Where to meet locals in Moscow

Fact 12. 

There are three original places to meet locals and make friends with them in Moscow. 
1. Parks. Thousands of people go to Gorky Park every day, 20 000 to be precise. Only subway can compete with this number, but then you probably would prefer a relaxed stroll then being squeezed at a rush hour 





2. Embankments and Bridges. They are picturesque especially at sunset, and we love taking pictures on them







3. Restaurant terraces, which are an essential part of Moscow, and are a concentration of most modern, beautiful and cheerful crowd in one place

Russian Architecture

Walking along the streets I often find extremely nice and atmospheric buildings of Soviet Moscow. 






Fact 11. 
There has always been an eye-catching contrast between modern & old architecture and day by day it's noticed more often. Old houses are forbidden to destroy, new ones are appearing every day (not in the center itself though). This contrast reflects the Russian mentality too, by the way. Contrastive, surprising and unpredictable...






I'm happy such cute houses still exist and exactly in the center. I love such isles of romantic walking and eating a vanilla ice-cream. Mmm...



Apart from 7 Stalin skyscrapers and modern Moscow city ones there are just beautiful buildings, historical, of course. Almost everything in Moscow has its history









And everything has its price. Appartments in the center of Moscow can cost as much as $ 11 million...


                                                      


I don't know what impresses me more: architecture of such buildings or people who built these houses. This one in particular was built in 90-ies.
