Moscow Sightseeing
Sightseeing Overview

Many attractions are southwest of the Kremlin, along the river, including Gorky Park, the pedestrianised boulevard of ulitsa Arbat and the parklands surrounding the Luzhniki Stadium and Moscow State University. It is worth noting that most museums are closed on Monday.
