Natalia from Moscow

About me I was born in Siberia (never seen a bear outside a zoo though). Since 2010, I’m a happy Moscow transplant, now working as an editor for an Internet company. I soon learned to take for granted all those fantastic things this city has to offer: great theaters, its growing third wave coffee scene, good food (I keep my personal, regularly updated falafel rating), art spaces. ...

Bauman Garden Moscow

Perfect place for doing nothing

""Bauman Garden" is strategically located between two of my favorite neighborhoods in Moscow. It was recently renovated - there's always something going on."

I love Bauman Garden for a number of reasons. First, it’s been recently renovated, but it still has retained a few charming details from the past, like an old-school stage. Second, it’s not as crowded as some other parks, so you can find some serenity there after a long stroll. Third, there’s always something going on – a DJ set, a live music gig, a performance – making it a perfect place for people-watching.

What’s more, Bauman Garden is strategically located between two of my favorite neighborhoods: Chistye Prudy and Basmanny. I’m sure that you won’t miss the former; however, I strongly recommend you to explore the latter as well. After you feel that your energy level is replenished, go down Novaya Basmannaya, and you will stumble upon a couple of impressive old manors, a church, and some historic buildings. And when you get exhausted by all that walking, come back to the Garden!
