The autumn school holidays are an ideal time to visit major museums and sights of the capital, for which it is problematic to find time for other days. How best to plan a whole week of vacation - in our itinerary.
Day 1. Zoo and planetarium
On the first day go to zoo, one of the oldest in Europe. It was opened in 1864 by the Imperial Russian Society for the Acclimatization of Animals and Plants and was then called the Zoo. Now more than a thousand species of animals live here.
Plan a few hours to visit the zoo. It is better to plan a visit in the morning: this way you will be able to avoid crowds at the enclosures - and the children will be able to better see the zoo guests.
Before going to the zoo, be sure to check the feeding schedule on the official website moscowzoo.ru. So you can definitely see animals that often hide in secluded places during the daytime. Indeed, in nature, the main activity of most animals falls on twilight - morning and evening. During demonstration feedings, the animals are most active, so young visitors will have more chances to watch them. In addition, during feedings, zoo staff talk about the characteristics of a particular animal.
For lunch after a tiring journey through the animal world of different continents, go to Italian restaurant Bella Pasta(Krasnaya Presnya, 6/2, building 1).
Spend the afternoon hiking in planetarium located near the zoo. It will be interesting for both junior schoolchildren and high school students: the exposition in this scientific complex is arranged in such a way that everyone will find something to their liking. After observing meteorites, launching a hydrogen-powered rocket and sending a message to aliens, look into the Great Hall of Stars, where you can see the stars on the largest dome in Europe.
Day 2. Moscow Kremlin
Dedicate the second day of vacation to the main Moscow attraction - Kremlin. Walk along the Cathedral Square, visit the Armory. Tickets should be bought in advance: their number is limited - and they run out quickly. Tickets are sold strictly for a certain time, so do not be late.
