Matveyevskoye, Moscow — Area Guide & Where to Stay
Where to stay in Matveyevskoye
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Matveyevskoye is a district for locals, not guests. Beds are scarce, and visitors to Moscow generally stay nearer the centre. The one institution that draws outside attention is the House of Cinema Veterans, a home for retired film workers, and even that is not a reason to overnight here, so travellers with business in the area book a room in central Moscow and travel out to it.
Come for the day, sleep downtown.
About Matveyevskoye
What are the main landmarks in Matveyevskoye?
Matveyevskoye claims a single institution of note. The House of Cinema Veterans, or Дом ветеранов кино, is the district's one public landmark, a residence tied to the film world. Around it the streets are given over to housing, and the area offers little else to mark on a map.
It is a quiet, domestic quarter of Moscow.
What is the history of Matveyevskoye?
Matveyevskoye began as a small settlement outside Moscow, later swallowed by the expanding city. Its history is that of a village turned suburb turned district, with none of the palaces or cathedrals of the older quarters, and the House of Cinema Veterans stands as its most distinctive later addition. The land became housing.
That is its story within Moscow, Russia.
