Moscow Sights

As you move out from the center of Moscow you'll encounter historic neighborhoods no longer known by their names, but referred to by main streets or the nearest metro stations. Northeast of the Kremlin-Red Square area is Kitai Gorod, the historic center of the city, rich with palaces and churches. North of the Kremlin is Bely Gorod, or the White City, named after the white-stone ramparts that encircled the area in the 16th century. This neighborhood runs in a semicircle between Kitai Gorod and the Boulevard Ring north of the Moskva River (approximately between the Pushkin Museum of Fine Art and the Yauza River to the east). Bely Gorod includes the first half of Tverskaya ulitsa, Moscow's main shopping street; Kuznetsky Most, a street famous for its designer shops and the sights around the Tchaikovsky Conservatory on Bolshaya Nikitskaya.
