Districts

Tverskoy
The central district that runs north from the Kremlin along Tverskaya Street: theaters, cafes and several metro lines close by. Tverskaya is crossed mostly by underpass, and everyday food shopping means small shops more than large supermarkets.
Arbat
The pedestrian Old Arbat is busy with visitors, while the lanes around it are quiet and residential. New Arbat is a wide avenue that cuts the district in two, and large parks are a metro ride away, with the boulevards as the nearest green.
Ramenki
A south-western district that takes in Moscow State University, with wide avenues, newer housing and a lot of greenery. The distances are long, so the walk to the metro or a school varies a great deal from one building to the next.

A Moscow neighborhoods map shows names and borders, not what a walk is like. In the center the questions are noise and crossings: how many underpasses lie between the door and the metro, and whether there is a courtyard or a boulevard to sit in. In the south-west the question is how far the station and the clinic are.

For a family, check the walk to the school and the kindergarten, since schools give priority to children registered nearby. Without a car, count every metro and rail station in reach before you look at which one is nearest.
