Moscow International Business Center (Moscow City)
Москва-Сити
One of Europe's tallest clusters of skyscrapers. Visitors can ride to the top floors of the towers for city views, and the night scenery is especially spectacular.
Moscow City lies on the Moskva River about 4 km west of the city centre, and houses the Federation Tower (east tower at 374 metres), Mercury City Tower, OKO and other supertall buildings. Visitors can go up to the 89th floor of OKO or to observation decks near the Federation Tower, such as Panorama 360 and Moscow City Views. Tickets cost roughly 1,000–2,000 rubles, depending on the venue. The views take in Sparrow Hills, Stalin's skyscrapers and the direction of the Kremlin. The ground floor has the large Aurora shopping centre, and the riverbank is a good spot to photograph the towers' reflections. Delovoy Tsentr or Vystavochnaya metro stations are direct connections. It is advisable to buy observation deck tickets online in advance.
Opening hours
Observation decks about 10:00–23:00 (varies by venue)
