How to Get to Revolution Square, Moscow#
Revolution Square (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) is in central Moscow next to Red Square and the Bolshoi Theatre. The most convenient way is the Moscow Metro - exit at Ploshchad Revolyutsii (Площадь Революции) station and you are essentially on the square; the neighbouring Teatralnaya and Okhotny Ryad stations are also a short walk away. If driving, approach via central streets (for example Tverskaya or Mokhovaya) but expect heavy central-city traffic and limited nearby parking.
Tips for Visiting Revolution Square, Moscow#
- Go very early on weekday mornings or after typical business hours to see the square with far fewer tourists - it sits beside Red Square and is busiest midday with crushes flowing from the Kremlin and nearby attractions.
- Use the nearby Metro stops (Ploshchad Revolyutsii, Okhotny Ryad or Teatralnaya) to reach the square; these put you right into the area and avoid long surface-walking routes from farther stations.
- Combine your visit with a short walk to the adjacent Bolshoi Theatre, Red Square and Nikolskaya Street so you get context for the square rather than treating it as a single stop - the central location makes this efficient.
Best Time to Visit Revolution Square, Moscow#
Go late spring through early autumn for the mildest weather and busiest but liveliest experience.
