If you are tired from the crowded streets of Russian capital but still don't want to go from the city you can walk here, on the hills of Vorobyovy Gory. Nearby you can see the tower of the Moscow State University. Long walk in this nature park along the alley can calm you down and relax from the city stresses.

Go see the University and wander around Sparrow Hills with the best views of Moscow. If there's snow, you might catch a ski-jumping contest on weekends!

this is a great spot for a walk, bike or jog! there are indeed, many sparrows singing. It is nice to start at the viewing platform of MGU, and walk down one of the wooden stair paths, into the park. Don't worry about having to climb back up the stairs - the metro station is down at the river's edge!

We visited the Hills during a city tour. It was a short stop but we had enough time to enjoy the view and take some amazing pictures. Come in summer.

As Moscow is quite plain with not many hills, this is your place to go to enjoy the views of both the City and the Lomonosov University from the other side. Loads of souvenir selllers, you can get a good deal here.

Pick your clearest day and go. Make sure your camera does panoramic shots as you will definitley want them! The only place in the city you can see the Seven Sisters.

For me it was not the best part of my trip to Moscow, but if you have time and want to see a nice view- this is the place to go.

Like most sightseeings in Moscow it's worth visiting! But here You can find a lot of interesting places - the most interesting of them are Luzhniki Stadion and Moscow State University. More over it's real pleasure to observe all this places from hills.

have been here twice and once the day was lovely and the views exceptional. Last visit, we just saw a wall of white in front of us. One of the seven sisters sits behind the view point though, the university, and even without the view of Moscow, it's fun to look at the monstrous building up there.

helps piece the city together - worth a visit if you are in moscow for more than 3 days. You also have chance to see the most impressive of the seven sisters (the university) up close - for your fix of quasi-gothic-ghostbusters architecture.
