5 most ROMANTIC places in Moscow
Where in the Russian capital can you go for a date and impress someone special? We’ve gathered five of the best spots (according to us)!
1. Moscow Planetarium
You’ll be able to gaze at the starry sky, even when it’s cloudy in Moscow, discover the mysteries of the universe and enjoy a cosmic romance in comfortable reclining chairs.
2. Kuskovo Estate
A favorite location for wedding photoshoots, where white dresses gleam every Saturday against the backdrop of a luxurious pink nobleman’s house, garden sculptures and greenhouses. You’ll be able to take a romantic stroll, have a picnic, admire the water, go boating or even get lost in the lush greenery of the park on retro benches!
3. Observation decks, ‘Moscow City’ business center
The capital’s business hub boasts not one, but two high-altitude observation decks, both offering panoramic 360° views. The ‘OKO Tower’ invites you up to the 92nd floor to see Moscow from 354 meters above ground, while the ‘Federation Tower’ provides a panoramic view from 327 meters up (the 89th floor).
4. Vorobyovy Gory (Sparrow Hills)
Another popular spot for wedding photoshoots. From the observation deck, all of Moscow is laid out like on the palm of your hand; you can count the skyscrapers and gaze at the majestic river. You can also take a ride on the cable car and, if you’re lucky, you might get a cabin for two or you can simply pay extra for a VIP cabin!
5. ‘Illyuzion’ сinema
At one of Moscow’s oldest cinemas, you can watch retro movies (sometimes even for free! So, check the schedule), including romantic Soviet comedies. Plus, the venue is located in the atmospheric Stalin’s skyscraper.
