Why did you stop? Come on!
He stopped
Someone important there
Oh, the Bolshoi Theater
So cool, I love this
The more you come here to the Red Square area
the more new things you discover
Look at how charming this place here is, full of stands
They're selling typical Russian food
Selling other souvenirs as well. I love it!
Look at you getting all smart there
Buying food on your own!
Yes
What are you getting? Kebab
It's warm!
_ It's good! _ Yeah!
Look at the size of those pieces
The smell of this barbecue is amazing
Actually all the food here, everything smells really good
Food is good, but prices are not. Souvenirs are a little expensive here
A little expensive there, too
So let me introduce you to Arbat Street
This is a pedestrian street in the historical center
This street has existed at least since the 15th century
So this is also one of the oldest surviving streets in Moscow
I read online that this is where the nobles lived in the 18th century
But today...
This is a tourist paradise!
I like the prices
I learned that the more detailed the matryoshkas are, the more expensive.
Not necessarily depending on how many dolls they have inside
But I love this one with so many!
Ah! Which one do you choose? None! They need Modrić and Mbappé
Let me show you something interesting here
A lot of people ask me if it's difficult to order food in Russia
And a lot of restaurants have menus exactly like this
Look at that. Translated into English and with pictures. This makes it really easy
Pierogies...
They have vareniki
Even at Arbat Street you can find good prices
When you talk about Moscow everyone thinks about Red Square and Kremlin, right?
But there's a second Kremlin here. It's this one where we are at Izmailovo
Kremlin is a word that means fortress, but this is not a real one. This was created in 2007
This is like a fairy-tale place inspired by traditional Russian architecture. So cute!
Free entrance
This is a cultural and entertainment complex with two central buildings
One inspired by the summer palace in Kolomenskoye, southern Moscow
Just like the original, this one is also made of wood
You can come up here and have an amazing view
Look at this
The other building is this one here right in front
This is the Church of St. Nicholas and it's the highest wooden church in the entire Russia
This kremlin also has museums, cafes, street food
In Izmailovo there's a huge park, probably one of the biggest parks in town, one of the best as well
And there's also a market. Everyone from my family wants a souvenir. So we're gonna check out the market
Ah, that's nice!
_ How much? _ ₽ 404
_ ₽ 400? _ Yeah
₽ 400
This is probably the best place in town to buy souvenirs. You find everything here, and also a lot of antiques
_ Thanks! _ You're welcome
This is for serious winter
600 rubles
₽ 600?
Yes, ₽ 600
This one is cheaper, ₽ 500
Soviet Russian
Barbecue going on and it smells wonderful
_ Salmon! _ It looks real good! Yeah!
_ Problem is where do you eat it? _ Right here!
_ In your hand? _ Yeah!
Oh, they got upstairs
Upstairs, upstairs sit down, we've got tables. Upstairs is open, open!
Remember in the other video that I mentioned I want to send some postcards here from Russia?
Just found them. I'm buying them right here
Oh, and before I forget. To come here by metro, you must get off at Partizanskaya station
Not at Izmaylovskaya
Moscow is a city of superlatives. It is the largest city entirely on the European continent
It is also the northernmost and coldest metropolis on earth
Here you also find the tallest skyscraper in Europe and the tallest freestanding structure in Europe
That tower that I tried to show in the last vlog, but it didn't work
It also has the busiest metro system in Europe. But there's one more statistic that not many people know
This is also one of the greenest capitals in the world. Over 40% of Moscow are covered
by park, forests, gardens
This is why I chose to come back to one of my favorite parks before saying goodbye to Moscow
Hello back Gorky Park!
This is a favorite to Muscovites as well
There's always something going on here
There's more Gorky Park in the video that I'm linking above
Thank you so much everyone for watching my videos
If you like this series, let me know
I'm done with Moscow, but not Russia. Next stop: Kazan
Wait, wait, wait! Don't go yet
Remember that wood building in Izmailovo that was inspired by a famous palace in Moscow?
This is the real deal: Kolomenskoye
This is an open-air museum and it's famous for the Great Palace made of wood
Actually, It's not this one
The original was destroyed by a empress, Catherine the Great
But it was rebuilt based on the exact same model that didn't get lost over the years. Very cool!
Over the centuries, it was a summer palace for Russian tsars
What's original here is this church. This is the Ascension Church, from 1532. And it's a World Heritage Site
Just a quick stop. Now, it's really time to go, bye bye!
