Zamoskvorechye District

District Moscow, Central Federal District, Russia

What to expect

Zamoskvorechye District is a historic area located on the other side of the Moscow River, known for its unique style and peaceful atmosphere. The district was formed in the 13th century and was initially a suburb of Moscow, with many free settlements, or Sloboda, populated by people of the same professions. Over time, merchants and archers became the district's inhabitants, and the area was characterized by a slow and calm lifestyle. Today, Zamoskvorechye is a vibrant and industrial area, yet it still maintains its cozy atmosphere. Visitors can explore the district's historic buildings, such as the Averkiy Kirillov Chambers and the House Museum of the playwright A.N. Ostrovsky, and enjoy the area's charming streets and gardens
