Sports in Moscow

Whether it’s hot summer or dark winter, Moscow offers plenty of opportunities for sports. Each season has a lot to offer, and many activities are available throughout the year.

See below: winter sports in Moscow; all seasons sports in Moscow.

Summer

Every summer, more and more free exercise classes are being held in Moscow’s parks.

Yoga in parks

Every summer, the Yoga Journal organizes free yoga classes in over 20 Moscow parks. If it rains, the classes are held in parks equipped with tents: Vorobievy Gory, Goncharovsky, Fili, Izmailovsky, and Vorontsovsky. If the outdoor temperature falls below 18° C, classes are cancelled.

For the updated schedule, please check the journal’s website (in Russian). To see the exact location of yoga classes in the park, click the link on the park name. Don’t forget to take your mat with you.

Winter

 

Skating rinks

You can skate in Moscow all year round, but the most enjoyable and atmospheric skating rinks are outdoors and open in winter. The ice can be either natural or artificial (this can stay frozen even when the temperature is above zero). Most of them include a changing room, skates for rent, a café with snacks and hot drinks, lighting in the evening, and some music playing. Most of the rinks work in sessions with breaks, during which the ice is renovated. If you want the best and the smoothest ice, come at the beginning of a session. Here is just a small selection of the many skating rinks in Moscow.

As part of COVID prevention policies, visitors to all skating rinks in Moscow must register and/or purchase online tickets in advance. The number of slots in each rink is limited, so we recommend planning your skating beforehand.
