ARTPLAY Moscow

Fairy place

Evgeniya from Moscow

""ARTPLAY" Moscow is quite large - you can take a short stroll in it enjoying street art exhibitions and wall paintings... Recommended for a weekend!"

This place is reachable from Kurskaya metro station for about 10 minutes. Like in Russian fairy tales, on my way I have to choose the right turn to take when a fork appears in the road: wine factory (to the left) or Artplay (to the right). Artplay territory has enough space for a short stroll. Street art is exhibited here in the form of metal installations and wall paintings.

I find Artplay similar to London. Narrow streets with two/three storey buildings, pubs/cafes on the first floor. No wish to go inside? Then please taste the delightful sandwiches cooked beyond the van's wall by Turkish guys.

There's a cozy trade/fair space (from time to time clothes, accessories and bijou made by designers are sold here) with places for master-classes. Do not forget to visit the open air smoking terrace with a view of the church dome on the right hand.

Inside the building ancient stuff, furniture, books, souvenirs are sold at different floors. Though everything is pretty expensive. There is a museum, where currently Michelangelo works are on display. You can even buy a chocolate David, small copy.

For me Artplay is a weekend place.

You begin to understand more and more about Russia and the nation and even about yourself. So Moscow is huge and varied. It is stuffed ...
