In order to get to the observation deck located in the Vorobyovy Gory reserve, you must at least be in Moscow. However, it often happens that not only guests of the capital, but also Muscovites themselves find it difficult to determine on the fly how to get to a particular area of the metropolis.
Instructions
Step 1
Contact one of the many taxi services and tell the dispatcher that you would like to get to Vorobyovy Gory. Unfortunately, you are unlikely to be able to get to the observation deck itself, since the passage of personal vehicles along Kosygin Street, leading to the highest point in Moscow, was recently prohibited. Traffic is also closed on the section of Andreevskaya embankment, from which it was previously possible to freely drive to the site. So you have to walk a little after the taxi ride.
Step 2
Take the metro and go to Okhotny Ryad station. Near this station there is Red Square and GUM, from the parking lot near which sightseeing buses are constantly leaving. The program of almost all excursions also includes a visit to the observation deck, to which you will also have to walk a little, enjoying the cleanest air in the capital. Similar excursions are organized from other central districts of Moscow (for example, from Kalanchevskaya square, the so-called "square of three stations", metro station "Komsomolskaya").
Step 3
Go down the metro to the train to the Vorobyovy Gory station. You will also have to walk a little, and uphill, but the wonderful view from the platform literally hovering over the city is well worth it.
Step 4
If you feel vigorous and full of energy, then you can climb to the observation deck directly from the Moskva River, from the embankment or the pier of river transport. A ride on a river tram is quite inexpensive, and, in addition, you can enjoy wonderful views of the capital from the board of the motor ship during your trip. Get off at the pier you need and start climbing: first along the steps, and then along the paths, however, quite well-groomed. If you decide that you cannot afford to conquer the Sparrow Hills on foot, take a funicular ride right to the observation deck.
Step 5
Use land-based public transport to get to Vorobyovy Gory. So, from the metro station "Universitet" to Vorobyovy Gory can be reached by bus number 661 (stop "DK MGU"). In addition, you can use the following public transport routes:
- buses No. 113, 119 or 1 (to the stop "DK MGU"), 57, 111 (to the stop "Main building of Moscow State University");
- trolleybus No. 7 (the route passes by metro stations: "Kievskaya", "Oktyabrskaya", "Leninsky Prospekt");
- trams №№ 14, 26, 39 (to the stop "m." University ").
