About Mar’ino
Where to stay in Mar’ino
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Mar'ino is a place people live, not visit. Beds are scarce across the South-Eastern Administrative Okrug, and travellers to Moscow almost always stay closer to the centre. The district is a grid of residential streets, Nizhniye Polya Street among them, with little in the way of hotels or sights to detain a visitor, so anyone with a reason to reach Mar'ino usually books a room in central Moscow and travels out.
It suits family visits.
About Mar’ino
What are the main landmarks in Mar’ino?
Mar'ino holds no major monuments. Its landmarks are the everyday kind, addresses along streets like Nizhniye Polya Street rather than churches or palaces. The one building the record singles out is улица Нижние Поля 21А, an address rather than a monument, which says most of what there is to say about sightseeing in the district.
The district grew as residential housing within Moscow, and its reference points are apartment blocks rather than heritage sites. This is a quarter to live in, not to tour, one of many such districts ringing the older core of Moscow, Russia.
What is the history of Mar’ino?
Mar'ino began as land on the edge of Moscow, well beyond the historic city. It was drawn into the capital as Moscow, Russia, spread outward, and the open ground was given over to residential development, to the streets and addresses that fill it, Nizhniye Polya Street among them. Maryino, as the name is usually written in English, ended up the most populated district in all of Moscow.
The district carries little of the old city's history. Its past is short and local.
Where is Mar’ino?
Mar'ino lies in the South-Eastern Administrative Okrug of Moscow, Russia, among the residential quarters that spread beyond the old core.
