About VDNH

The acronym is short; the walk grows fast. At VDNH, the main avenue leads past pavilions and the Friendship of Nations Fountain area. Choose this axis to take in Soviet architecture before going into any exhibitions.

The Stone Flower Fountain adds a flower-shaped composition with sculptural details. The water is seasonal: in the cold, don't expect the jets from the summer photos. Pavilions and attractions may have separate tickets; the outdoor walk is the basis of this itinerary.
