Explore the Sosenskoye area of Moscow with a collection of local guides and an interactive map. Located in the southwestern part of the capital's wider administrative territory, the area includes modern residential neighbourhoods, shopping facilities and developing transport connections. This page helps visitors find covered attractions, restaurants, hotels and nearby stations. Browse the available guides, compare locations on the map and plan journeys between places that interest you, particularly if you are staying outside central Moscow.
Sosenskoye is part of New Moscow, in the south-west of the city, well beyond the old centre. Our coverage here is limited to three metro stations on Line 1, which is how most visitors meet the area.
The list on this page shows those stations: Olkhovaya, Prokshino and Filatov Lug. No sights, restaurants or hotels are described here, so use the text below to understand what each station offers and when to travel. Metro hours differ by station and line, so check the operator's site for first and last train times.
What the three stations are like
Olkhovaya has a tree-inspired design, with cone-like tile edges and seed-shaped lights. It has a car park and bus links on Kaluzhskoye Shosse.
Prokshino is a surface station with a tall hall inspired by old railway stations and an above-ground crossing over the motorway.
Filatov Lug is an above-ground station in the middle of a highway, with a glass-and-metal hall, a granite platform and an overpass to both sides of the road.
All three are on the red Line 1. They stand beside major roads, so expect wind and traffic noise on the platforms and crossings, and take care in winter.
When to travel
The metro normally runs from early morning until around one at night. Mid-morning and early afternoon on weekdays are calmer, and late evening is quiet.
The morning and evening rush hours are the busiest, when platforms and crossings are crowded.
Because the stations are far from the centre, allow a longer journey on Line 1 and check the operator's site before a late return. If you plan to meet someone or stay in the area, confirm the nearest exit and the road crossing, since each station has overpasses or crossings over a major road.
