Lonely Planet review

Look out for the small churches along ul Varvarka, incongruously surrounded by general concrete sprawl. There is the 17th-century Monastery of the Sign, the Church of St Maxim the Blessed (1698) and St Barbara's Church (1795-1804). While the horrendous Hotel Rossiya has been demolished now, Sir Norman Foster is slated to build Europe's tallest skyscraper on the site, to be completed in 2011.
