InterContinental Moscow - Tverskaya

Start the day with a sumptuous breakfast at Chekhonte. Then, walk to Red Square to see some of Russia's greatest monuments, including the Kremlin fortress and the colourful domes of St. Basil's Cathedral. Almost as grand, Gum, an elegant three-story shopping arcade opposite the Kremlin, offers a chance to explore. Take the metro south for a leafy stroll through Gorky Central Park, the city's largest green space. Stop for lunch in one of the cafés beside the Moskva River.

After lunch, continue to the Danilov Monastery, which dates back to the 12th century. This imposing building, with its green roof and gold cupolas, was once a fortress that guarded Moscow's southern approaches. For a different side of Moscow, take a tram to Leninsky Prospekt and admire the soaring monument to the world's first astronaut, Yuri Gagarin. Then, visit the nearby Russian Academy of Sciences' Sky Lounge, where you can enjoy an apéritif and unparalleled panoramic views of the city.

Catch the metro back to the hotel and relax with a chilled cocktail in our P-Square bar. You can choose to dine early or do as the local Muscovites do and take in a cultural show before eating. Our concierge can arrange tickets for a ballet or an opera at the lavish Bolshoi Theatre. We can also help you get a late table at one of the city's finest restaurants such as Café Pushkin. Following dinner, visit the Moscow City Tower for breathtaking views of the city at night.
