According to the travel authority which compiled the rating, the current construction of new metro lines will make it more comfortable to move around the city. In addition, as the new airport Zhukovsky will soon open, the number of convenient flights to the Russian capital will increase.

In 2017, the existing range of the city's parks and forests will be complemented by another interesting site — the Zaryadye Park. The park promises to intrigue and impress guests with an ice cave, a "floating" bridge and a "time machine," allowing visitors to travel to several different eras in time.
