About Moscow (Russia) 1:15,000 Street Map, Laminated

Moscow (Russia) 1:15,000 Street Map, laminated BORCH This double-sided, soft-laminated (thus waterproof) folded map of Moscow features: Moscow Centre plan at 1:15,000, Kremlin at 1:7,500, overview map of Greater Moscow 1:100,000, Public Transport diagram, Russia administrative map with time zones, and a list of 30 Sights (numbered in the map). The map shows hotels, museums, monuments, markets, public transport, top sights and points of interest. It also provides useful statistics, conversion chart for temperatures, weights and measurements, climate chart showing temperatures, sunshine hours, precipitation and humidity, and much more... All street and place names are Latinized, only the Metro diagram shows both real (Russian) station names and their Latinized version. Besides the fact that modern Moscow is Europe's most populous city and home to the world's largest community of billionaires plus some 12 million other residents, it also has a vast history, which is dramatic, diverse and sometimes downright tragic. This northernmost megacity on earth has witnessed many political eras, yet still serves as Russia's loyal capital. Moscow is also Russia's centre of heavy and light engineering, as well as of publishing, music, science and education. The Moskva is the only river that actually flows through Moscow city, but the Volga, Kama, Oka and Dvina rivers flow through Moscow oblast or district/region. Not to mention that with four international airports, nine railway stations and world-famous Moscow metro stations, it's no surprise that this is a major transport hub. Its architecture is also renowned, e.g. the Kremlin, which means fortress or citadel, is the official residence of the Russian president. Interesting onion-domed churches and architectural and cultural sights, parks and gardens also make Moscow a fascinating city worth visiting.
