (supposedly it was drawn by the emperor himself), using the principle of “octagon on a quadrangle”. The building has an unexpectedly bright facade, decorated with yellow, green and red mosaics. Throughout its long history, this church has never stopped working, even in the harsh for it 20-30 years of the last century. Believers especially honor this temple for the fact that there are many especially revered relics in it: an icon and a piece of relics with a ring from the Great Martyr Barbara, an icon of the Vladimir Mother of God, other icons and arks containing ashes of over 150 saints.

Interesting Places MoscowMoscow: Interesting Places

Red Square

The Kremlin is certainly the main metropolitan attraction. He is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The red fortress is visible from almost every point in the center of the capital, so getting to it will not be difficult. Familiar from photographs from guidebooks red toothed walls with a length of 2235 meters cover the territory of 27.5 hectares. And although not all of it is open to visitors, for example, the entrance is closed to the presidential residence with a simple mortal. But it is worth allocating to visit the Kremlin with its many museums and architectural attractions built from XIV to the XIX century all day.
Red Square is an arena of many important events of Russian history and the history of the Soviet state, a place of mass demonstrations of the working capital and parades of the Armed Forces of Russia.
Even in ancient times, the area appeared on the eastern wall of the Kremlin, where lively trade was noisy. In the 16th century, it was called Troitskaya from the name of the church of St. Trinity, standing on the site of the Cathedral of Vasily Blessed. In the Middle Ages, fires often blazed here, so the square had another name – “fire”. Since the mid -17th century, it began to be called “red”, which in the Old Russian language meant “beautiful.”
Modern Red Square is a continuous stone, but it acquired this species only in the 19th century, and before that it was mainly wooden. The cobblestone area was completely panted in 1804.

The design plant originated on the territory of the former crystal glass factory and became a pioneer in the revitalization of the industrial zone outside the historical buildings of Moscow. The initial absence of the framework largely determined its specificity. “Flacon” has become a powerful platform for the development of young projects, the self-expression of creative individuals and the implementation of socio-cultural initiatives. It is not by chance that the atmosphere of “Flacon” fully corresponds to its motto: “Do what you want!”

The Birdges of moscow

More than 500 bridges have been built in the capital. Some of them connect the shores, others hover over highways, others are designed for leisurely walks and romantic meetings. Many constructions are lost against the backdrop of urban scale and grandiosity.

Bagration Bridge

The trade and pedestrian bridge as part of the Moscow City complex was opened in 1997 on the 850th anniversary of Moscow and named after the hero of the Patriotic War of 1812 Pyotr Ivanovich Bagration, whose monument is located on Kutuzovsky Prospekt. It consists of two levels. The lower level is a covered gallery glazed throughout. The upper level is partially glazed; it has an open observation deck. Both levels are interconnected by stairs, escalators and elevators. At the moment, restaurants and cafes, a travel agency, a beauty salon, and a bowling center are open at different levels of the bridge. In one of the rooms there is a tree of wonders, which can also be used for photo and video shooting. There are a couple of pretty benches in the middle of the bridge and some lively greenery. Thanks to the views from the bridge, this bridge is also popular with newlyweds, who often come here for wedding photo shoots.

Address: Emb. Taras Shevchenko, 23A (Metro station Vystavochnaya)

The Million Bridge

The hydrotechnical structure is one of the architectural monuments of the late 18th century. The most famous Russian aqueduct, built back in the time of Catherine II. It was built over the Yauza River to supply the city with clean water, for which a lot of government money was spent. The arched structure made of stone seems to step over the river, reminiscent of a building from antiquity. For its intended purpose (for laying a water pipeline through a ravine), the aqueduct was used until 1902. Until 2004, it served as a support for the heating main, and after restoration in 2007, it became a pedestrian bridge. The designers have added railings, a roof and a lighting system, and a recreation park has been arranged around.

Address: Rostokinskiy aqueduct (Metro station VDNKh)

Bogdan Khmelnitsky

The futuristic-style building was opened in 1997 and named after the hero of the Patriotic War of 1812 Pyotr Ivanovich Bagration, whose monument is located on Kutuzovsky Prospekt. It takes just 8 minutes to walk across the bridge from Presnenskaya embankment to the Moscow City business center. It is made of concrete and equipped with ventilation, air conditioning, fire alarms, surveillance cameras. On the lower closed level there are walkways and travolators. The upper tier is partially glazed. There are shopping pavilions and an observation deck.

Address: Emb. Taras Shevchenko, 23A (Metro station Vystavochnaya)

Crimean Bridge

This automobile-pedestrian suspension bridge, thrown across the Moscow River on the Garden Ring highway, was opened in 1938. It got its name from the ancient Crimean ford, through which the Crimean Tatars moved on raids to Moscow. The bridge offers a beautiful view of the Frunzenskaya embankment and Gorky Park, Pushkinskaya, Krymskaya and Prechistenskaya embankments, the monument to Peter I, the Central House of Artists, located on Krymsky Val. The Crimean bridge is especially beautiful in the evening and at night.

Address: Crimean bridge ( Metro station Park of Culture )

Andreevsky railway bridge

The crossing between Andreevskaya and Luzhnetskaya embankments is part of the Third Ring Road. Two bridges standing close to each other combined transport and railway functions. The structure on which the rails are laid was built in 2000 on the site of an outdated one. It is assembled on solid scaffolds by hanging mounting and supplemented with flyovers. The bridge offers panoramas of the historical center and Sparrow Hills. It can be walked from Frunzenskaya and Pushkinskaya embankments

Address: Andreevsky pedestrian bridge ( Metro station Frunzenskaya )

Pushkinsky walking bridge (Andreevsky)

The basis of the Andreevsky bridge was the railway bridge built in 1908, which was part of the small ring of the Moscow ring railway.

In Soviet times, the bridge and the railway were practically not used, and therefore in 1999 it was moved to the territory of Gorky Park, completed and made pedestrian. The base of the bridge was delivered to the park by water, and after the construction of a modern glass crossing, the bridge became a pedestrian one. Today, a wonderful view of the Moscow River and Gorky Park opens from the Andreevsky Pedestrian Bridge. You can walk along the bridge both under the glass roof and outside. It also has an observation deck with free binoculars. From here you have a great view of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. The Kremlin, the famous Moscow skyscrapers, the Shukhov TV tower and many other sights of Moscow.

Address: Andreevskaya embankment (Metro station Leninsky Prospekt)

Patriarshy Bridge

Pedestrian bridge opposite the Cathedral of Christ the Savior 203 meters long. Lanterns in the style of the 19th century provided beautiful evening illumination, and openwork railings gave lightness to the structure. The opening of the bridge took place in 2004. From it you can clearly see the Kremlin, Bolotny Island, the monument to Peter I.
This place is also famous among newly weds, here you can see many castles with the names of couples who want to perpetuate their love forever.

Address: Yakimanskaya embankment ( Metro station Kropotkinskaya )

Zhivopisny Bridge (Picturesque bridge)

The highest cable-stayed bridge in Europe connects the protected area Serebryany Bor and the Krylatskoye area.

It was put into operation in 2007 and got its name from the nearby street. In terms of popularity among filmmakers, the bridge has no equal among similar structures in the capital. It is equipped with noise-absorbing screens and stairways. The movement of cars takes place in 8 lanes, and the width of pedestrian sidewalks is 1.5 meters. The decoration of the crossing is a bright coral arch and a glass capsule at the top of its arch. Its height above the surface of the river is 30 meters, its width is slightly less than 40 meters, and its length reaches one and a half kilometers. The height of the arch is more than 100 m. The dimensions of the ellipsoid are also striking, the length of which is more than 30 m, the height is 13 m, and the width is about 25 m. Its weight is more than 1000 tons. This building is grandiose in every way. Until now, the fate of the ellipsoidal observation deck has not been finally decided. According to the original project, a restaurant was supposed to be located here. But for technical reasons, this idea had to be abandoned. After that, it was decided to open a registry office here.

After all, it would be so romantic to conclude sacred bonds not just anywhere, but right in the sky above Moscow! But so far this project has not been implemented.

Address: Marshal Zhukov Avenue ( Metro station Krylatskoye )

Big Stone Bridge

The majestic bridge is one of the visiting cards of the city. It rises above the waters of the Moskva River, connecting the Kremlin and Sofiyskaya embankments. In the old days, in its place was a crossing of logs, which was risky to move along. The first stone structure here was built in 1687. During the time of Peter I, thieves gathered under it, and after dark, Muscovites tried not to walk in these places alone. The modern structure with a length of 487 meters was erected in 1938 with the participation of engineer N. Ya. Kalmykov. Its fence was decorated with images of the Soviet coat of arms of Moscow.

Address: Kremlin embankment (Metro station Alexander Garden)

Figured bridge

The construction of the Tsaritsyno residence near Moscow was entrusted by Catherine II to the architect V.I. Bazhenov. The empress was dissatisfied with the estate and never appeared here. The place gradually fell into disrepair. Restoration work was completed only in 2007. The attention of visitors to the palace and park ensemble is immediately attracted by the figured bridge, which was supposed to serve as the second main entrance. The combination of red brick and white stone, high towers with lancet openings, carved frames and pyramids give the building an exceptional look.
For a large number of sculptural elements, Vasily Bazhenov called his bridge “Figured”. It was he who laid the foundation for the construction of the legendary architectural monument – the Tsaritsyno estate.

Address: Dolskaya street,1soor40 ( Metro station Orekhovo )
