Building began in the 1990s on old industrial land by the Moskva River to create a new business centre. Over 20 years a cluster of glass towers rose, changing the Moscow skyline.
The Federation Tower East, at 374 metres, is the tallest building in Europe. The Imperia, OKO and Evolution towers, with its twisting shape, are just as striking. Inside are malls, restaurants and some of the highest viewing platforms in Europe.
All year; clear winter days give the sharpest views.
Go before sunset and stay for the city lights.
Check the forecast; low clouds can hide the view.
Well-known hotels within easy reach. Many international booking sites do not work here, so book direct or through local platforms.
