Panoramic sunset view of Moscow city from Sparrow Hills, Russia

Sparrow Hills (in Russian, Vorobiovy Gory) is one of the highest natural lookout points in Moscow, located on the banks of the Moscow River. Between 1935 and 1999 it was known as Lenin Hill. It reaches a height of 70-80 meters above the level of the river. From this hill there is a spectacular panoramic view of the city (as long as there is a clear day). It is a very popular place among locals, where you will also find many tourists and couples taking pictures. From this hill you can also admire some of Stalin’s Skyscrapers, popularly known also as the Seven Sisters, among which we can highlight the impressive building of the University of Moscow, very close to this hill, or you can observe the skyscrapers of the Financial District of Moscow City. You can also buy Russian souvenirs, like the famous matrioshkas, in some of the stores that you will find there.
