One of the most worth visiting churches in Moscow | Cathedral of Christ the Saviour
✨When in Moscow, I didn't originally plan to go to the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. I was citywalking with a friend in Moscow, and as we walked along the Moscow River, we saw the golden onion domes. I checked and found out it was the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, an unexpected itinerary and gain!
✨The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour (Russian: Храм Христа Спасителя) is located on the banks of the Moscow River. It is the tallest Orthodox church in the world and one of the most magnificent churches in Moscow.
✨The church was ordered to be built by Tsar Alexander I. It was originally built to commemorate Russia's victory over Napoleon in the War of 1812, to thank the Saviour Christ for 'saving Russia from defeat and preventing her from being disgraced', and to commemorate the Russian people who sacrificed in the war.
✨The church has undergone several reconstructions and was finally preserved during the Soviet era and became famous. The church we see now was rebuilt in 1995. The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour is not only a religious holy place, but also records Russian history and culture.

Stunning night view of Moscow
As darkness falls, Moscow turns into a fascinating fabric of light and history. The historical architectures along the Moscow River create a visual feast.
However, it is not only the architecture that fascinates visitors; It is a vibrant energy in the streets. From crowded streets to cozy streets, Moscow's neighborhoods come alive after dark. Patriarch Pond and Arbat Street are one of the most famous places among them. I recommend you to witness the night view of Moscow as it offers a fascinating glimpse into the heart and soul of this extraordinary city.

Moscow suburbs at night.
In "An Evening in the Outskirts of Moscow"
There is a girl named "Kalinka".
She is "Across the River on the Far Bank".

Let's accompany the melody of music.
Let's step into this historic city together~
St. Basil's Cathedral is one of the most famous churches in Russia, known for its nine onion-shaped domes of different shapes and colors. The church was built in the late 16th century, and the exquisite architectural art is presented here vividly, with bright colors full of fairy tale colors.
The Moscow TV Tower, completed in 1967, stands at a height of 540 meters. There is an observation deck at 337 meters, where you can enjoy Russian cuisine while overlooking the entire view of Moscow.
The Moscow River runs through the entire city, and the name Moscow comes from it. During the navigation season, taking a yacht cruise on the Moscow River allows you to enjoy many famous attractions.

I heard this is one of the best ways to tour Moscow.
2023, the first time cruising on the Moscow River 🚢~
The Moscow River flows through the city of Moscow for about 80 kilometers, and taking a boat tour is a relaxing and romantic way to see most of the city's landmarks and architecture along both banks of the river.
The Russian Federation Government Building, Sparrow Hills, Moscow University, Gorky Park, the Kremlin, St. Basil's Cathedral, the Bronze Statue of Peter the Great, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, Luzhniki Stadium... As the river flows slowly downstream, the outline of the city of Moscow becomes clearer and clearer.
The duration of the boat trip varies from one hour to two and a half hours depending on the boat company, with costs ranging from a few hundred to over a thousand rubles. The more luxurious boats are like mobile restaurants where you can order food on board, with good taste and a romantic atmosphere.

Snowy Moscow, that's the scenery I want!
Snowy Moscow, the winter scenery I desire.
Moscow's winter is exceptionally beautiful, with fine snowflakes flying around, colorful buildings shining brightly or softly, and a thick festive atmosphere falling with the snowflakes on the streets and alleys.
"The city of outdoor urban activities" is a well-deserved title for Moscow. Even in the cold winter, people come out of their homes to enjoy the joy brought by winter, especially during the "Moscow Seasons - Christmas Journey" period.
Walk through Red Square, Zaryadye Park, Peter the Great's Navigators Monument, Gorky Park... The sparkling neon lights and the interweaving of vehicles always bring joy to people. The city's night flows with colorful lights along the Moscow River, and with a festive and ceremonial atmosphere~

To the south side of St. Basil’s church in Red Square there is the famous Moscow River.
During the winter, local sunset time in Moscow is from 4 to 5 in the evening. Walking along the river bank, immersed in the sunlight, a visitor can appreciate the beautiful scenery of both sides of the river.
The Moscow river surface becomes ice early, and the magnificent rays of the sun generate a clear and crystalline gleaming reflection of the waves
The water shimmers all over the river and the scenery of the river banks is gorgeous. From here the magnificent buildings of Moscow can be appreciated, making one carefree and relaxed.
A ride on a yacht roaming the Moscow river is a hard to come by enjoyment during sailing seasons. From a boat, the Sparrow Hills, the main building of Moscow University, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, the National History Museum, Culture Amusement Park, the Kremlin, and others.
