Located at the very heart of the office life of the Russian capital, where black-and-white business people are always scurrying and the working atmosphere of the financial center of the country is standing, the Bagration bridge can be called one of the most atypical for our central belt . It's understandable: when you look at the ferry from the opposite side of the river from the dizzying quarter of Moscow City, the view of the entire ensemble, frankly speaking, is Asian . Tons of concrete, kilometers of glass, hundreds of thousands of lights that illuminate everything this udo modern architecture truly captivates the "lion's share" of tourists, and Muscovites, believe, surprise . No wonder that the shopping center that is actually inside the bridge Bagration is a very popular place . Of course, most of the purchases come here visitors, but there are some romantics who are attracted by the luxurious view opening from the panoramic windows of the shopping center .
The trade and pedestrian bridge was built not so long ago - in 1997, the talented architect B. I.Thor, and the child was named honor of the great Russian commander Prince Pyotr Bagration. The dimensions of this shopping crossing across the Moscow River are very impressive: length 214 m, bridge width 16 m, and height above river level about 14 m.
Bagration Bridge consists of two levels. The lower one is a glazed gallery throughout the entire length of the gallery, the 200 m long path will be especially convenient thanks to the trawlators laid here (these are horizontal escalators that do not lift upwards, but transport lazy pedestrians from point A to point B - very conveniently). The upper level is not covered by glass, there is an open viewing platform.
Around and everywhere on the bridge are shops, branches of banks and cellular operators, travel agencies, cafes. What can I buy? And fashionable dress in DashaGauser, and gifts, and cosmetics, and flowers, and costume jewelry, and perfume - in short, almost everything you need for a pleasant evening in a great place.
Still, the Bagration Bridge is not a typical shopping mall in the Russian capital, but something more, so do not expect a choice from a hundred stores and a dozen restaurants.
