On May holidays, traditionally, the summer cottage season opens, so most residents of the capital, taking advantage of the long weekends, strive to leave the noisy and stuffy metropolis and spend holidays in nature. But if there is no opportunity to leave the city, you should not despair, and in Moscow there are many places for a great pastime.
For lovers of wildlife, VVC offers its services, on the territory of which you can have a great time in a real fishing village. Even the most inveterate fishermen of the capital have a rare opportunity to get to the shore of a quiet reservoir and cook fish soup over a fire. Here, without leaving the Moscow Ring Road, you can catch 15-kilogram fish, and experienced chefs will prepare a delicious dish from it according to one of the old recipes. At 10 kilometers of Dmitrovskoe highway, there are beautiful grounds where everyone can practice falconry. Mastery lessons are taught by professionals who will teach the basics and show in practice how to communicate with falcons and hawks: hold them in your hand, train them, feed them, let them fly. A real old steam locomotive will carry it around Moscow, or go to nearby cities, no less famous for their cultural heritage. A ride on a retro train will take you back to the past of Russia. For a joint holiday with children, we recommend the dolphinarium and the zoo, which offer their services as excursions and conversations. Here children and adults will get acquainted with the diversity of fauna, methods of nature protection and environmental problems. With the arrival of spring, the season of passenger navigation on the Moskva River opens. Such a trip will allow you to take a break from Moscow traffic jams and contemplate the cultural center of the capital. On this trip, residents and guests of the metropolis will discover a previously unknown Moscow. For fans of sports recreation, horseback riding will be an excellent option. You can ride horses at equestrian sports bases, hippodromes under the guidance of instructors. For free riding, horses are rented at any of the small private stables.
