Quick ride by bicycle from Moscow to Zamoskvorech’ye

Hop on your bike for a leisurely 12 km ride from the iconic center of Moscow to the charming Zamoskvorech’ye district. You’ll be pedaling mostly on smooth asphalt and quiet roads (almost 75% of your route is on cycleways or peaceful side streets), making this a relaxed experience even if you’re not a seasoned cyclist.

Set off near the Kremlin and Red Square—Moscow’s heart, bustling with history and gorgeous old buildings. You’ll cross the Moskva River (don’t forget to take in those fantastic city views!), weave through some classic neighborhoods, and catch glimpses of both the city’s modern dynamism and its historic charm.

As you arrive in Zamoskvorech’ye, you’ll discover a laid-back quarter full of cozy cafés, galleries, and historic churches. It’s a great area to explore on foot after your ride. Expect a gentle mix of ups and downs, but nothing too challenging—just enough to keep things interesting!

Bring your camera, take it slow, and enjoy discovering a lesser-known side of Moscow!
