Reviews

It is simply impossible to cover all the platforms at once in one fell swoop. Many people, especially visitors, prefer to come to the capital each code to cover as much exposure as possible. In fact, a very impressive festival of light. Reviews, Moscow, burning with lights these days - everything inspires and makes you come here again and again.

In order to make the impression of the show not spoiled, of course, you need to choose the best site for viewing. In places where there is little space, and the roadway (albeit overlapped) is blocked by cars, it is inconvenient to watch. Such a scene is the Bolshoi Theater.

But in the parks, on the contrary, the spacious terrain allows everyone to settle comfortably. Probably, that's why there are many positive responses about Luzhniki and Gorky Park.

A colorful enchanting show - in this all viewers agree unanimously. But the biggest disadvantage that occurs in such events is constant crowds of people, because of what the viewing angle is distorted, it becomes stuffy and crowded. Many parents with young children prefer to stay at home to avoid pushing, and wait a few years. And this grieves. Although sites for viewing and a lot, but residents and visitors to the capital is still much more.
