Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, Moscow

It's a wonderful place, although this cathedral was rebuild and the frescoes are very new. The interior is amazing in the good tradition of a orthodox church, full of lovely icons and paintings. It was new to me that the sacred space was inside a chapel and not behind an altarpiece decorated with icons. We can feel the respect and devotion of people, despite the amount of tourists. We also visit the crypt. It is a fabulous and quiet place. In dim light we can breathe the Orthodox Christian spirituality. It is a beautiful place. Fortunately it is not a known place for tourists.

What a marvelous architecture. The church is located opposite to the Kremlin Moscow. You will need to walk 1.5 Km approx to reach there. The traffic can be really fast but you have sufficient walkways to cross over to the other side of the Kremlin. You can explore its park which is big and a good place to spend a peaceful time. You can enter the church free of cost and it looks beautiful inside. If you want to reach the rooftop of the cathedral you will need to pay 400 rubles for it. You can make payments by cash or cards to capture some stunning views of the Moscow city. Be prepared to climb the terrace using stairs. They do have provision for lifts however, it seems they don't go direct. You need to be patient. Around the cathedral, you can also book tickets for cruise boats.
