The administrative center of the Moscow region is Moscow. The geographical location of the territory of the Moscow region determines the generally flat nature of the relief with alternating hilly hills and flat lowlands.

The poet William Blake argued that the whole world can be seen in one flower bud. In the Moscow region, many generations of Russians collected and painstakingly preserved the best artifacts of world culture, repeated famous historical landscapes, and copied world-famous palaces and castles. Here you can visit the holy land without leaving the expanses of our northern Motherland. In the 17th century, the banks of the Istra River, with their bends, miraculously repeated the bends of the Jordan River, and our Moscow region Jerusalem was reflected in its waters. Mounts Zion, Tabor, Eleon and Galgotha ​​grew. For its beauty and genuine luxury, the Arkhangelskoye estate has been turned into a “Versailles” near Moscow, and in the south of the Moscow region, in the steppes of the Prioksko-Terrasny Reserve, real bison graze freely. And if you like the overseas exoticism of a tropical hotel, the hospitable and zealous Moscow region will offer it to you.

In the Moscow region there are several deposits of medicinal peat mud, which are effectively used for treatment in sanatoriums. The possibility of carrying out sanatorium-resort treatment and recreation in the Moscow region is determined by the following factors: the absence of an acclimatization, adaptation and readaptation reaction for residents of central Russia; all-season; developed recreational and medical-diagnostic infrastructure of sanatoriums near Moscow; proximity to leading medical centers.
