MOSCOW, June 16, Zhanna Staritsyna. If your vacation is not soon yet, but you already want to relax like summer, you can do it in the city. Places for a relaxing holiday in the capital — in the material .
Nature therapy
In Moscow there are several eco-trails — special routes for communicating with nature. One of the most unusual is at VDNH. You walk at the level of the crowns of ancient oak trees: many trees are more than 150 years old. Only 500 meters, but at any time of the year and around the clock — beautiful lighting is turned on at night.
When it's hot, it's especially nice to be near the water. There is a boat station in Kuskovo — take a ride on the Big Palace Pond opposite the main architectural ensemble of the estate. The same thing happens in the Vorontsovo estate.
Recharge your creativity
People come to modern art spaces to drink coffee, find inspiration, and spend time in a creative atmosphere. GES-2 is one of the most photogenic cultural projects: snow-white frame interiors look spectacular in selfies and on social networks. The constructivist center «Zotov» will remind you of the beauty of geometric shapes, open spaces, and dynamic lines. A more youthful atmosphere is at Khlebozavod No. 9. This art cluster has a lot of graffiti, techno design, installations.
It's nice to look

In the 1970s and 80s, his collection of Russian paintings of the late 19th and early 20th centuries was one of the largest in Moscow. This is the first time such a large-scale exhibition has been prepared.
