Moscow: A Captivating Embrace of History, Art and Modernity
From Red Square to Gorky Park — revisiting the World View destination of our previous issue.
Moscow is far more than Russia’s capital: it is a world center of culture and art. The colorful domes of Saint Basil’s Cathedral, the stone texture of Red Square and the towers of the Kremlin compose the city’s skyline like a painting.
Returning to the World View destination of our previous issue, we don’t skip the city’s modern face either: Gorky Park’s redesigned riverfront, the Tretyakov Gallery’s collection and a new generation of city kitchens offer visitors a layered experience.
The Moscow metro, with stations known as “underground palaces”, is a museum in its own right.
Red Square, the Kremlin, the Tretyakov Gallery, Gorky Park and Arbat Street stand out as the five classic stops. Moscow is one of the rare capitals that balances the weight of history with the speed of modern life.
