Gorky Park

Gorky Park is Moscow's most famous park, built during the Soviet era as a hub for relaxation and cultural activities. Muscovites and tourists alike enjoy strolling through the park in all seasons, enjoying sports, admiring the park's attractions, and attending cultural events. Gorky Park is the centerpiece of a group of four green spaces - Muzeon Park of Arts, Neskuchny Garden, and Sparrow Hills Nature Reserve—that wraps around the Moskva River's southern bank to the south-west of Moscow's city center. During your Moscow vacation, you can spend some time here and enjoy nature and contemporary art.

Gorky Park, located directly across the Moskva River and named after the famous Russian writer Maxim Gorky (who was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature five times but never won it), spans 120 hectares of beautiful ponds and green spaces. The park, which is popular with both locals and tourists, provides a variety of amenities, including sunbeds, hammocks, and drinking fountains, as well as free yoga classes and children's playgrounds. There are free Wi-Fi and phone charging stations, as well as a variety of food stands and wild animals such as deer, rabbits, and pheasants.

Visitors can explore the park by renting paddleboats and bicycles, and from May to October, there is also an open-air movie theater, as well as scheduled performances by street performers, musicians, and artists. Gorky Park draws both young and old people, so expect to see a mix of people exercising, playing chess, and sunbathing.
