Escape the crowds: discover Moscow’s Krutitskoye Podvorye

If you’re tired of Moscow’s noisy streets and have already seen all the major landmarks, I recommend visiting Krutitskoye Podvorye. This is not just a historical corner — it’s a real time machine in the very heart of the city. Just a ten-minute walk from Proletarskaya metro station, the courtyard welcomes visitors with massive old gates, ancient churches with terracotta domes, and the authentic atmosphere of 17th-century Moscow. You won’t find crowds here — instead, there are cobblestone paths, intricate mosaics, and a rare silence (unusual for Moscow). Entry to the territory is completely free. 📍Address: Proletarskaya metro station, exit 9 Moscow, Krutitskaya Street, 8 #historicallandmarks #localguides #scenicspotguide #moscow #russia #hiddengems #architecture
