Chinatown

During the tour, we learn that the whole area of Moscow was called Kitay-City not because the Chinese settled here. We will find out why Elena Glinskaya, the mother of Ivan the Terrible, ordered to lay walls of such thickness. From Lubyanskaya Square, admiring the buildings of the FSB and the Children’s World, we will head to the Theatre Passage. We will see the Trinity Church in the Fields and the Monument to Ivan Fedorov, the famous Metropol Hotel and the Bolshoi Theatre. Through the Tretyakov Gate we will get to Nikolskaya Street, we will see the Slavyansky Bazaar Hotel, Gosudarev Printing Yard and Zaikonospasssky Monastery. We will also see the main temple of the Epiphany Monastery, built in the Baroque style - the Epiphany Cathedral, before which in 2007 a monument to the enlighteners of the Lihuds was erected. On the Exchange Square we will see the building of the Moscow Exchange, made in the style of late eclecticism by the architect Kaminsky. Next, we will walk along the "main avenue of Moscow City" - Neglinnaya Street, go to the Gostiny Dvor. We will visit Crystalny Lane, and from there to Varvarka Street, the most ancient and prestigious street in Moscow. If you were not interested in the history of Moscow, then you may not even know such a street, but it is there that an almost untouched corner of old Moscow has been preserved.
"I walked Varvarkoi Street with a familiar cook, I wrapped up in a curtain for Sunday, ordered a seagull two pairs for myself and for the cook." On Varvarka Street we will see many beautiful temples, which are architectural monuments of national importance and are included in the UNESCO list.
