Novodevichy Convent and Sparrow Hills Observation Deck in Moscow, Russia

Thanks for joining another video of our trip to Moscow, the massive and historic capital of the Russian Federation - or, more commonly, simply Russia!

This video is a compilation of clips - first, several from Novodevichy Convent just outside the city center and right near the "Sportivnaya" Metro stop. The cloister was originally founded in 1524 - the same time frame from which the main cathedral, Cathedral of our Lady in Smolensk, dates from. The history of the convent is quite interesting and worth researching - and certainly worth visiting as it is hauntingly beautiful!

Afterward we head further south on the Metro using the 1 line (red on the map), we stop at Vorobyovy Gory which translates to Sparrow Hills! Here there is a nice promenade area along the Moskva River, but the main site is after a roughly 30 minute walk up the hill to the observation deck - this area provides a nice view of the entire city, and just behind you sits the imposing Moscow State University.

Hope you enjoy the video!
