Walking Moscow’s History: Iconic Routes
Immersive guided routes that reveal the stories, characters, and secrets behind its most iconic streets and landmarks.

Stroll along Moscow’s grandest thoroughfare, where emperors once rode to the Kremlin and where, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, everything new, fashionable, and progressive first appeared. This walking tour uncovers the street’s fascinating layers: from its first settlers and the rise of its prestige, to scandalous affairs, architectural breakthroughs, and the curious tale of glass bricks. You’ll learn where the city’s first power station hummed into life, which hotel harbours furniture far older than itself, why an elite grocery store nearly closed before it could thrive, and where Muscovites once gathered to gauge public opinion on the day’s biggest events.
