Meeting Benches World art in all forms
Away from museums and guided tours, living as a resident of the city, possibly on Sunday (the ideal day). You could start off by Kalitnikova, leaving you drag from the crowd, to a special direction: the “Pticyj rynok” (Market of the birds). Obviously you will have to love animals to give yourself the experience of birds, cats and dogs of all breeds. A walk along the Moskva River, cross country skiing or skating? Nothing better than going to the Gorky Park, where you also find a big wheel and the restaurant where you can enjoy good “ponciki”. Izmailovo is not Montmartre, but visiting the Izmailovo Park you can taste something of the Russian imagination, even in a simple birch forest, observing the Cathedral of the Intercession.
Of course, if you love painting, you too can add your easel, mixing you to the many creative people who love this place. Do you want to buy at a good price for something special? Fine. On Saturdays and Sundays this park welcomes vendors memory, and they await you to negotiate the price of a vintage camera, or that of a silver cup holders. Before you go home, you can go to the Bridge Ustinskij, rising above one of the vessels bursting over the Moskva River. Yes, it is a complementary experience – but extremely fascinating – to add to your travel memoirs, even the memory by the river of ancient buildings and churches, the hills of the Sparrows, the Gorky Park and the Kremlin.
