I live in Moscow. It's an ancient historical city. It was founded in 1147 by Russian prince Yuri Dolgorukiy. Now Moscow is the fifth largest city in the world, its population is over 9 million people. It is a colourful and pulsating metropolis with innumerable places of interest and never-ending charm. Moscow is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The centre of Moscow is the Kremlin which was built on the left bank of the Moskva River. A boat trip on this river will open to you such city’s beauties as the Novodevichy monastery, Gorky Park and the Kremlin. Among the historical monuments inside the Kremlin there are the Cannon Tsar and the Bell Tsar -(both are the largest in the world), made by Russian masters, the Armoury Chamber, the Archangel, the Assumption and the Annunciation Cathedrals.
The Kremlin is a real masterpiece of architecture. In Red Square, near the Kremlin there is St. Basil’s Cathedral – another masterpiece of architecture.
Visitors, can find a lot of other places of interest in Moscow, such as the Moscow University area and the observation platform from which you can see a panorama of Moscow and all the monumental buildings. Moscow metro is a unique masterpiece of its kind. There is no other city in the world where every metro station is a stunning work of art. Other places of interest that attract tourists are Arbat Street and the Exhibition area. There are also a lot of museums and art galleries in Moscow. The most famous and popular art museums are the Tretyakov Art Gallery and the Pushkin Fine Arts Museum. There are a lot of theatres and concert halls in Moscow. The most popular theatres are the world-famous Bolshoi Theatre, the Maly Theatre, the Puppet Theatre named after Obraztsov, the Chaikovsky Concert Hall and many others. The Sovremennik theatre is known to stage only plays written in the last several decades. The Lenkom theatre is famous for its rock-operas, a rather exotic genre on Russian stage.
Among the new sights that have appeared recently are the Monument on Poklonnaya Mount and the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in the centre of Moscow.
One can never have enough of Moscow. It takes just one visit to Moscow to fall in love with the city. Moscow is a magnificent city. I like our capital its hospitable people!
London draws people from all over the world. Some come on business, some come to study, to work or on holiday. London is naturally a very English city and it is very cosmopolitan, containing goods, food and entertainment, as well as people, from many countries of the world. London spreads its influence over much of the southern areas of England; it gives work to millions of people who live not only in the inner city areas but in surrounding districts. There is much in London which fascinates visitors and inspires the affection of Londoners: the splendor of the royal palaces and the Houses of Parliament, the dignity of St. Paul's Cathedral and many monuments and beautiful parks. London shows examples of buildings that express all the different areas of its history. Buckingham Palace is the official London residence of the Sovereign. The daily ceremony of the Changing of the Guards takes place in its courtyard. The palace was built in 1703 by the Duke of Buckingham. Piccadilly Circus has become an important meeting point - for as well as sightseers. At its heart is a bronze fountain topped by a figure of a winded archer, known as Eros, the pagan god of love. This area is now famous for its theatres, clubs and shops. Whitehall is a street in central London running from Trafalgar Square to the Houses of Parliament and containing many important buildings and government offices, such as the Treasury, Admiralty and others. In the centre of the roadway stands the Cenotaph, the memorial to the fallen of both world wars. The Prime Minister's residence at No. 10 Downing Street is directly connected to Whitehall. London is always full of life. The streets are crowded with traffic. High 'double-decker' buses rise above the smaller cars and vans. The city of London today is the financial powerhouse of the country and one of the chief commercial centers of the western world. The city has its own Lord Major, its own Government and its own police force. Here the medieval buildings stand side by side with modern glass high-rise offices. The parks of London provide a welcome contrast to the great built-up areas. St.James's Park, Green Park, Hyde Park, and Kensington Gardens are linked together. They form 313 hectares of open parkland in the heart of London.
