Where to stay in Ramenki
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Ramenki is a university district of Moscow, heavy on campus and housing rather than hotels. Its ground rises to Vorobyovy Gory, where the main building of Moscow State University and the surrounding campus fill much of the district, leaving beds thinner than in the centre. The campus sets the tone.
Stay here if you want quiet, green surroundings near the university and the Vorobyovy Gory slopes, with central Moscow a metro ride away. Most visitors base themselves closer in.
