Krymskaya Embankment

Krymskaya embankment, which links the two popular urban centers of Gorky Park and Red October, is itself a fully-fledged public space with fountains, dynamic art installations, cafes and wavy wooden benches built along the river. From there, you can stroll through the Park of Arts, with its collection of abandoned Soviet monuments to the branch of the Tretyakov gallery on Krymsky Val. Or hire a bicycle for the five mile ride up to the vantage point of Sparrow Hill, near Gorky Park, to overlook the city below.
