Quick ride by bicycle from Moscow to Dorogomilovo

Take a leisurely ride from the heart of Moscow to the Dorogomilovo district! Starting near Red Square, you’ll roll west past some of the city’s classic sights, with the Kremlin’s golden domes in the background. The route is mostly smooth going—expect 97% paved surfaces, with stretches on quiet roads making up almost half of your ride. There are a few stretches on busier streets, so keep your wits about you, but you’ll also pass through pedestrian areas and even a cycleway or two.

Dorogomilovo is an interesting destination—this riverside district is known for its mix of Stalin-era architecture and modern buildings, and it’s a stone’s throw from Moscow City’s glittering skyscrapers. Along the way, you’ll climb just a little (only about 56 meters up and 70 meters down), so it’s a ride most cyclists can handle. Grab a coffee when you arrive and take in the local vibe before heading back!
