    Lovely Place in the heart of Moscow. Hip crowd of people, enjoying life - at least in summer. Not big, but such a magnet for people with dogs, lovers in their own love bubble, future Instagram stars posing and many more.

    (Translated by Google) Great place to walk. There are many good cafes nearby. When walking everything was clean. In winter you can even see people skating. (Original) Отличное место для прогулок.

    Love this magic and mysterious place. Believe its reputation is mostly due to the famous masterpiece. But there is something about it, something enigmatic. Even my phone did not cope and camera went off. But beautiful. Swans Doesn't really feel you are in the city centre. And always a lot of people there, 24/7

    The blend of natural beauty and well-designed spaces is a testament to the city's commitment to creating harmonious environments. A must-visit for both locals and tourists seeking a breath of fresh air amidst the urban landscape.

  • 5/5 Константин �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Magical place! Excellent area of ​​Moscow, next to Mayakovskaya metro station. Of course, it is very pleasant to walk there slowly, thinking about your own. Life is also not bad.) I think many associate the place with Mikhail Bulgakov's novel The Master and Margarita. I would like to note the change in the "concept", as the cafe administrator put it, in one of the local catering establishments. We made a remake a la European style ... It's just awful. Food counter, like in a cheap Turkish hotel. There is no fundamental, no connection to this historical and mystical place. Everything is finished with the cheapest materials, the menu, in my opinion, is like from a canteen, service is not enthusiastic. Fast and callous, soulless ... Moscow has changed a lot, this is noticeable in all aspects of life. (Original) Волшебное место! Отличный район Москвы, рядом с метро Маяковская. Конечно, там очень приятно неспешно гулять, думая о своём. Жить тоже неплохо.) Место думаю у многих ассоциируется с романом Михаила Булгакова «Мастер и Маргарита». Хочется отметить изменение «концепции», как выразился администратор кафе, в одном из местных предприятий общественного питания. Сделали новодел а-ля по-европейски... Просто ужас. Стойка с едой, как в дешёвых турецких отелях. Нет фундаментальности, нет никакой привязки к этому историческому и мистическому месту. Всё отделано самыми дешёвыми материалами, меню на мой взгляд - как из столовой, обслуживание без энтузиазма. Быстро и чёрство, бездушно... Поменялась Москва очень сильно, это заметно во всех проявлениях жизни.

    A quiet historical microdistrict of Moscow, located in the central part of the city, not far from the Garden Ring. This is a comfortable recreation area, where there is a pond and a picturesque square surrounding the pond. Shady alleys stretch along the coast, which are adjoined by old alleys with cozy Moscow courtyards. Historical sights are located on the streets and lanes adjacent to the park complex. These are mansions, estates, tenement houses built by prominent Moscow architects. Patriarch's Ponds are well known not only to Muscovites, but also to all admirers of M. A. Bulgakov's work, including those who have never been to the capital. It was at the Patriarch's that the mystical events of the novel "The Master and Margarita" took place, which, thanks to the talent of the author, brought an atmosphere of mysterious mystery into the real life of the capital.

    Peaceful and great place to walk around. Famous and historic. Highly recommended to visit, walk or sit down and watch the people and the birds. Enjoy and visit!

  • 3/5 Curt I. 2 years ago on Google • 254 reviews
    I guess I was expecting more. It was more or less a retaining pond with a nice building on one side and a couple of swans swimming. It's surrounded on the other three sides by a tiny park. We were there very early in the morning so everything was closed, but it looked like there were some nice restaurants in the area.

    Mein absoluter Lieblingsort in ganz Moskau. Dieser Ort strahlt so eine Ruhe und Romantik aus, dass ich es nicht mit Worten zu beschreiben vermag. Ich liebe es einfach!!!

  • 5/5 Drazen H. 2 years ago on Google • 37 reviews
    I can’t resist the thought that the area of the pond should be better used as a children playground or just as a simple urban green area, but that thought does not diminish the beauty of the pond and the park. It is somehow in contrast with elegant and posh Malaya Bronaya street and busy Garden Circle Road nearby. And however you feel busy and distressed, there should always be time for an easy and relaxed walk around the pond.

  • 2/5 Полина �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I am angry with people who opposed the installation of sculptures dedicated to Bulgakov's work. What now stands in the park - monuments to Krylov's fables - are just rubbish. (Original) Злюсь на людей, которые выступали против установки скульптур, посвященных творчеству Булгакова. То, что сейчас стоит в парке - памятники басням Крылова - просто мусор.

  • 4/5 дмитрий �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Patriarch's Ponds and Patrick's, the place is somewhat overrated, both by developers and tourists and Bulgakov's amateurs. Especially here you can generally not go. But if you suddenly find yourself in the center, in these parts ... And you will not rush anywhere, then I sincerely advise you to wander around the bush. See and feel the beauty of these alleys (Original) Патриаршие пруды и Патрики, место несколько переоценёное, как дивелоперами так и туристами и любителями Булгакова. Специально сюда можно вобщем и не ехать. Но если вдруг окажетесь в центре, в этих краях.... И не будете никуда спешить, то искренне советую, побродите вокруг да около. Увидеть и почувствуйте прелесть этих переулков

    (Translated by Google) A very beautiful place for walking, from spring to autumn you can admire a couple of swans, which, one might say, are permanent residents of this beautiful place. You can also walk past the characters of the towers of I.A. Krylov, as well as the fabulist himself, that the sculpture stands in the same place. (Original) Очень красивое место для прогулок, с весны и до осени можно полюбоваться парой лебедей, которые, можно сказать, постоянные жители этого прекрасного места. Также можно пройтись мимо персонажей башен И.А.Крылова, а также самого баснописца, что скульптура стоит там же.

    Not too bad, there are pretty locations to take pictures, there are a lot of nice restaurants in the area, but its hard to get on the rink itself (the frozen pond), since there are no stair just a slide.
