Moscow - Zamoskvorechie (Chapter)
This is the Zamoskvorechie chapter from Lonely Planet’s Moscow guidebook.
Zamoskvorechie – its name meaning ‘Beyond Moscow River’ – stretches south from the bank opposite the Kremlin. This dynamic district is the site of Moscow’s premier traditional art museum, the Tretyakov, as well as the capital’s most exciting contemporary art and entertainment complex in the former Red October chocolate factory. Green Gorky Park lies further south along the Moscow River, while two ancient fortress-monasteries guard the city’s southern flank.

• maps
• catching a concert, film or event at the Strelka Institute in the former Red October chocolate factory
• transport
