Travelling to Moscow? These are must-visit spots for your Autumn holiday

In early autumn Moscow is an inspiring place to visit. This time of year gives a special charm to one of Moscow’s most romantic corners – Patriarch’s Ponds.
Patriarch's Ponds is in the affluent residential area of the Presnensky District. Contrary to what its name suggests, it is actually only one pond but over 200 years ago it is assumed that there were more. The pond today covers just under 1000 square metres and its depth is around two metres. This popular spot became world-famous when Mikhail Bulgakov described it in one of Russian literature's best-loved novels: 'The Master and Margarita". This book was written during the Soviet era and the pond was one of its main settings. For a romantic stroll in the open air, the pond and its surrounding areas are a must-see. It also becomes an ice-rink during winter and is home to swans during the summer.
