Make Your Own! Total Time: 25 Minutes 1. Preheat oven to 450°F. 2. Remove chicken thighs from pouch and place flat side (skin side) up on a lined sheet pan. Reserve the extra marinade from the pouch. 3. Heat chicken thighs for 12 to 15 minutes or until thighs have caramelized and are heated through. - Pro tip: set your oven to broil for the last 2 minutes to get the thighs extra golden, but watch them closely! 4. Shred carrots, separate lettuce leaves and prepare rice, if desired. 5. Slice the chicken and fill lettuce leaves with desired toppings. *Carrots out of stock

Make Your Own! Total Time: 10 Minutes 1. Add 1-2 tbsp of cooking oil to a sauté pan. Sauté peppers and onions on high heat for two to three minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. 2. Remove the chicken from the pouch, discard liquid and slice into thin strips. - Pro tip: heating the chicken ahead of time will cut down the cook time and get you oozing, melty cheese in a hurry. Follow package heating instructions, for best results. 4. Assemble the quesadillas: Place shredded cheese on one tortilla, followed by sliced chicken, sautéed mixture, more cheese and top with a second tortilla. 5. Cook quesadilla in an oiled sauté pan on medium heat until both sides are golden brown, crunchy and the filling is heated through. 6. Slice and serve with your favorite salsa and sour cream. *Peppers not in stock

Here are ideas to build meals from Kwik Trip, from sushi to sloppy joes to chicken

Kwik Trip is a Wisconsin institution.

Founded in 1965 in Eau Claire, it's headquartered in La Crosse, and, from wedding photos  to recurring references by Wisconsin comedian Charlie Berens , it has secured its place in Wisconsinites’ hearts.

I am on board with Kwik Trip love. I stop there often for morning coffee — and am psyched to be enjoying its annual pumpkin spice brew yet again.

When my daughters were younger, it was regular after-school excursion; they would choose a drink and a snack, and we would relax in the café area as they told me about their day. And this past Mother’s Day, when my sister and I told my mom we wanted to take her out for breakfast, she instead requested that we just stop at Kwik Trip for coffee to bring back to her front porch while we sipped and chatted.

Although I’ve always loved Kwik Trip for its coffee and snacks, I don’t typically use it as a grocery store. But since the school year started and my schedule has gotten busier, I’ve become very aware that Kwik Trip is closer to my house than my regular grocery store. I’ve also become aware of the variety of options to prep a quick dinner.

After a little research, I discovered a reason I’ve noticing more meal selection choices. While doughnuts, hot food, salads, sandwiches and produce have been in the stores since the early 2000s, Kwik Trip’s fresh fried chicken and take-home meals didn’t arrive until 2019 and 2020.

Recently, I took a few trips to Kwik Trip, picked up several foods to taste-test with my family and put together ideas for meals I can make purely out of Kwik Trip food. 

Kwik Trip meal for a busy weeknight

Roasted chicken: Roasted or rotisserie whole chickens are my go-to for a busy weeknight. I usually buy them at Pick ’n Save, but since Kwik Trip is closer to my house, I was glad to see I could get one there. My daughter Wendy and I loved the chicken, which was flavorful and juicy even after reheating it.

Dinner rolls: My husband often picks these up on his own snack runs to Kwik Trip. They’re soft and pair well with butter; we didn’t even need to heat them up.

Prepared Caesar salad: A lower container holds Romaine lettuce, with chicken and Parmesan cheese in separate containers on top.  This setup keeps the ingredients from becoming soggy. I figured it would be a typical gas station salad, but the lettuce was surprisingly fresh, and the chicken flavorful. I recommend combining two of these for a family.

Yogurt parfait: The yogurt parfait had vanilla yogurt and strawberries mixed together, with granola in a separate container to mix in afterward. I picked this up on my second Kwik Trip visit, which Wendy accompanied me on. She said she misses the parfaits we used to get at McDonald’s and wanted to see how this compared. It was less sugary than the McDonald’s version but still had enough sweetness to work for a healthy-ish dessert.

Additional options

Fried chicken:  Kwik Trip has both hot and cold versions of much of its prepared food. The cold option worked out well when I picked up fried chicken one morning after dropping my kids off at school. I didn’t want to heat it up for fear of drying it out, so we ate it cold, picnic-style. It was juicy and well-seasoned. 

Sushi: This was a wild card as I’ve never had gas station sushi, and, admittedly, that sounds a little scary. But this isn’t just any gas station; it’s Kwik Trip! I went very basic with the California roll. It’s packaged like grocery store deli counter sushi, with rolls in one container and packets of wasabi, ginger and soy sauce on top, and a handy compartment to place them in. The rolls are smaller than standard deli counter sushi (and smaller than typical restaurant sushi), but they tasted great.

Kwik Trip meal for a moderately relaxed weeknight or a weekend

When I have enough time to cook instead of just reheat, this is what my family likes in a Kwik Trip meal. 

Sloppy joes and buns: I usually make sloppy joes from scratch, so I didn’t know it was possible to buy sloppy joe meat already seasoned and ready. Kwik Trip sells cooked meat with sloppy joe sauce that just has to be heated.

Baked potatoes with sour cream

Salad made from lettuce, mushrooms, tomatoes and other vegetables.

And here are some other meals for those moderately relaxed times: 

Bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin: This was a shocker when I saw it. Yes, I had seen the ground beef, the chicken breasts, the brats, even the steak at Kwik Trip. But the bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin seemed so fancy, and it was only $1.99. When I asked Wendy if I was reading the price correctly, she helpfully answered with a shrug. I followed the directions to heat it up in a pan, and we all agreed that it was delicious. Although Wendy pointed out it’s hard to go wrong with double pork, I was still impressed. The portion is small, but with a reasonable number of sides, it could be a good main dish for two people and provide a good taste of something delicious for three or four people. And, if you’re just cooking for yourself, it’s a great option.

Fresh meat like brats, steak, hamburger patties and chicken breasts

Pizza: Kwik Trip has frozen pizzas, hot pizza slices and take-and-bake pizzas. I reviewed the take-and-bake pizza a few years ago during a taste-testing pizza party. My friends and family didn’t love the pizza, which they thought had too much sauce, but if sauce is your thing, it’s worth a try. 

Tacos: This is the same deal as sloppy joe meat for me; when we have tacos, I typically cook the meat and mix in my own spices. But Kwik Trip’s seasoned-and-ready taco meat is super convenient. Along with some lettuce, tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream and taco shells — all available at Kwik Trip — this is an easy meal to prep. 

Kwik Trip meal to replace fast food

I mentioned that my local Kwik Trip is closer to my house than the grocery store. It’s also closer than most fast-food restaurants. That makes Kwik Trip a great choice, and a nice change of pace, for our Friday nights, when we typically get fast food to eat at home while watching a movie. Here’s what my family would choose for that.

Chicken tenders: These tasted very similar to the fried chicken — Kwik Trip does a good job of seasoning chicken. These are sold both on their own or with waffle fries as a side.

Cheese curds: When I saw Kwik Trip had cheese curds and pointed them out to my daughter, she nodded her head. “Can we really say we’re from Wisconsin if we don’t try the cheese curds?” she asked. A very reasonable question. This is an embarrassing admission — Wisconsin girl that I am — but I’m not a huge fan of cheese curds. But — Wisconsin girl that I am — I did appreciate that they smelled like State Fair food.  My husband is our family cheese curd connoisseur, and he liked them. We all thought they were a bit too bready, but the flavor was good.

Frozen drinks: I think a fast food meal needs a special drink to go with it. Kwik Trip’s self-serve drink stations have always fascinated my daughters and me. Their favorites are the Arctic Slushes (Blue Moon Frost), and I gravitate toward the coffee specialties, including frappes and macchiatos. Kwik Trip also has machines for fruit smoothies and chocolate shakes.

Additional options for fast food-like meals include hamburgers or cheeseburgers; sandwiches, including fried chicken and waffle, barbecue pork rib and fish with cheese; chicken wings; hot dogs, pizza slices and burritos. 

Kwik Trip snack meal

When we have people over for a game night, or sometimes just for our own family dinner, we like to make a meal out of snacks. This is especially a good idea for us, since most of Kwik Trip’s prepared foods aren’t safe for my older daughter, who has food allergies. (Side note: Kwik Trip has a sign on its door to alert people to the possibility of cross-contamination by the major allergens in its prepared food.)

For those meals, my family would choose sausage, sliced fruit, veggie trays and a variety of crackers, cheese blocks or slices, pretzels, chips and dips, and salsa and guacamole. 

Kwik Trip meals for when you're sick

When family members are sick, I take advantage of how close Kwik Trip is to my house. It’s convenient because they carry Tylenol, Advil, cold and allergy medicine, Pepto Bismol, cough drops and throat lozenges. For the nourishment I have sought out soothing foods for sore throats, bland foods for upset stomachs and novel foods to get people with suppressed appetites excited to eat something. Here’s what I typically choose:

Soup: Kwik Trip carries fresh hot soup as well as refrigerated bags of soup to heat up on the stove. And canned soups are in the grocery section. I heated up a bag of refrigerated chicken and wild rice soup. Wendy loves rice, and she’s been enjoying chicken noodle soup from restaurants lately. However, she took one look in the pot and declared there were too many vegetables for her. And there were quite a few vegetables: carrots, celery and mushrooms, as well as chicken and wild rice. Lots of veggies is not a flaw to me; that’s how I love my soup. If I were to get this again, I would add salt and pepper. The flavors were good, but it tasted a bit bland.

Crackers such as Saltines, Ritz and Goldfish

Bland foods like Cheerios, bread and rice

Popsicles and candy to suck on for sore throats

Drinks: Kwik Trip has lots of drink options in the refrigerated section, with different juices, water and sodas (We always get Sprite and Gatorade when someone is sick.) The drink stations are convenient for soothing sore throats, with cold Slushes and fountain drinks, and hot tea and coffee.

Power Rankings: The 10 Best Foods You Can Get at Kwik Trip

• Share on Facebook
• Share on Twitter

“Kwik Trip has the best fried chicken in town.” I’ve heard that from several people in Rochester, and you know what - they might be right. The La Crosse-based convenience store chain has worked hard to elevate what people think of “gas station food” and they’ve done a great job.

Full disclosure: Kwik Trip did not pay for this article. I'm just a fan. Not like a super fan that travels to all of their locations or starts a Facebook fan page , but I frequent the convenience store a lot so I think I'm qualified to speak on the quality of their food. KT has several delicious items. Below you’ll see my power rankings - The Top-10 Foods You Can Get at KT. Think my list wrong? Am I missing something? Open our App to chat with me.

The chicken is hot and fresh and it's super convenient for those nights that you're too busy to cook. Plus they have delicious sides like mashed potatoes and gravy.

I love the Karuba Gold Hazelnut latte. KT actually has a bunch of different flavors of coffee and they're always fresh and full of flavor. Their Ice Coffee is really good too.

The glazers are great - they sold 32-million of them last year -  but my favorite is the blueberry dunker.

Sausage Egg Croissant

Their breakfast sandwiches are tasty and they have hash browns too.

Nature's Touch Ice Cream is the best! It's all made with local milk at their facility in La Crosse and they have a ton of flavors to choose from.

I'm starting to kick myself because I think their pizza needs to be higher on the list. I cook mine on my pellet grill and it always comes out amazing.

The BBQ Rib Sandwich

Burgers, chicken sandwiches, bbq sandwiches they've got a bunch of hot sandwich options and they're all pretty tasty. The sandwich below is the one I prefer.

Take-Home Meals

These come in at number 8 because I can't offer an honest opinion on all of them. I have only tried one, the meatloaf, and it was really good.

Kwik Trip has saved me the hassle of running to the grocery store on numerous occasions. Avocados, onions, potatoes, bananas, etc. - they have a ton of fresh produce.

Broccoli Cheese Soup

Now, that it is warming up I probably won't have KT soup for a while but it certainly hits the spot on a cold day. The broccoli cheese is fantastic!

So what do you think? A co-worker is arguing that KT's potato wedges should have made the top ten. Open our app to chat and let me know what your favorite food from Kwik Trip is.

The level of service in Moscow restaurants is getting so irreproachable that specialists believe some venues of the capital to be highly competitive with the best European examples.      Among the guests of Moscow Russian traditional restaurants are the most popular ones. A visit to such a venue could be turned into excursus to Russian history, since many restaurants are located in the very heart of Moscow, in old mansions, with which interesting stories and legend are closely connected.

Moscow Itinerary: How To Spend 3 Days In Moscow

By: Author Lotte

Posted on Last updated: March 2, 2023

Categories Trans Mongolian Express

Moscow is the capital of Russia and there are few cities in the world that have played such a significant part in history.

Home to the Kremlin, the Red Square, the colorful St. Basil's Cathedral, and many more famous landmarks, Moscow is a city like no other.

This Moscow itinerary will help you plan your trip and make the most of your time in Moscow. From the best places to see in Moscow to how to get around, this post has got you covered.

Moscow itinerary

Moscow 3 day itinerary: map with highlights

Click here for the interactive map .

What to do in Moscow in 3 days

• Day 1: The Red Square, GUM Department Store, St. Basil's Cathedral, Lenin's Mausoleum, and the State Historical Museum.
• Day 2: The Kremlin, the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, Gorky Park, and the Bolshoi Theatre.
• Day 3: Izmailovsky Market, Bunker 42, and Zaryadye Park.

Important things to know when planning a trip to Moscow

The best time to plan a trip to Moscow is April-May and September-October . During these months temperatures are (generally) quite comfortable, though even in April there can be a bit of snow! The summer months are hot, both in regard to temperature as well as activities in the city. While it's a nice time to visit, it's also the busiest time of the year to visit Moscow. Hotel prices reflect this as well and summer definitely isn't a great time for budget travelers to visit Moscow. Winter in Moscow is cold, and I mean seriously cold (-15°C isn't rare). However, if you can withstand the subzero temperatures and freezing winds, it can be a magical time to visit. A snow-covered St. Basil’s Cathedral is a sight you will never forget. Keep in mind that days are short in winter and be sure to bring plenty of warm winter clothes!

The official currency in Russia is the Russian Ruble (₽ or RUB). Here you can find the current exchange rates, at the time of writing €1 is approximately 70RUB and $1 is around 62RUB.

Yes, you probably do. Getting a visa for Russia requires a bit of time and effort. You need to fill out several forms and provide a detailed travel itinerary and information about your accommodation. Also, you will need a Visa Support Letter which can be provided by your travel agency or your hotel. Depending on your nationality, there may be additional requirements, please refer to the information provided on the website of your country's Embassy in Russia.

While most of the things to see in Moscow listed in this post are within walking distance of each other, sometimes you will have to travel a bit further afield. The best way to get around in Moscow is by metro. It's cheap and efficient and a sightseeing activity in itself, because Moscow has the most beautiful metro stations in the world ! Among the most exquisitely decorated stations are Komsomolskaya, Novoslobodskaya, Mayakovskaya, Taganskaya, and Prospect Mira Station, but there are many more worthwhile stations to be found in the Moscow underground. You can purchase a single ticket from one of the ticket machines or get a rechargeable Troika Card when you plan on taking the metro several times. Read more details on how to use the Moscow metro here . If you prefer to get around by taxi, that's possible too. We used the Gett app to order a taxi (similar to Uber) to avoid confusion about our intended destination and having to negotiate in Russian. A convenient extra for families is the Gett Kids option, these cars are outfitted with a car seat.

The best things to do in Moscow

While you could easily spend a week in Moscow (or more), most of us, unfortunately, don't have that much time available.

This 3-day Moscow itinerary will guide you to the most popular and important places to visit in Moscow, as well as to some of the more unusual things to do in Moscow.

Below you can find the list of the Moscow sightseeing highlights included in this post.

The Red Square

Gum department store, st. basil's cathedral, lenin's mausoleum, the state historical museum, the kremlin, cathedral of christ the saviour.

• The Bolshoi Theatre

Izmailovsky Market

Zaryadye park.

Moscow itinerary day 1

There is no better place to start your first day in Moscow, than at the world-famous Red Square.

This square is considered the central square of Moscow, not just because all the major streets start here, but also because no matter where you look when standing on this square, there are historic buildings all around.

Starting with the impressive GUM store and going clockwise, there is the colorful Saint Basil's Cathedral, the Kremlin, Lenin's Mausoleum, the State Historical Museum, and the Kazan Cathedral.

However, before entering any of these Moscow must-see attractions, allow yourself a moment to take in the view and let it sink in that you're standing on historical grounds (and a UNESCO site).

The Red Square was the official address of the Soviet government and played an important part in history. Many military parades have been held (and are still being held) here. It's the place where protests have taken place, as well as high-profile concerts from famous international artists.

All in all, it's one of the places in Moscow you can't miss during your Moscow city trip!

Yulia from That's What She Had: it might seem like visiting a department store is not something you’d do on the first visit to Russia’s capital.

But GUM is not like any other department store and is well worth your time, if only for its unique architecture.

First of all, it’s located right on Red Square which makes it an easy stop on your Moscow trip itinerary. Second, GUM is not a simple mall, but an institution built in the late XIX century.

The abbreviation stands for  Glavniy Universalniy Magazin or Main Universal Store. Its impressive facade extends for over 240 meters along the eastern side of Red Square.

Inside you’ll find a beautiful glass ceiling supported by a metal framework, not unlike the ones found in the old train stations of Great Britain. 

While shopping in GUM will cost you an arm and a leg, there’s one reason why tourists and locals come here anyways:  traditional Russian food  at Stolovaya #57. Stolovaya is Russian for canteen and this is where you can get your  pelmeni , borsch , and  pirozhki  fix!

Afterward, don’t forget to get the famous  plombir  ice cream in one of the kiosks on the ground floor.

Saint Basil's Cathedral with its colorful domes is easily recognizable and one of the most popular Moscow tourist attractions. The building, built on orders from Ivan the Terrible, was completed in 1561 to commemorate the victory over Kazan and Astrakhan.

Until the construction of Ivan the Great Bell Tower (which can be found within the walls of the Kremlin), it was the tallest building in Moscow.

The design of St. Basil's Cathedral is truly unique; it's shaped like the flame of a bonfire and not one building in a similar style can be found in the whole of Russia.

A legend tells the story of how Ivan the Terrible had the architects of the Cathedral blinded so they could never build anything comparable.

This is a myth, however, but the fact remains that Saint Basil's Cathedral is one of a kind and it's not surprising it has become the symbol of Russia.

Wendy from The Nomadic Vegan: Lenin Mausoleum is hard to miss. It's a stepped-pyramid construction that sits right at the base of the Kremlin walls on the western side of Red Square.

Entrance is free but note that opening hours are quite limited, with visiting hours lasting only from 10 am to 1 pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

If seeing Lenin's embalmed body is important to you, be sure to take this into account when planning your itinerary in Moscow.

One of my  top tips for travelers to Russia  is to arrive early, well before the mausoleum opens, as the queue is usually quite long. However, usually, the queue does move pretty quickly.

This is especially true now that they have lifted the ban on bags and cameras.

It used to be that all cameras, smartphones, and bags of any size had to be checked at a left-luggage office nearby. But now you can bring a small handbag or backpack as well as your camera and phone.

Photography inside the mausoleum is still strictly forbidden, but you are allowed to take photos of the graves of various other important Russian figures that line the path leading to the mausoleum.

Once you finally enter the mausoleum, the atmosphere is surprisingly peaceful and uncrowded. It doesn't feel nearly as rushed as when visiting Mao Ze Dong's tomb in Beijing or Ho Chi Minh's body in Hanoi , for example.

The illumination of the body is very well done and would make for superb photography if it wasn't forbidden. As an added bonus, just after you exit, you'll see the grave of Joseph Stalin outside.

Rai from A Rai Of Light: the imposing crimson building at the northern end of the Red Square is the State Historical Museum.

By decree of Alexander III, the museum was built with the support of Russian historians, philosophers, and artists. The red brick building, dating from 1875, was designed in the Russian revival style by Vladimir Shervud.

The National Museum of Russia houses a collection of over four million items, devoted to the history of the country's ancient and imperial period.

The exhibitions include many items previously owned by members of the Romanov dynasty, such as documents, artwork, personal items, furnishings, and decorations from the palace interiors.

Another exhibit features relics of the prehistoric tribes that once inhabited this region.

Notable items include ancient manuscripts, birch-bark scrolls, a longboat excavated from the banks of the Volga River, and the largest coin collection in Russia, sourced from the museums in St Petersburg .

The State Historical Museum is open daily from 10 am to 6 pm. The entrance fee is 700₽ per adult.

Moscow itinerary day 2

When listing the best Moscow things to do, one cannot miss the Kremlin! The Kremlin houses the current seat of power in Russia and has done so for several decades.

Within its walls, the offices of the Russian Government can be found. During Soviet rule, the Kremlin was where all the important decisions were made but its history goes back for many centuries.

The first mention of the Kremlin in history books was in 1147, however, the current citadel dates from the 16th century.

The Kremlin is one of the major fortifications found in Europe, with walls that are up to 6.5 meters thick and 19 meters high in particular sections.

Inside the complex, there are many government buildings, however, these aren't accessible to the public.

Around Cathedral Square you'll find (as the name suggests) many churches and cathedrals, such as the Cathedral of the Archangel, Annunciation Cathedral, the Church of Laying Our Lady's Holy Robe, and Ivan the Great Bell-Tower.

While Cathedral Square is definitely worth visiting, the highlight of the Kremlin is a visit to the Armoury.

Inside you can find an impressive collection of Faberge eggs, beautiful dresses worn by Catherine the Great, intricately decorated thrones used by the Tsars, and much more. Unfortunately, photography is forbidden inside the Armoury.

Practical information about visiting the Kremlin

In order to visit both Cathedral Square and the Armoury, you will have to buy two separate tickets. A ticket to Cathedral Square costs 700₽ and a ticket to the Armoury is 1000₽. Prices mentioned are for adults, children below 16 years old are free.

Tickets can be bought at the ticket office onsite on the same day, however, there's no guarantee tickets will be available, especially during peak season.

Conveniently, tickets can be bought online as well, which is highly advisable if you want to make sure you'll be able to visit the Kremlin during your city trip to Moscow.

How much time to spend at the Kremlin

Be sure to allow plenty of time to explore the Kremlin, at least half a day but it's easy to spend more time as there is so much to see.

Please note there isn't any food sold inside the Kremlin, so bring a snack and enough water (especially in summer when it can get pretty hot).

Luggage storage

Backpacks aren't allowed inside the Kremlin, they can be stored (for free) in the cloakroom, but you can bring your camera and a small purse.

We could also take our Babyzen Yoyo stroller inside, which was very convenient as our 10-month-old son could take a nap while we explored the sights.

After the original Cathedral of Christ the Saviour was demolished by Stalin in 1931, a new version was completed in 2000.

The imposing building is the tallest Orthodox Christian church in the world (103 meters high), and is beautiful on the outside as well as on the inside.

Visiting the Cathedral is free of charge and it's open any day of the week from 10 am to 5 pm (except on Mondays when the opening hours are 1 to 5 pm).

When visiting the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour it's important to dress appropriately. For men, this means no shorts or tank tops.

Women can't enter with mini skirts or shorts, strap tops, or anything too revealing. Also, women are advised to cover their heads with a scarf as a sign of respect.

Inside the Cathedral photography isn't allowed, but believe me when I say there is plenty to see. There are beautiful frescoes, colorful icons, impressive statues, and other vivid decorations.

For a beautiful view over Moscow, walk up the stairs to the 40-meter high observation deck (entrance fee 400₽).  

Visit Gorky Park

Helen from Holidays from Hels : Gorky Park, named after the Soviet writer Maxim Gorky, has recently undergone extensive regeneration to become Moscow's central leisure hub for young Muscovites.

Every day of the week you can find many Moscow residents strolling along the banks of the river in the summer, hiring bikes, picnicking on the grass, or dining at one of the many restaurants.

Open-air cinemas, petanque, and ping pong are all on offer. Not to be missed is the iconic white stone entranceway and museum, complete with columns carved with Soviet hammers and sickles.

In winter, look out for the ducks waddling across the frozen Moskva River, and watch boats attempting to navigate through the cracked ice. However, the real winter highlight is to try ice skating on one of the biggest rinks in Europe!

Ice skating in Gorky Park

The park’s maze of pedestrian pathways is transformed into one huge skating rink, which can play host to up to four thousand skaters. 

Not surprisingly, Russians are talented ice skaters and there is a good chance you will find yourself next to a pirouetting ballerina.

Handily, you will find you will already be wearing most of what you need – gloves, hat, scarf, and thick socks and you can hire skates on-site. Lockers are included in the price if you don’t fancy skating with your day pack.

Disco tunes fill the air, and the whole arena is backlit in spectacular neon lights. Rest your weary legs and warm up at one of the cafes dotted along the frozen pathways, with the added bonus of not having to take off your skates.

Opening times

The rink is open from 10 am until 11 pm on weekdays and until midnight at weekends but closes between 3 and 5 pm. Like most attractions in Moscow, the rink is closed on Mondays. 

The prices range from 350-650₽ and go up in the evening, which is the best time for the light show. Arriving at 5 pm, just as the rink opens for the evening session will give you time to find your ice legs before it fills up with more confident skaters.

Whilst waiting for the rink to open, try out the nearby tubing track where you can shoot down a snowy hill on an inflatable ring repeatedly for a very enjoyable half an hour!

How to get to Gorky Park by metro

The nearest metro is Park Kultury Station, on the other side of the river. As always, check out in advance what this looks like in the Russian Alphabet so you know when to get off!

Bolshoi Theatre

James Ian at Travel Collecting : one of the best places to go in Moscow is the famous Bolshoi Theater, located only a short walk from Red square. Bolshoy means big in Russian, and the theatre is not only big but also beautiful.

There are two ways to see the theater: on a guided tour or by watching a performance .

Take a guided tour

• English tours are held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 11:30 am. Tickets for these tours can be bought (on the same day) at the ticket office located in the Historic building of the theatre (door #12).
• A ticket costs 2000₽ per person, tours last one hour, and the number of people on a tour is limited to a maximum of 20. The tour takes you inside the theater and to the historic main stage.

Watch a performance

My favorite way to see the theater, though, is to enjoy a performance and experience the theater as a patron.

The entrance is a little underwhelming when you first arrive, the street lobby is small and quite plain and you will be immediately directed up to your floor.

There are helpful attendants on each floor to guide you to the correct door. Arrive a little early and head up to the Grand Salon on the top floor where you can enjoy a glass of champagne while people-watching (Russians dress up for the theater).

Then head to your seat and take in the stunning theater before enjoying the famous Bolshoi Ballet or another performance.

Be sure to book a show at the historic stage, there is a modern stage as well but that isn't nearly as much fun.

Moscow itinerary day 3

Karen from WanderlustingK : one of the most interesting Moscow places to visit is the Izmailovsky Market .

This flea market and tourist attraction a bit outside of the tourist center is a recreation of a Tzar’s Palace, known as a Kremlin, produced in a colorful 16th-century style.

The market is filled with tiny stalls that sell everything from snacks to kitsch to authentic items from Soviet times such as hats, pins, and other pieces of memorabilia.

You'll also find authentic antiques such as vases, paintings, and other religious items if you're looking to splurge within the interior parts of the market.

Negotiating in English is not always possible as many vendors only speak Russian, so be sure to practice your Russian numbers and see how well you can do with haggling.

It's important to carry cash when you visit given that many vendors do not accept cards. We ended up purchasing a series of hats at the market, along with a beautiful hot tea glass with a metal holder with a typical Russian scene.

Elsewhere in the market, you’ll also find a few tourist shops that sell typical Russian products. It takes a few hours to see the market in full, so arrive early as the best items go quickly! 

Lindsey from Have Clothes, Will Travel : Bunker-42 was once a top-secret, Soviet military complex. Stalin commissioned its construction after the United States succeeded in creating a nuclear bomb.

An impressive 65 meters (or about 213 feet) underground, was the desired depth to protect Russia’s top officials from a nuclear attack.

Bunker 42 became operational in 1954. Fortunately, it was never needed for its true purpose, and instead it was used as the command center of strategic bombers for nearly 30 years.

Nowadays it's a museum dedicated to the Cold War and visiting is a truly unique experience!

You will need to join a tour in order to see the museum. You can call ahead to book your tour (the number is: +7 499 703-44-55), there are several English tours throughout the day that are held at 13:30, 16:30, and 18:30 (the price is 2200₽).

On Mondays, there is an extra tour at 17:30, which lasts an additional 30 minutes and costs 2800₽ per person. There is also the option to book a private tour. However, I am unsure of the price for this.

You will have to wait until exactly 15 minutes before your tour begins before you'll be admitted inside. After paying for your tickets and a quick restroom stop you will descend 65 meters underground…

Another option for visiting Bunker-42, if you would rather not do the tour, is to visit the restaurant inside Bunker-42. Actually, I highly recommend visiting the restaurant before or after a tour as well!

While the food is not that great, it’s worth visiting for a drink. The restaurant is also located within the bunker and is decorated in the old Soviet style.

From time to time there will be live performances and visiting Bunker 42 is definitely an experience worth having while in Moscow! After all, how many people can say they've had a drink in a top-secret Soviet military bunker?

If you’re visiting Moscow during peak season (June-July-August), it would be worth making a reservation, to avoid having to wait. Otherwise, I would not say you need to worry about a reservation at the restaurant.

Bunker-42 is a short cab ride away from Red Square (10-15 minutes). But I recommend taking the metro to get there. The closest station is Taganskaya, which is a beautiful metro station very much worth visiting.

Park Zaryad'ye or Zaryadye Park is a lovely place for a stroll and a nice place to relax after a day of sightseeing in Moscow, especially when exploring Moscow with kids.

There are many things to see and do in this park, but I recommend starting your visit at The River Overlook , a 70-meter-long boardwalk with beautiful views over the river and the Kremlin.

Other interesting places to visit in Zaryadye Park are the Ice Cave, The Museum of Nature, and The Glass Crust. But most importantly, do as the Muscovites do and find yourself a nice place in the park to sit down and relax.

Enjoy the view, do some people-watching, and take a moment to think back about all the Moscow top sights you've seen in the past couple of days.

Where to stay in Moscow

Modern hotel in Moscow: Barin Residence Myasnitskaya

The Barin Residence Myasnitskaya is a newly built hotel, located about 1.2km from the Red Square (about a 15-20 minute walk).

The rooms and bathrooms are very modern and clean, the beds are comfortable and room service is available. This hotel is an excellent choice for travelers looking for a nice hotel without a hefty price tag.

Luxury hotel in Moscow: Hotel National Moscow

Hotel National is potentially the best Moscow hotel. It's a gorgeous 5-star hotel located just a stone's throw away from the Bolshoi Theater, the Red Square, and the Kremlin.

The building was designed by architect Alexander Ivanov and completed in 1903 and has been welcoming international travelers ever since.

With its imperial architecture, luxury design, and charming classic rooms (some with a view of the Kremlin!), the Hotel National is a unique property.

Furthermore, you can enjoy an indoor pool, sauna, and fitness center as well as the well-reviewed Beluga restaurant that serves both Russian and European dishes.
