-Izmailovo Souvenir Market Posted by olij 16 December 2005
A sprawling maze of wooden turrets and walkways housing the largest souvenir market in Moscow. If you make it through the obligatory matrioshka and amber stalls, crowded with American tourists, you are rewarded with a bewildering array of miscellany from antique busts of Lenin and Stalin to old toys and household junk. It's as popular with Russians as it is for tourists so the prices are reasonable, although if you have a foreign accent you'll have to work hard to haggle them down. The entrance fee is a mere 10 roubles.
Nearest metro: Izmailovo
(kann mich nicht erinnern dort gewesen zu sein, garantiere fuer nix)
-Da sollte man gewesen sein: Spatzenhuegel: Guter Ueberblick auf Moskau, an Samstagen gibts lustig angezogene russische Brautleute zu sehen (wenn man Glueck hat)- SEHENSWERT "Sparrow Hills-
The only place where you can get a true impression of the scope of Moscow. If you've read Tolstoy's War and Peace (well done), this is where the scenes are set as the Russian army retreats from Napoleon's doomed advance.
Now it's a setting for the Moscow State University and has splendid views on a fine day. You really can see it all from here - especially the married couples having their photo taken with the panorama behind.
Sparrow Hills is known as Vorabyovi Gori in Russian. Nearest metros: Universitet or Vora
Na, merkt ihr schon warum ich den Multi-Ride U-Bahn-Pass empfehle? Ihr werdet SOOOO MUEDE SEIN AM ENDE! Moskau ist ueberdimensional, eine 15-Millionenstadt die immer nach Busdiesel duftelt.
In die Kirchen solltet ihr auch mal reinschauen, die sind wunderschoen! Fuer die Weiber: nehmt nen Rock oder ein Tuch das als Rock um die Hosen gebunden werden kann (im Zentrum schert sich keiner, aber am Land ist man strikter).
ES GIBT HALT SOOO VIEL ZU TUN aber so wenig Zeit...
