Have you already visited all the well-known monuments, museum and cafes with restaurants? Throw away the guide! We offer you a list of 15 new and cool places in Moscow that are absent from the pages of many ordinary travel guides. Here is the luxury of the interior of Eliseev's department store, the creepy monument in Bolotny Square and a dozen other bright and unforgettable places that allow you to get to know another Moscow.
House of Bulgakov
There is Bulgakov's guide to Moscow. In addition to ponds, a tram stop where oil spilled, and a black cat in a museum-apartment, there is also a house on Spiridonovka where the main character of the legendary novel lived with her unhappy husband. The house was originally built for private needs by the pre-revolutionary millionaire Savva Morozov, but now instead of the descendants of the eccentric wealthy, the building is used by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for presentations and receptions.
Sanduny
Everyone has seen the Soviet film "The Master and Margarita": marble, granite, gilding and bronze - the spaciousness and luxury of the local baths cannot be compared with the modest tiles of an average regional bathhouse. The color of Russian culture rested in Sandunovskiye baths, and then this place was chosen by the brothers. Fortunately, the soldiers and officers of the criminal wars killed each other in the streets, and the generals gained respectability: you can rest as much as you like, if you had money.
Bunker 703
Previously, this place housed a secret special storage facility of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in which documents with various stamps of importance and secrecy were kept in special conditions. Now on the site of the special facility there is a museum and a theater, a cultural space for urban youth.
Eliseev's department store
This place is not visited for sales and discounts, but to gaze at the luxury of neo-baroque interiors, numerous halls, crystal chandeliers, gilded statues and arches, shelves and counters made of mahogany - a rare variety of mahogany. Reconstruction at the beginning of the 2000s made it possible, according to the available documents, to fully recreate the internal view in the original state of the times of the millionaire Grishka Eliseev.
Bridge to Marshal Zhukov
Also called Picturesque. A kitsch egg suspended on cable-stayed supports at a height of fifty meters is the best monument to Yuri Luzhkov's architectural exercises. From the observation deck, which is still closed to tourists, you can see the Moskva River and Serebryany Bor. The shape of the egg also resembles a flying saucer. If they open it, you will not regret it.
Children are victims of adult vices
The monument was presented to the city by the author - sculptor Mikhail Shemyakin. The sculpture consists of 15 figures: two small children in the center, surrounded by a damn dozen well-known vices with fish and animal heads - from sadism and trafficking in a human body to indifference and cruelty. If you don't think about it, it will definitely make you flinch.
Perlov House
The house on Myasnitskaya, 19 was built for the tea merchant, merchant headman Sergei Perlov. He was a successful merchant, so he got down to business thoroughly. The building is richly decorated outside and inside with dragons, snakes, umbrellas and Chinese traditional lanterns. Inside there are vases, showcases and all the same lanterns, a riot of red, blue and gold.
Coca-Cola Museum
Four halls are located on one hundred squares of the square, allowing everyone to explore the past and present of the world famous soda. From Jacob's pharmacy, where the drink first went on sale, to a miniature replica of a Moscow-based plant with workshops, production lines, microscopic machines for finished products and meticulous carbon footprint and water savings. Plus - a kind of cola advertising museum. Of course, there is also a souvenir shop.
Pool "Seagull"
Swimming in the open air in winter is an incomparable feeling. The water is warm, and the steam swirling over the water reminds of geysers and just a little about a fairy tale. This place was built and opened in preparation for the 1957 Youth and Student Festival. He survived two restorations - in 1980, in preparation for the Olympic Games, and in 2008.
Flat house
If you look at this building from a certain angle, it seems that it is a decoration - the only front wall with windows sticking out in it, and there are no internal structures in sight. This is not the only building of this type, but the most famous in the Russian capital. It is worth going around it to make sure that the building is voluminous and has nothing to do with the worlds of Terry Pratchett.
Museum of Russian Impressionism
This object is located in an industrial building that has undergone restoration at the end of the 19th century. The spacious and light rooms favorably distinguish the canvases of the great Russian artists, allowing to the greatest extent to feel and appreciate the emotions experienced by the authors while working on them. On top of that, exhibitions, lectures and master classes are held here.
Apple Museum
The real apple museum is located in the city of Michurinsk in the Kursk region, and in our case we are talking about the museum of technical products from Apple. The museum is definitely worth a visit - the exposition contains the entire line of Makovsky products: from the first personal computer named Lisa to the latest models of cell phones.
Of course, modern items and numerous merchandise are available for purchase.
Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Gothic fans are obliged to see the largest cathedral for Christians of the Catholic confession on Russian soil. Made in the neo-Gothic style, the arrow-shaped stained glass windows are beautiful and remind of God. Services are held in different languages, and concerts are also frequent, during which an organ plays under the vaults of the church.
Eiffel Tower
Moscow has its own, even though we don't have Paris here. A copy, of course. Smaller than the real one, only six meters, but accurate and detailed. To take spectacular selfies, you need to arrange an excursion with the administration department of the Moskabelmet factory. You can be content with photos from behind the fence, but that's not it.
Japanese courtyard
If the tea house is a part of China, then we are talking about the country of the Rising Sun. The courtyard adjoins the Pan-Asian bar "Tabarasika". Narrow like a pencil case, the courtyard is decorated with lanterns that light up in the evening and burn until sunrise. Guests can walk here, it is a popular venue for themed photo shoots.
