Moscow is a huge city with many areas, streets, squares. The article will provide reference and useful information about such a place as Taganskaya Square. After all, many motorways, pedestrian crossings, and streets are united here. Taganka is a prestigious area of the city with its pros and cons.
What is it like?
If you look at the map of Moscow, you can see that the Tagansky district is located in the Central District. Two kilometers from Taganskaya Square is the Kremlin. The area itself, despite the terrible ecology, lots of cars, paid parking and the lack of cheap grocery stores, is prestigious. Many Muscovites dream of living here. But let's not talk about that. What is Taganskaya square? The photo that you see in the article illustrates not only the road, but also the famous red building of the Taganka Theater. The shopping center "Zvezdochka" in the Soviet years attracted the attention of not only citizens, but also guests of the capital.
If you stand on the "island" of the square, you can see:
- the building of the metro station "Taganskaya" (Ring);
- the building of the Taganka Theater;
- Earth Shaft (Garden Ring);
- shopping center "Zvezdochka";
- shopping center "Taganka";
- lilac houses (17-storey residential buildings following each other between Taganskaya and Marxistskaya streets) and, if desired, much more.
Above was a brief overview of one of the areas of the capital.
By car or public transport?
Let's figure out where is Taganskaya Square? Metro, as mentioned earlier, is Taganskaya (Koltsevaya) or Marxist. Once in the city, you will immediately get to where you need to. It remains only to solve the question: "Where do you need it specifically?"
Trolleybuses No. 26 and No. 27 go along Volgogradsky Prospekt, having stops on Marxist Street and Taganskaya Square (trolleybus No. 27). From the side of Taganskaya Street, as well as Nizhny Novgorod and Ryazan Avenue, there are minibuses, trolleybuses and buses (numbers: 63, 16, 56 and others).
Trolleybus B runs along the garden ring, but there are no stops on Taganskaya Square itself, you can only admire the views from the window.
If you go by car, then you can get to Taganskaya Square from the side of such objects as:
- People's street;
- Big Masons;
- Marxist street;
- Taganskaya street;
- Solzhenitsyn Street;
- Vorontsovskaya street;
- Earthen rampart (Garden Ring).
It should be remembered by motorists that Taganskaya Square (Moscow) is a very complex transportation hub. It is recommended that beginners use the navigator and be careful, observe signs and signs.
How to get to the Matronushka?
Very, very often you will meet people with flowers. It is safe to say that they are following to the Intercession Monastery. Maybe that's why Taganka is so popular?
Unfortunately, fans of Matronushka constantly go in the wrong direction. If you decide to go to Pokrovsky Monastery for the first time, carefully read the following few sentences.
No matter how you come by metro (Taganskaya or Marxistskaya), focus on a seventeen-story lilac house. To his left is Taganskaya Street. Follow it always directly (on foot go to whom 10 minutes, to whom 30). If it’s hard, you can drive two stops by bus, trolley or minibus. The stop has a corresponding name. The red walls and the plate with the house number 58 - this is the Pokrovsky monastery.
Don’t go down Solzhenitsyn Street, you won’t get to the Matronushka there. But then there is the Temple of St. Martin, in which there is a dress of the saint and a piece of her relics.
Medsentrud Hospital
Taganskaya Square is the path to City Clinical Hospital No. 23 (named after Medsantrud). The landmark will be the lobby of the Taganskaya station and the red theater building. Between them there is a street down (Verkhnyaya Radishchevskaya). It is through it that you can get to one of the largest clinical hospitals in Moscow.
Moscow watch factory
On Marksistskaya Street, not far from Taganskaya Square, there is the famous Polet watch factory. Only watches of this company can be purchased in the salon on Vorontsovskaya street, 35B, box. 3.
If you stand on Taganskaya Square, you can see that another one leaves from Marxist Street to the right - this is Vorontsovskaya. So, in principle, everything is nearby. It’s not necessary to go far.
Parks of the area
If you go to the Matronushka, you will see Pryamikov children's park on the left, and Tagansky park on the right. He is not visible from the road. Both parks are almost the only green corners of the area where you can relax, go rollerblading, and run around the stadium.
In the park Pryamikova there is a children's puppet theater, sports facilities. In summer, as a rule, children can jump on a trampoline.
Great landmark
In conclusion, we add that Taganskaya Square is the periphery between roads and stations. It is from here that you can walk to the Kursk Station on Zemlyanoy Val down. If you go in the opposite direction, then the Big Krasnokholmsky bridge across the Moscow River will lead to the Paveletsky station. Simply put, the guideline is this: if you look at the lobby building of the Taganskaya station, then the directions are:
- to the left - Paveletsky station;
- to the right is Kursky.
In general, Taganskaya Square helps to get to one or another street, to other areas, to go to the Moscow Ring Road. The only negative: it’s very difficult to navigate, a large flow of cars, many traffic lights and poorly understood signs. Therefore, recall, follow the navigator and listen to his recommendations scrupulously.
