Moscow is an amazing city that is full of new opportunities, interesting people, and is the center of attraction for many. However, no matter how attractive this city is, from its noise and crazy speeds, you often want to rest and replenish your strength somewhere in nature. And believe me, there is no need to go far away, because you can find all this in the suburbs.
Thanks to this route you can enjoy the beauty of architecture and nature in Arkhangelskoe and even see the estate, where Pushkin and Karamzin liked to visit, visit the nature reserve "Lohin Island", where you can enjoy the cool forest and pure pine air, and have lunch in a cafe, the interior of which is the same style of the estates of past centuries.
