Izmaylovo, Moscow — Area Guide & Where to Stay
Where to stay in Izmaylovo
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Izmaylovo spreads around its old estate and the Izmailovo Kremlin on the outer edge of Moscow, a district of parkland and housing rather than a dense hotel zone. Visitors reach it easily by the Partizanskaya metro, and many pair a day here with a night in central Moscow. The draw is the estate.
Around it stand the Izmailovo Kremlin's timber towers, the Church of the Protection of the Theotokos, and the quiet of the Lilac garden.

About Izmaylovo
What are the main landmarks in Izmaylovo?
The Izmailovo Kremlin rises in painted timber beside the older Izmaylovo Estate, giving the district two very different faces under a single name. A monument to Peter I stands nearby. The Church of the Protection of the Theotokos and the Church of the Nativity in Izmaylovo are older than the fairground towers beside them, and both keep the estate's early religious life in view.
The Partizanskaya metro brings them within reach.
What is the history of Izmaylovo?
Izmaylovo grew from an estate first recorded in 1389, one of the older estate names outside old Moscow. Its Church of the Protection of the Theotokos and its Church of the Nativity in Izmaylovo mark the centuries when the grounds stood apart from the city. The estate outlasted them.
Farmland and manor gave way to a Moscow district, yet the Izmaylovo Estate still carries the memory of 1389 beneath the newer Izmailovo Kremlin.
Where is Izmaylovo?
Izmaylovo lies among the parks and residential districts of Moscow, its grounds gathered around the Izmaylovo Estate and served by the Partizanskaya metro.
