Good Day All! I'm a newbie to the Land Rover bug and have a ton of questions, of course. I bought my LR2 in Oct 2008, just purchased an '04 Disco II SE, and already have my eyes set on either a Series III or a IIa 88" for my future purchase. Questionette #1 : I've been drooling over all the pics of the Series vehicles on the internet and keep seeing this Safari (double skin) roof. What's it for and does it actually work? Questionette #2 : Not a gearhead by any means, yet not afraid to work with wrenches, I'm keeping my sights towards the Series III (1984) simply because of the coils. Is it expensive to have leaf springs converted to a coil or is money better spent just looking for a good condition coil spring? My thoughts are that if a good condition IIa comes along with leaf springs the cost to convert to coils is better than finding a Series III that doesn't match the condition of the IIa. Thanks All.

i don't have a safari top, mine's canvas, but everyone who has 'em will tell you they do keep you cooler, as long as you're moving. parbolic or oem springs are easy to find and install (the install part is a lie, the old springs will be a bear to ge off) coils are for goils. real men (excuse he sexist sarcasim) ride springs

You'll find this board to be a wealth of expertise and people who share the Rover passion. I'm in a similar boat as you - having sold a Disco a few years ago, I'm looking for a Series IIa or III to get back into the fold. As such, I've been checking out the different roof options and am interested in replies regarding the safari top as well. My plan had been to swap a hard top for canvas in the summer... although when it comes to logistics I dont have a place to store a hard top when not in use. A safari top might be a nice mix between the two. Keep us posted on your search!

The safari top is an extra thin aluminium sun sheet over the basic roof and a set of 4 vents to let air in when you are moving. They work up to a point but you are still going to be sweating in the desert. The sun sheets are not very robust so you can't climb on the roof and you have to be careful with roof racks etc. I'm currently beating out about 100 dents on the one on my project 109. They are desireable for most environemnts though. A SIII is still leaf sprung. The boingers only came in with the 90/110. If you must have coils then buy a 90. A series can be made to ride nicely with parabolic leafs but it ain't no SUV. I'd advise a bit more research before parting with money on one of these trucks as, I'm sure Nick will testify to this, there is a lot to learn and an educated buyer is a happy owner.

Converting a series truck to coils is probably not a practical solution. You need to make a decesion if you want a series truck or if you would be better suited to a defender(coil trucks) Where in NY are you located?

Amen! there's a lot of trucks out there for a lot of money and if thats not a concern then you can find something asap...but if you want to make an informed decision, then it takes some time, a lot of patience and some reading. I've been reading (and loving) the Restoration Manual which has a great section on finding and buying old rovers - what to look for, etc. Here are a few of the threads that have helped me from this board: Shamless plug for two of my own http://www.roversnorth.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6566 http://www.roversnorth.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6393 Tread on someone looking at a IIa http://www.roversnorth.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6342 and everyone loves the rover p0rn here http://www.roversnorth.com/forums/sh...?t=4702&page=2 For shopping: http://www.roversnorth.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=28 http://www.landroverexchange.com/ Craigslist is also a nice resource - google craigs list search engines - there are tools out there to search multiple locations at once. I nerded-out and wrote my own code to scour the net for series trucks, its been worthwhile as most are not in my home state. Good luck - the hunt is 1/2 the fun (and 1/2 the frustration too )

I previously owned a '67 109 station wagon with the safari top - real cool and could carry a few people nicely. I now own a '68 109 regular (pick-up) with a pick-up top, a full hard top (not safari) and a full canvas top. I believe I now have the best situation as I basically have many vehicles in one awesome ride. I run the pick-up top in the winter and switch over to canvas once it warms up. I really like the 109 size as it offers a little more leg room, and can carry a lot more stuff. Now fitted with parabolic leafs, it rides like, well, a series land rover with parabolics.... it is what it is, but it's sure fun! As mentioned, you should do a lot more research before you buy - try to find one of us locally who can get you in a truck so you can get the feel of it. There isn't much like riding in a Series Land Rover.

What's it for and does it actually work? others have answered the function so I'll throw in my 2cents on if it works. nice part on a 109 is that 2 vents are above the rear seat so air hits that area directly and in my case, the 2, 4-paw drive Rovers sitting back there like it. the other 2 vents are in the rear seating area so that keeps that area "air circulated" or AC. it is a nice feature when the temp is "nice" for you - it also can be like a convection oven when it is too hot! Jaime

One Life Live It

I have a 109 safari top riding on parabolics (new style leaf springs) and it is quite comfortable to drive. I've looked at converting to coils and is not worth it in my opinion. The advantage to coils is better articulation of the axles so in hard core off-road excursions the coils are better at keeping all 4 in contact with the ground. It all depends on where you plan to drive. The extra skin on the top does keep it cooler and adds extra protection agains leaks but does somehow manage to get a lot of abuse (saves the real roof from abuse). If you plan to add a full rack then maybe it's not as much of an issue but the vents are nice.

Safari Roof

Hi all, I have a Safari roof currently on my series 3 that I will be swapping for a standard roof. I keep hearing that Safari roofs are fairly uncommon and perhaps even sought after.

Anyway I am not sure if the roof has been created by a previous owner to look like a Safari roof and was looking for information here prior to getting rid of it.

The reason I think it has been fabricated is, it appears to have no internal vents to let the air into the car, which I am positive, looking at pictures of other Safari roofed Land Rovers, it should have. The roof also had a roof lining when I purchased that looked factory fitted.

If it has been fabricated someone has done a very good job as the panel is well fitted. So I suppose the questions is did all Safari roofed cars have internal air vents. The car is a 1983 series 3 SWB.

Thanks in advance

In Portugal is common to see safari roofs without the vents.

An example:

Thanks for the feedback so far... I have had a good look at it now and it seems to be too well done to have been fabricated by a previous owner... So just maybe they started fitting Safari roofs without vents in later models... Ala Portugal.

JBorges - Thanks for the piccie thats exactly as it looks minus your roofs battle scars... Mines actually in good knick just I would have kept it except I seeing it adding some additional drag factor and I do not see much call for it when working my gundog October thru till Jan..

In fact we have 3 types of safaris roofs:

- Hardtop + double skin

- Hardtop + double skin + alpines windows

- Hardtop + double skin + alpines windows + vents

In fact we have 3 types of safaris roofs: - Hardtop + double skin - Hardtop + double skin + alpines windows - Hardtop + double skin + alpines windows + vents

That would further explain it then as it was originally a standard hardtop van..

Thanks for the info

If it's in good nick and doesn't leak like a sieve (no vents), why ditch it? They are remarkably effective (by Land Rover standards) in dissipating heat.

Good point, I prefer the look of the standard roof. The car will be mainly used as a hardtop in the winter carrying me and the dog around shoots. The summer I plan to have sticks and canvas.

Oh safari roof i like it.

maybe this mount i can buy Land Rover s3 3 door on Chiang Mai THAILAND.

Hi guys! I have exactly the same tropical roof on my land rover (Series 2), but with alpine windows/vents. It has the fixed rounded back windows instead of the sliding windows more commonly seen. Does anyone know the history of this type of roof? Many thanks. Cheers. Pete.

Les ge some terminologies right - where the roof of the Series 1-3 has alpine lights etc this is a safari roof.  If the roof of the vehicle then has the extra sheet metal roof that sits about 1.5" above the roof to provide insulation this is called a tropical roof.  A safari roof also normally had vents in it and if also fitted with a tropical roof, the tropical roof had bulges in it so the vents could be opened.

So you can have a normal roof with a tropical roof on it and you can have a safari roof with no tropical roof on it or some you can.

My Series 1 with Safari Roof and Tropical Roof

My Series 3 with normal roof and Tropical Roof - but note the cutout and vents at the front - not standard.

That’s really nice!  88 isn’t it? 

Yes is a 57 88" Station Wagon. An exceptionally rare vehicle in Australia - a few 86" exist but I have only found one other 88" Station Wagon.

Rare Safari Roof! 1963 Land Rover IIA

Move over old Jeeps, Scouts, and Broncos, today we are going to feature a 1963 Land Rover Series IIA. These rough and ready, go-anywhere utility vehicles don’t make the web pages here often but this beautiful Bloomfield, Michigan resident is certainly worthy of review. It appears to have been restored so let’s look it over in detail. If you’re interested, it’s available, here on eBay for a current no-reserve bid of $18,800 with twenty-one bids tendered so far.

So, our subject vehicle is a Series IIA (’61-’71) and not just a Series II (’58-’61). Research indicates that three body styles were available, a two and four-door wagon as well as a pickup truck version. Export markets consumed approximately 70% of production and our find is a North American spec vehicle.

The finish is described by the seller as being “ stunning ” so I imagine that it’s a repaint though that’s not specifically stated. The seller mentions, “ It’s in great condition throughout and everything works as it should including heat and fan blower, all-new electrical harness, new brakes, new clutch, new high Amps alternator, new battery, new Weber carburetor, new fuel tank, all-new suspension, and leafs, new rebuilt wiper motors, new OEM lights, new door locks and latches, new ignition, new windshield defrosts heater ducts, and so much more. Receipts included in sales “. The receipts should foot back to the $20K that he claims he spent on mechanical and electrical work. As for the body, there’s no sign of offroad 4X4 mayhem or rust. Perhaps its most notable feature is the raised, double-skin safari roof – it’s supposedly a rare option but the seller neglects to tell us how rare. Finally, I think it might take me a while to get used to looking through the windshield and spying a tire affixed to the bonnet!

The listing states, “ It starts as it should, it drives straight and powerful and is great on freeway speed and especially with the new overdrive now installed ” and that’s thanks to a 77 HP, 2.25 liter, in-line four-cylinder engine and a four-speed manual transmission. That honestly doesn’t sound like enough oomph to move a 3,700 lb. vehicle with alacrity but so be it as the seller claims.

The interior is all business – spartan, efficient, and ready for whatever the wild chooses to throw at it. The seating upholstery and floor mats show as new and I have to say that I don’t think I’ve ever seen a defroster setup like that before. The no-frills instrument panel has a few scratches but that’s it and it doesn’t appear as if any aspect of this Land Rover has had a rhinoceros run-in.

I have never had the opportunity to drive or ride in a Land Rover such as this Series IIA but I imagine it’s a bit primitive but would be perfect for surveying your north forty or whatever you call your kingdom. And that leads us to “ What to do with it ” time. If you were interested in this proper British four-by-four, how would you employ it?

If you’re going full Landy-perv, there’s a forward-control mid-60s former fire engine one for sale in Loanhead. An ocean away, admittedly, but there’s a phone number shown in the windscreen if you want it.

What you really want is an ex-British Army 101 FC Vampire radio truck (or, an ambulance as second best). Super rare and cool- what else could you want? I tried to buy one in Great Britain when they were first released from active duty with the military, but they were snapped up at mostly huge prices by LR collectors.

See: http://www.oldrover.com/101/Vampire/Vampire.htm

or: https://www.lrukforums.com/threads/101-forward-control-radio.29273/

Interesting reading.

This is a beautifully done Land Rover.

I have a 73 Series III — same emgine and drivetrain, with an overdrive. I can comfortably drive at 60. 65 is pushing it.

The only thing that will rub on this Land Rover is a polishing cloth. I really like these but not as a British car show entrant. And I’m not sure even with overdrive that you would keep up with traffic on a 75 mph interstate.

Well, I could maybe live with staring at the spare tire going down the road, but what the he!!s up with the dash, driver and passenger climate control? Lol. I remember these on some TV show back in the 60s chasing wild animals in Africa or somewhere. Homely little critters they are

The bits covering the windscreens are for de-misting. Driving in the rain with the windows rolled up leads to the inside windows sweating like mad and a pain to drive. Use to put my daily rubbish in the tire on the front of my Landie to trundle it up to the public rubbish collection bins; very handy. These are hands-on, four turns lock to lock, zero power steering, bicep and callus building cars. Driving one is better than going to the gym. Seventy five MPH is about their limit and the steering feels like it’s on novocain. Not for the faint hearted.

75? I never had my 2A over 65, if that (with an overdrive). The desire to go faster in a vehicle like this (same as a Unimog) often turns into a case of “be careful what you wish for”. On a long downhill, you can get them to go faster (assuming that you haven’t down shifted), but that’s not always a good thing…

There appears to be some bubbling of paint in the rear, perhaps other areas, so I would not call the finish “stunning”, except maybe against what it could look like for the age or other examples. The frame is a general issue with these, and while the limited pictures of the frame appear to show some surface rust, the frame may be just fine. I’d imagine at some point it had been replaced. I’m surprised that the seller did not treat the rusty areas better. Due to many aluminum body panels, rust does not form, but corrosion does – so word to the wise.

DelBoy describes the handling perfectly, and the ride is stiff and choppy.

Living in Northern New Hampshire in the late 60’s the used Land Rover at the VW dealer seemed to be a perfect vehicle for the upcoming winter. After some “discussion” the selling dealer agreed to meet their 30 day warranty and have the rod knock fixed. Yes, it was choppy but also would go anywhere as long as you mastered the lack of synchro in first and second. The upshift was actually easy if it was timed, usually no need to double-clutch. The Rover was also great in mud season. We often pulled pickup trucks that had buried themselves. However, all is not aluminum: driving home one night I stepped on the high beam switch and it fell through the rotted floor! And, don’t forget: 6 volts, positive ground. We did one long drive to Boston for a wedding, must have been about 90 deg. outside but a little warmer in the car, no tropical roof on ours, we did not do that again. Moving the spare tire to the back door marginally improved the airflow into the vents under the windshield glass too.

I rebuilt the engine in my 2A. When I picked up the engine parts from the machine shop, the invoice had a charge for “Machining of tractor crankshaft”… yes, it was really stout!

The Safari roof is curious rather than rare, but a nice thing to have. They were pretty common in hot climate markets.

My Dad had a ‘65 Series IIA about 20 years ago. He only had it for about a year and he sold it. I’m currently restoring a ‘62 Willys Jeep Station Wagon but I still wish we still had the Rover!

GPH 373K – 1971 Land Rover Series 2A – Rare Searle Safari

$ 29,995.00

Primary Vehicle Information

Description.

Most Land Rover enthusiasts will have heard the name “Searle Carawagon” – a 109″ camper with its distinctive “pop up” roof.

Lesser known is the “Searle Safari” – which is based on an 88″ Short Wheel Base. It did not have the pop up roof – but front seats that folded into a double bed, partial bulkhead removal (behind front seats) and a full roof rack were standard features.

Included in the “optional extras” – was a pull out tent for the rear.

This particular example has been the subject of a previous 3 year restoration and was purchased by the previous owner in 2006 and exported to Ireland.

The Land Rover has recently returned to England and is registered with Swansea on it’s original number plate.

The restoration included a Galvanised chassis, refurbished bulkhead, rebuilt engine and full respray.

Other features include:

• Galvanised Roof Rack (original Searle specification)
• Pull out rear tent (original Searle specification)
• Fold down front seats (original Searle specification)
• Bulkhead removal (original Searle specification)
• MAP Free Wheel Hubs
• Front and rear lamp guards
• Safari roof (original Searle specification)
• Sliding side windows
• Unleaded cyl head
• 7.50 x 16 tyres
• 2 x spare wheels
• Original Instruction manual
• Original Owners maintenance manual
• Original optional equipment booklet
• Selection of spare parts

Quite a rare Land Rover and would be ideal for someone looking for an occasional camper.

Lots of history and receipts including MOT certificates back to April 1975.

Only covered 2,500 miles since rebuild.

Looking for another keeper who will cherish her.

Roof in body color and safari top panel in white.

Safari Roof Finishes

• Add to quote

Help me decide, please! I like them both but can't make up my mind!!!  

I dig the green body w/ white roof, NTM it will make for a cooler(temp wise) interior  

Hi, I think the white top always looks good on the road, unless you use your car for bird / wildlife photography. I have painted my series 3 in Shire Blue with a white top. looks great. I have also painted over the galvinised bits in blue and the windscreen suround and center bar in matt black. photo can be seen in my profile Cheers Nilhan  

The white roof is original and I believe looks better.  

If you're still looking at the bronze green; I'd go with the factory option codes. I've got a SII, a SIIa, and a SIII dealer brochure; and all three have the same thing. Truck panels in Bronze green, heels in LimeStone, and safari top in White. Though I do like the above post idea of doing the safari top panel in LimeStone as well as the wheels. It would blend the truck together nicely. I would go Truck in Bronze green, top in Bronze green. Then the safari roof panel, and the wheels in LimeStone.  

Plus, considering the two states you frequent most, a lighter top would definitely be better for your interior temps.  

Paisley.  

the white looks good. but its a tough call.  

I think I may go against what I initially wanted to do (roof in body color and sun sheet in white) and go with the All White Roof. We'll see what happens.  

IIRC the white used on the roof IS called Limestone. There seems to be some difference in the colour scheme depending where your Land Rover was destined from the factory. It seems that world-wide the roof and top were always Limestone but In the UK & most of Europe, the panels around the windows were also Limestone. For the North American market, and I don't know where else, these panels were the body colour with the Limestone roof. Not always the case, but seems to be generally true.  

I do not think that you will find this is correct. The door tops are always the same colour as the body. On the short wheel bases, the rear side window panel may have been white as the short wheel bases where classed as a ute and the roof and side panels were options. The long wheel base station wagons only came with a roof and therefore all the window side panels were painted the same colour as the body. Most series roofs are white.  

If the photo is of your truck, it looks like the section has been painted (badly). If it is a 5 door, it would not have come from the factory like that, unless the roof has been taken from a white 5 door.  

It is a 5-door. everything from the galvanized cappings down has been painted over several times. But the roof and side panels are definitely still the original color.  

From your photo, they have been resprayed at least once. But it is not worth arguing about.  

:::vitual hand shake:::...lol Cool. The interior however is gorgeous...the bronze green is still vibrant under light.  

Like many-a-thing rover paint schemes vary...... But as a general rule on a series "station wagon" 88" swb rear window sides limestone/ matching the top. 109" lwb rear window sides body color/ matching the lower waist line and door tops of the vehicle. Cheers Dave  

My vote!  

Original Colour Scheme was... Hi all, This is my first post, so please excuse me if I inadvertently break all the rules or offend everyone! I'm currently restoring a 1964 S2A 109 safari in the UK. I bought it as a well worn but very original car a few months ago. Apart from the safari roof which was white, the whole car was deep bronze green, including the "normal" roof - even the wheels were green. For my taste, it was a bit too much of one colour, so I'm going for the original scheme but I'm painting the wheels with Limestone. Note that the original white safari roof looked "white", but limestone is more beige than white, but I guess that 45 years of sun has bleached it. There should be a couple of photos uploaded. View attachment 18251 View attachment 18252 The second photo shows the ultra rare transparent version, only available at the start of April each year. Here's a question for all you rivet counters out there. What colour should the safari roof screws be? - the ones that join safari to the normal. Mine were totally rusted. TTFN C

I take delivery of MINE then. Ian

Ian Safari roofs???? Are you talking about the tropical roof (88" Part Number R332194, 109" R332987, truck cab R330894)? The tropical roof fitted on with a set of nylon spacers, set screws, nuts and a rubber washer (R302373) underneath the skin (inside) of the hard top. Diana

thanks guys, post up pics to, will help others in the future too. cheers, Serg

Originally Posted by JDNSW Actually, in my experience the spacers were rubber not nylon... John Not any of the ones I have now or have ever owned (5) have had rubber spacers. They have all been white plastic material, nylon is my best guess . Even the NOS kit acquired on the Putty Road has the "nylon" spacers, they have a habit of becoming brittle and cracking with long term U/V exposure and from the screws expanding from rust. My advice if fitting a tropical roof would be to ignore the steel OEM screws and use marine grade stainless mushroom headed screws instead.

Maybe that is why the ones I remember were rubber (probably door stops) - they were replacements! John

That could be, or even that people bought the panel as a replacement part but when they heard the price of the fitting kit they decided to use door stoppers instead. My tropical roofs have all been a part of the original fitings to Station Wagon roofs or the recent acquisition of a NOS truck cab tropical roof. If people want to make up some spacers I'll measure them next time I'm down the coast. Diana

And they were definitely called "tropical roof" not "safari roof".

CLASSIC 1979 LAND ROVER SERIES III 109 W/ SAFARI ROOF 83K UNRESTORED 12 SEATER

1979 Land Rover Defender 109 LWB Additional Info:

Solid, unrestored original 1979 Land Rover Series III. This is a solid Safari-roof 109 Wagon model in the desirable TWELVE SEATER configuration. Runs and drives well for a vintage 109. 83K original miles. Desirable 2.6L straight 6 cyl motor, not the 2.25 4 cyl motor. Salisbury rearend. Rebuilt carburetor, new water pump, exhaust gaskets, battery, HD alternator and brake master cylinder. New set of GOODYEAR Wrangler tires all around. Two spares. RUST FREE chassis, floorboards, doors, bulkhead and cross-member. Originally Marine blue, painted over in Wimbledon beige. No dents, accidents or damage. NEEDS PAINT. Nice original black leatherette interior, with good headliner, door panels and VERY CLEAN seats. All lenses replaced, vintage foglights. Still has its fold-down steps all the way around. Perfect grille. This super vintage 109 would make an excellent base for a concours restoration, an overlander or just drive it as it is. Gets tons of looks and turns heads even from $140K Range Rover drivers!

I am also advertising this vehicle in other venues, and as such, reserve the right to end this listing at any time, should a serious offer present itself. Solid 109s are getting harder and harder to find, specially in original, unaltered condition. Priced right at $22500 and it is turn-key and ready to drive.

I will be glad to assist coordinating shipping of this 109 anywhere nationwide or overseas, at the most economical shipping rate available. Please keep in mind, I do not control transporter pick-up or delivery times; that is pending weather conditions and shipping/ trucking delivery schedules. I will do everything I can on my end to ensure and expedite delivery at the most financially sensible rate on the market.

Should you be the winning bidder, I would like to receive payment within THREE business days, please. Payment can be made via cashier's check or certified funds.

Personal, business or annuity checks may be utilized, but must clear funds first, prior to any transportation arrangements being made.

If you have questions or would like to discuss other payment arrangements be sure to contact me prior to placing a bid.

An alternate method of payment can be done via bank wire transfer to my local CHASE Bank branch here in town. It is a very simple process, and it helps expedite delivery of the car.

Unlike the vast majority of sellers who advertise what they do not know ( let alone some sketchy car dealer!), I am a long-time Land Rover enthusiast and still own four others ( a 2010 Supercharged, a 2000 TreK, a 1987 SWB and a 1966 109). I have owned Land Rovers my whole life, various models and vintages, and know all their quirks well.

I am also a 26 yr veteran of this great country's military, and still serving. My reputation and feedback speak for themselves. I do not play games.

Feel free to EM or call me with questions or serious inquiries. Thank you for viewing

Mattel creations mattel creations, mbx drop - land rover series ii safari.

Built for adventure, this Land Rover will get you over any terrain to endless waves.

The Land Rover Gen II was designed to go everywhere. It even showed up at Matchbox in 1966, suitcases on the roof, and eventually a safari rack. Wherever else you may intend to go, this edition has a very specific destination in mind — with the first appearance of a removable surfboard rack!

The details.

This rad release features a matte yellow finish, blue and white surfboards on the roof, True Grip wheels and tinted windshield — making it ready for the sun and surf! Even the packaging screams adventure with a rock terrain-formed base and coastal diorama.

A Guide to the Most Beautiful Green Spaces in Moscow

Home to more parks than any other city in Russia , Moscow offers a cornucopia of choice when it comes to green spaces. From innovative wild urbanism to 18th-century royal estates, here are the best places to escape from the city buzz in Russia’s capital.

Spread over a territory of almost 300 acres, Gorky Park is Moscow’s most popular green space. Opened in 1928, it was designed as ‘a city inside a city’ with its own telegraph, police unit and a doctor’s office. Some 90 years later, Gorky Park offers everything from segway rides to an open-air movie theatre, through to illuminating lectures and fantastic dining spots.

9 Krimsky Val, Moscow, Russia , +7 495 995 00 20

As the name implies, Muzeon is perfect for art lovers. The park plays host to art fairs, exhibitions, music festivals and video performances. But even if you don’t care for art, Muzeon has a lot to offer: from an elegant boardwalk to hip coffee shops to an in-ground fountain, where you can actually cool off in summer.

Hermitage Garden

Opened in 1894, the Hermitage garden is a lovely compact park, nestled between high rise buildings in Moscow center. Home to theaters New Opera, Hermitage and Sphera, the garden is predictably crowded, with theatre-goers along with office workers from the business centres in Tverskaya – all flock here for a green respite.

3 Karetnyy Ryad, Moscow, Russia , +7 495 699 04 32

Sokolniki Park

An open-air cinema, a rope course, amusement park, bike rentals and more – Sokolniki is 1,275 acres of fun. In winter the whole park turns into one of Moscow’s most famous skating rinks. Sokolniki gradually blends into Losiny Ostrov National Park – the world’s third largest forest in a city.

1 Sokol’nicheskiy Val, bld. 1, Moscow, Russia , +7 499 393 92 22

Izmailovsky Park

Moscow’s biggest park, Izmailovsky stretches for almost 3,800 acres. Particularly favored by hikers and cyclists, the forest-like park is a popular family spot, equipped with a ferris wheel, outdoor gyms and all kinds of places to eat.

7 Alleya Bol’shogo Kruga, Moscow, Russia , +7 499 166 61 19

Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve

Tsaritsyno estate is a perfectly reconstructed specimen of 18th century architecture set amid a lush green forested area. The only park in Moscow that boasts a light and music fountain, Tsaritsyno draws crowds with spectacular night water shows.

1 Dol’skaya Ulitsa, Moscow, Russia , +7 499 725 72 87

Severnoye Tushino Park

Despite a rather remote location, this park is definitely worth a visit. A half-a-century old apple garden, serene views on Khimkinskoye reservoir and a dry-docked submarine housing a Museum of Submarine Navy will definitely make up for the ride from the city centre.

Ulitsa Svobody, Moscow, Russia , +7 495 640 73 55

Kolomenskoye

Kolomenskoye Park is not merely a tranquil green space, but a celebrated museum reserve, where nature and historically significant architecture blend together. Here you can see one of Moscow’s oldest churches Church of the Ascension and a former residence of the Tsar Aleksey Mikhailovich Romanov, the father of Peter the Great. It’s also perfect for romantic walks along the Moskva river.

39 Andropova Ave, Moscow, Russia , +7 499 782 89 17

In this park you’re guaranteed to encounter some ducks, woodpeckers, squirrels, hares and urban wildlife. The park is also famous for its beautiful boardwalk, open-air cinema, ropes course Panda Park, gallery of retro cars and a variety of places to eat.

22/1 Ulitsa Bol’shaya Filevskaya, Moscow, Russia , +7 499 145 45 05

The former estate of the Sheremetev family, Kuskovo is a fascinating piece of 18th-century Russia. Home to 20 unique architectural monuments, it is Moscow’s only historical park with a French formal garden, decorated with green walkways, marble statue and state-of-the art pavilions.
