Audio tourMoscow. River trip

A trip along the Moskva river by boat or water taxi was limited by the seasons just a decade ago. City residents and tourists alike used to wait for river trips to begin again in April, and enjoyed the views of the city from the water almost right up until the first frost. Now it is possible to enjoy a cruise along the capital's main river all year round. The most popular route runs from the building of the former 'Ukraina' hotel to Kotelnicheskaya Embankment.
