People traveled always and everywhere. Traveling around Russia with our tourists is often limited to several cities. One of them is Moscow, which attracts not only Russians, but also foreign guests from various countries. Moscow has a huge number of attractions that reflect the characteristics of Russian culture or modernity. One of such modern places that attract people is the business center of the capital Moscow-City. After reading the article, you will find out what Moscow City is, the metro that is closest to you, how to get there and what's interesting there, except for the skyscrapers themselves.
"Moscow City"
Moscow City is a Moscow international business center located on Presnenskaya embankment in Krasnopresnensky district in the center of Moscow. The center is not yet completed. It is planned to complete everything in 2019, but there are plans for further development. In total, about 20 buildings have already been built, and about 40 are planned at 21 project sites. One of the skyscrapers is the highest complex in Europe: the height of the Federation tower is 374 meters, which is several tens of meters higher than the Eiffel Tower. At the moment, more than ten complexes have been built, which include various buildings, several of which are still being finished.
How to get to the skyscrapers
You can get to the Moscow City complex both by car and by metro. Near the business center there is a large multi-level transport interchange, from which the navigator will point you to the exit. It can also be easily found on the map yourself. But there are problems with parking spaces in the center: they are either paid or not. Therefore, we advise you to get there by metro or leave the car outside the business center. Fortunately, the Bagration equipped pedestrian bridge leads to the territory .
Also, skyscrapers can be reached by public land transport to the stop "Derbenevskaya". Buses and minibuses come here from the nearest areas or from metro stations quite often, so getting there is not so difficult.
Next, we will tell you which stations are near Moscow-City (metro, railway) and how to get to the business center of the capital from them.
Metro station "International"
To get somewhere in the capital to a disoriented person will help the metro map of Moscow. Moscow-City is surrounded by several stations at once. One of them is International. The station is one of the terminal on the Filevskaya metro line and is located in close proximity to one of the Moscow-City complexes. Mezhdunarodnaya metro station was opened in 2006, when the construction of the business center was just beginning and the previous station of this branch, Vystavochnaya, was opened. There is one feature on it - the eastern end of the platform is curved, which is quite rare, because usually the platforms are straight.
Vystavochnaya metro station
It is located on a branch of the Filevskaya line of the Moscow metro. Opened in 2005, it was originally called the "Business Center", and in 2008 it was renamed "Exhibition" due to the nearby building of the Expocenter as part of the Moscow City Center. The metro next to the exhibition center also caused a high flow of tourists to these places. The expocenter constantly hosts various exhibitions at its sites, which attracts residents and visitors to the capital. The exit from the station rests directly on the Expocenter, so you won’t get lost here.
Metro station "Business Center"
There are many ways, as you already understood, to get to Moscow City. Metro "Business Center", or rather one of its exits, is located right in the center of the constructed complex of skyscrapers. The station was opened recently - on January 31, 2014, as well as the entire line consisting of 2 stations - "Business Center" and "Victory Park". Both are interchange and will subsequently be part of the Third interchange circuit.
A western exit has also been made that leads to the AfiMall shopping center. The station itself looks very modern, its decoration with gray mirror marble and cold light make it quite beautiful.
In general, when they ask the question "What subway, where is Moscow City?" - The first thing that Muscovites are responding to last year is the Business Center. And how it is more convenient to get to the skyscrapers for you, choose for yourself. It all depends on which area of the city you are coming from, because most likely you will have to make transfers anyway, but it is better to do one than 10.
Where can I go in the complex "Moscow City"
Many tourists come here just for a walk and take pictures among the skyscrapers. But here, too, there is where to go.
If you want to learn more about the history of the business center and visit the tallest buildings, you can sign up for excursions that are regularly held on the territory of the Moscow City complex. The metro is therefore awash with tourists at any time of the year. An experienced guide will tell you about the buildings, guide them and show the highest viewing platform here at an altitude of 230 m, from which you can see all of Moscow. If you visit the survey sites in private, then you must first find out the time, cost of visiting and the possibility of an individual visit on a particular day.
The buildings also have a large number of restaurants with different final receipts (from the middle segment to the luxury). One of the most expensive but popular establishments is Moscow City. The restaurant is located on the 62nd floor of one of the skyscrapers with panoramic windows. Sitting at the table, you can enjoy delicious dishes and admire Moscow. There are medical, family entertainment and fitness centers, a cinema. You can also find several museums and shops, and even bike rental for people who respect an active lifestyle.
