If you are ready to ride a bicycle 25 kilometers, you should definitely try this tour. The distance can be slightly increased for free if you have the time and opportunity. This tour is equally good both day and night, on the roads is light enough for a safe ride.

We will start on the square near the Kiev station, then we will go along the Moskva River embankment to Moscow State University. We will climb the Vorobyov Hills, if we wish, we will ride a bike through the territory of Moscow State University, where I will tell you many interesting stories, because I studied there before.

At the top of the hills there will be an excellent observation deck, and another one after a few kilometers, when we reach the building of the Academy of Sciences.

Then we go back to the embankment, and get to Gorky Park and further to the Museon Art Park. There you can see the old monuments that were taken from all over the country, as well as an exhibition of street artists and interesting fantasies.

Further we will go through embankments and squares and bridges to Red Square, we will pass near to the Big theater, the house of parliament, on the central streets of Moscow.

At the end there will be the famous Arbat Street or the new Arbat Street of your choice. Also, if you have time, we can look at the hotel Ukraine – this is one of the skyscrapers of the times of Stalin. On the route we will see two such buildings nearby – the second will be the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The beginning of the route is the Kievskaya subway station, the end is the same.

Option: you can drink some beer in the oldest Soviet beer bar. 250 rubles (3 euros) a mug of good beer. Just there you can have a bite, a dining room in the spirit of the USSR.

Option: If it is interesting for you and there is time – we can go around the entire territory of Moscow State University, I studied there and can tell a lot of interesting things: legends and fairy tales too 🙂 The same price.
