Watch the fireworks from a comfortable place on the bridges over the river; from there you always have a wonderful view of most of the capital's fireworks. The Pushkinsky, Krymsky, Patriarchal bridges are suitable for this, as well as the Bagration and Bogdan Khmelnitsky bridge, which is located a stone's throw from the Kievskaya metro station (next to Europe Square).

And if you want to be very high, then the most suitable option for you would be such places as restaurants and the observation deck in Moscow City (ticket required), restaurants on the roof of the Beijing, Ukraine, Korston hotels, business center Central City Tower and Lotte Plaza.

Where possible, be sure to book your seats in advance as all viewing platforms will be very crowded.
