Chill, vibrant, and cost-effective, this date is perfect for couples who love exploring the city's hidden gems and want an activity that's out of the box. Brace yourselves for a day full of co…
- Start your date with a self-guided street art tour. Starting from MOSKVARIVUM Art Condominium, a buzzing hub of contemporary Russian art, absorb the creative vibes from the various graffiti, murals, and installations that are found in streets and courtyards. A must-visit is the Mohamed Ali mural on Tsvetnoy Boulevard.
- After exploring this vibrant avenue, proceed to Kitay-gorod where you will find the striking artworks of Moscow's leading street artists. Be sure to capture photos of these eye-catching urban pieces. Don't leave without visiting ArtPlay, where the 'wall to tear' mural is found.
- Cap your art tour with a relaxing picnic at Gorky Central Park. Unpack your pre-prepared meal and enjoy conversations as you share your thoughts and interpretation of the artworks that you've just witnessed.
Preparation steps:
- To prepare for your date, do some research online for a map or itinerary of the best street art spots in Moscow. You can include in your route the various neighborhoods that offer an array of visuals. Also, prepare a small picnic basket with light snacks and drinks.
- Since this date involves a great deal of walking, wear comfortable shoes and attire suitable for the weather. Don't forget to bring an umbrella or poncho in case of rain. Lastly, make sure to have your phone or camera fully charged for all the photos you'd want to capture.
- In terms of transport, public transport will be your best bet from one location to another. Familiarize yourself with Moscow's Metro system and plot out the best routes for your tour.
Some tips:
- Street art is constantly changing so don't be disappointed if a piece you've been looking forward to seeing has been replaced or covered. The surprise is part of the experience.
- Don't be shy to interact with the local artists - if they're around. They usually are happy to discuss their work and you might get insights into the Moscow art scene that you wouldn’t otherwise discover.
- Remember to respect the artworks and the locations they are in. Street art is a form of expression and for some people, a way of life. While it is great to capture moments with these creative pieces, always be considerate and conscious of your actions.
