Moscow, Russia - Part 2 - Izmailovsky Market and Victory Park

Lets chat a minute about the Moscow Metro (7th most complicated world wide). The signs are obviously in Russian but some of the maps have the English spelling underneath for those that can not read Russian version. Luckily for me, I was in the company of a native Russian, Thanks Inna! I can read the Russian alphabet and understand the sounds so if Will and I were to do this trip on our own, we would manage. After all, we did master the Tokyo and Osaka stations in Japan with are number 3 and 13 most complicated :-)

Here's a map of this beauty!

On Sunday, We headed to the Izmailovsky Markets in the morning with Hannah and her mom as well. These markets were so cool. All sorts of Russian trinkets and souvenirs to be bought and looked upon. The markets were located on the upper portion of the Blue Line. We stayed on Tverskaya Street located on the Green line in the northwestern side if the circle. We walked through a few lines underground to get to the Blue Line.

The architecture here is absolutely fabulous!!

SOOOO MANY COLORS!!! Walking through the Izmailovsky Kremlin reminded me of the "It's A Small World" ride in Disney. This place almost looked fake because of how old and colorful it is.

Next stop on the day trip was the Museum to the Great Patriotic War (WWII) in Victory Park (called Park Pobedy on the other end of the Blue Line if you look at the map again). We went all over the place. 

I thought I would try and squeeze the WWII Museum in this post but it deserves its own.

Stay tuned for more to come
