Moscow-City: 7 surprising facts about the Russian capital’s business center

1. Guinness World Record in highlining

The record was set in 2019 by a team of seven athletes from Russia, Germany, France and Canada. They did it on September 8, on which the ‘Moscow-City Day’ is celebrated. The cord was stretched at the height of 350 m between the ‘OKO’ (“Eye”) and ‘Neva Towers’ skyscrapers. The distance between them is 245 m. The first of the athletes to cross was Friede Kuhne from Germany. The athletes didn't just walk, but also performed some daredevil tricks. Their record is 103 meters higher than the previous one set in Mexico City in December 2016.

2. Domination of Europe's top-10 highest skyscrapers

7 out of 10 Europe’s highest skyscrapers are located in Moscow-City. Earlier, the  ‘Federation Tower’ complex’s ‘Vostok’ (“East”) skyscraper was the considered the tallest in Europe.

Left to right: the lower of the ‘Neva Towers’ (296 m), Commerzbank Tower in Frankfurt (300 m), Gorod Stolits (“City of Capitals”) Moscow tower (302 m), Eurasia tower (309 m), The Shard’ skyscraper in London (310 m), Mercury City Tower (339 m), Neva Towers (345 m).

However, in 2018, the construction of the 462 meter tall ‘Lakhta Center’ in Saint-Petersburg was completed, pushing ‘Vostok’ (374 m) into 2nd place. The 3rd place is taken by OKO’s southern tower (354 m).

3. The unrealized ‘Rossiya’ tower

If all the building plans of Moscow-City were realized, the ‘Lakhta Center’ in St. Petersburg wouldn't have a chance to be Europe's highest skyscraper. Boris Tkhor, the architect who designed the concept of Moscow-City, had planned for the ‘Rossiya’ tower to be the tallest. In his project, it was a 600 meter tall golden cylindrical skyscraper ending with a spire that was inspired by traditional Russian bell towers. Then, the project was reinvented by famous British architect Sir Norman Foster. He had designed ‘Rossiya’ as a pyramid ending with a spire. The skyscraper itself would have been 612 meters tall, and the height including the spire would have reached 744,5 meters (for comparison, the ‘Burj Khalifa’ in Dubai, UAE, would have been just 83,5 meters taller). Unfortunately, the investors faced a lot of economic problems, due to the 2008 financial crisis, so the ‘Rossiya’ skyscraper was never built. A shopping mall and the ‘Neva Towers’ complex was constructed at its place in 2019.

4. Changed appearance of ‘Federation Tower’

In its first project, the ‘Federation Tower’ was designed to resemble a ship with a mast and two sails. The mast was to be represented by a tall glass spire with passages between the towers. It was planned to make a high-speed lift in it. The top of the spire was going to be turned into an observation deck. But the ship lost its mast in the middle of its construction. Experts at the Moscow-city Museum based in the ‘Imperia’ (“Empire”) tower say, that the construction of the spire was stopped, firstly, due to fire safety reasons and secondly, because it posed a threat to helicopter flights – the flickering glass of the spire could potentially blind the pilots. So, the half-built construction was disassembled. However, an observation deck was opened in the ‘Vostok’ tower.

5. Open windows of ‘Federation Tower’

We all know that the windows of the upper floors in different buildings don’t usually open. Experts say that it’s not actually for people’s safety. Falling from a big height is likely to be fatal in any building. The actual reason is the ventilation system. In a skyscraper, it’s managed with a mechanical system, and the building has its own climate. But in the ‘Zapad’ (“West”) tower of the ‘Federation Tower’ complex, the windows can open. The 62nd and last floor of the tower are taken up by a restaurant called ‘Sixty’. There, the windows are equipped with a special hydraulic system. They open for a short period of time accompanied by classical music, so the guests can take breathtaking photos of Moscow.

6. Broken glass units of ‘Federation Tower’

The guests of the ‘Sixty’ restaurant at the top of the ‘Zapad’ tower can be surprised to see cracked glass window panes. It is particularly strange, if we take into consideration the special type of this glass. It is extremely solid and can’t be broken once installed. For example, during experiments people threw all sorts of heavy items at the windows, but the glass wouldn’t break. The broken glass units of ‘Zapad’ were already damaged during shipment . As each of them is curved in its own way to make the tower’s curvature smooth, making a new set of window panes and bringing them to Russia was deemed too expensive . Moreover, the investors had financial problems (again, due to the 2008 financial crisis), so the ‘Vostok’ tower even stood unfinished for several years. Eventually, the cracked window panes were installed in their place.

7. The highest restaurant in Europe

‘Birds’, another restaurant in Moscow-City, is remarkable for its location. It was opened at the end of 2019 on the 84th floor of the ‘OKO’ complex’s southern tower. Guests at the restaurant can enjoy an amazing panoramic view at a height of 336 meters. On January 28, the experts of ‘Kniga Recordov Rossii’ (“Russian Records Book”) declared ‘Birds’ the highest restaurant in Europe, a step toward an application for a Guinness World Record.

Unveiling The Top Travel Trends of 2023

Posted: November 10, 2023 | Last updated: November 10, 2023

Nearly ninety percent of Americans were resolute in their plans to travel during 2023, when polled in January. 49% say they plan to travel more, making minor and major adjustments to stave off inflation while embracing their spirit of adventure. 

According to a Forbes Advisor Survey , 87% of survey participants anticipate maintaining or exceeding their travel frequency from 2022, while nearly  60% of individuals aged 18 to 26 intend to take even more trips than before.

2023 has ushered in a wave of novel and revitalized travel trends to consider for your next vacation .

The Quest for Personal Transformation

Larry Snider, VP of Operations of Casago Santa Barbara Vacation Rentals , says, “There’s a big rise in wellness travel. This kind of travel includes spa treatments, yoga retreats, fun culinary experiences, and more. It’s all about taking care of yourself. Even hotels are beginning to offer wellness packages that include meditation classes and personal training sessions.”

Travelers are pursuing personal growth and rejuvenation through transformative retreats. These journeys seamlessly integrate wellness, mindfulness, and self-discovery, offering a profound connection between travel and holistic well-being. This relationship between travel and personal transformation encourages a remarkable experience for the individual.

Culinary Evolution on The Road

Travel cuisine takes a health-conscious turn with adaptogenic menus, infusing wellness into dining. These menus are designed to elevate health and enhance the travel experience by incorporating herbs, roots and other plant substances that help our bodies manage stress.

Imagine starting your day at a charming café with a menu boasting adaptogenic lattes infused with herbs like ashwagandha and reishi, providing a comforting taste and an energizing boost. From adaptogen-infused smoothie bowls to hearty soups that fuel exploration after a day of sightseeing, these culinary innovations cater to the health-conscious traveler seeking both nourishment and novelty.

Reimagining Accommodations: From Modular to Pop-up

A modular hotel is an accommodation constructed using prefabricated modules or units. These modules are typically built off-site and then transported to the hotel location, where they are assembled to create the final structure. Each module serves as a self-contained living space with its own amenities and features.

Pop-up hotels bring a sense of novelty by briefly transforming distinctive locations into unique lodgings. Pop-up hotels provide an unparalleled sense of originality and exploration, allowing travelers to experience unique sites in unconventional ways.

Road trips redefined.

Electric road trips offer travelers a guilt-free journey, combining the joy of open-road exploration with environmentally friendly transportation. Electric vehicles minimize carbon footprints and provide a quieter and smoother ride, enhancing the overall road trip experience.

The allure lies in striking the perfect balance between sustainable choices and the excitement of new destinations. The increasing availability of charging infrastructure aligns with the rise of ecotourism initiatives, making electric road trips convenient and aligned with travelers’ desire to engage in responsible and mindful travel experiences.

Slow Travel’s Resurgence

Slow travel invites travelers to indulge in local cultures and traditions, going beyond superficial tourism. By embracing a slower pace, travelers can savor the essence of each destination, creating more meaningful memories along the way.

Kim Bennett, CEO and co-frounder of Atlas Guru , says, “There is something about experiencing the awe and wonder of small century-old villages and natural landscapes that our travelers seem to crave right now. My personal style of travel is to always include several days outdoors, and I try to keep flights to a minimum, even if that means seeing less.”‘

This approach encourages travelers to appreciate the journey itself, focusing on quality experiences rather than trying to check off numerous destinations. In a fast-paced world, slow travel is also a remedy for burnout.

Luxurious Layovers

Upscale airport lounges are changing the way people kickstart their journeys. Consider an establishment like the Dubai International Airport, where travelers can feel spoiled before taking off. These lounges, adorned with fancy decor and top-notch personalized services, elevate the pre-flight experience to unparalleled luxury.

With this array of lavish amenities at one’s fingertips, there’s a brief yet exquisite escape from the hustle and bustle of the terminal. By turning layovers into moments of relaxation, these swanky airport lounges bring enjoyment and comfort to the entire travel experience.

Hybrid Flight-Light Travel

Hybrid flight-light travel effortlessly combines air journeys with alternative transportation modes.

Imagine your plane landing in London, and a few days later, you’re transitioning to a scenic train ride through Europe . Or travelers disembark in Tokyo and head to a bullet train ride to Kyoto.

This inventive approach broadens travel possibilities, enabling explorers to merge the convenience of air travel with the refined experiences of ground-based exploration. Ethan Williams, travel expert and owner of Traveling Gossip , mentions that the rise in this trend can be somewhat attributed to eco-consciousness.

“As the global community becomes more environmentally conscious, travelers are actively seeking ways to reduce their carbon footprint. While flying is often necessary to reach distant destinations, there’s a growing realization that exploring a region doesn’t require hopping from one short-haul flight to another. As per a report by the Environmental Transport Association (ETA), using trains over planes for short distances can reduce a traveler’s carbon emissions by up to 90%.”

Bleisure Trips

Bleisure travel is relatively straightforward. It’s when travelers mix work and fun; a balanced blend of getting things done and having a good time. Make the most of your business trips by checking out local attractions and soaking up the destination’s vibe. This approach results in a satisfying journey that merges career and personal development.

Sleep Tourism

Sleep tourism is an emerging trend that addresses the often-overlooked aspect of travel: quality rest. Travelers are now seeking destinations prioritizing sleep experiences, offering serene environments and accommodations to promote a reinvigorating slumber.

From serene seaside retreats that sync with the rhythm of ocean waves to high-tech hotels equipped with personalized sleep-enhancing technologies, sleep tourism underscores the growing recognition of sleep’s critical role in the overall travel experience. Beyond sightseeing and activities, getting rest has become a component contributing to a traveler’s well-being and satisfaction.

The Appeal of Set-Jetting

Set-jetting transports travelers from their living rooms into the realms of their favorite movies and TV series. These destinations hold a special allure as visitors walk in the footsteps of beloved characters and relive iconic scenes.

Based on the American Express 2023 Global Travel Trends Report , nearly 64% of participants concur that their desire to explore a place has been kindled after witnessing it showcased on TV programs, news outlets, or within the frames of movies.

From the mesmerizing landscapes of Middle Earth in The Lord of the Rings  to the historical splendor of Downton Abbey , set-jetting offers an intimate link between fiction and reality. This trend ignites fans’ passion for storytelling, turning travel into a riveting journey that allows them to connect with the magic of on-screen worlds in a tangible and unforgettable way.

The Future of Traveling

Amid the ongoing travel renaissance, there’s excitement for what lies ahead. As technology, sustainability, and traveler preferences evolve, the future promises revolutionary experiences. From sustainable transport to immersive AI-guided tours, the anticipation of what’s to come adds a thrilling dimension to the journey.
