ViewpointLocal favourite

A free terrace about 60 metres up by the Academy of Sciences building with one of the widest panoramas of the city: the river embankments, the Academy and the Gagarin monument. Komsomolskaya Pravda calls it a secret that few Muscovites know; visitors all go to the Sparrow Hills deck instead.
