ВДНХ огромная, на один день точно не хватит 😅
Красная площадь и Кремль — классика, без них Москву не представить.
Воробьёвы горы с видом на МГУ и весь город, особенно на закате.
Третьяковка обязательна! «Явление Христа народу» вживую впечатляет.
Парк Горького зимой с катком просто сказка ⛸️
Московское метро — это настоящий музей, особенно «Маяковская» и «Комсомольская».
В Пушкинский музей лучше идти с утра в будни, меньше людей.
Парк «Зарядье» с парящим мостом над Москвой-рекой — мой любимый вид на город.
Арбат слишком туристический, лучше погулять по Патриаршим.
