Gita in bici di un giorno da Taganskiy a Tekstil’shchiki

This ride takes you from the eclectic Taganskiy district to the more residential Tekstil’shchiki in southeast Moscow, covering about 27 kilometers on mostly smooth, paved roads. Leaving the lively mix of Soviet monuments, theaters, and cafes in Taganskiy, you’ll meander through quieter neighborhoods and leafy side streets. Much of the route rolls along less trafficked roads and access streets, with just the occasional buzz of a busier road—so it’s calm enough for a weekend spin.

Expect only gentle ups and downs, with a total ascent and descent around 120 meters, nothing too leg-burning. You’ll pass through a snippet of authentic, lived-in Moscow before finishing in Tekstil’shchiki, a district known for its textile industry roots and old-school local eateries.

Pack some snacks, take it easy, and enjoy glimpses of Moscow’s evolving landscape—from historic to everyday city life—all from your saddle.
