If It's not so cold for you, take a day that the sky is clear and spend all of it in the Kolo. park. You'll fell amazed by the amount of great places to visit there, the sightseeing' and all the great moments you'll have.
Huge park in 20 minutes from downtown with nice paths and promenade along Moscow river. Great place for walking, biking or roller skating.
Nice park away from the noisy and crowded city. Easily reachable by metro, you will fomd peace and nice churches... Good for a day of relax in your staying at Moscow...
It is one of my lovely places in Moscow where the history, architecture and beautiful nature are intertwined: many objects to look at, many places to look from, souvenirs, meal... and the apple garden. Visit it in the end of August or at the first decade of September and you will be able to pluck testy apples from the trees in Moscow!
Nature and great architecture in one visit. It's specially nice in autumn and before Eastern it's the place where many Russians love to celebrate "maslenitsa".
It's beautiful, there are sights to visit (like Peter's hut), there are exhibitions and festivals held here, there is always something to do... no cars allowed (and no swimming in the river :)) It's more on a wild side than Gorky park, VDNKh, etc., but is very well kept. The place is just great to spend a weekend afternoon/the whole day.
An amazing park. Beautiful fountains, beautiful brides walking around getting there pictures taken. Beautiful museum. If you have the time try and visit this park.
If you have time, Kolomeneskoye Park is a place worth visiting. The park covers a great area where you can walk around and see a few churches, including The White Column of Kolomeneskoye that was included in the Unesco World Heritage List in 1994, a reconstruction of the Wooden Palace and a viewpoint where you can see a part of Moscow city.The wooden palace, although a reconstruction of the original one, is very beautiful and what struck me most was the unusual architecture and the vivid colors. There are two ways of getting to the Park, by subway or by car. We went by car and it took us about 30 minutes to get there. As most of the tourist attractions in Russia, it is better if you hire a private tour guide, as there are usually no english signs and almost no one speaks or likes to speak in English. To be fair there were a few English signs/pamphlets inside the palace explaining about the rooms, but they are very succinct and usually tour guides know more about the history of the place. If, on the other hand, you are not that interested in history I suppose you can go by yourself.The entire visit took us about half a day, we spent one to two hours in the Palace and about two hours walking around plus the rides to and from Kolomeneskoye. Worth your time!
A very special park in Moscow. Very old orthodox churches, a view from the hill, an old burying-ground, and an apple garden are all at one place.
This is an oasis of quiet, tradition and beauty in busy, crowded Moscow. It is an easy walk from Kolomenskoe metro. There are lots of places to eat and drink on the way from the metro station to the Park.
