Guidebook for Москва
Shopping
This is my favourite shopping center in Moscow, the best one in Moscow imho. It has all shops needed, a gigantic(!) fish aquarium and also has a nice food court (advise you to try Pho Bo soup, you might have already tried it, but its a trend in Moscow) Has Moscow's favourite shop Auchan, where mostly all Russian from rich to poor shop for food on weekends
You can get there by taxi (approx. 250 RUB), or wait for a free bus near Polezhaevskaya metro station (I know it exists, I once waited for it but the free bus never came, advise you taking the cab.)
Everything that is free of charge or close to it works bad in Russia, just so you know :)

Moscow metro station. This is the main transport system of Moscow. It is said, that our metro was built as a bomb shelter during WWII, so each metro station has its unique story and style that you can explore by yourself

Grocery store. Has everything you might need, cheap, close to home but somewhat low quality
Pyatyorochka

Liquor store. You can buy alcohol almost in every shop in Moscow, but this one has better variety. Fairly good selection of wines, affordable price.
If you are into beer - ask me, I`ll tell you which brands you should not buy, because there are so few good ones

Parks & Nature
I love this park. It has views, nature, fresh air and a beach (ask me for navigation if you want to go swimming). Perfect for bicycle rides and sightseeing. Rumour has it that president Putin has a country house (so called "dacha") here. It is good for walks and sunbathing, but other than that not much is happening here.

A must-see. Best park of Moscow, said to be one of the largest in Europe. Has regular events such as concerts, sporting activities and parties. Popular with people of all age. When I was growing up this park was a terrible forgotten dump, but then local authorities got the finances to rebuild it from scratch, and now it is the best place to be.

Oldest food shop. Looks and feels grand if you ask me. Also there is the first McDonalds restaurant of Russia across the street, has interesting memorabilia at the entrance. Having a McD restaurant was a HUGE thing back in the 1990-s
