Day 3
Tretyakov Gallery, River cruise, Metro tour
The third day will start with visiting Tretyakov gallery. The gallery's history starts in 1856 when the Moscow merchant Pavel Mikhailovich Tretyakov acquired works by Russian artists of his day with the aim of creating a collection, which might later grow into a museum of national art. In 1892, Tretyakov presented his already famous collection of approximately 2,000 works (1,362 paintings, 526 drawings, and 9 sculptures) to the Russian nation. The collection contains more than 130,000 exhibits, ranging from Theotokos of Vladimir and Andrei Rublev's Trinity to the monumental Composition VII by Wassily Kandinsky and the Black Square by Kazimir Malevich.
After we will have the rest during Moscow River cruise on the comfortable boat during 2 hours. The Moskva River is one of the most beautiful things in Moscow. Very wide, mighty with stone made banks, pedestrian and transport bridges it attracts a lot of attention of tourists and residents. We are happy to offer you a two-hour boat-trip along the most unusual route in the center of Moscow around the Golden Island, along a unique section of the Vodootvodny Canal, which is inaccessible to other ships. Along with the iconic Moscow's attractions – the Kremlin, St. Basil's Cathedral, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, the Monument to Peter the Great, you will see the bridges and floating fountains of the Vodootvodny Canal.
And of course Moscow meto tour. Metro is the fastest ways to get anywhere in this city and to avoid traffic jams.
The Moscow Metro was opened in 1935 As of 2018, the Moscow Metro excluding the Moscow Central Circle and Moscow Monorail has 224 stations (255 with Moscow Central Circle) and its route length is 381 km (237 mi), making it the fifth-longest in the world. It's the busiest metro system in Europe, and a tourist attraction in itself.
