Moscow is made up of areas with different histories, architecture, green spaces and everyday character. Our Neighborhoods section helps you explore these differences and decide which parts of the city you would like to discover during your trip. Read about Sokolniki, Izmailovo, Khitrovka or VDNH and Ostankino to get started. The articles cover individual districts, local areas and notable urban locations, rather than only official administrative neighbourhoods. Browse according to your interests, then combine nearby places into a walk or a wider sightseeing plan using transport information where needed.
