      Moscow from the water

      ⏱ 4 h🚶 2 km🍽 1📍 4 stops
      🐢 A little — under 3 km

      A cruise on a covered boat past the Kremlin and Gorky Park with lunch on board — runs in winter too.

      👶 With kids☔️ If it rains
      👶 3–6, 7–12, 13+ years · ✓ stroller-friendly

      Boarding is from the pier by a gangway — strollers are allowed and the crew helps. Taras Shevchenko Embankment is level. The Bagration Bridge is closed for reconstruction until the end of 2030, so you can't walk to the City across it.
