The ability to constantly change is one of the most fascinating features of Moscow. It can happen so quickly that it is difficult to believe in the reality of what is happening. As soon as the hectic day subsides and the night comes into its own, Moscow suddenly becomes quiet, festive, mysterious, alluring.

The predecessor was floated downstream, installed between Frunzenskaya and Pushkinskaya embankments, renamed Pushkinsky and made pedestrian. But for many Muscovites, it remained St. Andrew's (this name is indicated on the plaque). The bridge offers amazing views of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior and the Kremlin. Creative youth gather here, and wedding videotapes are often held. Tourists love to photograph the bridge in the glow of night lights.

It is located at an altitude of about 80 meters above the level of the Moskva River, and from here you can see the entire center of Moscow: the Stalinist skyscrapers, the distant turrets of the Kremlin, the sparkling Moscow City complex, and the golden domes of numerous churches.… At night, this place is perhaps even more lively than during the day: bikers, street racers, newlyweds and just lovers of walking around the city relax side by side.

High-rise building on Kotelnicheskaya embankment
This is one of the most beautiful Stalin skyscrapers. By day, the 32-storey multi-tiered building with spires, graceful towers, tent arrangements and arches looks like a giant birthday cake. At night, in the light of architectural and artistic illumination, the grandeur, monumentality, and mesmerizing beauty of a large-scale spectacle come to the fore.

Moscow City
Several skyscrapers that have grown up in the center of Moscow in the last twenty years cause conflicting feelings among citizens: many believe that modern architecture only spoils the appearance of the old city. Nevertheless, in the dark, when elegant skyscrapers light up with thousands of lights, it becomes difficult to doubt their beauty even for the most recent skeptics! The most beautiful views of the sparkling towers of the complex are from the Taras Shevchenko Embankment and the Bagration pedestrian Bridge.

Government House of the Russian Federation
The monumental building, lined with white marble, has been decorating Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment since 1979 and has already become one of the most recognizable outside Moscow. An expressive example of Soviet modernism with a height of 102 m. It is an architectural complex consisting of three parts: a pedestal, the first and second tiers. The administrative building fits seamlessly into the architectural appearance of the center of Moscow, and with the onset of dusk it becomes an expressive decoration of the city.

Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary
The most beautiful Roman Catholic church in Russia is located on Malaya Gruzinskaya Street. The masterpiece of Gothic architecture was consecrated in 1911. The cathedral in Westminster served as a model for the author of the project, Thomas Iosifovich Bogdanovich-Dvorzhetsky. The arches and turrets pointing to the sky, the pointed stained-glass windows also relate the masterpiece to the monuments of the temple architecture of the Italian Middle Ages. Services in different languages are held in the cathedral, and concerts are held. At night, the temple shines with orange lights of artistic illumination. The mystical charm can be enhanced by organ sounds and singing.

VDNKH
A favorite walking spot for guests and residents of Moscow is always open to the public. At night, pavilions, fountains and many other objects light up with bright lights. A special illumination system has been developed for each landmark. For example, the backlight for the Druzhba Narodov fountain changes its hue every 10-25 minutes. You can admire the shining installations until dawn, or choose another activity – join the tour, go to the ice rink or sports ground, look into the pavilion open to visitors.
ADDRESS: ave. 119 Mira Street (VDNKh metro station)
Ostankino TV Tower
In October 2014, for the Circle of Light festival, large LED screens with a total area of 3,753 square meters were installed on two segments of the Ostankino TV Tower. One occupied a space from 83 to 128 m above ground, the second at a level of 146-192 m. After the end of the festival, the innovation became another attraction of the TV tower. The screens organically complemented the architectural lighting system and made the night image of the tower even more expressive. The displays are also used as holiday illumination, for advertising purposes. In any case, it's a spectacular night sight.
ADDRESS: Akademika Koroleva str., 15, building 1 (Butyrskaya metro station)
Rostokinsky Aqueduct
The elegant arched bridge made of white stone is a memory of the most grandiose gravity water supply in Russia in Mytishchi. He served his purpose from 1784 until the end of the 19th century. In Soviet times, it was part of the heating main. In 2006-2008, the monument was restored, decorated with a decorative roof and opened for hiking. Since 2013, it has become one of the attractions of Sokolniki Park. The bridge offers a wonderful view of the Yauza River, the picturesque wilds of a popular recreation area. At night, all this sparkles and shimmers with the lights of artistic illumination.
ADDRESS: ave. Mira, 186-188 (VDNKh metro station)
Krutitsky patriarchal compound
The Christian monument, which traces its history back to the 13th century, is a valuable landmark of the Tagansky district. The miraculously preserved and beautifully restored island of medieval Moscow attracts attention with the bizarre outlines of buildings, the beauty of decoration and brickwork, and cobblestone pavements. The Krutitsky Episcopal house has repeatedly become a film set (films "War and Peace", "Midshipmen, forward!", "Secrets of Palace coups"). At night, in the glow of artistic lighting, the fascinating details are even more impressive than during the day.
ADDRESS: Krutitskaya St., 8 (metro station Proletarskaya)
Kuskovo Estate Museum
The estate, which belonged to the ancient Sheremetev family from the end of the 16th century to the beginning of the 19th century, was compared to the residence of the French kings of Versailles during its heyday. The manor is still one of the most admirable architectural monuments in Moscow. The magical image of the palace and park ensemble is formed by architectural masterpieces and incredibly beautiful natural surroundings. Ponds reflecting elegant buildings are an integral part of the luxurious composition. As it was several centuries ago, the manor museum often shines with the lights of evening concerts and productions, illuminated by fireworks.

Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve
The territory of the 18th-century landscape museum-reserve with an area of 700 hectares includes several palaces in the Russian Gothic style, elegant buildings for various purposes, a cascade of ponds, a greenhouse complex, and a landscape park. Every year, Tsaritsyno becomes a venue for concerts, festivals, and organ music evenings. The artistic lighting creates a sense of constant celebration.

ADDRESS: Dolskaya St., 1 (metro station Tsaritsyno)
Moscow International House of Music
An unexpected architectural solution was chosen for the largest philharmonic complex in Russia. In 2002, a cylindrical building with ten floors appeared on Kosmodamianskaya Embankment (the three lower ones form a stylobate) with glass walls and a dome. The finishing touch is a shining gold weather vane with a height of 9.5 m. in the form of an emblem with a treble clef (the work of Zurab Tsereteli). An expressive example of modern architecture has become a visual landmark of the urban area, the night glow of the House of Music can be admired from different points of Moscow.

Riverside Towers (business center) and the Swissotel Krasnye Hills Hotel
In 1996-2009, the Krasnye Hills cultural and business center was built on Kosmodamianskaya Embankment. The architectural complex combines three colorful buildings that have become the visual dominant of the urban area. The Swissotel Krasnye Hills Hotel, the Riverside Towers business center and the House of Music have become symbols of the unity of entrepreneurship and culture. The way the idea is implemented is similar to the Novospassky Monastery, which stands on the other shore. Riverside Towers looks like a medieval city, the 34-storey hotel plays the role of a bell tower, the House of Music can be compared to a cathedral.
ADDRESS: Kosmodamianskaya Embankment, 52, building 6 (Paveletskaya metro station)
Scenic Bridge
The tallest bridge in Europe enjoys great attention at any time of the day. The 105-meter-high red arch with a glass capsule in the form of a flying saucer (observation deck) between the Krylatsky Hills and the Silver Forest is visible from the most remote points of the city. Up close, the structure, located not across, but along the river, looks even more impressive. In the evening, the shrouds and pylons light up with red lights.
ADDRESS: ave. Marshal Zhukov (metro station Krylatskoye)
Church of the Trinity in Orekhovo-Borisov
The project of a new religious building in honor of the 1000th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus was conceived in 1988. As a result, the southern district of Moscow decorated the Trinity Church in 2004. If the building had been built at the time of the baptism, its appearance could have been the same. The authors of the project chose the Byzantine style, which dominated Orthodox church architecture in those distant centuries. The complex is crowned by blue domes (a symbol of purity and purity accompanying the image of the Virgin). The beauty of the temple is accentuated by the lush green surroundings and well-maintained pedestrian zone.
ADDRESS: Kashirskoe shosse, 61A (Domodedovo metro station)
Church of the Holy Trinity in Ostankino
An unusually picturesque temple is a monument of Russian embroidery. The iconic architectural style of the 17th century is characterized by intricate outlines, complex compositions, and an abundance of expressive decorative elements. The design of the temple is distinguished by its special splendor and variety of architectural solutions, while maintaining harmony and a sense of proportion. The decorative sophistication is combined with the simple geometry of the church plan. All these details remain behind the scenes when the beautiful silhouette of the building, illuminated by the festive glow of the backlight, appears in front of the eyes.
address: 1st Ostankinskaya St., 7, building 2 (VDNKh metro station)
Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Altufiev
Holy Cross Church is one of the surviving buildings of the Altufevo estate, a monument of the 17th century. The elegant white and red building belongs to a rare type of religious buildings "like the bells", when the ringing tier is located directly above the temple. This tradition took root in the XV century only on the territory of Russia. The Moscow Baroque style demonstrates the transition from the techniques of Russian architecture to European architectural fashion. The beautiful park and picturesque pond are surprisingly consonant with the elegant image of the temple.
ADDRESS: Altufevskoe shosse, 147, p. 1 (metro station Altufevo)
Moscow is such a diverse and interesting city that even nights should be devoted to getting to know it. The experience of walking through the sleeping streets will surpass the most vivid dreams. Renowned designers worked on the decoration of the capital at night, their work deserves attention.
Poklonnaya Gora
Victory Park on Poklonnaya Gora is a spacious and well—maintained place. During the day, Poklonnaya Gora is filled with skaters, roller skaters and other extreme sports enthusiasts, and after dark it turns into a popular place for romantic dates: fountains, beautiful flower beds and, of course, flower clocks, which can be guided even at night — they are illuminated. But the most remarkable feature of Poklonnaya Gora at night, for which people from all over the city come here after dark, is, of course, the fountains: at night they turn on red lights, symbolizing the blood shed by fighters for the Motherland during the Second World War. The amazing view is complemented by the golden glow of the Stele and the Victory Museum in the background: very beautiful and bright!
Kremlin embankment
A great place to admire the capital's number 1 landmark: the Moscow Kremlin. The Southern Wall of the Kremlin with its numerous towers is visible along the entire embankment; Red Square and Vasilyevsky Descent are also visible from here.

Kosmodamianskaya embankment
In the vicinity of Paveletsky railway Station, life is in full swing around the clock: people come from all over the country, who are greeted by a complex of three architectural masterpieces sparkling elegantly at night: the buildings of the Krasnye Holmy Hotel, the Riverside Towers business center and the House of Music. The Moscow International House of Music is the largest Russian philharmonic society. The halls are located in a ten-storey building in the shape of a glass cylinder with a huge dome and two underground floors. A golden weather vane shines at the top, towering almost 10 meters. The sketch for the MMDM corporate logo was created by Zurab Tsereteli. The House of Music is extremely beautiful and unlike any other building in Moscow. At night, the light from the elegant illumination illuminates everything around and creates a festive mood.
Interesting facts
- The Moscow House of Music opened on December 26, 2002.

Masterpieces of Stalinist architecture are located on the left bank of the Moskva River opposite Gorky Park and Neskuchny Garden. Ceremonial houses, clean and well-groomed alleys, a series of bright lanterns reflected in the water surface of the Moskva River – all this can be seen on one of the most beautiful and elite embankments of the capital. Walking along the riverbank at night is especially wonderful. Monumental bridges and passing motor ships with vacationing citizens glow with bright lights, cheer up and make the atmosphere very romantic.

Life in this city is in full swing around the clock, so there will be no problems with choosing beautiful and romantic places. Some tourists prefer night walks to daytime walks, because at this time the streets are less crowded.
The Old Arbat
The word "arbat" has long been a household word. This is the name given to any pedestrian tourist streets in major cities.
The Old Arbat is one of the main tourist spots of the capital.
A separate list of local attractions can be prepared for the Old Arbat. There is a center here, built on a vacant lot after the fall of an aerial bomb during the Second World War. Opposite it is the Prague restaurant, which was visited by Sergey Yesenin, Alexander Blok and other celebrities. On the Old Arbat you can see a portrait of Zhukov, the theater named after him.

Izmailovsky Park at the main entrance
You can get to Izmailovsky Park at night and take a walk there if you are not afraid of the atmosphere of the dark forest. The silence here is interrupted only by the quacking of ducks and the noise of insects. With sudden temperature fluctuations, fog rises, and the rays of light from the lanterns become almost tangible. A river murmurs nearby, and all the skyscrapers are covered with lush oaks. For a few seconds, you can even forget that this is Moscow. If you don't like night walks in the park, then you can limit yourself to the view from afar from the main entrance.
Izmailovsky Park is one of the largest in Moscow.
Sokolniki Park
Sokolniki Park is the next scenic spot worth visiting at night. There are bars, exhibitions, a running club, a trampoline arena, attractions, etc., but they do not work at night. At night, you can take a quiet walk here and admire the natural scenery, enjoy the peace.
Sokolniki Park is a picturesque place.
Lovers of monuments and beautiful places should visit the Money Garden, Golden Pond, Kinopolana and the observatory.
Hermitage Garden
The Hermitage Garden is open around the clock. It is a living monument of landscape art. The Hermitage is considered one of the first amusement gardens in Moscow. This is a popular vacation spot for celebrities. Meetings, premieres of plays, performances by illusionists, magicians, etc. are held here. Monument lovers can explore lanterns with monograms and busts of Hugo, Tchaikovsky, Glinka and Dante Alighieri. To complete the experience, I recommend visiting the garden twice: day and night.
The Hermitage Garden is a monument of landscape art.
Along the embankment near Moscow City
The Moscow City Center is located on Presnenskaya Embankment, which was first mentioned in documents of the 19th century. The embankment got its name from the village of Presnya, located near the river of the same name. There are no ancient architectural monuments here, but you can admire the architectural complex "Moscow City". It consists of large skyscrapers designed in a futuristic style. I strongly recommend taking a camera with you before traveling.
Moscow City is located on Presnenskaya Embankment.
Vorobyovy Gory and Neskuchny Sad
Vorobyovy Gory is the highest of the 7 hills on which the capital is located. There is a good view of the city from here. A lot of films have been shot here.
