The river Moskva has two river termini: river station North and river station South. Here are two photos from river station North showing what a grandiose place it is (was). From here it is possible to book short river trips (1-2 hours), short cruises (1-2 days) and to see international cruise ships stop here to disembark passengers on guided tours of Moscow. I've travelled with Viking River cruises before, although not in Russia, and would recommend them. Here is a link to their web site and several well-produced videos about Russia.
A short walk from the river station terminus is the bus station and shopping centre. Here I saw a man busking and playing a most unusual set of bagpipes - they were powered by using a foot pump. Can anyone tell me more about them? I have included a short video clip to let you hear the sound they produce.
