Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you love astronomy, Moscow has a rich astronomy heritage<\/strong>. You can find museums, monuments, streets and hotels dedicated to the space age in several parts of the city. In this post I have prepared a Cosmonautic Route through Moscow<\/strong> guide, in which you will discover the fascinating history of the Russian space age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before beginning this guide, it should be noted that in Russia, the Cosmonautics Day<\/strong> is celebrated on April 12th<\/sup><\/strong>, which is a special day established in 1962 to commemorate the first manned space trip, as it took place on April 12th<\/sup>, 1961 by the Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, on board the Vostok 1 spacecraft that orbited the Earth for the first time. It is a day of celebrations related to cosmonautics in Russia, but it is a working day. The entrance to the Cosmonautics Museum is usually free this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this map you can see where all the museums, monuments, streets and hotels mentioned in this Cosmonautic Route are located:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
