Any walk around the capital can become special. You don’t have to wait for the weekend or carve out a free day in a busy schedule for that. “Mosbilet” prepared a selection of routes that won’t take much time but will become a real discovery for Muscovites. We tell you where to go when you want to pause your affairs and briefly immerse yourself in something interesting.
Route No. 1. “Yesenin Center,” “Poets’ Quarter,” and a small coffee shop
The first route will start from the Dostoevskaya metro station. Not far from it, in Chernyshyevsky Lane (house 4, building 2), there is a cozy cultural space “Yesenin Center”, dedicated to the famous poet. At the beginning of the 20th century, there was a literary café ‘At Adela’s’ here, where members of the Surikov literary and musical circle gathered, and today exhibitions are organized in this place, creative meetings are held, and much more.
You can take a walk in the “Yesenin Center,” for example, through the exhibition “‘And Your Melodies Never Cease’: Yesenin in the Memoirs of Peredelkino Writers”. It is dedicated to the 20th-century literary figures who were personally acquainted with the poet and played an important role in preserving and popularizing his creative legacy.
After touring the museum, you can have a snack at the “Yesenin” café. They serve the signature pastry “Black Man” made from black sponge cake with white icing, acorn coffee, and birch lemonade.
Having learned a lot about the bright representative of the Silver Age and being inspired by poetic lines, it is worth taking a stroll through the “Poets’ Quarter.” This small art square is located next to the “Yesenin Center.” Here, visitors can read quotes from writers, musicians, and directors, inscribed on a wall made of corten steel, and take photos at the installation “To the Unknown Poet.”

Route No. 2. K.G. Paustovsky Museum, estate, and rest by the pond
The second route will appeal not only to art lovers but also to those who enjoy spending time in nature. It begins in K.G. Paustovsky Museum on Kuzminskaya Street (house 8). The exhibition occupies only 80 square meters, but each of its five halls — “City,” “Sea,” “Forest,” “World,” and “Home” — immerses visitors in a separate world. For example, the “Sea” hall is designed like a ship’s deck. The sound of waves plays here, and the smell of salt is noticeable. The “Forest” hall is filled with birdsong and the aroma of pines. Here visitors can hear the writer’s voice and leaf through his family album.
Also interesting are the relics displayed in the exhibition, such as butterflies from the island of Borneo. And there is also a cat named Musya living in the museum. The staff call the furry resident the caretaker due to her special affection for visitors.
After a short walk through the K.G. Paustovsky Museum, one can head to the museum-reserve “Kuzminki-Lyublino”: to stroll among the ponds, old buildings, and shady alleys. There are also gazebos for picnics available for visitors. On weekends, the tea space of the Lyublino estate invites you to try the tea “Moscow“, and various workshops are held for children. In addition, if you want to relax, you should turn to the Shibaevsky pond. Here you can enjoy a picturesque view, rent a floating gazebo or a pedal boat.

Route No. 3. Marina Tsvetaeva House-Museum, art pavilions, and flower selfies
The third route is suitable for those who appreciate atmospheric places and vivid photographs. It is worth starting the walk from Marina Tsvetaeva House Museums in Borisoglebsky Lane (house 6, building 1). Here the unique layout of the poetess’s apartment and the atmosphere of the few years she lived there with her husband and children have been recreated. In the museum halls, you can see dozens of items — from Marina Tsvetaeva’s mirror and beads to her coffee cup. You can explore the interiors accompanied by guides. On the tour “The Life and Work of Marina Tsvetaeva” visitors learn about the apartment, and during the tour “The Story of the Tsvetaeva Family” they will hear about the writer herself, her father, uncle, sisters, and brothers.
After learning the facts about the poetess’s biography and work, you can take a stroll along New Arbat. Here, city residents and visitors to the capital will be greeted by unusual art pavilions, in front of which you can take the brightest selfies. One of them, for example, is made in the form of a huge box of chocolates. It is located opposite the October cinema. And at the corner of the Prague restaurant is a multi-meter art object called the “Samovar.” This golden structure with red handles will leave no passerby indifferent. Art pavilions They are installed not just for decoration: products from capital city producers — participants of the project — are sold in them. “Made in Moscow”. These are souvenirs, books, toys, cosmetics, and much more.
It’s worth checking out the festival venue as well “Gardens and Flowers” Opposite the “Moscow House of Books.” This is a space that combines urban architecture and flora from different continents. Here you can walk among bright flowers and take memorable photos. The atmosphere is supported by a well-thought-out gastronomic program.
