Triumfalnaya Square, street in Tverskoy District, Russia
Triumfalnaya Square is a public square in Moscow's Tverskoy District located at the Garden Ring. The space features a flat surface with seating options including double swings instead of traditional benches, a walled lilac garden area, and tall linden trees planted along the edges.
The square emerged in the late 1700s after demolishing local yards and later housed theaters and circuses. In the 1930s the space was paved and large buildings were constructed including the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall and the Peking Hotel, while a Mayakovsky monument was added in 1958.
The square's name refers to its connection with celebrations and gatherings in Moscow's urban life. Today, people use it as a meeting place where they sit on swings, drink coffee, and enjoy time together, especially during sunny weather and local holiday events.
The square is easy to reach, located on Tverskaya Street and near metro stations, allowing quick access from other parts of the city. The flat surface and swings are accessible for people of all abilities, and cafes are available for refreshments during your visit.
The square is marked by double swings instead of traditional benches, an unusual feature for a Moscow square that invites visitors to linger with friends or family. This playful design sets the space apart from typical urban squares in the region.
