      By river tram to Fili

      ⏱ 5 h 30 min🚶 4.5 km + ⛴🍽 2📍 7 stops
      🚶 Moderate — 3–7 km

      An hour and a half on the water past the Moscow City skyscrapers, from Kiyevsky Station to Filyovsky Park, then an embankment, lunch on a terrace and a Naryshkin Baroque church. The tram runs all year round.

      👶 With kids🏛 History and architecture🌳 Parks and nature
      👶 3–6, 7–12 years · ✗ hard with a stroller

      The boat has spaces for strollers and bicycles, but Park Fili pier isn't stroller-friendly — you'll have to lift it. The way up to the park embankment is an asphalt zigzag, not stairs.

        📖 More about the placeCollapse
        • In 1689 Peter I gave Fili to his uncle Lev Naryshkin; before that these were Tsar Alexey Mikhailovich's royal hunting grounds.
        • Fili Park became a park of culture and leisure in 1947.
        • Until the 1970s the park stayed almost wild: elk were seen here and Muscovites came to pick mushrooms.
        • The park's children's and sports playgrounds were built during the large-scale improvement of 2011–2014; one of them is for children with disabilities.
        • In 1997, for Moscow's 850th anniversary, a wooden “City of Craftsmen” styled after towns of the 10th–12th centuries was built on the site of the Kuntsevo hillfort.

        • The present church was built in 1690–1694 on the site of a wooden church of 1619.
        • No documents about the author survive: the church is attributed either to Yakov Bukhvostov or to Pyotr Potapov.
        • The upper church of the Saviour Not Made by Hands is named in thanks for Lev Naryshkin's rescue during the Streltsy rebellion.
        • The carved decor and the iconostasis were made by Karp Zolotaryov, a master of the Ambassadorial Office.
        • In 1812 Napoleon's soldiers set up a stable in the lower church and a tailor's workshop in the upper one.
        • In July 1941 the domes and the upper octagon were removed so the church would not serve as a landmark for German spotters.
        • In 1980, for the Olympics, a branch of the Andrei Rublev Museum opened here; in 2019 the church was fully handed over to the Church.
