Local Life
Markets
The Danilovsky Market is a trek from the centre but it's worth it, especially in
the summer and early autumn, when stalls are filled with fruit and berries you can't hope
to find in a supermarket.
Outdoor activities
Closed for vehicles, but welcoming cyclists, rollerbladers and pedes-
trians, Moscow's answer to London's South Bank stretches for 8km from Red October to
Vorobyovy Gory via Gorky Park, which offers a few zillion activities, from petanque to
dancing.
