Kolomenskoe & Tsaritsino Guided Tour

Kolomenskoe & Tsaritsino Guided Tour

We'll meet at the Bolshoi Theatre fountains, and take the metro from Teatralnaya station to Kolomenskaya. As soon as we arrive we'll see the famous Kolomenskoye park, a place where the former Russian Tsars enjoyed their free time.

The park's great architecture will surely impress you! As you walk through the Kolomenskoye gardens, our guide will reveal the stories that are hidden in this magical place. 

One of the main attractions is the Church of the Ascension, did you know that the church was started in honour of the birth of Ivan the Terrible? You'll have the opportunity to contemplate its octahedral dome and its white stone facades. We'll also go to the Alexei Mikhailovich Palace, one of the great works of Russian architecture.

We'll leave the park and take the metro to Tsaritsyno. Here you'll see an impressive complex of parks bought by Catherine the Great where she built an immense palace that represented the victory of Russia over Turkey. However, the construction was not to the Czarina's liking and had it destroyed. Fortunately, that didn't happen, and today we can enjoy her wonderful scene.

You'll discover the Tzaritzano Palace, the musical fountain, the ponds and the bridge over the Kazakov ravine. A walk that will transport you immediately to the Russian monarchy's golden age.

The tour will end in Tsaritsyno, where you'll have the opportunity to walk through its gardens and discover new landscapes on your own.
