The entertainment program starts at 21.00, the menu can be chosen to suit every taste, as well as the ship and the range of services. And watching the New Year's fireworks from the water is top class: no one will interfere with watching and filming, and you can quickly retreat to a warm restaurant hall!

New Year on Red Square in Moscow

Festive festivities are held on Red Square every year (the only exception was last year (due to the pandemic they were not held), and this year they will begin at 22.00 on December 31 and end at 2.00 on January 1, 2022.

You can usually see in the square

• congratulations to Father Frost and Snow Maiden,
• New Year's concert,
• Laser show.

All New Year's holidays are open on the square

• New Year's fair,
• attractions,
• skating rink next to GUM.

All this works on New Year's Eve. There are three ways to get to Red Square:

• by invitation cards,
• on a first-come, first-served basis (in which you can stand for several hours),
• by purchasing a ticket to the skating rink from GUM.

The only place that everyone is guaranteed to get to is the skating rink next to GUM. By the way, it is better to buy tickets there in advance (usually they are already on sale in late November - early December), because the skating rink is not rubber, and there are too many people who want to listen to the chimes.

Tickets to the skating rink near GUM this New Year's Eve will cost 2,022 rubles: every year they rise in price by a ruble, that is, they cost exactly the same as the numbers in the New Year. Sometimes this becomes the only easy way to get to Red Square on New Year's Day.

If you were unable to get to Red Square, go to any place you like next to it, from where you can see the Spasskaya Tower (look at the map below):

• Manezhnaya Square,
• Sofia Embankment (from here, by the way, it will be convenient to watch the fireworks, but more on that below),
• Zaryadye Park,
• streets leading to the square - Ilyinka, Nikolskaya

How to get to Red Square on New Year's Eve

The only acceptable means of transportation around New Year's Moscow is the metro. Ground and personal transport will not help you: Moscow is blocked. And the metro operates all night from December 31 to January 1. On the night of January 6–7 (Christmas), the metro is open until 2 am.

Christmas markets

In the 2020-2021 season, the Journey to Christmas festival and Christmas markets will not be held due to the epidemiological situation.

Moscow seasons are the transformation of the city as the seasons change, which has already become a tradition. Every three months, the capital changes its outfits and opens themed areas for its residents and guests.

“Journey to Christmas” is the name of the festival, which starts in Moscow in December.

there are 81 festive venues in Moscow in the 2020/2021 season

Beautiful decorations, tents with unusual crafts and souvenirs from 50 regions of the country and from other countries, interesting events and a cheerful mood - all this greets visitors at the festival, which lasts until mid-January.

The largest venues are traditionally located in the city center - on Red, Tverskaya, Manezhnaya squares and on Revolution Square. Entrance to the territory is absolutely free.

If you go to the central fairs, be sure to stop by GUM . Its decoration is done by real professionals. Every year it surprises visitors with new ideas and unique decorations. Well, and of course, don’t forget to try the branded Gumov ice cream there.

The program of the Journey to Christmas festival is very diverse. This will be of interest to everyone:

• For those who have not yet had time to buy gifts, there are souvenir shops. This year, Christmas gifts and sweet treats from Europe await you at the transition from Manezhnaya Square to Revolution Square.
• , a snowboarding hill is open on Novy Arbat . Children aged 7 years and older can ride for free and take master classes from snowboarding stars. A children's snowboard park is open on the same site - for children from 3 years old.
• Theatergoers will appreciate the productions and concerts that will be held at a variety of venues.
• A huge number of master classes will attract those who love development. The topics are varied: from culinary courses to acting.
• Ice shows staged by Evgeni Plushenko will be held at the open-air skating rink near Revolution Square .
• Zaryadye Park will host free concerts of popular bands: Brainstorm, Zdob si Zdub, Mgzavrebi, etc.
• Those who just want to have fun can ride the slides, skating rinks or play a quest.

Most events are free, others require a ticket. Sometimes you should sign up for the chosen entertainment in advance, since there are a lot of people who want to participate. You can find the addresses and posters of events on the official website of the Moscow Mayor.

New Year in Moscow parks: public events

In addition to Red Square, there are many popular places in Moscow where celebrating the New Year will also be pleasant, spectacular and interesting:

• Zaryadye Park
• Gorky Park
• Hermitage Garden
• VDNH
• Sparrow Hills
• Sokolniki Park"
• Izmailovsky Park
• Victory Park on Poklonnaya Hill
• Kuzminki-Lublino Park
• Tagansky Park
• Arbat
• Tverskaya.

All these places are united by the fact that New Year's festivities take place here, there are skating rinks, ice slides, and they usually host performances by artists and the launch of New Year's fireworks (more on this below).

Moreover, it is a mistake to believe that you can come here only on New Year’s Eve; during the day there are also many New Year’s events, the poster is full of surprises.

You can come here on any day of the New Year holidays: from 10.00 on December 31 to January 9, the New Year's poster will delight you with variety.

The streets of Arbat, Kuznetsky Most and Tverskaya stand apart here. There will be no fireworks here (as well as an ice skating rink), but there will be fun festivities. And Tverskaya is generally becoming pedestrian, and therefore walking along it will be a real pleasure.

Where should guests of the New Year's Capital go?

It is no coincidence that the New Year is considered a time of miracles. At this time, it is worth opening your heart to the beautiful, bright, eternal and enjoying the opportunities that Moscow opens. If the first day of the new year begins tomorrow, you still don’t know what to do, catch a short digest from us for guests of the New Year’s city with a population of one million.

VDNH

Incredible beauty everywhere - illumination, decoration of fountains, buildings, benches - everything! Here it is, that same New Year's fairy tale that everyone dreams of going to. You can spend the whole day at VDNKh and not be bored for a moment, as there are many interesting objects and the most beautiful nature of the park area. Finally, let's not forget that the above-mentioned largest open-air skating rink in the Russian Federation is located here.

Victory Museum

We always recommend visiting the Victory Museum, but, alas, it will not accept guests during the 2021-2022 holidays. However, you can plan to visit it a little later.

Moscow Kremlin and Red Square

Red Square is the main attraction of the capital and the most visited place. You will definitely see a decorated Christmas tree, an ice skating rink and delicious treats. There will be no mass celebrations this year, but guests and residents of the city will be able to enjoy the New Year’s fireworks, and during the day you can take a walk in a beautiful place with your beloved family members and friends.

Moscow Planetarium

This year the planetarium is hosting a space show for children, Mission Canopus. You can go on a journey with a brave boy Kolya and a robot named Tari across the Galaxy on board the Canopus 2022 ship. You have to find Grandpa Paul, visit different planets and learn many fascinating facts about our Solar System and discover the secrets of the constellations.

The show is unique in its kind, as it represents the integration of acting and dynamic visuals on the dome of the Great Star Hall. Thanks to advanced visualization tools, you will personally touch the Cosmos between December 18 and January 9, 2022.

Izmailovo Kremlin

When planning your New Year's adventure, be sure to visit the Izmailovo Kremlin, which is part of pre-Petrine Moscow. You will get wonderful photos with the palace in the background, which is very reminiscent of a gingerbread house.

You can send a letter to the Moscow estate of Father Frost in the parks

From November 18, 2021, Santa Claus' New Year's mail began working. This event is taking place for the fourth time. Until January 21, 2022, you can write and send a letter to Santa Claus. By the end of winter, New Year's grandfather will send a response to all letters where the return address was indicated. In order for the addressee to receive the letter, you must indicate on the envelope your name, return address with postal code and the recipient to whom the letter is intended (Santa Claus). You can also put a drawing, a New Year's card with congratulations or poems in the envelope.

The postal snowman will deliver all messages to the Moscow estate of Father Frost on a special bus. The Winter Wizard will answer all letters with the specified return address. He will send them before the end of winter.

In addition, you can write a letter to Santa Claus without leaving your home. He got his email last year and aroused great interest among children and their parents. Anyone who wants to send a message online needs to fill out a special form on the website of the grandfather’s Moscow estate: write the text, attach a file with a drawing (optional) and indicate your email address for feedback.

The answer will come within two to three days from the email address: [email protected] It is worth adding it to your contact database in advance so that the letter does not end up in the Spam folder.

You can also send a letter by regular mail. On the envelope you must indicate the recipient's address: 109472, Moscow, Kuzminsky Forest, Volgogradsky Avenue, property 168d, Grandfather Frost. It is also important to remember to write your name and return address with zip code.

Santa Claus reads all the letters very carefully, and also loves to look at children's drawings and is happy when the children write poems to him.

In total, about 1,500 sites are open in the capital.

The largest skating rinks in Moscow:

1. Ice skating rink in Gorky Park . Every year the park is decorated in a special style.

What to do in Moscow for the New Year. Walking route

New Year in Moscow is not only New Year's Eve. Every day there is a feeling of celebration on the streets of the capital. New Year's illumination changes even familiar places beyond recognition, and what can we say about the New Year's mood - you don't even need to create it!

At VDNKh and Gorky Park there are bright light decorations at the central entrances and throughout the territory. In 2021, the improvement of the park near the Northern River Station was completed. Its territory will also be decorated in New Year's style. Among the new products this year is the design of the future Yauza Park: six New Year trees, animal figures, light arches, balls and stars will be installed on the section from the Rostokinsky Aqueduct to Severodvinskaya Street.

New Year trees in Moscow. Poster

In Moscow there is always something to do with a child, especially on New Year’s, when in addition to local and permanent entertainment: circuses, theaters, museums, a zoo, etc. — All kinds of New Year trees are offered to your attention. I’ll tell you in detail where to celebrate the New Year with children in Moscow.

The sale of tickets for the New Year trees has already started. The number of events, as always, is incredibly large, but there is also a rush for tickets, so it is better to buy them in advance: closer to the New Year, the choice will no longer be so large.

All children's Christmas trees are divided primarily by age, so here are some tips for choosing a New Year's holiday:

• pay attention to the duration of the New Year tree : for the little ones, the performance should not be too long so that the child does not get tired.
• choose the genre of the New Year's performance for children : you want a theatrical production on a New Year's theme or a New Year's show (they used to say sideshow).
• decide on the location . To begin with, do you want an intimate celebration in a small room or a huge space with a lot of people? Do you want a traditional Christmas tree with a performance, or, for example, something different - in an aquarium, a circus, and for teenagers they already hold New Year's holidays in clubs and restaurants!
