Moscow metropolitan area, Metropolitan area in Central Russia.
The Moscow metropolitan area is a large urban zone in central Russia that extends across several administrative districts. Built-up areas transition into residential neighborhoods, parks, and industrial zones connected by major roads and railway lines.
The area began in the 12th century as a trading post and grew over centuries through steady outward expansion. The Soviet era brought massive housing construction and industrialization to surrounding districts.
The region takes its name from the river flowing through it and serves today as Russia's political and economic center. Residents stroll along boulevards such as Tverskaya and shop at local markets throughout the area.
Visitors should avoid rush hours in the morning and evening when commuters crowd public transport and roads. A city map or navigation app helps with orientation between different neighborhoods and suburbs.
The ring boulevard encircles the historic center and follows the old city wall from the 16th century. Many suburban residents spend several hours daily on public transport due to long distances between home and workplace.
