Park Life
Moscow's major green spaces - namely Gorky Park and Hermitage Garden - have been re-
vamped into vibrant centres of sport and culture. Gone (mostly) are the kiddie rides and un-
kempt areas. In their place are sport clubs, bike trails, music festivals, art exhibits, dance
parties - and, of course, plenty of summer cafes. Young, active 'hipsters' are digging park life
in these new-found urban oases.
Jewish Museum & Centre for Tolerance
Excellent, interactive multimedia presentations encourage visitors to ask challenging ques-
tions at this brand new, ground-breaking museum .
Moscow Museum
This city museum has a new location and a new mission. Visit the cool post-industrial space
(formerly a Defence Ministry warehouse) for artistic, thought-provoking exhibits on contem-
porary issues.
Krymskaya naberezhnaya
This embankment is now closed to traffic and filled with fountains and art. The fantastic urb-
an space also provides a perfect pedestrian route from Red October to Gorky Park.
Flakon
This former glassworks has been turned over to artists and designers. Besides the business of-
fices and design studios, there are a slew of cool boutiques selling truly original stuff.
Street Food
Moscow's parks and plazas are dotted with cafes, kiosks and food trucks, serving up cheap
tasties. Sample the best of Moscow's street food around Gorky Park and Hermitage Garden.
