The Moscow City Guide database contains more than 2,500 locations. Each one has been verified using multiple sources. Here’s how it works.
Москва-Сити — живой квартал. Каждую неделю здесь что-то меняется: открывается новый ресторан, закрывается бар, агентство переезжает на другой этаж, меняются телефоны и режим работы. Неактуальная информация — это не просто погрешность, это реальная проблема для человека, который едет в конкретное место.
Именно поэтому мы выстроили многоуровневую систему проверки: от первичного добавления объекта до плановой актуализации базы.
The first and most important source. If the establishment has a website or social media page, we get the information from there. An official channel won’t lie about its address and phone number.
We check with the largest mapping service—it aggregates data from a variety of sources and includes up-to-date reviews. It’s especially useful for verifying whether a location actually exists and its actual address.
2GIS is one of the most accurate directories of commercial real estate and organizations in Russia. We use it as an additional way to verify addresses and phone numbers.
When adding a new venue, we call or email them directly—especially when the information varies across sources or the venue is new. A live conversation with the venue manager is the best way to verify the information.
For editorial content on the real estate market, new projects, and infrastructure changes in the City, we draw on articles from leading business publications. These articles undergo our own editorial review and serve as a reliable source of facts.
For information about the towers, developers, and major changes at the Moscow International Business Center (MIDC), please contact the press offices of the management companies directly. This is the only reliable source for information on construction, new developments, and floor plans.
To verify real estate data—cadastral numbers, owners, and square footage—we refer to Rosreestr’s open data. This is especially important for property listings.
The editor visits some of the locations—primarily restaurants, bars, and observation decks—in person. This is the only way to ensure that the descriptions are accurate and the photos are up to date.
Readers of the portal and our partners regularly report changes—such as closures, relocations, and changes in phone numbers. Each report is verified against other sources before any changes are made.
A single source is not sufficient verification. We follow the principle of cross-verification, and information about a subject must be confirmed by at least two independent sources before it is published.
If different sources provide conflicting information (for example, one address on the website and another on Yandex Maps), we call the business directly. Direct contact takes priority over aggregator sites.
If an item raises questions and cannot be quickly verified, it remains in the queue until the situation is clarified. We do not publish information whose accuracy we are not certain of.
If the error concerns your company, restaurant, office, or any other location listed on the portal, we have an expedited processing procedure.
Active locations in the database undergo a routine inspection at least once a year. We inspect high-traffic areas (restaurants, establishments) more frequently.
Our editorial team monitors news about City, reviews on mapping services, and media coverage. If a location has closed, we remove it from active search results within one business day.
Partners with a personal account can update their information themselves in real time. This is one of the incentives for paid listings—you control the accuracy of your information yourself.
Readers can report errors or outdated information at welcome@moscow-city.guide. The editorial staff reviews each report and, once verified, makes the necessary changes to the website.
We try to be as accurate as possible, but we'll be honest:
«Если вы нашли неточность — сообщите нам. Это не критика, это помощь. Каждое такое сообщение делает базу точнее для всех.» — Редакция Moscow City Guide
