What to see
The famous Moscow highlights were built in the period from 1947 to 1957. The buildings symbolize the seven hills of Moscow - they are sometimes called "seven sisters".
Despite the fact that with the form of these structures differ little from each other, each highlight has many features. For example, the Midth Building on Smolensk Square was originally designed without a spire, but then added it from ideological considerations. Features of the design of the house on the boiler's embankment allowed to carry out surveillance for the famous residents of this high rise. High rise at the red gate was built under the tilt - taking into account the pitting station. For this, the soil under the building was frozen, and after thawing, the height took a strictly vertical position. Fountains at the MSU building - not just a decoration, but a part of the air intake system. And, by the way, initially the MSU building was planned as a hotel.
Some high spirits have viewing platforms with a great view of the city. And many excursions come down to visiting such places. Large popular travel guided tours that cover all the "seven sisters". You are driving along the route and land around each highlight. For reliability and safety, it is recommended to order excursions in which the group is accompanying two professional guides - Rufe.
During such an adventure, excursions usually recognize interesting details. For example, how the observation deck appeared on the sparrow mountains, in which height is the apartment of Professor Tikhomirov from the film "Moscow, tears does not believe", where the monitoring system is established for the US Embassy and the entrance to the legendary metro-2.
