Moscow is a huge city with many districts, streets, squares. The article will provide background and useful information about such a place as Taganskaya Square. After all, many highways, pedestrian crossings, and streets are combined here. Taganka is a prestigious area of the city with its pluses and minuses.

What is it?

If you look at the map of Moscow, you can see that the Tagansky district is located in the Central District. The Kremlin is located two kilometers from Taganskaya Square. The area itself, despite the terrible ecology, a lot of cars, paid parking and the lack of cheap grocery stores, is prestigious. Many Muscovites dream of living here. But let's not talk about it. What is Taganskaya Square? The photo that you will see in the article illustrates not only the highway, but also the famous red building of the Taganka Theater. The Zvyozdochka shopping center attracted the attention of not only citizens, but also guests of the capital in the Soviet years.

If you stand on the "island" of the square, you can see:

• station buildingmetro "Taganskaya" (Koltsevaya);
• building "Taganka Theatre";
• Earth rampart (Garden Ring);
• Zvezdochka shopping center;
• Taganka shopping center;
• lilac houses (17-storey residential buildings following one after another between Taganskaya and Marksistskaya streets) and, if desired, much more.

The above was a brief overview of one of the squares of the capital.

By car or public transport?

Let's figure out where is Taganskaya Square? Metro, as mentioned earlier, "Taganskaya" (Koltsevaya) or "Marxist". When you enter the city, you will immediately get to where you need to go. It remains only to solve the question: "Where do you need to specifically?".

Trolleybuses No. 26 and No. 27 run along Volgogradsky Prospekt, stopping at Marksistskaya Street and Taganskaya Square (trolleybus No. 27). From the side of Taganskaya street, as well as Nizhegorodskaya and Ryazansky avenues, there are fixed-route taxis, trolleybuses and buses (numbers: 63, 16, 56 and others).

Trolleybus "B" runs along the Garden Ring Road, but there are no stops on Taganskaya Square itself, you can just admire the views from the window.

If you go by car, you can get to Taganskaya Square from such objects as:

• People's Street;
• Big Masons;
• Marxist street;
• Taganskaya street;
• Solzhenitsyon the street;
• Vorontsovskaya street;
• Earth rampart (Garden Ring).

Motorists need to remember thatTaganskaya Square (Moscow) is a very complex transport hub. It is recommended for beginners to use the navigator and be careful, watch the signs and signs.

How to get to Matronushka?

Very, very often you will meet people with flowers. It is safe to say that they are on their way to the Intercession Monastery. Maybe that's why Taganka is so popular?

Unfortunately, Matronushka's admirers constantly go in the wrong direction. Whoever decides to go to the Intercession Monastery for the first time, carefully read the following few sentences.

No matter how you arrive by metro ("Taganskaya" or "Marksistskaya"), focus on the seventeen-story lilac building. To his left is Taganskaya street. Follow it always straight (on foot to go for 10 minutes, for someone 30). If it is difficult, then you can drive two stops by bus, trolleybus or minibus. The stop has a corresponding name. Red walls and a sign with the house number 58 - this is the Intercession Monastery.

Don't go down Solzhenitsyn Street, you won't get to Matronushka there. But then there is the Church of St. Martin, in which there is a saint's dress and a piece of her relics.

Medsantrud Hospital

Taganskaya Square is the way to City Clinical Hospital No. 23 (named after Medsantrud). The landmark will be the lobby of the station "Taganskaya" and the red building of the theater. Between them there is a street down (Upper Radishchevskaya). It is through it that you can get to one of the largest clinical hospitals in Moscow.

Moscow sentryFactory

On Marksistskaya Street, not far from Taganskaya Square, there is the famous Poljot watch factory. Only watches from this company can be purchased in the salon on Vorontsovskaya street, 35B, cor. 3.

If you stand on Taganskaya Square, you can see that another one leaves Marxistskaya Street to the right - this is Vorontsovskaya Street. So, basically, everything is close. You don't have to travel far.

Neighbourhood parks

If you go to Matronushka, you will see Pryamikov's children's park on the left, and Tagansky park on the right. It is not visible from the road. Both parks are practically the only green corners of the area where you can relax, rollerblade, run around the stadium.

There is a children's puppet theater and sports facilities in Pryamikov Park. In summer, as a rule, children can jump on a trampoline.

Great Landmark

In conclusion, we would like to add that Taganskaya Square is a periphery between roads and railway stations. It is from here that you can walk down to the Kursk railway station along Zemlyanoy Val. If you go in the opposite direction, then the Bolshoi Krasnokholmsky Bridge across the Moscow River will lead to Paveletsky Station. Simply put, the landmark is as follows: if you look at the building of the vestibule of the Taganskaya station, then the directions are:

• left - Paveletsky railway station;
• to the right - Kursk.

In general, Taganskaya Square helps to get to certain streets, to other areas, to go to the Moscow Ring Road. The only negative: very hardto navigate, a large flow of cars, a lot of traffic lights and little clear signs. Therefore, we recall, follow with the navigator and listen to his recommendations strictly.
