Discover Moscow is a joint project by the Department of Education and Science, the Department of Cultural Heritage and the Department of Information Technologies of Moscow. Interactive showplace guides contain descriptions of more than 2 thousand buildings, 659 monuments, 326 museums, 383 territories, facts about 267 historical figures and 145 thematic walking routes.

Every user can suggest their own route or to add information about the objects including audio- visual elements.

Discover Moscow app is available on AppStore and GooglePlay https://www.mos.ru/mosapps/#mosgid.
The map of the service shows objects near to the user’s location. In Augmented Reality mode users can now see the information about objects or showplaces interesting for them. The App also allows to make personal selections by architectural styles or year of construction and to see personal statistics.

The Augmented Reality mode allows not only to get information about the object but also to see some parts of its history using the digital vision technologies.

All online guides are created to make online walks possible, too. This is in demand during the pandemic. For example, the users can see Moscow sighs from a birds eye view, walk down the stairs of the famous Pashkov’s house, to see the details of the Petrovsky Palace and Hotel “Metropol” interiors without leaving their homes.
