Sightseeing

Aerostar Hotel

Although the Aerostar is fairly close to Moscow's historic downtown, there are few visitor attractions in the area. Opposite the Aerostar Hotel, the Petrovsky Travelling Palace is a magnificent neo-gothic built in the 1770s on the order of Catherine the Great in celebration of victory in Russo-Turkish War of 1768-1774. It has recently been renovated and turned into the 5-star Petroff Palace Hotel.

Only a few minutes' walk from the hotel is Dinamo Stadium, home to Moscow's oldest football team. It's museum is likely to be of interest only to Russian-speaking football fans.

2.5 kilometers from the hotel, at 8 Ulitsa Rozanova, is the Imperial Russian Ballet Theater, founder in 1994 by the legendary Russian ballerina Maya Plisetskaya. The theater's company comprises 40 dancers from Russia's best ballet schools in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Perm. The company's repertoire comprises favorite ballet classics and more modern productions.

5-10 minutes' walk from the Aerostar Hotel is the Aviation and Space Exploration History Museum. The museum's eight rooms are home to various materials - some of them rare - chronicling the growth of aviation and space technology in Russia. The museum's collections hold 1,200 items, about 12,500 literary sources, and more than 30,000 photographs and negatives.
