Travel Itinerary For One Week in Moscow: The Best of Moscow!

I just got back from one week in Moscow. And, as you might have already guessed, it was a mind-boggling experience. It was not my first trip to the Russian capital. But I hardly ever got enough time to explore this sprawling city. Visiting places for business rarely leaves enough time for sightseeing. I think that if you’ve got one week in Russia, you can also consider splitting your time between its largest cities (i.e. Saint Petersburg ) to get the most out of your trip. Seven days will let you see the majority of the main sights and go beyond just scratching the surface. In this post, I’m going to share with you my idea of the perfect travel itinerary for one week in Moscow.

Moscow is perhaps both the business and cultural hub of Russia. There is a lot more to see here than just the Kremlin and Saint Basil’s Cathedral. Centuries-old churches with onion-shaped domes dotted around the city are in stark contrast with newly completed impressive skyscrapers of Moscow City dominating the skyline. I spent a lot of time thinking about my Moscow itinerary before I left. And this city lived up to all of my expectations.

Travel Itinerary For One Week in Moscow

Day 1 – red square and the kremlin.

Metro Station: Okhotny Ryad on Red Line.

No trip to Moscow would be complete without seeing its main attraction. The Red Square is just a stone’s throw away from several metro stations. It is home to some of the most impressive architectural masterpieces in the city. The first thing you’ll probably notice after entering it and passing vendors selling weird fur hats is the fairytale-like looking Saint Basil’s Cathedral. It was built to commemorate one of the major victories of Ivan the Terrible. I once spent 20 minutes gazing at it, trying to find the perfect angle to snap it. It was easier said than done because of the hordes of locals and tourists.

As you continue strolling around Red Square, there’s no way you can miss Gum. It was widely known as the main department store during the Soviet Era. Now this large (yet historic) shopping mall is filled with expensive boutiques, pricey eateries, etc. During my trip to Moscow, I was on a tight budget. So I only took a retro-style stroll in Gum to get a rare glimpse of a place where Soviet leaders used to grocery shop and buy their stuff. In case you want some modern shopping experience, head to the Okhotny Ryad Shopping Center with stores like New Yorker, Zara, and Adidas.

To continue this Moscow itinerary, next you may want to go inside the Kremlin walls. This is the center of Russian political power and the president’s official residence. If you’re planning to pay Kremlin a visit do your best to visit Ivan the Great Bell Tower as well. Go there as early as possible to avoid crowds and get an incredible bird’s-eye view. There are a couple of museums that are available during designated visiting hours. Make sure to book your ticket online and avoid lines.

Day 2 – Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the Tretyakov Gallery, and the Arbat Street

Metro Station: Kropotkinskaya on Red Line

As soon as you start creating a Moscow itinerary for your second day, you’ll discover that there are plenty of metro stations that are much closer to certain sites. Depending on your route, take a closer look at the metro map to pick the closest.

The white marble walls of Christ the Saviour Cathedral are awe-inspiring. As you approach this tallest Orthodox Christian church, you may notice the bronze sculptures, magnificent arches, and cupolas that were created to commemorate Russia’s victory against Napoleon.

How to Get a Decent Haircut in a Foreign Country

Unfortunately, the current Cathedral is a replica, since original was blown to bits in 1931 by the Soviet government. The new cathedral basically follows the original design, but they have added some new elements such as marble high reliefs.

Home to some precious collection of artworks, in Tretyakov Gallery you can find more than 150,000 of works spanning centuries of artistic endeavor. Originally a privately owned gallery, it now has become one of the largest museums in Russia. The Gallery is often considered essential to visit. But I have encountered a lot of locals who have never been there.

Famous for its souvenirs, musicians, and theaters, Arbat street is among the few in Moscow that were turned into pedestrian zones. Arbat street is usually very busy with tourists and locals alike. My local friend once called it the oldest street in Moscow dating back to 1493. It is a kilometer long walking street filled with fancy gift shops, small cozy restaurants, lots of cute cafes, and street artists. It is closed to any vehicular traffic, so you can easily stroll it with kids.

Day 3 – Moscow River Boat Ride, Poklonnaya Hill Victory Park, the Moscow City

Metro Station: Kievskaya and Park Pobedy on Dark Blue Line / Vystavochnaya on Light Blue Line

Voyaging along the Moscow River is definitely one of the best ways to catch a glimpse of the city and see the attractions from a bit different perspective. Depending on your Moscow itinerary, travel budget and the time of the year, there are various types of boats available. In the summer there is no shortage of boats, and you’ll be spoiled for choice.

Travel Itinerary for One Week in Beijing

If you find yourself in Moscow during the winter months, I’d recommend going with Radisson boat cruise. These are often more expensive (yet comfy). They offer refreshments like tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and, of course, alcoholic drinks. Prices may vary but mostly depend on your food and drink selection. Find their main pier near the opulent Ukraine hotel . The hotel is one of the “Seven Sisters”, so if you’re into the charm of Stalinist architecture don’t miss a chance to stay there.

The area near Poklonnaya Hill has the closest relation to the country’s recent past. The memorial complex was completed in the mid-1990s to commemorate the Victory and WW2 casualties. Also known as the Great Patriotic War Museum, activities here include indoor attractions while the grounds around host an open-air museum with old tanks and other vehicles used on the battlefield.

How I Planned My Trip to Vietnam

The hallmark of the memorial complex and the first thing you see as you exit metro is the statue of Nike mounted to its column. This is a very impressive Obelisk with a statue of Saint George slaying the dragon at its base.

Maybe not as impressive as Shanghai’s Oriental Pearl Tower , the skyscrapers of the Moscow City (otherwise known as Moscow International Business Center) are so drastically different from dull Soviet architecture. With 239 meters and 60 floors, the Empire Tower is the seventh highest building in the business district.

The observation deck occupies 56 floor from where you have some panoramic views of the city. I loved the view in the direction of Moscow State University and Luzhniki stadium as well to the other side with residential quarters. The entrance fee is pricey, but if you’re want to get a bird’s eye view, the skyscraper is one of the best places for doing just that.

Day 4 – VDNKh, Worker and Collective Farm Woman Monument, The Ostankino TV Tower

Metro Station: VDNKh on Orange Line

VDNKh is one of my favorite attractions in Moscow. The weird abbreviation actually stands for Russian vystavka dostizheniy narodnogo khozyaystva (Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy). With more than 200 buildings and 30 pavilions on the grounds, VDNKh serves as an open-air museum. You can easily spend a full day here since the park occupies a very large area.

Places to Visit in Barcelona That Aren’t Beaches

First, there are pavilions that used to showcase different cultures the USSR was made of. Additionally, there is a number of shopping pavilions, as well as Moskvarium (an Oceanarium) that features a variety of marine species. VDNKh is a popular venue for events and fairs. There is always something going on, so I’d recommend checking their website if you want to see some particular exhibition.

A stone’s throw away from VDNKh there is a very distinctive 25-meters high monument. Originally built in 1937 for the world fair in Paris, the hulking figures of men and women holding a hammer and a sickle represent the Soviet idea of united workers and farmers. It doesn’t take much time to see the monument, but visiting it gives some idea of the Soviet Union’s grandiose aspirations.

I have a thing for tall buildings. So to continue my travel itinerary for one week in Moscow I decided to climb the fourth highest TV tower in the world. This iconic 540m tower is a fixture of the skyline. You can see it virtually from everywhere in Moscow, and this is where you can get the best panoramic views (yep, even better than Empire skyscraper).

Parts of the floor are made of tempered glass, so it can be quite scary to exit the elevator. But trust me, as you start observing buildings and cars below, you won’t want to leave. There is only a limited number of tickets per day, so you may want to book online. Insider tip: the first tour is cheaper, you can save up to $10 if go there early.

Day 5 – A Tour To Moscow Manor Houses

Metro Station: Kolomenskoye, Tsaritsyno on Dark Green Line / Kuskovo on Purple Line

I love visiting the manor houses and palaces in Moscow. These opulent buildings were generally built to house Russian aristocratic families and monarchs. Houses tend to be rather grand affairs with impressive architecture. And, depending on the whims of the owners, some form of a landscaped garden.

During the early part of the 20th century though, many of Russia’s aristocratic families (including the family of the last emperor) ended up being killed or moving abroad . Their manor houses were nationalized. Some time later (after the fall of the USSR) these were open to the public. It means that today a great many of Moscow’s finest manor houses and palaces are open for touring.

20 Travel Tips I’ve Learned From Travelling The World

There are 20 manor houses scattered throughout the city and more than 25 in the area around. But not all of them easily accessible and exploring them often takes a lot of time. I’d recommend focusing on three most popular estates in Moscow that are some 30-minute metro ride away from Kremlin.

Sandwiched between the Moscow River and the Andropov Avenue, Kolomenskoye is a UNESCO site that became a public park in the 1920’s. Once a former royal estate, now it is one of the most tranquil parks in the city with gorgeous views. The Ascension Church, The White Column, and the grounds are a truly grand place to visit.

You could easily spend a full day here, exploring a traditional Russian village (that is, in fact, a market), picnicking by the river, enjoying the Eastern Orthodox church architecture, hiking the grounds as well as and wandering the park and gardens with wildflower meadows, apple orchards, and birch and maple groves. The estate museum showcases Russian nature at its finest year-round.

12 Stunning National Parks and Regional Parks In France

If my travel itinerary for one week in Moscow was a family tree, Tsaritsyno Park would probably be the crazy uncle that no-one talks about. It’s a large park in the south of the city of mind-boggling proportions, unbelievable in so many ways, and yet most travelers have never heard of it.

The palace was supposed to be a summer home for Empress Catherine the Great. But since the construction didn’t meet with her approval the palace was abandoned. Since the early 1990’s the palace, the pond, and the grounds have been undergoing renovations. The entire complex is now looking brighter and more elaborately decorated than at possibly any other time during its history. Like most parks in Moscow, you can visit Tsaritsyno free of charge, but there is a small fee if you want to visit the palace.

How To Stop Procrastinating When Trip Planning

Last, but by no means least on my Moscow itinerary is Kuskovo Park . This is definitely an off-the-beaten-path place. While it is not easily accessible, you will be rewarded with a lack of crowds. This 18th-century summer country house of the Sheremetev family was one of the first summer country estates of the Russian nobility. And when you visit you’ll quickly realize why locals love this park.

Like many other estates, Kuskovo has just been renovated. So there are lovely French formal garden, a grotto, and the Dutch house to explore. Make sure to plan your itinerary well because the estate is some way from a metro station.

Day 6 – Explore the Golden Ring

Creating the Moscow itinerary may keep you busy for days with the seemingly endless amount of things to do. Visiting the so-called Golden Ring is like stepping back in time. Golden Ring is a “theme route” devised by promotion-minded journalist and writer Yuri Bychkov.

Having started in Moscow the route will take you through a number of historical cities. It now includes Suzdal, Vladimir, Kostroma, Yaroslavl and Sergiev Posad. All these awe-inspiring towns have their own smaller kremlins and feature dramatic churches with onion-shaped domes, tranquil residential areas, and other architectural landmarks.

Two Weeks In Thailand: The Perfect 14-Day Itinerary

I only visited two out of eight cities included on the route. It is a no-brainer that Sergiev Posad is the nearest and the easiest city to see on a day trip from Moscow. That being said, you can explore its main attractions in just one day. Located some 70 km north-east of the Russian capital, this tiny and overlooked town is home to Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, UNESCO Site.

Sergiev Posad is often described as being at the heart of Russian spiritual life. So it is uncommon to see the crowds of Russian pilgrims showing a deep reverence for their religion. If you’re traveling independently and using public transport, you can reach Sergiev Posad by bus (departs from VDNKh) or by suburban commuter train from Yaroslavskaya Railway Station (Bahnhof). It takes about one and a half hours to reach the town.

Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius is a great place to get a glimpse of filling and warming Russian lunch, specifically at the “ Gostevaya Izba ” restaurant. Try the duck breast, hearty potato and vegetables, and the awesome Napoleon cake.

Day 7 – Gorky Park, Izmailovo Kremlin, Patriarch’s Ponds

Metro Station: Park Kultury or Oktyabrskaya on Circle Line / Partizanskaya on Dark Blue Line / Pushkinskaya on Dark Green Line

Gorky Park is in the heart of Moscow. It offers many different types of outdoor activities, such as dancing, cycling, skateboarding, walking, jogging, and anything else you can do in a park. Named after Maxim Gorky, this sprawling and lovely park is where locals go on a picnic, relax and enjoy free yoga classes. It’s a popular place to bike around, and there is a Muzeon Art Park not far from here. A dynamic location with a younger vibe. There is also a pier, so you can take a cruise along the river too.

How to Save Money While Traveling in Europe

The Kremlin in Izmailovo is by no means like the one you can find near the Red Square. Originally built for decorative purposes, it now features the Vernissage flea market and a number of frequent fairs, exhibitions, and conferences. Every weekend, there’s a giant flea market in Izmailovo, where dozens of stalls sell Soviet propaganda crap, Russian nesting dolls, vinyl records, jewelry and just about any object you can imagine. Go early in the morning if you want to beat the crowds.

All the Bulgakov’s fans should pay a visit to Patriarch’s Ponds (yup, that is plural). With a lovely small city park and the only one (!) pond in the middle, the location is where the opening scene of Bulgakov’s novel Master and Margarita was set. The novel is centered around a visit by Devil to the atheistic Soviet Union is considered by many critics to be one of the best novels of the 20th century. I spent great two hours strolling the nearby streets and having lunch in the hipster cafe.

Conclusion and Recommendations

To conclude, Moscow is a safe city to visit. I have never had a problem with getting around and most locals are really friendly once they know you’re a foreigner. Moscow has undergone some serious reconstruction over the last few years. So you can expect some places to be completely different. I hope my one week Moscow itinerary was helpful! If you have less time, say 4 days or 5 days, I would cut out day 6 and day 7. You could save the Golden Ring for a separate trip entirely as there’s lots to see!

Gladys Parker

I know very little about Moscow or Russia for the\at matter. I do know I would have to see the Red Square and all of its exquisite architectural masterpieces. Also the CATHEDRAL OF CHRIST THE SAVIOUR. Thanks for shedding some light on visiting Moscow.

Thanks for swinging by! The Red Square is a great starting point, but there way too many places and things to discover aside from it!

Ruthy @ Percolate Kitchen

You are making me so jealous!! I’ve always wanted to see Russia.

Moscow is in my bucket list, I don’t know when I can visit there, your post is really useful. As a culture rich place we need to spend at least week.

The Secret to Scoring $1 Seats on Megabus

I love to travel. But I also love to do it by spending as little money as possible. Megabus is one of my absolute favorite ways to get out of town for super cheap. I’ve used the discount bus service a few times and it has been a really great experience, although their “free wifi” doesn’t always work.

Reader Anna Ruth dropped me a line with a question about how the Megabus $1 tickets work.

Here’s my response…

There Are 3 Keys to Scoring One Dollar Megabus Seats

Book in advance (way in advance).

There are only a few $1 seats on each Megabus route. Therefore, you’ll want to book your seat months in advance in order to score the lowest fare. Prices go up and up as you get closer to the departure date. Also, while $1 seats are awesome, the seats go up in price as more are sold. Scoring a $5 or $9 seat is pretty amazing too. If you see a low fare, jump on it. The average fare on Megabus is around $20 but I hope you avoid paying even that much with these tips. By the way, a 50 cent reservation fee applies to all bookings.

Be Flexible With Your Dates

Have a travel window and look for seats within that window. The ticket prices can vary greatly from one day to the next depending on what’s been sold so far. You won’t score the best deal if you already have specific travel dates picked out. The more flexibility you have on date and time of departure, the more likely you are to ride for cheap! Also, travelling mid-week will often save you more money on Megabus trips.

Go Ahead and Book!

If you stumble upon a $1 or $3 fare — buy it! Even if you are unsure if you are actually going to travel on those dates, what’s the worst that can happen? It is far wiser to book the ticket and not use it than to wait and have to pay ten times that as the date approaches.

Don’t forget to check the Megabus website for deals. They have lots of specials — especially for people willing to travel on weekdays! Good luck on scoring one dollar seats on Megabus!

Anyone else out there had a Megabus experience yet? What do you think of the low-cost bus service?

Penasaran, saya mengetes kebenaran klaim tersebut, terutama karena saya sendiri cukup sering menggunakan kartu Mega Travel Card untuk transaksi dalam mata uang asing.

Metodologi Perbandingan

Terdapat 10 sampel transaksi dari penggunaan Mega Travel Card. Mengingat saya belum bisa bepergian ke luar negeri, semua penggunaan kartu kredit adalah transaksi online dalam mata uang Dolar Amerika (USD).

Setelah itu, saya akan membandingkan kurs pemakaian kartu saya dengan 2 sumber, yaitu:

• Kurs tengah dari Bank Indonesia (BI) (rata-rata harga beli dan jual) dan
• Kurs dari Visa

Berikut perbandingan antara kurs tengah BI dengan kurs Mega Travel Card:

* Menggunakan kurs di hari kerja sebelumnya (kurs BI hanya tersedia untuk hari kerja)

Berikut perbandingan antara kurs Visa dengan kurs Mega Travel Card:

UPDATE: Kartu kredit Mega Travel Card sudah tidak dapat lagi dipakai untuk mengumpulkan GarudaMiles sejak 25 Maret 2022. Silakan baca di sini untuk informasi lebih lanjut.

Mega Travel Card merupakan kartu kredit terbaik di Indonesia untuk transaksi mata uang asing dengan pertimbangan selisih kurs yang hanya 0,5% dari rate Visa dan perolehan airline miles yang sangat baik untuk transaksi dalam mata uang asing.

Dibandingkan dengan kurs dari Visa, markup yang dikenakan Mega Travel Card sangat wajar. Selain kartu ini, hanya ada 2 kartu lain yang menawarkan jaminan kurs terbaik yaitu Maybank White Card dan Maybank Visa Infinite .

Masalahnya, kedua kartu kredit tersebut tidak memiliki earning rate yang istimewa apabila dibandingkan dengan earning rate dari Mega Travel Card.

Perolehan GarudaMiles yang sangat cepat untuk transaksi dalam mata uang asing (Rp2.404/mile) juga menempatkan kartu ini sebagai kartu terbaik di Indonesia untuk mengumpulkan GarudaMiles dari transaksi dalam mata uang asing.

Apabila Anda tidak keberatan dengan poin yang tidak fleksibel, maka saya menyarankan Anda untuk menggunakan kartu ini untuk semua transaksi mata uang asing .

Apakah Anda tertarik untuk menggunakan Mega Travel Card untuk transaksi mata uang asing?

Apakah pernah ada juga perbandingan untuk credit card premium, mana yang paling bagus untuk transaksi mata uang asing ?

Untuk saat ini memang masih belum ada, namun untuk referensi ada juga artikel serupa untuk CIMB Niaga JCB Ultimate (Rp5.000/KrisFlyer miles).

Padahal dalam buku panduan kartu dijelaskan bahwa nilai kurs terbaik adalah dalam perbandingan nilai dengan kartu kredit jenis lain selevel Signature, terimakasih

Ada reference agen cc mega bro?

Halo Samuel,

Untuk pendaftaran harusnya tidak perlu referensi agen karena saat ini kartunya hanya bisa didapatkan dengan dana yang di-lock. Mungkin Samuel bisa langsung ke cabang Bank Mega terdekat – informasi detailnya bisa dibaca di sini: Cara Mengajukan Kartu Kredit Bank Mega Saat Pandemi COVID-19

Hallo Pak Erick,

Saya bulan lalu dibantu mbak susy bank Mega mas, 5 hari beres kartu diterima itu juga kena sabtu minggu. Kalau mau hubungi nomornya ini 087770221944 nanti atur waktu ketemuan untuk berkas2 aja. Good luck

Mega nih nyebelinnya banyak biaya2 ga penting. Yang paling nyebelin tuh biaya E-Billing Statement, tiap kali terima email tagihan ada biaya nya. Suck!

Kalau untuk transaksi dalam RMB apakah sama atau ada yang lebih bagus, ko? Untuk keperluan belanja di Taobao.

Saya setuju utk rate transaksi mata uang asing Mega travel ini paling baik. Namun sekedar berbagi pengalaman yg pada akhirnya saya berkesimpulan kartu ini agak “ringkih” alias tampak mudah sekali dibobol pdhal sudah menggunakan pin utk transaksi EDC dan OTP utk transaksi online. Februari 2020 saya krcipetan di Athena, baru sadar kartu saya hilang setelah menerima sms notifikasi transaksi 2x sebesar €2000 dan €900, pertama yg bikin heran bisa excess limit kemudian merchant transaksi aneh…bukan merchant dgn EDC ataupun online, dimana keduanya bisa berhasil transaksi tanpa pin/OTP, okelah kartu fisik berpindah tangan namun seharusnya tdk akan bisa ditransaksikan tanpa pin atau OTP, namun kenyataannya saat itu tercetak billingnya sekalipun sy sdh membuat sanggahan transaksi. Kebayang ribetnya sy harus buat laporan dr polisi setenpat di Athena yg suratnya begitu tercetak hurufnya huruf yunani. Untuk menghindari bayar bunga saya terpaksa membayar tagihan kebobolan tsb sambil berharap bisa kembali uangnya. Alhamdulillah masih rejeki, seluruh uang bobol tsb kembali ke Mega travel saya setelah 6 bulan. Dan malam ini kembali saya mengalami kebobolan, ditransaksikan di hotel di paris sebesar €215. Fisik kartu tdk berpindah tangan, tdk ada OTP masuk, tiba2 notifikasi transaksi berhasil. Memang bbrp hari ini saya sdg membuat bookingan utk trip saya mei mendatang, salah satunya mmg hotel di Paris, namun transaksi ini jelas2 bukan hotel yg saya booking (berbeda nama hotelnya dan berbeda harganya, juga tdk ada notifikasi email misalnya hotel yg saya booking memang melakukan deposit charge utk bookingan saya) Jadi dgn pengalaman 2x begini saya agak2 watir utk lanjutin pake.

Terimakasih sharing-nya, yang penting adalah Anda tidak ditagihkan biaya yang muncul dari kartu yang hilang tsb. Mungkin jika boleh, saya akan angkat cerita Anda menjadi sebuah artikel jika berkenan.

Apakah travel mega card ini memiliki kurs yang lebih baik daripada cimb mastercard platinum ? Krn sejauh yang pernah saya pakai. Kartu cimb mastercard platinum adalah kartu dgn rate terbaik yang pernah saya pakai. Fyi, saya hampir memiliki semua cc bank di indonesia meskipun tidak semua kartu dari satu bank saya miliki sepenuhnya namun di setiap bank yang ada di indo saya pasti ada mininal 1
