Moscow Metro. Park Kultury VS Kropotkinskaya

To reach Ostozhenka you may choose any metro station either Park Kultury or Kropotkinskaya.
We've chosen Park Kultury.

Park Kultury was opened in 1935 as a station of the first metro line (Sokolnicheskaya). It was named after the park which is situated near this metro station and has the same name. To find that park you should cross the bridge over Moskva-river. (about that Park we'll speak later))
The metro station has, so to say, two stations - the 1st one is on the red line, the 2nd - on the brown ring (was opened in 1950). (Circle line, or Koltsevaya).

Kropotkinskaya station was also opened in 1935 as one of the 1st metro stations, it is next to Park Kultury.
There is also much to explore around it : Gogolevsky Boulevard which goes to Arbat, in front of the metro is the famous Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, near it the Pushkin Museum.
