Around the World: Moscow

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Again another weekend alone in Moscow, but luckily this time there was good weather! I decided to go walking without purpose in the less touristic neighborhoods, or at least in that places where you usually go if you are an out of town Russian tourist with time. You will recognize among the pictures a strange house with a wonderful staircase: that is Gorkij's last home, I usually don't like museum, but if they are a real home, I'm all for visiting them. The pool instead is a public park where a lot of families spend the weekend, it's also included in The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov, and I was wondering why in the house near the pool (now a cafe), there were people skating... then I realize that propably in Winter it's an huge ice-skating track!
