    • Relax at Gorky Park, which stretches along the banks of the river in the heart of the city. While away the hours at the choice of modern art galleries or enjoy an open-air concert in the summer months. You can get a new perspective on the city if you’re brave enough to try a bungee jump or from the top of one of the park’s rollercoaster rides. Or keep firmly on the ground by hiring a bike to explore the park’s open spaces.
