Cycling day trip from Tekstil’shchiki to Taganskiy

This ride takes you from Tekstil’shchiki, a lively Moscow district known for its Soviet-era textile industry and leafy parks, straight to the bustling hub of Taganskiy. Covering just over 23 km, it’s a journey right through the heart of southeast Moscow, mainly on smooth asphalt and quiet access roads—so expect a pretty relaxed pedal with only a few busy stretches.

The route’s minimal elevation (maxing out at 156 meters) means you won’t be sweating over big hills, but there’s just enough up and down to keep things interesting. Most of your ride passes through residential neighborhoods and green spaces, offering glimpses of both classic and modern Moscow.

You’ll finish up in Taganskiy, a vibrant district famous for the Taganka Theater and a mix of historic churches and trendy cafes. It’s a perfect chance to grab coffee, explore some local history, and unwind after your ride through the city.
