The location

Located on the banks of the Moskva River, Moscow is actually one of the ‘greenest’ major cities in Europe, with 96 parks and 18 gardens in the city in addition to 100km² of forests.
Four concentric ring roads encircle Moscow city: Bul’varnij Circle, Sadovoe Circle, 3rd Circle, and MKAD circle in an attempt to reduce traffic congestion.
The city is divided into 12 administrative okrugs and 123 separate districts.
