Itinerary description

<<< English follows >>> El monasterio Novodévichi es una de las visitas características de Moscú. Actualmente (julio 2019) está todo en obras de restauración así que infórmate antes de ir. La visita cuesta 100 rublos pero no merece la pena con tantas obras. Junto al monasterio está uno de los cementarios más famosos de Moscú en el que está, por ejemplo, la tumba de Boris Yeltsin junto a las de otros artistas y políticos importantes. Aunque algunas guías dicen que es gratis, este cementerio no lo es. Y la última parada famosa junto al monasterio es el lago Novodévichi, conocido por ser la inspiración para el ballet de El lago de los cisnes, de Chaikovsky. Puede ser que fuera así pero, a la vista de cómo es el lago ahora, no cabe duda de que Chaikovsky tuvo mucho imaginación. En resumen, lo más famoso es el monasterio pero mientras siga en obras, la visita no es interesante. <<< English >>> The Novodévichi monastery is one of the characteristic visits of Moscow. Currently (July 2019) it is all in restoration works so find out the status before you go. The visit costs 100 rubles but it is not worth it with so many works. Next to the monastery is one of the most famous cemeteries in Moscow in which can be found, for example, the tomb of Boris Yeltsin next to those of other important artists and politicians. Although some guides say it's free, this cemetery is not. And the last famous stop next to the monastery is Lake Novodévichi, known for being the inspiration for the ballet of Swan Lake, by Chaikovsky. It might be that way but, in view of how the lake looks like now, there is no doubt that Chaikovsky had a lot of imagination. In summary, the most famous is the monastery but as long as it is still under restoration, the visit is not interesting.
