Moscow

Taxi, bus, train? The first question you will face is how to get from the airport to central Moscow. In terms of price, comfort, and speed, the best option has to be the Aeroexpress train. It goes non-stop direct to the city center.

But there are least five other ways to do it (from Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, and Vnukovo), including car sharing and vehicle hire.

Moscow has every accommodation option there is, from hotels and hostels to Airbnb and CouchSurfing. The starting price for a hostel is 250 rubles ($3.70), while the average price for a decent 3-star hotel is 3,800 rubles or $57 per day. See our article on choosing accommodation in Moscow for every travel occasion. A good tip is don’t overlook the suburbs—the Moscow subway extends a long way, and even from far out the ride to the center will take no more than 30 minutes and cost 55 rubles ($0.80).

Dinner for two in a Moscow restaurant with a glass of wine will cost 2,500 rubles ($38) on average, but there are cheaper options. Teremok, Kroshka-Kartoshka, Mumu, or the more familiar McDonalds and KFC offer a bite to eat for 200-300 rubles ($3-4.50). Business lunches can also ease the strain on the wallet. They are offered on weekdays at many eateries. A business lunch costs about the same as one dish and a drink from the usual menu.

For those who prefer home cooking, the cost-cutting supermarkets are Pyaterochka, Auchan, and Dixie, while the medium segment belongs to Perekrestok, Magnolia, and VkusVill, and the (relatively) high-end to Azbuka Vkusa (Alphabet of Taste).

If you like a tipple, drinks in Moscow will be your biggest outlay. The average price of a cocktail in a Moscow bar is 400-600 rubles ($6-9).

The optimal budget for one night is 3,000-5,000 rubles ($45-75). This amount will cover a few cocktails, one meal, and several cab rides.

Let’s suppose this is your first trip to Moscow, and you haven’t seen anything yet. Be prepared to spend around 500 rubles ($7.50) per museum/gallery. That is the price of entry to Cathedral Square, for instance, which is located inside the Kremlin and surrounded by palaces and ancient churches. It’s the same for a ticket to the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts (unless you can pretend to be Russian).

Let off some steam at the famous Sanduny baths, lined with baroque-style columns; prices here start from 1,800 rubles ($27), but the city is full of cheaper options.

Cruise tours along the Moskva River also vary widely in price, but they start from 800 rubles ($12) per person. Our guide can help you land the best deal and avoid typical tourist mistakes.

This sum will cover a budget hostel, two trips by public transport, and food (two meals at inexpensive cafes).

How to get from Moscow to St. Petersburg

There are various options for this popular route, from plane to bus or even taxi. During the summer season, flights can hit 7,000 rubles ($106). But we strongly recommend Sapsan. This high-speed train will whizz you to St. Petersburg in 4 hours. Tickets can be bought online or at station ticket offices.

St. Petersburg

Almost everything here is a bit cheaper than in Moscow. Prices for decent 3-star hotels start at 2,700 rubles per day ($41).

Food is also cheaper: St. Petersburg has many inexpensive diners (serving home-style cuisine), some of which have no names and are simply numbered. Try the popular chain Stolovaya №1, where lunch will set you back 100–250 rubles ($1.50–3.70).

Street food snacks are available at numerous pastry and pancake houses such as Pirogovy Dvorik (Pie Yard) and Plyushkin House (from $2), while a cappuccino in St. Pete can be had for 87 rubles or $1.30.

For the alcohol-minded, St. Petersburg offers lots of budget options. The local beer is definitely worth a sip and costs an average of 62 rubles ($9) per bottle. Strong alcohol can be knocked back in bars and pubs (like the diners, they often have numbers instead of proper names). A shot of vodka costs 45 rubles ($0.60). You can order an exotic cocktail in a St. Petersburg bar for 300 rubles or $4.50.

The subway will take you there for 45 rubles or ¢60. Or go by taxi.

Natalia Seliverstova/Sputnik

St. Petersburg is heaven for culture buffs, its museums alone number around 300. If you have only 72 hours to spare, the minimum program will cost approximately 2,250 rubles ($34). This will be enough to visit the Hermitage and Peterhof (the “Russian Versailles”), climb up to the colonnade of St. Isaac’s Cathedral, and take a boat trip along the Neva River.

For trips to St. Petersburg, assume a minimum daily budget of 800 rubles ($12)—enough for a hostel, two subway rides, and two cafe lunches.

5. A city of contrasts

6. The name meaning

7. The green spots

8. Not for everyone

A. The population of London grew in the 17th century. Many houses were built during that period. It was needed after the Great Fire of 1666. In the 19th century the city suffered from pollution and epidemics. The German bombings during World War II destroyed the historical center of London. After the war the city was reconstructed and now it is one of the most beautiful European capitals.

B. Each year in December, the people of Norway send a present to Londoners. It is a very big Christmas Tree, which is put in Trafalgar Square. In this way they thank Britain for help during World War II. This tree becomes one of the unforgettable sights of London, especially when it is lit by hundreds of fairy lights. Londoners often group around the tree and sing Christmas songs.

C. Trafalgar Square is situated in central London. It is one of the greatest and most famous tourist attractions. Your visit to the capital usually begins with this place. It’s absolutely necessary for every tourist to see Nelson’s Column. Everyone should admire the lovely fountains of the square. Also, you can’t say that you’ve been to London if you don’t take a picture of yourself in the square.

D. London was founded by the Romans in the 1st century AD and called Londinium. There is a common theory that the word «Londinium» comes from the name of a Celtic village. Also, the adjective «lond» meant «wild» in the Celtic language. Perhaps, it characterized the river Thames, on which the city was started. So, most scientists think that London is a «village on the wild river».

E. In spite of being an important industrial and business centre London is known for its parks and open spaces. In every part of the city, you can find at least one park. It can be just a small pool with surrounding trees or a big and magnificent park like Hyde Park or Regent’s Park. They are all loved and visited by Londoners all the year round.

F. The liveliest part of London is West End. There are a lot of pubs, clubs, shops, theatres and cafes there. All kinds of pastimes are offered to tourists. Most of them choose shopping in Oxford Street with its stores, boutiques and gift shops. It’s a pleasant experience because the choices are great.

G. Big Ben is one of London’s best-known sights. The name «Big Ben» actually refers not to the clock-tower itself, but to the thirteen ton bell hanging within. The tower is not open to the general public. A tourist from abroad can’t visit it. The citizens of the UK are luckier. They can write a letter to a member of Parliament and ask to allow them to tour the clock tower. Usually, the permission is given.

This is an article that is written in subjective manner. It is my personal view of Moscow.
Beside my impressions, I will mention certain locations that I think are worth visiting and
I will touch on some common misconceptions I read online about Moscow before my trip there.
At the end of the article is a link to Google map that displays all the locations I mention
in this text. I hope you’ll find some valuable information for yourself in my Moscow story.

Moscow is the capital of Russian Federation and one of the largest cities in the world. Current official figures
for number of residents and real figures are very different. When you get to Moscow you will see and feel
that fact. Unofficially Moscow has almost 20 million people. Well at least that is what a taxi driver
told me. City not only has large population but covers vast territory. I visited several large cities
in Europe, but Moscow is different. If you have a park in London, then such
park in Moscow will be three times larger. If you have a monument in Berlin, it will be 10 times that
size in Moscow. Sometimes this can look a little odd. Nice example for this is a monument to
Peter the Great. While you will be exploring Moscow pay notice to this fact and when you, while
looking at the map, decide to take a walk from point A to point B — pay attention to the map’s scale.
Don’t repeat my mistake.

The best way to reach your destination in the city is by subway. Definitely the best subway system I
ever saw. It is really impressive. First of all, subway looks great and Muscovites are obviously taking
good care of it. Second, the trains just keep coming. During several days I was in Moscow I never waited
for a train more than 30 seconds. I was really surprised to see people running, trying to
catch a train. It seems such a meaningless waste of energy. Another ride is arriving in 20 or so seconds.
And finally it is cheap. You can buy single ticket or a card with ten tickets. A card with ten rides cost
me around 3€.

Taxi is also not very expensive, but in Moscow every car is a potential cab, so it understandable.
If you stand next to the road and raise your hand at hip level a car will stop within few seconds.
If the person is going where you are going, for a small fee, you got yourself a ride. But this type
of transport is not something I will recommend to someone who is distrustful to strangers or doesn’t
speak Russian very well. You must explain to the driver where you want to go and you must, of course,
negotiate the fee.

In Moscow nobody speaks English. Well maybe one or two people do, but I haven’t met them.
People there only speak Russian. If you plan to travel to Moscow be aware of that. First I thought
that not knowing the unofficial lingua franca is a sign of some oversight in educational program in
Russia, but soon I realized that it is not that. Foreign languages are actually not important for
Muscovites. Everywhere you go from Moscow for thousand of kilometers everyone speak Russian.
Actually, there are many people in Moscow who arrived from other countries, mostly from Asia,
who are struggling to learn Russian. So in Moscow, Russian is the language that different
people from different countries and cultures use to communicate with each other.
Moscow is truly a cosmopolitan city.

Contrary to many tourist reports from Moscow I read on the Internet before going there myself,
Muscovites are very friendly. I’m learning Russian language and when people see that you are a
tourist trying to speak their language they seem to like that. Just like probably everywhere in
the world. It, I guess, shows a certain level of respect for locals. But you shouldn’t expect a
special treatment from most of the people because you are a tourist. If you don’t think of yourself
as a prima donna, you should be OK. I roamed the streets of the city from the early morning until
very early morning the next day and during all my time in Moscow I tried to engage in as many
conversations as I can. I didn’t have a single bad experience.

I also traveled to Moscow suburbs, or at least I thought these areas were suburbs. I tried to see how
people live outside of tourist zones and it doesn’t look too bad. Again, from what I have read online
from some tourists I expected something terrible. I found many large residential buildings with bars,
shops and libraries on the ground floor and many newly constructed shopping centers. One of the places
you shouldn’t miss is Izmaylovo(Измайлово) market on the city’s north-east (location). There you can buy
all the Russian souvenirs you want. It is quite a long way from city center but it is located near
Izmaylovo hotel complex, so it’s a tourist friendly place. The subway stop is just next to the hotel complex, and from there
is just a short walk to the market. Beside Russian souvenirs, that market is a great place to buy
international music CDs or movie DVDs or music DVDs with MP3s or DVDs with six or seven DIVX movies,
stuff like that, for 2 or 3 Euros. In Russia there is a very liberal understanding of the term «copyright»
and it makes life for ordinary people so much easier and cheaper. Also while you are there you can visit
the castle that is next to the market which is newly constructed in old Russian style. There are several
museums there, like museum of vodka or fairytale museum but I didn’t have time to visit them. Nearby is
also a historic complex with cathedral and old Peter the Great army barracks.

Another place to buy souvenirs is Old Arbat. It’s a street in city center. In my guide book it is said
that Old Arbat is a great street flooded with tourists. I guess all the tourists are there because it
is written in their guide books that they should be there. When I was there they were reconstructing the
street so there was nothing to see. It’s just a street with restaurants, several stands where you can
buy trinkets and a McDonalds. Also the prices in restaurants and prices for the stuff you buy there
are a bit higher than in other places.

By the way, average meal in restaurant will cost you around 12-13€, but you can stumble upon a place
where you can get good food for even less money. When I was in Moscow I had the luck to have a great
tour guide who knew to point out a few good places to eat. I could find those places again, but I have
no idea how to explain to you where they are located. And one more thing, don’t forget to try borsch
while in Russia. I tried it the first day and immediately got addicted. Another vital source of nutrients,
beer, costs around 2.5€ for half a liter. Cigarettes, which are of course bad for your health are very cheap.
If you are one of those people that must buy a pack now and than, a pack of Marlboro should cost you around 1.5€.
Russian brands are also good and are much cheaper, half a Euro or something like that.

I don’t really know if there are any dangerous neighborhoods in Moscow but I never felt any problem.
Of course, that can mean that I was just lucky. You should always pay attention in a strange unknown
big city, but if you don’t wave your passport around and if you try not to look like a tourist, probably
no one will bother to ask you anything. I guess that kind of behavior allowed me not to talk to any
police officer in Moscow. The only police officers I met are in one of the pictures on this page and
we never talked.

But on the other hand, I know some people who did get into trouble with the police. Don’t try to cross
the street in Moscow center where you think it is convenient for you. Crossing the street in Moscow
center is something that requires planning. You will most of the time cross through underground passages
and that is good. Cars are driving at 100 km/h through the center of the city and if you decide to cross
the street at an unmarked spot, prepare to run. And watch out for the police. Those people I mentioned
made a little mistake and were taken to police station. After a little while and after a short, and
from what I have heard, a pleasant chat, they were released. No bribes were necessary so this fact
opposes another common story told online to future tourists to Moscow that police officers stop tourists
to harress them and ask for bribes.

OK… enough of my impressions of the city as a whole and people in Moscow. In short, Moscow is normal
big city with normal people living there. If you open your eyes and see what other people are doing you
will soon blend in. It might look a little strange that I showed my Izmaylovo photos before the main
attractions. Someone may think that I obviously messed something up here, but I believe that when you
visit a new city you should try to see how real people there live. The attractions, probably already
familiar come second. Let’s talk now about the areas for which Moscow is recognizable everywhere in the
world.

Well, the center in where Red Square (Красная площадь, Krasnaya ploschad) is. To reach Red Square you
will probably exit the subway on Manezhnaya ploschad. Next to Red Square is Kremlin on one side and
GUM on the other. I read in my city guide that GUM is a fancy shopping center with luxury stores so I
didn’t enter it. The other two sides of the square are closed with History museum from the north, and
Saint Basil’s Cathedral from the south. Lenin Mausoleum is located just under the walls of the Kremlin.
The thing that surprised me was to discover that Red Square is not really that big. This was also one of
my misconceptions.

But the Kremlin is a different story. It was much bigger than I imagined. To enter it, you need to buy
tickets. It takes some time, an hour or so. Some things in Russia just take time. That makes previously
mentioned running to catch a train even more absurd. After you buy tickets you will enter the Kremlin
and you will discover a really beautiful place well worth visiting and waiting for the tickets.
Beside many beautiful and special churches there are also several museums. I visited
Armory museum inside Kremlin.
I’m not a big fan of museums, but inside this museum you can really get the taste of the
Russian history. While at Kremlin take time to visit some of the beautiful old churches located there.
Also you can see the Tsar Cannon, the largest howitzer ever made, and Tsar bell, the largest bell ever made.
Tsar Bell is broken. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to photo a broken side of the bell because the place was
packed with tourists. On this page you can
see many of the sites in Kremlin and the broken side of the Tsar Bell.

I would like to mention just one more thing about Kremlin. Pay attention to security guards there.
Kremlin is the seat of the Russian government and Russian president so you can’t just wander around.
Some areas are off limits for the tourists.

In the central area of Moscow there are a few sights I would like to mention. One is the Cathedral of Christ the Savior
on the bank of river Moskva. It was built in 19th century and then destroyed with dynamite on Stalin’s order.
After the fall of communism, the church was rebuilt. While you are near the Cathedral, look across the river
and you will see the monument to Peter the Great.

After a day in the center, the next day I decided to go west. I went to visit the World War II memorial
center. It is a large complex with World War II museum and nearby Weapons museum located on Kutuzovskiy
avenue. Number of weapons in Weapons museum is impressive. There are more airplanes in the museum, than
in many world’s countries air forces. You can see a lot of weapons from World War II but also some
modern aircrafts. When you return to Kutuzevskiy avenue you will have a nice view of Triumphal arch
constructed in 19th century to celebrate the victory of Russian troops over Napoleon.

While returning to city center I decided to walk. Not a very good decision. I marched for an hour on
an avenue with almost nothing interesting to see. I only managed to catch a glimpse of new World
Trade Center under construction. My long walk ended on Kiyevskiy vokzal with a view on one of the
Seven sisters. Seven sisters are seven skyscrapers built by Stalin when he came to the conclusion
that there are not enough skyscrapers in Moscow. This one now houses the Ministry of foreign affairs.
Just behind that building is Old Arbat, the street I already mentioned before.

Third day of my visit I went south. First I went to visit Novodyevichy monastery. This monastery founded
in early 16th century is an UNESCO World heritage site. It is a nice place to visit. Next to the
monastery is a Novodyevichy cemetery where many important people from the Russian history a buried.
After visiting this second World heritage site (Kremlin is one also), it would be a shame no to visit
the third one located in Moscow.

I went to Kolomenskoye. It takes a short walk to the south to get there from Kolomenskaya subway station.
When you get there you will find a beautiful park with many historic buildings. One of those buildings is
the Ascension church from early 16th century. Also, this is great place to grab a beer and relax for a
while. To bad that when I was there the weather was not so great, but it provided me with a cool photo
of the Ascension church.

My next stop that day was Tsaritsino — former royal estate of Catherine the Great built in 18th century.
It is much further to the south but only three metro stations away. So in 10 minutes you’re there.
Now, this area is what I think is a real Moscow suburb. When you leave the metro at Tsaritsino station,
you will be next to the market. You will have to pass under the railroad and suddenly the scenery changes.
You will find a really posh park. When I was there, there were also several wedding parties with bride and
groom being photographed in this fairytale ambient. Well worth the visit. Not only to see the royal
estate and park but also to catch a glimpse of Moscow suburbs.

For my last day a decided to give north and east a chance. I was already in Izmaylovo market which is
also to the east, so I decided to move around the east part of the city center. I took a walk through Kitay gorod
to the Chistiye prudi. This part of the city is very nice with small cozy streets and nice parks.
During my lunch at one of nice restaurants in the area I read in my guidebook about VDNKh and decided
to visit it. After a short walk to the metro station I passed by the former KGB headquarters in Lubyanka street.

VDNKh is up north. It was built as an exhibition center to celebrate achievements of communist Soviet state.
It consists of many pavilions, each dedicated to one of the former Soviet republics. There are many
statues of golden workers and peasants as well as many other monuments to great successes of communism.
Today, ironically, it is converted to a large shopping center where you can buy almost anything.
This was also another great place to greatly upgrade my music collection for couple of Euros before
leaving Moscow.

My trip to Moscow ends. That evening I left Moscow by train to visit St.Petersburg (report will be online soon).

Moscow made a great impression on me. Everything in this city is monumental. It is a huge city
where all the streets, city squares and parks, streets and many monuments gave a strong feeling
of history, dignity and power. Moscow moved very far away from the communism but is not ashamed
of that period of their history, unlike some of the former communist countries in Europe. The
mistakes of former system and leaders are recognized and corrected, like in the example of the
Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. Today Moscow is an enormous construction site. New buildings or
even city blocks are being constructed and old historic monuments and city areas are being rebuilt.
No other city I visited was anything like Moscow, and I can certainly recommend to anyone a visit
to this magnificent city that never sleeps.

People I saw on the streets of Moscow were different from what I have read online. I expected a
depressive crowd of people in bad mood hostile to strangers. The reality for me was the complete
opposite. Not everyone in Moscow has a great life or lot of money, but there is a general sense of
optimism and many people decorate their faces with a smile. Maybe even a little bit under the
influence of of the Moscow Metro posters.

Almost every tourist who visited Moscow is familiar with the Kremlin, but only few of them know that there is another one located out of the mainstream tourist path. Generally, «Kremlin» is a Russian word meaning a fortification built to protect a city. But it’s not the case with the Izmailovsky Kremlin. It doesn’t perform the function of any fortification and perhaps isn’t very historically accurate. It was built as a cultural and entertainment complex in 2007 with an imitation of the Russian architecture of the 18th century. Here one can find Tsar`s Palace, built with the same style as ‎the summer palace of Tsar Alexey Mikhailovich in Kolomenskoye; the Church of St. Nicholas, the highest wooden church in Russia (46 m / 151 ft in height); museums, cafes, souvenir shops etc.The Izmailovsky Kremlin houses several museums, including Museum of Russian vodka, Museum of Russian Folk Arts, Museum of bread.There are two remarkable markets next to the Izmailovsky Kremlin: a flea market and the Izmailovsky Vernisazh. The Vernisazh offers variety of souvenirs and handcrafts from different Russian regions in traditional styles such as Khokloma, Gzhel, Palekh, while in the flea market you can purchase antiques, furniture, old books, etc.
