Where is the most beautiful New Year? Unusual places to celebrate the New Year. Germany - Berlin and Munich
This year Moscow is the best decorated for the winter holidays! The traditional GUM fair took place on Red Square. Outwardly, it is almost no different from its predecessors from last year, even the attributes are the same. The only thing is that they added festive retro cards to the design, which GUM is decorated with this year.
1| The tradition of decorating non-coniferous trees on Red Square also continues. Unusual and wonderful.
2| Nikolskaya street is the most a nice place in New Year's Moscow! Probably even the street itself thinks that this is just a Christmas dream)
3| People stand in front of the decorations as if in front of a stage, many cannot hide their delight. The most popular phrase on Nikolskaya: “Like in Europe!” (although many European cities are decorated much more modestly). In second place is the question: “Is this really Moscow?”
4| The entire street has been turned into a festive light corridor. True, from the side of Lubyanka the decorations look more modest than from the side of Red Square.
5| Decorations on Tretyakovsky Proezd have been traditional for a couple of years now. What’s new is that the security guards have learned not to fuss about the tripod and now do not equate it with “a spy attribute of competitors of the stores presented here.” How can you not believe in miracles after this?
Last year, one barrier boss tried to prohibit me from filming with a tripod. He was, of course, sent politely. He didn’t calm down, he even called the police. He was sent a second time, this time to the police.
Maybe the security guards at White Square aren’t so strange now either? And then they also looked at the tripod as a weapon.

19| On the Tverskaya side, Kamergersky has illuminated numbers for 2016. They are also found in other places in the city - on Trubnaya, Tverskaya, Pushkinskaya.
20| A cozy fair on Tverskaya Square. The hardest thing for photography is to capture a moment without people. There are a lot of people walking around, so sometimes you have to wait a long time. I was told that there were photographers who, while waiting for the right moment, managed to read an entire volume of “War and Peace”!)
