Zaryadye Park
Description of the tour:
Kitay-gorod is a visiting card of Moscow, it is recognizable and unique, imbued with the spirit of five centuries, each of which has left its mark on its history. Although the main attraction of this area of the capital - the Kitaygorodskaya Wall has been preserved only in fragments, there is something to see here. On the territory of Kitay-Gorod there are such "iconic" objects as the Kazan Cathedral, St. Basil's Cathedral, Gostiny Dvor, GUM.
We also offer to go with us on an exciting excursion to the recently opened Zaryadye Park - a unique recreation area in the very "heart" of Moscow. You will get acquainted with the unthinkable technologies of the future and ancient temples, with picturesque natural landscapes and futuristic structures in the style of "hi-tech".
During the tour you will:
- You will hear a lot of fascinating stories about the life of representatives of various classes – rich merchants and small craft people, nobles, monks and clergymen who once chose this area of Moscow.
- You will find out where the first Moscow printing house was located, why the first printers were treated badly by the people, considering them sorcerers, and what tricks merchants resorted to, wanting to sell goods
- You will follow the route of hapless revelers – from entertainment establishments to the debt pit, which was located right there.
- Visit the Dome pavilion, located at the very entrance to the park from the side of Red Square. The relatively small glass building is both an information center and an exhibition area. It is here that our acquaintance with the Zaryadye Park will begin. The interior of the Dome is decorated with a huge number of QR codes, and this is not a tribute to futuristic fashion, although it looks very impressive. The ornament of the codes hides the history of the creation of the park, a guide to its territory, interesting facts about the historical district of Zaryadye and other useful information. Point your smartphone and get acquainted!
- Take a trip through space and time - take a walk through the picturesque territory of the park and get acquainted with its main architectural objects. Here ultramodern buildings and structures peacefully coexist with ancient temples, creating a prototype of the city of the future. You will visit four climatic zones of Russia, reliably recreated in the park, look under the "Glass Crust", walk along the Floating Bridge, see the Media Center and the "Reserved Embassy".
