Quick ride by bicycle from Dorogomilovo to Mar’ina Roshcha

This ride takes you from the leafy neighborhood of Dorogomilovo, known for its classic Soviet-era architecture and close proximity to the Moscow River, up north to the lively district of Mar’ina Roshcha. Expect about 12.5 km of mostly smooth paved paths, perfect for a relaxed urban spin.

You’ll start out heading away from the riverbanks, cutting through mostly quiet and access roads, giving you a break from Moscow’s busier avenues. The route climbs gradually (with about 90 meters of ascent) so you’ll get a good workout without any real steep hills. Most of your ride will roll over clean asphalt, with just a touch of paving stones as you get closer to your destination.

As you cruise into Mar’ina Roshcha, you’ll notice the vibe shift—this area boasts trendy new spots alongside old-school local charm. It’s a great place to grab a coffee or explore some of the smaller cultural gems tucked away from the city’s main tourist drag. All in all, a fun, urban route connecting two sides of Moscow!
