Zamoskvorechye

Across the river — galleries, workshops, quiet streets

Literally 'beyond the Moskva', Zamoskvorechye kept its low merchant houses and slow rhythm while the rest of the center grew up around it. It holds the Tretyakov Gallery, a string of independent art spaces, and cafés that don't need to shout.

It's the neighborhood for the culture-first evenings — an exhibition, then a long conversation somewhere nearby.
