Giro veloce in bici da Mar’ina Roshcha a Sokol

This ride takes you from Mar’ina Roshcha, a bustling Moscow neighborhood known for its cultural spots and theaters, over to Sokol, a leafy and quieter district famous for its historic neighborhoods and classic Moscow architecture. The route covers nearly 15 km, mostly on smooth asphalt and well-maintained roads, so you’ll have an easy pedal almost the whole way there (only a small stretch is a bit of a mystery surface-wise).

You’ll start off heading west through a good mix of access and quiet roads—expect minimal traffic, making it great for a laid-back ride. Along the way, you’ll pass through some classic Moscow scenes: residential buildings, small parks, and maybe a local café or two if you want to take a break. With just a mild ascent (less than 30 meters overall), it’s friendly for all levels, and the descent into Sokol feels like a reward.

Finish in Sokol, where you could explore the pretty leafy lanes, check out some Stalinist-era architecture, or relax in one of the area’s welcoming green spaces. Perfect for a relaxed urban cruise!
