during wee small hours come out right after this break. maundering. historic old. friendly. dynamic. to describe. my co.

hello welcome to the podium in this week's episode we'll be exploring moscow by lights the city has completely changed over the past two decades and today each evening the capital is transformed into a fairgrounds of colors and bright lights so joey martin and lewis as we explore various lifetime images sights and logs starting off here at the magnificent kremlin. after decades of appearing in monochrome moscow is finally seeing itself in bright striking technicolor. every evening the russian capital changes its look dramatically as the city transforms itself into a brightly colored face around as the largest city in europe moscow is alive twenty four hours a day traffic jams at one am streets full of people late at night and restaurants and bars open around the clock. traffic changing trunkless the capital today is

packed with bright billboards nuance. signs and illuminated buildings. to the glittering landmarks of the kremlin in the christ the savior cathedral the russian capital is well worth exploring it's not a visual feast. i like the fact that unlike many european cities moscow is lit up oh like loan the lights dunghill shortly after midnight even if you take a walk in the russian capital and three or four o'clock in the morning you'll still be able to see the elimination that is. in my opinion moscow is a little bit crazy in the daytime while at night the lights make it much more glamorous amazingly beautiful. when it's famous imposing towers and bright stars the kremlin and neighboring red square is an image known to millions around the world illuminated landmarks would have a season present spectacular images visitors will never forget the area surrounding red square is also known for many other peaceful buildings too i just love this

building the good apartment store it always alliance me. especially when. it. is just to located right on red square about. him it's one thing however wonderful it looks day i would not like but sorry just those light bulbs. in a similar style to the great nineteenth century train stations of london in my opinion this illuminated building is one example of architecture that is more impressive at night from a distance i think it looks like it's made from gingerbread you can see why it's a must have photographed. a few nights later and the twinkling lights of coombe switched off no they haven't forgot to pay the electricity bill for more than fifteen sites in the bolshoi theater university building and many others are taking part in a special event called the second flight. an international festival with a difference hundreds of technicians electricians and artists a working on the

project. dynamic projections. it's an event to remember. especially as. a special jury consisting of arts and culture presenting very some. of them are striking and full of. spectacular. and marveled at the. many venues in the russian capital. city is one of them the three hundred sixty degree panorama is something to be seen. life in the world but how is the image of. the look and feel of. these

questions. chris christie you know you've been here. before you came here i was. expected to be very frustrating. because if you go on the streets. if you were to give any tourist some advice about where to visit.

special event it's nice. very it's very beautiful i think you should come to this hotel here you have to talk you can see the city downstairs it's very beautiful it's values amazing yes yes this is really great. i think you know just take a cap and ride around the city it's not so expensive spend five hundred dollars that's approximately fifteen euros twenty dollars and take you right for the city and you would see it all things you know the one thing i've noticed about you know living in moscow over the past six years is its obsession with branding whether it be neon lights or huge billboards that's a problem here in moscow. it's a little bit too much so i think it's people were doing it i would prefer a little bit less. yeah you got much more you got much more lights much more advertising much more too much in your head good thing or bad stuff i think for me

personally it's tiring because you get it's like this whole. tension you know you can't see something from here something from there the whole day something flickering there you know it's too much and it makes me really tired. it's great to be a christian thank you good luck with all your policy projects here must come a party with me next i will look forward to thank you to. make some trouble in the southwest direction along the river located through the run from kooky park and the the santa if you want wonderful views of the city it might spring is the place to come also a well loved spot for wedding ceremonies and dozens of seventy one food stores thousands of this is to come here every week while the views from the area aspire hills are just beautiful i think it shows some of the best of the capital of the city seems so relaxed and calm from up here in the distance the skyline you can

make out the science academy the stadium the. of course the seventh largest of the box is the university building located right behind us. the spectacular building was designed by architect. as opposed to the main building was the tallest building in the world outside of new york city and that's part of its construction. the central tower is two hundred forty meters tool thirty six stories high and in a total of three kilometers of corridor and five thousand rooms a celebration of moscow's eight hundred sixty fifth birthday the master state university building is transformed into a twenty five thousand five hundred square meter screen with a spectacular light show masterminded by david atkins the show which entered the guinness book of world records for being the world's largest ever show featured a flaming phoenix and innovative graphics depicted in the building structure.

moving on and let's take a look at other ways we can explore the city lights the restaurant after the famous characters from the books on the roof is located on top of the central city tower business center it has a sensational glass roof and offers views of the litter kremlin historical area and other breathtaking sights. the history of the lights illuminations of the russian capital. lights. displays of lamps lanterns and other. street a live in a she's. a house is a collection of photographs of. the city looked like at night centuries ago. and if you want to explore the city at night you can take part in city game there are several projects including. a place in moscow during the weekend. the main idea

is to find secret locations in the city after receiving clues from the internet the team which is the first to decipher and find all the spots to see the profits. tonight. i'm told offers highrise extraordinary excursions the sky is the one of the curious tourists when you build a typical city looking tools to explore the capital from a different viewpoint. interest in photography various structures to take pictures of interesting. first undiscovered abandoned buildings radio television towers. and decided to share the experience with other people. through the eighteenth century there was an informal pass in the height of the kremlin's tourist belltower and even today there is no unified system regulations as to how shiny new buildings can be. decided enjoying high life on

a rooftop is becoming more popular the capital is at night a city totally transformed into a sea of colored lights. every year that blaze of light and confidence swells as a true symbol of growth and development. is truly heaven for those aiming higher than the sight seeing and is one of the most vibrant cities of europe. by the desire to joining. what is inside but unfortunately that's all we have left on the streets program about moscow by night i'll see you again at the same time next week begins around the russian capital until then for me and the rest of the current by now.

so much.
