Walking Around Moscow

Mikhail Zhebrak is a Muscovite, a tour guide, the author and host of the “Walks” program on the TV channel “Culture.”

Moscow is the ideal city for strolling. As the years go by and he discovers more and more new facts about the capital’s landmarks, the author has gathered his favorite routes and shared them with you. In this book, you’ll see the best and most characteristic buildings, but described in detail only someone local knows—routes such as “Tsar of the Mountain,” “The Merchant Goes,” “Against the Backdrop of Pushkin,” “The Oprichnik Side Street,” “The Border of the White,” “The Pocket of Zamoskvorechye,” and “Under the Mountain.” Seven routes, like seven Moscow hills, will let you admire the city and learn a lot of new things about it.

This guide, with stories about architectural masterpieces and entertaining tales about famous people of the capital, will be interesting and useful for residents and visitors of Moscow. Listen to the audiobook—we hope it will inspire you to take a walk along the proposed routes.
