The Journey to Christmas festival venues are now searchable on the popular geolocation service 2GIS. It displays locations on a map across all districts of the capital and helps you navigate the events taking place at each venue.
To find them, simply enter the search term "Christmas Travel" in the service's search bar. The sites will then appear on a map with detailed descriptions and photos, and the navigation tool will help you plan the optimal route.
"This year, the 'Journey to Christmas' festival took place at 35 venues across Moscow, each with its own unique program—from creative workshops to performances and concerts. We are delighted to be collaborating with the festival. 2GIS will help residents and visitors of the capital navigate and choose the most suitable leisure option, whether the closest or most interesting, and plan the optimal route—no matter where in the city they are," noted Dinara Zaydullina, the developer's marketing specialist.
Using the geolocation service, users can learn about all the festival's events and find atmospheric venues featuring carousels, ice shows, and master classes. For example, from December 18, 2025, to January 11, 2026, Tverskoy Boulevard will host a gallery of beauty Christmas trees created in collaboration with Russian brands. And Manezhnaya Square will host a magical village of antique cotton toys and a fair where you can buy gifts and souvenirs.
"Our collaboration with the geoservice has been bringing the holiday closer to Muscovites and visitors for years. Thanks to the integration, finding any festival site is now as easy as looking into a neighbor's yard. People not only get an address—they see photos, learn what's happening right here, right now, and instantly plan a route. This is the convenience we've always wanted for our guests, so that Christmas feels not only in the air but also within reach—on a smartphone, on a map, just a few clicks away from the start of the adventure," said Pavel Gusev, a representative of the organizing committee for the "Moscow Seasons" and "Journey to Christmas" street festival series.
The Journey to Christmas festival is held as part of the project Winter in Moscow and combines the traditions and innovations of winter recreation. Venues across the city will feature over 170 ice shows, fairs offering unique merchandise, skating rinks with convenient infrastructure, unique photo zones, galleries of decorated Christmas trees, and hundreds of events—festive, sporting, creative, and entertaining. The main venue on Manezhnaya Square and surrounding venues will feature free performances for children, a "Strongest Resident of the District" competition, creative and culinary master classes, and other activities.
Winter in Moscow— the main event of the season. The project aims to strengthen social and family ties, create an atmosphere of unity and mutual support, and provide assistance to those currently defending the Motherland. Through a variety of programs, including cultural, educational, and sporting events, it brings together Muscovites and visitors of all ages and interests, creating an environment for creative development, active recreation, and warm communication. Particular attention is paid to supporting participants and veterans of the special military operation and their families, as well as all those providing assistance to the front.
