Kolomenskoye

Kolomenskoye is now a lovely park spread across 390 hectares of land in the city's south. The Kolomenskoye Estate contains 19 cultural and historical monuments, eleven of which are of federal significance and several of which are UNESCO-listed. Tsar Alexei Romanov, the second Romanov dynasty to rule Russia, and father of Tsar Peter the Great, who spent his youth there, built the estate.

This region, which was once the Moscow country estate of Russia's tzars, is now incorporated into Moscow. Ivan the Terrible, the first Russian tzar, was born here, and during the reigns of subsequent tzars and emperors, Kolomenskoye grew into a full-fledged estate.

The natural landscape (the Moscow River village), picturesque views, and traditional Russian architecture (mostly medieval) - a walk around Kolomenskoye will broaden your perspective on Moscow. You can walk along the river, visit the museum, listen to the bell ring, try traditional bagel-like rolls and mead, have a picnic in the summer, and go ice skating in the winter. This is one the best places to visit in Moscow.
