In September, progress in the tourist sphere has reached Moscow! As in all cities in Europe, two-story excursion buses City Sihgtseeng appeared in Moscow. Of course, we did not pass by this event and decided to make a tour on the red two-story bus in the Beauty of Moscow.
It is clear that the ride around the Kremlin is difficult for me, but congenital curiosity won. The appearance of excursion buses City Sihgtseeng is an unconditional breakthrough, in many european cities Such buses exist for a long time. But in Moscow can not be everything, as in Europe, because we have our secrets.
How did the organizers solve the issue of traffic jams? What do we show tourists in Moscow, except the Kremlin?
In general, let's go!
Task number1. Choose time for excursion
Opening hours of a two-story bus: from 10-00 to 18-00 on weekdays, from 10-00 to 19-00 on weekends.
The ticket operates 24 hours and cost 600 rubles for me.
I went on an excursion on weekdays from 17-00 to 18-00, and naturally the bus was standing for some time in traffic jams. To smallerly breathe exhaust gases, I advise you to travel on an excursion on weekends, or on weekdays in daytime.
By the way, there are also night excursions: from 20-00 to 21-30 on weekdays, from 19-30 to 22-00 on weekends.
Task number 2. How to find a red excursion bus
I managed to find a stop at the very beginning of the bus movement - on the Bolotnaya Square. As she looks like, you can see in the photo. A small inconspicuous red pillar near the monuments, opposite the bridge before the Tretyakovka, on which numerous trees are located with castles.
In my opinion, it is more convenient to get on the bus at the "Theater Square" stop, which is located opposite the Bolshoi Theater. Here and the subway is near, and it is difficult to stop the stop, or rather the bus itself.
Detect other stops rather problematic, as they do not have any identification signs.
Task number 3. Clear prices
Ticket cost for one day: Adult 800 rubles., Children under 13, students and retirees - 600 rubles.
The cost of tickets for two days: adults (14-59): 1000 rubles, children (6-13 years old): 800 rubles, pensioners (60+): 800 rubles, students -800 rub.
This cost includes the following bonuses: free headphones, a lot of free cards and guidebooks in Moscow on the first floor of the bus, a 10% discount with a ticket for services City-tour in other cities. Also on the first floor, a cute guy offers to take advantage of walking on a plan, which will not hurt in a cool day.
Excursion is held in two languages \u200b\u200b- Russian and English.
And this is a surprise! Apparently, the French, Germans, Spaniards, Japanese, etc. do not go to us, etc. ... But we demand that in any hotel in the world they talked to us in Russian!
Task number 4. Clear the route of the excursion bus
Currently there are two bus routes.
Route №1 - Bolotnaya embankment,scherafimovich St., Prechistenskaya Embankment, Volkhonka St., Gogolevsky Boulevard, Arbatskaya Square, ul. Naznamenka, ul.Mhovahova, st. Vasilyevsky descent), Balchug Street, Sofia Embankment
Route №2. - Bolotnaya embankment, ul. Serafimovich, ul.Mhovahova, ul. Vozdvizhenka, st. New Arbat, Kutuzovsky Avenue, Ukrainian Boulevard, Taras Shevchenko Embankment, ul. Big Dorogomilovskaya, ul. Smolenskaya, Smolenskaya Square, Smolensk Boulevard, Smolensk Square, Novinsky Boulevard, ul. New Arbat, Gogol Boulevard, Soymansky passage, ul. Znamenka, ul. Mokhovaya, Street row, theater area, theatrical passage, Lubyanskaya Square, New Square, ul. Ilyinka, Red Square, ul. Swamp, Bolotnaya Square, Sofia Embankment, ul. Balchug, Loby Lane.
We tried the route number 1.
Bus route No. 1 includes 18 stops, the full circle lasts about 40 minutes. See the map below.
View City Tour on Larger Card
As can be seen from the route, all these attractions can be found in 40 minutes. I do not understand the need for such a bus on such a route. Usually excursion buses ride big circlePass this route, which tourist himself may not master. Well, for example, does not know how to get to the subway to all the attractions. Or simply fails to make a route. And therefore, he comes, pays about 20 euros in Europe and he is given a tour in his native language, a well-planned route and a complete picture of the city.
We need to know English or Russian and think that in Moscow the sights are the Kremlin and Mega.
Feel, again the Russian spirit smells. The main thing that was done, reported, tick was put. And about those who will use it miraculously thinking optional.
I'm going, go, I'm going
The bus found, the ticket bought, armed with guidebooks, prepared to listen. Another task is to find a running radio point. How it is not strange, but some have not worked. And this is provided that the excursion route has been launched about a month ago. It is good that the people on the bus were not very much, and the place could be chosen. The bus during my trip was filled in percent for 20, while the first floor was absolutely empty. Not a season.
Honestly, I finished a few things during a trip.
The route in my opinion is very short, the circle could be more and more.
Everything is very standard: Big Theater - the Kremlin - the Church of Christ the Savior. The text read on the audio guide is also very mediocre. And where is the rest? Where is the Moscow modern and vintage alleys? Where are the parks and museums?
The organizers, because of those like you, many people think that in Moscow there are only red square, traffic jams and all pushed. This wonderful route will strengthen this idea in the minds of people.
Is there any sightseeing tour in Moscow, from the City Tour in Barcelona or Paris? The two-storey bus one in one is the same. The only difference is the presence of roof and anti-vandally-arranged radio.
There is no decoration of stops in Moscow, whereas in other cities, tourists are clear, where there is still a stop.
There are also not enough non-stationary information points in which any information about the tours could be taken.
Also in Moscow, it is necessary to be ready for traffic jams, and to what you have to absorb the exhaust gases of cars in them in huge quantities.
But there are positive impressions. From the height of the second floor of the bus I did nice photos, I especially liked the street spans and views of the Kremlin from the Zamoskvoretsky bridge.
Of all the above, we can conclude that in Moscow really began to do something to develop tourism. But while we are standing at the very beginning of the path.
Well, waiting for the emergence of new routes, because the organizers promise that they will soon appear.

Gasoline operating, originates in the 19th century. Since then, this type of mechanical transport has undergone significant changes and has gained great popularity in different areas of life. And this is not surprising - the bus is convenient to use, spacious, and its modern models offer maximum comfortable conditions.
One of the most interesting models of this transport is a two-storey bus. At one time, it was created to increase the passenger capacity on London roads. Now such a bus is rarely used as urban transport, but found excellent use in the tourist sphere.
Double-decker bus It is intended mainly for the carriage of sitting passengers, but it has features for long distances. A special advantage during excursions are those who sits on the top floor and has the opportunity to inspect the surroundings. Some models of transport have an open top, which really like to tourists, but not suitable for rainy days.
The advantages of the bus with two floors are obvious. It accommodates twice as many passengers than the usual; has high maneuverability and dynamics; Has high attractiveness for tourists. There is an erroneous opinion about the inclination of these buses to tipping, but, in fact, all of them are equipped with an antioxidal mechanism.
It is worth considering that a two-storey bus has a number of inconvenience. In particular, high garage of high height and development of a route that excludes low bridges and the proximity of trees.
Now two-storey buses produce several companies. different countries. Among them are the Swedish Volvo Concern, the German company MAN and its subsidiary Neoman, as well as the German producer of Mersedes-Benz buses.
Travel companies willingly use MAN bus excursions. The MAN WAGON Union model has a large shift roof, which allows for the warm season to overcome distant distances. This model is used exclusively as a tourist bus.
For a large group of passengers, MAN JONCKHEERE model is perfect. It is designed for 75 seating, equipped with air conditioning, microphone, dvd-system and toilet.
An even greater capacity is the model MAN Lion, S City DD, designed for 85 passengers. This bus is an embodiment of transport comfort. It provides places and ramps for people with disabilities, wide passages, a spacious coofer with folding backs, two stairs. Moreover, the staircase on the rear site is arranged so that you can go right away at the second floor, bypassing the first. The bus has three broad entrances and a low-blooded floor without steps. The height of this model is more than 4 meters, so the review from the second floor gives stunning sensations. Driving a bus is solid pleasure - everything is aimed at reducing fatigue and distraction of the driver. Behind the work of the liner "Watch" a special computer program.
The two-storey bus is increasingly implemented in the tourist sphere, as it pays for its costs. Tourists always prefer Dubdkener to travel. In addition, he wins due to a large capacity.
Moscow - Majestic and incredibly beautiful, excursion routes Can be the most diverse, fascinating and truly exciting.
