tips on visiting museums in Russia

For those who are interested in museums the following information may be very useful. 
So, if you would like not only see the masterpieces but also listen to the stories of their creation, learn more facts and enlarge your knowledge but on some reason you would like to do it by yourself without a guide or a group, then you can download, rent or use an online audio guide. 
The most famous museums provide you the guides on their sites, like Tretyakov gallery

Pokrova na Nerli church

One of the most famous Russian churches Pokrova na Nerli is situated in Vladimir region. It was founded in 1158 or 1165 according to different sources. 

The location of the church is unique. It was build in the lowland on a little hill in a water meadow. Previously here was Nerl river outlet to Klyazma river (in our times the rivers changed their flow). The church was situated almost on the river arrow thus forming the cross of the main water trading routes.

Moscow restaurants with the best roof views

Moscow restaurants with the best roof view.

Kalina Bar

Though this one requires you to get out your fanciest shoes and dish out quite a hefty sum, the evening view over the brightly lit New Arbat, Moscow City and basically all of central Moscow is worth it. Thanks to these views from the 21st floor of Lotte Plaza together with the provocative darkness, the chic atmosphere and the sensual music it’s the perfect place for a romantic dinner all year around although, of course, the open-air summer terrace is by far the most spectacular. Not to mention that the food and cocktail menus are extensive and delicious.
