district
of Moscow

Are you into things exotic? The canal is a good way to start your journey into the Moscow underworld. At certain times of the year drainage tunnels are quite above the water level in the canal making them accessible to the curious. | ||

Fancy offices next door to drinking establishments that cater to local alcoholics and will sell you a shot of vodka and something to bite into for 30 roubles ($1) |
