World Tourism Day has been celebrated on September 27 for over 40 years. This international holiday was established to popularize travel, evaluate the industry’s contribution to economic development, and establish and strengthen ties between different cities and countries. This year, Moscow will host excursions, games, and competitions dedicated to World Tourism Day. You can join them in the VDNKh museums, as well as in the tourist information centers located in Zaryadye Park and on the territories of the Southern and Northern River Terminals. Some events require advance online registration.

VDNKh invites everyone to thematic events in the Museum City and a football tournament. From 11:00 to 17:00, the IV Moscow Tourism Cup will be held on mini-fields. The winners will receive a large cup and gold medals, the teams that take second and third places will receive silver and bronze medals, as well as small commemorative cups. The team that takes the last place will receive a consolation prize – the Cup of Hope. In addition, individual prizes are provided for the best players of the tournament.

The first Moscow Tourism Cup was held in September 2021, and has since become an annual event. The game brings together not only friends and fans of the teams, but also guests of the country’s main exhibition. Admission is free.

Free excursions will be held at the Cosmonautics and Aviation Center at 18:00 and 19:30 “Cosmic Moscow”. Visitors will learn about the history of practical cosmonautics, the capital’s enterprises in this industry and preparation for flights. Particular attention will be paid to the legendary pavilion No. 34 “Space”.

A free tour will be held at the Slovo Museum of Slavic Literature at 19:00 “Who travels well in Rus’?”. Participants will learn about the history of travel in different times, as well as about the transformation of the travel essay genre in Russian literature. Attention will be paid to such works as “Journey Beyond Three Seas” by Afanasy Nikitin and “Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow” by Alexander Radishchev.

In addition, on September 27, travel enthusiasts are welcome at the tourist information centers of the Southern and Northern River Terminals, as well as in Zaryadye Park. There, starting at 1:00 p.m., a holiday quiz will be held. Visitors will be asked to answer questions about tourism in Moscow and other Russian cities.
