Recycling in Winterthur und Umgebung
Wir helfen mit, winterthur abfallfrei zu machen.
Die an der wilden Eulach gelegene, sechstgrösste Stadt der Schweiz war nach Zürich die zweite Stadt, in der grüne Bags die Hauseingänge verschönerten. Die Winterthurer*innen schätzen seither unseren Service und es werden immer mehr. Damit setzen sie sich auf cleverem Weg für eine Kreislaufwirtschaft ein. Sind Sie auch mit dabei?
Abholgebiet in Winterthur
Nicht nur in der Stadt, sondern auch in den ländlichen Regionen sind wir in immer mehr Gemeinden unterwegs. Ist Ihre auch dabei?
Ist Ihre PLZ nicht dabei?
Wir benachrichtigen Sie, sobald wir auch in Ihrer Gemeinde sammeln.
Wie funktioniert unser Recycling-Service?
Recycling war noch nie einfacher: Sie sammeln 12 Wertstoffe in einem einzigen Bag. Am Abholtag werden Ihre Wertstoffe vor der Haustüre eingesammelt und an unsere Sortierspezialist*innen übergeben. Anschliessend trennen flinke Hände Ihre Recyclingstoffe und übergeben sie sortenrein an unsere Schweizer Recycling-Partner. Kurz: Sie sammeln, wir holen ab und recyceln für Sie.
Welche Wertstoffe werden gesammelt?
Ganze 12 Wertstoffe können mit dem Mr. Green Bag recycelt werden. Wir sammeln (fast) alles, was recycelbar ist…
Unsere Partner in der Region
Im Raum Winterthur geht nichts ohne die Brühlgut Stiftung. Sie holen ab, sie sortieren und sie geben die sauber getrennten Wertstoffe weiter an unser Recycling-Partner.

Sensory overload for sure. Even from your pictures I feel it. What an interesting and beautiful place, I'm so glad you could visit it!
You must have been like a kid in a candy shop! I have always wanted to visit Winterthru, but never made it. The sight of all the china must have been breathtaking! Thanks for sharing your visit with us! Ruth
Wow! I've been to Winterthur once ... a very long time ago. Thank you for sharing your wonderful tour. I would have had a horrible time trying to look at EVERYTHING!!!! :) Happy Tea Day!
I was lucky enough to tour Winterthur a number of years ago. What an amazing place. During that same visit I also toured the Brandywine River Museum and Longwood Gardens. What a great area to visit and so many things to see. I hope we can get back again sometime.
Beginning with the model of Winterthur and on, I found it all fascinating! What wonderful collections are housed there and what a joy to be able to view them. The red transferware; be still my heart, as I do have a love for it! The books look wonderful. Thanks so much for taking us along on your tour and Happy Autumn Phyllis! Blessings, Sandi
Fifty-eight sets of china? Oh my goodness, I can hardly imagine! Loved seeing all the red transferware ... the candlestick room ... the Paul Revere tankards ... the tea accoutrements ... this must have been sensory overload indeed!
58 sets of china!...and a room for just candlesticks!....so over-the-top, but wouldn't it be fun?
Thanks for this inspiring tour of Wintertur Museum. I've already searched the ceramics collection but seeing the rooms and the way the objects are displayed makes it all more real and fabulous. I'm sure you enjoyed it too much, as I certainly would. Hugs from Portugal
The mansion is beautiful, and I enjoyed seeing the china. Have a great week, Phyllis!
What a beautiful tour! So many wonderful items. :) Thank you for sharing this....
thanks for the tour I've always wanted to go there
What a fabulous display of china... The red ware is gorgeous.... Goodness, I would have to visit it two or three times to take it all in... and Yes , It so hard to resist books (Ha Ha)...but it looks like you'll be inspired for quite some time...Happy reading this Fall...Hugs
Thank you for visiting my blog. If you would like to leave a comment, I'd love to hear from you!
The KulturPreis Europa has been awarded annually since 1992 to someone from the arts, politics or economics in recognition of a contribution to European culture that promotes tolerance across national and societal borders. The award proclamation cites Jeff Baron and his collaborators on Visiting Mr. Green as "persons who commit their strength and resources to make others aware that Europe has the potential to serve as a model of peaceful coexistence between a wide variety of people whose differences are seen as valuable gifts, not something foreign that should generate fear or be combatted."
Fritz Muliar, the Austrian Mr. Green with Jeff Baron, the night they received the Kulterpreis Europa.

Moscow: City Sightseeing by Car/Bus
- Description
- Choose date
Visiting a new city is akin to going on a first date, it is something you will never forget. Many people imagine Moscow as just a bunch of sporadic landmarks: Red Square, the Kremlin, Lenin’s Mausoleum and GUM. There is so much more to this wonderful city than that and even though we only have a few hours, we will do all we can to show you everything we know and love about our capital in one fell swoop. We will take you on a journey through the ages, from centuries ago, right up to the modern day, soaking in the sights of this vast and bustling metropolis. Bright, luxurious and both ancient and modern at the same time, Moscow invites you on a date you’ll never forget!
On our sightseeing bus tour of the city, you will see:
- The wonderfully historic city centre and its unique museums, magnificent cathedrals, the exquisite Chambers of the Romanov Boyars and of course, the famous towering red brick walls of the Kremlin, The charming beauty of the Alexander Garden awaits the capital's guests - a lush green oasis in the midst of the glass and concrete clad metropolis, basking in the etherial aura emanating from the whitewashed stone walls of the restored Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the world- renowned fairytale onion domes of St. Basil's Cathedral and other impressive monumental buildings such as the library built in Lenin's honour - the Russian State Library - and the State Duma.
- The Lubyanka KGB headquarters is notorious to members of older generations and although nowadays, the face of the secret police has changed dramatically, the looming enigmatic building on the waterfront maintains its aura of mystery, shrouded in a variety of murky rumours and dark myths. Then, there’s another of Moscow's main attractions - the marvellous Bolshoi Theatre, yew simply cant leave Moscow without taking in its breathtaking architecture. Engrained in the fabric of Russia's cultural heritage, virtuoso performers such as prima ballerina Galina Ulanova, opera singer Feodor Chaliapin and pianist, composer and conductor Sergei Rachmaninoff once stood centre stage of this vaunted institution.
- The memorial complex on Poklonnaya Hill was constructed in the glory and honour of our heroes who defended our nation in the many crucial battles of the Great Patriotic War (WWII). This is a place that embodies a particularly acute and inextricable link between older ancf younger generations. Moving on to the Moscow International Business Centre, not dubbed ‘Moscow City' for nothing, a true glimpse of the future in the present. This incredible, rather jaw-dropping project in the capital has shown that Moscow has come to accept the age of the skyscraper. Finally, the stunning views from the observation deck at Sparrow Hills will leave professional and amateur photographers alike itching to capture them. How could one resist?
The most beautiful of all the world's cities - lady Moscow invites you out on a date!

Metro tour – daily
Palaces for ordinary people – that was what Stalin promised to the people when the construction of the Moscow Metro began between the World Wars. The communist dictator hadn’t promised too much. No other underground system in the world can boast such spectacular architecture – chandeliers, decorations, stucco, paintings on the walls – each station is individually designed. No wonder that Moscow residents love their metro. I will guide you through the bustle of one of the busiest subways in the world and show you the most beautiful stations Moscow city has.

Tour of Communist Moscow – every day
After the Communist October Revolution in 1918, Moscow became the capital of the Soviet Empire and was the center of socialist orbit for more than 70 years. This left its mark on Moscow, even if the USSR disintegrated more than a quarter of a century ago. The city streets are full of remnants of the communist regime and the Cold War. This is a walking tour where I will show you the most exciting places in Soviet Moscow: from the notorious KGB headquarters, also known as Lubyanka to the Karl Marx Monument to small hidden remains from the time of hammer and sickle. You will also learn about Stalin’s Great Terror political campaign and the system of the GULAG and how the USSR, the communist Russian republic, became modern Russia.
Time: by arrangement, daily Duration: 2 hours Price: 21 $ Students and children: 17 $ Language: English Included in the price: the guided tour
Alternative Moscow Tour – daily
Explore the unseen Moscow with your Moscow private guide and discover a range of sights during this alternative walking tour. Away from the main tourist spots (in the central district of Kitay-Gorod), just a short walk from Red Square and St. Basil’s Cathedral, you suddenly find yourself in one of the trendiest districts of Moscow. This place not only has trendy cafes and green squares, but here you can see the most beautiful spray works (according to Albrecht Dürer), hangout-places of the youth and hipsters, as well as learn what Moscow looked like in the 19th century. Here you will also learn exciting and even bloody stories about famous gangsters, eccentric business people and legends like the wandering preacher Rasputin, who is known in Russia either as the “holy devil” or the mad monk. To learn a little more about Moscow’s culture, this is the tour for you. On my alternative tour, you will get to know Moscow away from the tourist hotspots. This tour is of 2 hours duration and you will experience the following on the tour:
- St. John’s Hill, a quiet oasis right in the center, where time has stopped as it did in pre-Communist times
- Khokhlovka Art Center, where Russian hipsters and street artists hang out
- Samoskvorechye District where you can see beautiful streets and hear stories from old Moscow

Today the Kremlin still harbors numerous secrets and has palaces and cathedrals, surrounded by Kremlin Wall. The current wall was constructed between the 15 th and 16 th centuries, but the original wall was made of wood around the year 1147. The Kremlin Wall became an important symbol of Moscow’s importance in the Russian Empire. This top tourist destination attracts millions of people every year and there are various sights to see.

A Moscow Free Walking Tour of the Iconic Red Square
Updated March 10th, 2020
This post might contain affiliate links. That means I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you, if you buy through my site. I appreciate your support of my site.
No visit to Moscow, Russia is complete unless you take a walk around the famous Red Square and see the iconic sights of the city. One of the best ways to see all the famous landmarks in Moscow and learn a little something about them too is on a free Moscow walking tour through the Red Square.
Continue reading for a sneak peek at what you will see on your free tour in Moscow and for tips on both the tour and visiting the sights. Make sure to save some time during your trip to go inside of the magnificent buildings because you will not be going in the buildings during the tour.
The State Historical Museum
The Moscow free walking tour begins at the Marshal Zhukov monument in front of the State Historical Museum . You can’t miss this massive red building. The museum’s interior is almost as spectacular as the artifacts you can see within. Read my post dedicated to the museum here to find out more on what you can see and tips for visiting. Admission is free with the Moscow City Pass .
The Kremlin
Behind the walls of the Kremlin lie the working offices of Russian’s government and president. When visiting the Kremlin you can see the Armory Chamber, Cathedral Square, the Patriach’s Palace and many more cathedrals. You definitely want to buy tickets ahead of time so you avoid the long-lines. You can get free admission with the Moscow City Pass . It’s also worth it to take a guided tour if you don’t speak Russian so you have more of an understanding of what you are seeing.
St. Basil’s Cathedral
If asked to conquer up an image of Moscow, St. Basil’s Cathedral might just be the most likely image you picture. The cathedral has a museum that you can visit at a later time. You can buy tickets at the ticket kiosk outside the cathedral or receive free admission with the Moscow City Pass .
Moskva River
Next up on the tour is the Moskva River which runs through the center of Moscow. A cruise on the Moskva River is a great way to see the city from a different perspective.
GUM Shopping Mall
Who would think a mall would be one of Moscow’s most well-known attractions? GUM shopping mall across from the Kremlin makes up one of the four sides of the Red Square. The stores might be a bit too pricey for shopping, but the gorgeous interior is worth a visit. If that doesn’t convince you, the mall has some of the best ice cream! GUM is the only building you go inside during the free walking tour. There are pay bathrooms you can use while you have a few minutes of free time.
Kazan Cathedral
Located on the northeast corner of the Red Square, the Kazan Cathedral is another impressive dome-shaped building in Moscow that is also an active place of worship. Entering the cathedral is allowed, but remember to be respectful if people are worshipping.
Bolshoi Theater
Contrary to the previous buildings, the Bolshoi Theater isn’t along one of the four sides of the Red Square. Located a few minutes away, the theater is one of the best theaters in the world. Make sure to come back for a guided tour of the inside or make reservations far ahead of time to attend a ballet or opera.
Alexander Gardens
The tour ends near the Alexander Gardens , a free public park located along the western Kremlin walls. The garden’s green lawns, sculptures and water fountains offer a nice place to take a stroll or relax a bit after some busy sightseeing.
You can visit all these sites on your own, but the best part of doing the Moscow free tour is that you learn more information and have the potential to meet new people!
During my tour I started to talk to a woman from Malaysia and she invited me to join her and her friends for a Russian meal afterwards. It’s these little impromptu meetings and opportunities that I love most about traveling and add more to the sightseeing experience. While I was a little hesitant about going to the tour myself I told myself it would be a great opportunity to possibly meet new people. I love when things work out like that!
If you have already seen the iconic sights of the Red Square and are looking for other things to do in Moscow check out my What to Do in Moscow post that gives more off-the beaten track things to do in Moscow!
Moscow Free Walking Tour Visiting Information
Moscow Free Walking Tours
How to Get There
The Moscow Free Walking Tour begins at the Marshal Zhukov monument in front of the State Historical Museum (a large red building). The website shows a map with the exact meeting point.
To get to the red square area you can take the blue 3 metro line to the Ploshchad Revolyutsii stop, or the green 2 line to the Teatralnaya station or the red 1 line to the Okhotny Ryad station. For more on how to use the metro read my Moscow Metro Guide .
Tours every day at 10:30am – 1pm in English
If you need a toilet before the start of the tour the Okhotny Ryad and GUM shopping malls are both close to the start of the tour. You will need to pay to use the toilets. There is a quick break mid-way through the tour at the GUM shopping mall where you can use the toilet if needed.
During the mid-way break in the tour you can buy some ice cream at the GUM shopping mall. There aren’t many other options or time for anything else. After the tour there are a lot of restaurants in the area. There are a couple of Varenichnaya №1 locations nearby if you would like some authentic Russian food. Their speciality is Russian dumplings. Another classic choice nearby is Grand Cafe Dr. Jhivago. While you can try traditional Russian foods like borscht and Olivier Salad, you may need a reservation. GUM has several restaurants, including a couple of buffets upstairs.
Recommendations
While I would start off your visit to Moscow with a tour of the Red Square, make sure to come back to each place to tour the inside. If you are visiting several sights consider buying the Moscow City Pass to save money on admissions.
Other Tour Options
Another company Moscow Free Tour does a similar free walking tour in the Red Square. Check the site for the details on the starting point and times. If you prefer a private paid tour with a hotel pick-up and a visit to St. Basil’s Cathedral included check out this tour . For a private paid tour with a hotel pick-up and a visit to the Kremlin included you may want to take this tour or this one . Even if you don’t typically take tours, I would recommend taking tours as much as possible in Moscow. Many people do not speak English and most information is not in English either.

The Kremlin looks rather imposing. It would be great to explore the history in Moscow.
There is a lot of history in Moscow to explore!
What a handy guide to get the most of Moscow’s red square! I’ve always wanted to try a walking tour and this looks like the perfect place to start!
I really enjoy walking tours, I think they are a great way to get to know a new place!
You have highlighted all the main sights around and in the Red Square indeed! I have visited Moscow in winter and the atmosphere was magical…even though it was cold 🙂 I’m looking forward to visiting in summer too!
Yes, there is a magical feel during the winter. I have to say I prefer the warmer, brighter summers though 🙂

I am planning to go to Moscow and St. Petersburg this year so reading this was very helpful. I would love to do the walking tour! What time of year did you do it? I am planning to go in August as I really can’t stand the cold 😀 Do you think August might be a good time to visit Moscow? Thank you so much for your information!
I did the walking tour in September. July and August are the best times to visit Moscow in my opinion, so you are going at a great time! I lived in Moscow for a year so I have a lot of posts about Moscow and a couple for St. Petersburg too. Please check out my other posts as you are planning your trip and feel free to send any questions my way!
I’m a huge fan of taking free walking tours whenever my husband and I travel. We learn more about the history from the local’s perspective. Your walking tour in Moscow looks fun. The St. Basil’s Cathedral is beautiful and would love to see it. Thanks for sharing the must-see places in Moscow!
I’m a big fan of free walking tours too! I completely agree that you get a good perspective and introduction to the history of the city.
I would love to take the walking tour to get a good coverage of the area! The tip about paying for the bathrooms is great. That’s something I didn’t realize when I went to Europe for the first time from the US.
I always find it annoying paying for bathrooms in Europe!
I visited Moscow in June this year for the World Cup and I loved it. St. Basil’s Cathedral was the highlight for me, it’s such an impressive piece of architecture. I would’ve liked to visit more of Russia but maybe next time!
I really enjoyed Moscow during the World Cup too. The city was much livelier than usual!
I have been to St. Petersburg but never to Moscow. I think that these kind of tours are very useful to gather many information but I second your suggestion to visit the palaces inside as they have stunning interior decor and art treasures.
Yes, I think both going on tours and getting an overview and touring the inside of places are good to do.

St. Basil’s cathedral is definitely a beautiful place to visit. I would also love to stroll by the Alexander gardens and maybe spend some time in the shopping mall call mom maybe visit the theater, also I would love to visit Kremlin and the State Historical Museum. That’s a great list you have managed to provide here.
Never been to Russia, but the country’s history and culture has always fascinated me. Great list of things to do in Moscow’s Red Square. Kremlin is definitely on top of my list!
Russia does have a fascinating history and culture!
The architecture here always looks so beautiful. I would love to go to Russia. Some helpful tips here that would really help me navigate a future trip. I love the Russian ballet so a trip to the theater would be a must for me.

Henry Francis du Pont, the collector, was born here in 1880. In 1902, a major addition was constructed across the north facade.
