Well, and, of course, this is where the events of Bulgakov’s favorite novel “The Master and Margarita” began. If you want to walk along the paths where Woland met Berlioz and Ivan the Homeless, come to Patriarchal Ponds. There, by the way, there is a sign there that reminds you of your favorite characters from the novel.

Gorky Park

It is beautiful at any time of the year. But during the winter holidays this place becomes magical.

Or you can take a hot coffee or mulled wine and stroll along the busy embankment, enjoying the lights of the capital. For lovers of outdoor activities, Gorky Park has a skating rink where you can take romantic photos.
