In September, progress in the tourism sector came to Moscow! As in all European cities, City Sihgtseeng double-decker sightseeing buses appeared in Moscow. Of course, we did not pass by this event and decided to take a tour on a red double-decker bus around the beautiful Moscow.

It is clear that it is difficult to surprise me with a trip around the Kremlin, but innate curiosity won. The appearance of City Sihgtseeng sightseeing buses is certainly a breakthrough; in many European cities such buses have existed for a long time. But everything in Moscow cannot be like in Europe, because we have our own secrets.
How did the organizers solve the issue of traffic jams? What do we show tourists in Moscow besides the Kremlin?
In general, let's go!

Task number 1. Choose a time for the tour

Opening hours of the double-decker bus: from 10-00 to 18-00 on weekdays, from 10-00 to 19-00 on weekends.
The ticket is valid for 24 hours and cost me 600 rubles.
I went on an excursion on weekdays from 17-00 to 18-00, and naturally the bus was stuck in traffic jams for some time. In order to breathe less exhaust gases, I advise you to go on an excursion on weekends or on weekdays during the daytime.
By the way, there are also night tours: from 20-00 to 21-30 on weekdays, from 19-30 to 22-00 on weekends.

Task number 2. How to find the red tour bus

I managed to find a stop at the very beginning of the bus movement - on Bolotnaya Square. How it looks can be seen in the photo. A small inconspicuous red pillar next to the monuments, opposite the bridge in front of the Tretyakov Gallery, on which there are numerous trees with castles.
In my opinion, it is more convenient to get on the bus at the Teatralnaya Ploshchad bus stop, which is located opposite the Bolshoi Theatre. Here, the metro is nearby, and it’s hard not to notice the stop, or rather the bus itself.
Finding other stops is quite problematic, since they do not have any identification marks.

Task number 3. Deal with prices

Ticket price for one day: adult 800 rubles, children under 13, students and pensioners - 600 rubles.

Ticket price for two days: adults (14-59): 1000 rubles, children (6-13 years old): 800 rubles, pensioners (60+): 800 rubles, students -800 rubles.

This price includes the following bonuses: free headphones, a lot of free maps and guides around Moscow on the first floor of the bus, a 10% discount with a ticket for city tour services in other cities. Also on the ground floor, a handsome guy offers to use a blanket for the duration of the walk, which will not hurt on a cool day.
The tour is conducted in two languages - Russian and English.
But this is a surprise! Apparently, the French, Germans, Spaniards, Japanese, etc. do not come to us ... But we demand that in any hotel in the world they speak Russian with us!

Task number 4. Understand the route of the tour bus

There are currently two bus routes.

Route number 1- Bolotnaya embankment, Serafimovicha St., Prechistenskaya Embankment, Volkhonka St., Gogolevsky Boulevard, Arbatskaya Square, Znamenka St., Mokhovaya St., Okhotny Ryad St., Teatralnaya Square, Lubyanskaya Square, Red Square (Vasilyevsky Spusk), Balchug St., Sofiyskaya Embankment

Route number 2 - Bolotnaya embankment, st. Serafimovich, Mokhovaya st., st. Vozdvizhenka, Novy Arbat st., Kutuzovsky prospect, Ukrainian Boulevard, Taras Shevchenko embankment, st. Bolshaya Dorogomilovskaya, st. Smolenskaya, Smolenskaya-Sennaya Square, Smolensky Boulevard, Smolenskaya Square, Novinsky Boulevard, st. New Arbat, Gogolevsky Boulevard, Soymonovsky passage, st. Znamenka, st. Mokhovaya, Okhotny Ryad St., Theater Square, Teatralny Proezd, Lubyanskaya Square, New Square, st. Ilyinka, Red Square, st. Bolotnaya, Bolotnaya square, Sofia embankment, st. Balchug, Lubochny Lane.

We tried route #1.

Bus route number 1 includes 18 stops, a full circle lasts about 40 minutes. See the map below.

View City Tour in a larger map
As you can see from the route, all these sights can be walked around in 40 minutes. I do not understand the need for such a bus on such a route. Usually, sightseeing buses ride in a large circle, pass a route that the tourist himself may not be able to master. Well, for example, he does not know how to get to all the sights by metro. Or you just can't figure out the itinerary. And so he comes, pays about 20 euros in Europe and is given a tour in his native language, a well-planned route and a complete picture of the city.
With us, you need to know English or Russian and think that in Moscow the sights are the Kremlin and Mega.
Feel, again smells of Russian spirit. The main thing is that they did, reported, ticked the box. And it is not necessary to think about those who will use this miracle.

I'm going, I'm going, I'm going

I found a bus, bought a ticket, armed myself with guidebooks, prepared to listen. Another task is to find a working radio point. Strange as it may seem, some of them didn't work. And this is provided that the excursion route was launched about a month ago. It’s good that there were not very many people on the bus, and you could choose seats. The bus during my trip was filled by 20 percent, while the first floor was completely empty. Not a season.

To be honest, a few things blew me away during the trip.
The route in my opinion is very short, the circle could have been done more.
Everything is very standard: the Bolshoi Theater - the Kremlin - the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. The text read on the audio guide is also very mediocre. Where is everything else? Where is the Moscow Art Nouveau and old lanes? Where are the parks and museums?
The organizers, because of people like you, many people think that in Moscow there is only Red Square, traffic jams and everyone is pushing. This beautiful route will further strengthen this idea in the minds of people.

Does a sightseeing tour in Moscow differ from a city tour in Barcelona or Paris? The double-decker bus itself is the same. The only difference is the presence of a roof and anti-vandal radio stations.
There is no registration of stops in Moscow, while in other cities it is clear to tourists where the stop is.
There are also not enough non-stationary information points where you could get some information about the tour.
Also in Moscow, you need to be prepared for traffic jams, and for the fact that you will have to absorb the exhaust gases of cars standing in them in huge quantities.

But there are also positive impressions. From the height of the second floor of the bus, I took good photos, I especially liked the street spans and the view of the Kremlin from the Zamoskvoretsky bridge.

From all of the above, we can conclude that Moscow really began to do something to develop tourism. But for now, we are at the very beginning of the journey.

Well, we are waiting for the appearance of new routes, because the organizers promise that they will appear soon.

Moscow is majestic and incredibly beautiful, sightseeing routes can be very diverse, exciting and truly exciting. A walk through the main sights of the capital is the best way to get acquainted with the history and life of the city, and excursions on a red double-decker bus around Moscow will just satisfy the needs of tourists and help you spend your day in the most comfortable and informative way.

Excursion program

If you are a guest of the capital or just a Muscovite who wants to fill in the gaps in the memory of the history of your city and enjoy the landscapes and stunningly beautiful architectural structures, then buy Moscow tours by bus, a Moscow tour by bus is a trip thanks to which every local and a visiting "capital" tourist will be able to learn and discover something new, something that he probably did not even know about.

Sightseeing tours around the city can be both multi-day (two-day) and single (one day or 24 hours). As a rule, the route on the red bus covers a small circle, but at the same time, such tours allow passengers to get off the bus at any place, and then just likewise enter another bus running on an identical route.

Excursions around Moscow on a double-decker bus from City Sightseeing are of only two types. The first view is red, on the red bus No. 1, and the second is green, No. 2. These sightseeing tours have the same schedule, but their length and route are different.

In the first and second cases, i.e. in "red" and "green" - the trip starts from one place, namely from Bolotnaya Square, but in the first case there are 18 stops, and in the second - 30.

We bring to your attention the route and the main attractions at each stop, which passes the first - "red" bus with route number "1":

Bolotnaya embankment (square). There are not many sights here, the embankment is better known for its historical events, such as the punishment of Yemelyan Pugachev, and other public executions. In the 18th century, there were a large number of monastic and princely gardens and kitchen gardens on the square, festivities were held and trade was conducted. But now it is a beautiful, ennobled park area, with a large number of shops, flower beds, monuments - I.E. Repin, the sculptural composition “Children are victims of the vices of adults”, the Luzhkov Bridge and its iron “Trees of Love” and just playgrounds where you can go for a walk with your family.
House on the embankment (cinema "Drummer"). Built in the style of constructivism, the cinema building has a rich history and is the first cinema in Moscow to show sound films.
Bolshoy Kamenny Bridge across the Moscow River. This bridge, which has long been “not stone”, is one of the main places where tourists come to enjoy the picturesque panorama that opens on the walls of the Kremlin, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, the Archangel Cathedral, the Government House and other iconic sights of the capital.
State Museum of Fine Arts named after A.S. Pushkin. Well, there is no need to talk about this place. The Pushkin Museum was founded in 1898, although it was called the Museum of Fine Arts and the name of Alexander III, but even since then the museum has been not just a university research center, it has been a place where the most incredible and authentic works of art of antiquity and modernity are collected.
Moscow metro station "Kropotkinskaya". In addition to the marble-granite metro station itself, awarded the Grand Prix at the exhibition in Paris and Brussels, there are such famous sights on the surface as the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, the Patriarchal Bridge, the Library. Lenin, a monument to Alexander II, as well as a huge number of museums and galleries.
Lane Sivtsev Vrazhek. The lane is located between Gogolevsky Boulevard and per. Cash, on the very lane. Sivtsev Vrazhek is something to see. There is a huge number of residential buildings in which very famous actors, writers, top military leaders, doctors and many other public figures of the Soviet period used to live.
Arbat Gate Square (Arbat Square). The square begins to come to life and fill with new colors in the evening and gathers a huge number of people on its territory. Here is the ground lobby of the Arbatskaya metro station, the Arbat Gate Square, the Mansion of the merchant Morozov, the Prague restaurant, the Peace Wall, the monument to N.V. Gogol, if you walk through these places, then the evening tour promises to be very interesting.
Mokhovaya street (Alexandrovsky garden). Driving along Makhovaya Street, you can see such sights as the Russian State Library, the monument to F.M. Dostoevsky, if you go to the parallel street (Manezhnaya), you can get to the Alexander Garden itself and to the northwestern wall of the Kremlin.
Street and metro station "Okhotny Ryad". Passing by Manezhnaya Square, the Geological Museum, you can see the famous "Okhotnoryadskaya" street, where the Building of the Council of Labor and Defense, the hotel "Moscow", the lobby of the metro station in the house "Okhotny Ryad" and the house of the Unions are located.
theatre square. Immediately after Okhotny Ryad, Teatralnaya Square begins, on which the Bolshoi, Molodezhny and Maly Theaters, the combined lobby of the Moscow metro stations Teatralnaya and Okhotny Ryad, the Metropol Hotel, as well as monuments to Vysotsky, Ostrovsky and Marx are located.
Lubyanka metro station (Lubyanskaya sq.). When the sightseeing tour of Moscow reaches this square, it is better to get off the bus and walk around the square on foot, observing the entire architectural ensemble. On the square there is the Building of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, the Biblio-Globus Trade House, the KGB Computing Center, the Square and the Solovetsky Stone monument, the Detsky Mir department store, a museum and many other interesting buildings that require only multi-day excursions.
Upper trading rows, GUM. An incredibly large shopping complex located and looking at the main square of the country with its “face”, is still a “general store” where you can not only buy goods, but also drink coffee in a cozy cafe and watch people passing by.
Red Square. The most popular and demanded trip to the main square of Moscow is the New Year's excursion. During this fabulous period, the square itself is transformed, a huge New Year tree and an ice rink appear on it, which first appeared on the square back in 2006. Of course, on other days and seasons, there are places to go and things to see on the square. These are St. Basil's Cathedral, a museum, the well-known mausoleum, the Execution Ground, the Upper and Middle Trading Rows, etc. Tourists are allowed to take “selfies” and shoot videos in the square and indoors.
Bolshoi Moskvoretsky Bridge. After the square, on a sightseeing red bus, you will pass along the Bolshoi Moskvoretsky Bridge, which stretches across the Moskva River, and then you will get to Balchug Street.
Balchug street. Further excursions on a double-decker bus in Moscow are almost over, on this street you can look at the Balguch Kempinski hotel and the Balguch Plaza business center.
Confectionery factory "Red October". Then the trip on the official City Sightseeing bus continues to the Krasny Oktyabr factory, founded back in 1851 and producing such famous sweets as Alyonka, Mishka kosolapy, Kara-Kum, Golden Key, etc.
Cinema "Drummer". This "red" tour begins to finally close, returning to the famous cinema.
Balchug street. Then again the tour leads to Balchug Street, and from there to Bolotnaya Square, where the bus picks up new passengers.

"Green" route No. 2 also passes half of the listed sights, and also includes such famous places as Stary Arbat, Novospassky, Patriarchal, Bolshoy Ustinsky and Borodinsky Bridges, Novospassky Monastery, Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul and others.

How to book an excursion

The tour can be booked online, which makes the "Moscow" route through the sights. To do this, you need to go to the official website or the website of City Sightseeing partners and make a purchase.

You can arrange both two-day and one-day excursions and pay for the ticket using the PayPal payment system.

Day Tour by City Sightseeing Bus

Day trips or 2 day trips on a red double decker are very convenient. At any time of the day, namely starting from 10:00 am, you can board a red double decker anywhere along the plying route.

There will be no need to look for buses at the station, as they stop at the "red" signs that are located around the city. The main and main stop of both routes is Bolotnaya Square near the monument.

red bus timetable

The double-decker tour bus has two schedules:

From May to October: the first flight leaves at 10 am and the last one at 17:15. On weekends, the last "first" route leaves the square at 18:30, and the "second" green one half an hour earlier, i.e. at 18:00.
From November to April: the first flight on weekdays departs at 10:00, the last "red" and "green" flights at 17:00 and 16:00, respectively, on weekends and holidays at 18:00 and at 17:00.

Sometimes, due to the condition of the roads, possible repairs, due to possible Moscow traffic jams and other unforeseen circumstances, the schedule and the route itself, along which the double decker runs, may change without prior notice to passengers.

The duration of the first red bus running along route No. 1 lasts an average of 1 hour, while the double decker stops at the most remarkable sights for 10 minutes, throughout the route you can listen to an audio guide that tells about historical incidents and about the sights themselves on 8 languages of the world.

In terms of length, flight No. 1 takes about 10 km of the way, but it passes them in an hour, so that all tourists can take full-fledged and high-quality photographs from the second floor of the bus. Route No. 2 is twice as long as the first (20 km), therefore, more time will be spent on the trip, namely 1.5-2 hours, depending on the state of the roads and congestion.

Excursion red double-deckers run daily, seven days a week, multi-day (more than 2 days) or excursions from Moscow are not provided, since the bus makes its flight along the route within the Moscow Ring Road and in one hour.

But those who purchased a ticket on the spot or via the Internet are given the opportunity to use the services of the bus for one or two days, getting on and off the board at any time of the day until 18:00, the so-called "hop-on hop-off".

Prices for sightseeing tours in Moscow

In general, the price of a ticket for a red sightseeing double decker in Moscow depends on several factors.:

The ticket price is different for residents and foreign travelers. For the latter, it is a little more expensive than for Muscovites or people living in other regions of Russia.
The ticket price depends on the number of days, there are two options: either 1 day, i.e. 24 hours or two days.
The ticket price differs depending on which category of passengers you belong to. For adult residents, the cost of 1 day excursion is 1,000 rubles per person, for pensioners and students - 800 rubles, for children (from 0 to 6 years old), disabled people of the 1st group and veterans of the Great Patriotic War - free of charge. For children over 6 years old and disabled people of groups 2 and 3 - 600 rubles.

It is also possible to purchase a small discount by choosing a family rate, if the family consists of two adults and one child - 2,400 rubles for all, two adults + two children - 2,800, two + three - 3,200 rubles.

On average in Moscow, ordering a bus for an excursion starts from 700 rubles per hour. Therefore, if you purchase a hop-on hop-off ticket, then you save at least 10 times the cost of the tour.

Having spent only 1000 rubles, you have the opportunity to ride around Moscow sights throughout the day and at any time convenient for you.

What does not happen in life, now I know how it goes tours of Moscow on a double-decker bus with audio guides :). And why not, in every decent European city there are. They are called "hop-on - hop-off", that is, "enter-exit". You buy a ticket for 1 or 2 days and you can ride, leaving and returning to the bus at least at every stop.

Tour of Moscow on a double-decker bus

So in Moscow, I had a chance to ride on the “hop-on-hop-off”. Actually, I intended to get into the Tretyakov Gallery, but the queue at the entrance did not inspire me. Standing on the street in such dank weather is not cool, I went where my eyes look, that is, forward. And on Bolotnaya Square I saw a red double-decker bus approaching, here they have the beginning and end of the ring route, right opposite the Luzhkov Bridge.

So, a bus tour of Moscow on a red double-decker bus. Photo again from a smartphone, sorry :).

Tickets and benefits

The ticket price, of course, is quite biting for a banal excursion (especially with the recording of an audio guide, which you can neither ask clarifying questions nor listen to again if you get distracted). But then she and Moscow. How much does a 2 day city tour cost?

Because tickets are not sold for one day, only for two:

1200 rub. for adults
1000 rub. for pensioners and students,
800 for children under 13 and disabled people of 2-3 groups.
Family tickets are cheaper (from 3,000 rubles for three).
Free - weekdays only! - for children under 6 years old, disabled people of the 1st group, veterans of the Great Patriotic War and pensioners over 75 years old, journalists and hotel concierges.

For foreigners, all tickets for 300 rubles. expensive.

View all current prices (which are likely to increase in June due to the 2018 FIFA World Cup) and buy tickets online in advance

I don't qualify for any of the eligible categories. Well, why not feel like a tourist, especially in such weather and in a warm bus. Maybe I'll find out something interesting about familiar places. I paid, received a map of Moscow and headphones, and climbed to the second floor.

True, upon closer examination of the issued map with routes, it turned out that 200 rubles. You could still save if you have a ticket from the Moscow Museum (I just had a couple of tickets lying around in my bag) or 30% upon presentation of a check from the Detsky Mir chain of stores.

But they do not warn about this in advance, the card is issued after paying for the ticket. The steward refused to recalculate the tax. Say, who knows, he enjoys discounts. I wonder if anyone else goes on these tours?

Route they have two, duration without traffic jams:

red #1 around the Kremlin — 1 hour, 10 km, 18 stops - Red Square - Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge - Factory "Red October" - Sofiyskaya Embankment (Drummer Cinema) - Sofiyskaya Embankment (Balchug Street),
green number 2– via Vorobyovy Gory and Kyiv Railway Station – 2 hours, 20 km, 25 stops (Bolotnaya Square – Udarnik Cinema – Pushkinsky Bridge (on request) – Observation deck on Sparrow Hills – Europe Square – Kyiv Station – Embankment Taras Shevchenko - Hotel "Ukraine" - Berth of the Radisson flotilla - Borodinsky bridge - Novinsky Boulevard - Cinema "October" - Moscow House of Books - Arbatskaya Square - Patriarchal bridge - Moskvoretsky bridge - Zaryadye - Kotelnicheskaya embankment).

Routes sometimes change, during traffic jams, detours are possible.

With a purchased ticket, you can ride on both routes an unlimited number of times, get off at stops for sightseeing, shopping or for other needs, and then back to the bus (the interval on the red route is 15-20 minutes, on the green route - 30-40 minutes). )

Tour bus timetable

Start:

Buses on the short and long lines start running at 10 am from Bolotnaya Square all year round, seven days a week. The interval of the short route is 15 minutes, the long route is 30.

The ending:

Summer, from May to October, the last flight of both routes departs at 18:00.

in winter, from November to April:

On weekdays: short red route number 1 - at 17:00, long green route number 2 - 16:40 .

On weekends and holidays: red route #1 and green route #2 — 17:20 .

Both routes on Bolotnaya:

Excursion

The second floor of the bus is half heated, the back is for the warm season, with an opening top:

It is really more interesting to look from the second floor, you can see the stucco molding on the walls of the houses.

The tour is conducted in eight languages, you can switch to Russian, English, German, Spanish, French, Chinese, Italian or Arabic in your headphones.

The audio guide, of course, is tuned to the tourists of the first wave, do not expect any special details about the buildings from it, although the story is slightly flavored with rumors and jokes. Well, for foreigners, there are many explanations like this: Muscovites called the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff the “Russian Pentagon”, and Novy Arbat was “Moscow's Las Vegas” before the casino was banned.

pros sightseeing bus tour "hop-on - hop-off":

you can ride for two days on one ticket, get off at interesting stops and take the next bus,
in the cold season, you can warm up, if you don’t rush anywhere, you can roll 2-3 laps :),
in summer you can buy a bus + boat ticket.

Bus audio guides, unlike live guides, of course, have their own minuses:

the description of the objects you pass includes a steward. Accordingly, you will not be able to clarify or ask again. And even rewinding and re-listening (if you are suddenly distracted), as in individual museum audio guides, will not work.
Since traffic jams are not uncommon in Moscow, especially weekdays, the pauses that have arisen are sometimes filled with general facts about the city, but their frequency also depends on the mood of the steward.

In general, the impression of excursions on Moscow double-decker buses is as follows: for those who came for the first time, it’s quite a reasonable price for two days of walking, for foreign tourists with the current exchange rate, it’s generally a freebie.

Just do not forget to take checks from Detsky Mir or museum tickets with you before the trip :).

Write your reviews about "hop-on - hop-off" tours, it's interesting to compare.

However, for that kind of money you can ride the metro in two days, and still have some left over for museums.

Or take a tour with a live guide who you can ask questions:

And in the center in good weather it is better to walk on foot, it is still quite close.

By the way, there is also a free walking tour of Red Square, on Tuesdays from 14:00 to 15:00:

There is also a cool option for an excursion even for Muscovites, a walk on the roofs of Moscow is very cool, breathtaking views and so many pictures you can take:
