The Abandoned and Secret Places of Moscow

« Abandoned and Secret Places of Moscow » – is an adventure for those who do not have enough experience in the extreme and bustle of the city. Gain new experiences and adrenaline while visiting the abandoned or secret places in Moscow, or the so-called “dark side of the city”, which are rarely visited by Moscow citizens themselves!

What to expect

We will discover places, which are rarely visited by Moscow citizens. You will see the copy of the Kremlin; the manor of a man whose name was a synonym of criminals in the 19th century; the garden hiding over people’s heads; underground salt factory which was transformed into a community center and then was abandoned; a “perfect” Soviet apartment building. We will finish our tour in one of the best secret bars in Moscow. One of them has no entrance, the door of the second bar hides somewhere in the City Centre pharmacy.
