Cultural and natural attractions of the Moscow region

Arkhangelskoye is an 18th-century palace and park ensemble located in the Moscow region, not far from Krasnogorsk. There is an old manor house on the territory, which once belonged to both the Golitsyn family and Prince N.B. Yusupov. A.S. Pushkin, N.M. Karamzin, V.A. Serov, I.F. Stravinsky and even the tsar's family often visited it.
The estate has been reconstructed several times, but even now it continues to amaze visitors with its beauty and history. There are the Yusupovs' vault, the Temple of Archangel Michael, the small palace "Caprice", the tea house, the temple-monument to Catherine II, the rose fountain and much more! Here you can stroll along the shady alleys, enjoy the nature and the beauty of the architecture of the past centuries.
Please note that visiting the exhibitions and events from November 8, 2021 you must have a valid vaccination or sickness certificate or a medical certificate with a negative result of PCR-testing done one day before visiting the Museum. More details can be found on the official website of the Museum-Reserve.

There is also a cafe "7 Dacha", where you can have a delicious and inexpensive lunch. The cafe replicates the cuisine and interior of the last century manor houses, which will allow you to immerse yourself even more into the atmosphere of those times!

Not far from the architectural complex there is a lake where you can take a ride on a catamaran, boat or just enjoy a walk and the local scenery.

"Lochin Island" is a nature reserve, which was formed in the XIX century due to straightening of the course of the Moscow River, and today it even has the status of a state natural monument of regional importance.
There are many representatives of the flora included in the Red Book, and the main attraction of the reserve is the lake Gluhaya Yama, which is said to be more than 12000 years old! Here you can stroll through the forest, enjoy the pine scent and the cleanest air.

The day will be best finished with dinner in a cozy and elegant restaurant, enjoying dishes of Caucasian, European and Russian cuisine. Here we will be able to taste the traditional cholodets, rack of lamb, and pilaf with shish kebab.
