A modern park beside the Kremlin with a floating bridge over the river.
Address: Varvarka St, 6, Moscow 109012
For decades this spot held the giant Rossiya Hotel. After it was pulled down, Moscow opened Zaryadye Park in 2017, the first new big park in the centre in over 50 years.
The park recreates Russia's natural zones, from tundra and steppe to forest and wetlands, under glass roofs and on terraces. Its V-shaped Floating Bridge reaches 70 metres out over the Moskva River without supports at the end, giving one of the best views of the Kremlin.
May to October for the gardens; winter for snowy views.
Sunset on the bridge, then the lit-up Kremlin.
Busy in the afternoon; go in the morning.
Well-known hotels within easy reach. Many international booking sites do not work here, so book direct or through local platforms.
Yes, the park is free; some attractions are paid.
A V-shaped bridge that extends 70 m over the river.
In 2017.
