SW-Motech Launches PRO Travelbag For Your Biggest Adventures Yet

When you need your literbike to carry 65 liters of camping equipment..

Are you planning a motorcycle trip any time soon? If that sounds like you, and you’re planning to bring a bunch of stuff, and you’re in the market for a new tail bag, then SW-Motech has a new bag you may want to know about. Let’s take a look.

The German gear specialist introduced its new PRO Travelbag tail bag in July, 2021. It’s pretty massive, with a bunch of space to carry a whole lot of your necessities on your next trip. Just how massive is it? The total volume is a whopping 65 liters. In fact, SW-Motech says it’s the largest bag currently offered in its Premium series.

Best of all, it’s made to universally fit a wide range of bikes. It comes with SW-Motech's patented lashing hooks, and has a grippy bottom to help it stay in place on any passenger seat you like. Just set it on the seat, follow the included instructions, and lash it down securely so it stays where you put it on your next ride.

It’s made of 1680 D ballistic nylon, and has all the added features you look for in a good piece of luggage. Reflective elements help you get seen by other road users, the lashing hooks are strong and robust so your bag stays in place and is quick to attach, and additional MOLLE attachments make it easy to strap some other bags onto your bag for even more storage.

Three mesh compartments reside inside the lid, to help keep your items neatly organized inside. There’s also an included shoulder strap, for ease of carrying off the bike. Two exterior pockets have covered zippers, to help shield them from the elements. Unlike some other luggage, the SW-Motech PRO Travelbag comes with a waterproof inner bag, so you don’t have to purchase it separately if you want to keep your stuff from getting soaked.

The MSRP on SW-Motech's website is 280 Euros, or about $331. That price includes VAT, and shipping is free on this item. If you reside outside a VAT country, the pricing will probably vary by region. It’s currently available to ship immediately as of July 27, 2021, or you can inquire with any shop near you that stocks SW-Motech goods.

SW-Motech Pro Travelbag im Praxistest : 65-Liter-Motorrad-Hecktasche von SW-Motech im Test

Mit der Travelbag ist die SW-Motech Pro Hecktaschen-Serie komplett. Wer sein Motorrad für mehr als nur ein verlängertes Wochenende sattelt, könnte damit richtig fahren.

65 Liter Volumen Gepäck fasst die Motorradhecktasche Pro Travelbag – oder eine darin sitzende Redakteurin. Egal, wie man sich das bildlich ausmalen mag – die Travelbag taugt für eine mehrwöchige Motorradreise genauso gut, wie für einen Wochenendtrip. Denn sie bietet nicht nur ausuferndes Ladevolumen, sondern taugt durch ihre Formfestigkeit selbst, wenn sie nicht voll beladen ist. Wer Taschen aus flexiblem Kunststoff oder Planen gewohnt ist, weiß, dass die nicht immer zuverlässig an ihrem Platz bleiben, wenn sie halbleer sind. Sondern gerne mal verrutschen, weil sich beispielsweise die Kleidung darin neu sortiert und formt. Die Unterseite der PRO ist zudem noch rutschfest und sorgt zusätzlich für festen Halt auf dem Soziussitz.

Die SW-Motech Pro Hecktasche bei LOUIS bestellen *.

Die SW-Motech Pro Travelbag besteht aus 1680 D Ballistic Nylon – schon der Name klingt robust. Befestigt am Motorrad wird sie mithilfe der von SW-Motech patentierten Zurrhaken an vier Punkten – einfach einhängen und festziehen. Vor dem Kauf aber am Motorrad checken, ob es überhaupt Verzurrmöglichkeiten bietet, denn das ist je nach Motorradkategorie nicht selbstverständlich. Und nach dem Einhaken gilt es noch, die überschüssige Gurtlänge aufzuräumen – entweder indem sie aufgerollt oder gefaltet wird, danach wird per Klettverschluss gesichert. Hört sich etwas fummelig an, ist es auch, aber das sauber aufgeräumte Ergebnis überzeugt.

Hauptfach, 2 Seitenfächer, 3 Netzfächer

Die PRO Travelbag-Hecktasche kommt mit einem großen Hauptfach und zwei flacheren Seitenfächern. Drei integrierte Netzfächer mit Reißverschluss ermöglichen die sinnvolle Aufteilung des Gepäcks – zwei dieser Fächer befinden sich auf der Innenseite des äußersten Deckels, ein weiteres befindet sich im darunter liegenden Deckel direkt über dem Hauptfach.

SW-Motech PRO Travelbag universelle Hecktasche

Wassereintritt ist kein Thema

Die wasserabweisende Innenbeschichtung, ein überlappender Deckel und wasserdichte Reißverschlüsse an der Seite sollen weitgehend verhindern, dass Wasser eintritt. Zusätzlich bietet die mitgelieferte wasserdichte Innentasche Witterungsschutz. Dank der breiten Öffnung der Innentasche ist das Gepäck dann trotzdem noch einwandfrei zugänglich. Wer seine Hecktasche über Nacht am Mopped lassen möchte, könnte auch einfach nur die wasserdichte Sacktasche entnehmen, in Form bleibt das gefaltete und gestapelte Transportgut dann aber nicht unbedingt.

Für bessere Sichtbarkeit sorgen reflektierende Aufsätze. An der Ober- und Vorderseite hält die Hecktasche außerdem noch Aufsätze bereit, an denen Zusatztaschen befestigt werden können. Und ein Schultergurt funktioniert sie ruckzuck um zur Reisetasche. Aber auch ohne Gurt lässt sie sich dank zwei stabiler Tragekurte an der Oberseite und einen seitlichen gut hochhieven. Die stabilen Verschlüsse lassen sich außerdem gut mit Motorradhandschuhen bedienen.

SW-Motech PRO Travelbag für 280 Euro

Die PRO Travelbag ist von SW-Motech mit ihrer universellen Passform und konisch geformten Unterseite über 400 Motorrad-Modellen zugewiesen und ab sofort im Webshop des Zubehörspezialisten für 280 Euro verfügbar, was in Sachen Qualität und Funktion absolut in Ordnung geht.

Die eine für alles – anders kann mans nicht sagen. Sie passt auf fast jedes Motorrad, das Verzurrmöglichkeiten bietet. Und wer bisher eine kleine Hecktasche für Wochenendausflüge und zusätzlich noch größere Gepäckstücke für den Jahresurlaub stapelte, könnte nun auf ein Gepäckstück reduzieren – weil die SW-Motech PRO Travelbag formstabil ist, sieht sie nämlich nicht nur schick aus, sondern sitzt auf dem Soziusplatz auch dann bombenfest, wenn sie nur zum Teil beladen ist.

Mich kann so ziemlich alles begeistern, was auf Rädern rollt – völlig egal, ob Motorrad, Elektroroller, Campingbus oder Fahrrad. Auf den Einsatzzweck kommt es an. Zirkel ich durch die Stadt? Fräse ich durch den Schwarzwald? Oder geht's für drei Wochen nach Sardinien? Wichtig für mich: Funktionieren muss es und Spaß machen. Und da liegt mein Fokus ganz klar auf den Motorrädern. Im Urlaub geht's deshalb oft auf zwei Rädern für mehrere Tage mit Gepäck und der ganzen Familie auf Tour, Ausflüge ins Gelände oder auf die Rennstrecke waren auch schon drin.

Mit 1,57 Meter Körpergröße bin ich bauartbedingt in der Redaktion die Fachfrau, was Motorradmodelle und Herausforderungen für kleine Motorradfahrerinnen und -fahrer angeht. Aber da hört mein Interesse noch lange nicht auf. Statistiken mögen andere langweilen – ich kann mich komplett darin verlieren. Welche Modelle sind in Deutschland und Europa am beliebtesten? Wie sieht der Durchschnittsfahrer/die Durchschnittsfahrerin aus? Wie entwickelt sich der Markt über die Jahre? Derlei Fragen finde ich genauso spannend, wie verkehrspolitische Themen und die Tests von neuen Produkten aus den Bereichen Bekleidung und Zubehör.

PRO Travelbag Tail Bag 1680D Ballistic Nylon Black/Anthracite

Tax included Shipping calculated at checkout

Description

Pro travelbag tail bag.

With a volume of 65 liters, the PRO Travelbag is the largest tail bag in the entire Premium series. Thanks to the conical underside, the bag can be ideally positioned on the passenger seat and easily and quickly clamped in place using the patented lashing hooks. The PRO Travelbag has a large main compartment and two spacious side pockets with waterproof zippers. The top features an overlapping lid that provides protection against moisture, and the sturdy fasteners are easy to operate even with riding gloves. There are two separate mesh compartments on the inside of the lid, and a further mesh compartment can be found in the lid to the main compartment below it. All three mesh compartments are perfect for storing smaller valuables and travel documents. Thanks to its shoulder strap, the PRO Travelbag can be converted into a travel bag in no time at all. The tail bag from the PRO series is made of indestructible 1680 D Ballistic Nylon, which was originally designed for military use. It also boasts high-quality workmanship and well thought-out features: reflective attachments ensure better visibility, robust lashing hooks secure the bags quickly and easily at the tail, and MOLLE attachments on the top and front allow accessory bags to be attached. The patented lashing hooks allow flexible attachment of the PRO tail bags. The straps are hooked and tensioned in one step. To remove the bag, the strap is released in one easy step and removed from the lashing eyelet by pulling on the drawstring. The excess strap length can be secured to the strap with a Velcro® fastener. This allows the bag to be used on different motorcycles, and the strap length can be adjusted accordingly.

Ausprobiert: der PRO Travelbag von SW-Motech

Für die diesjährige „Foto-Tour de France“ mit Lichtmaler Uli ( www.moppetfoto.de ) und Bloggerin Julia ( www.maedchenmotorrad.de ) hat uns SW-Motech wieder jeweils eine – diesmal raumgreifende – Gepäck-Lösung zur Verfügung gestellt: die PRO Travelbag Hecktasche. Ich war damit über 2.000 km in Italien, der Schweiz und Frankreich unterwegs.

Der PRO Travelbag von SW-Motech ist eine richtig große Motorrad-Hecktasche – 65 Liter Stauraum sind ein Wort. Die rutschfeste Unterseite ist konisch geformt und passt so auch auf den schmalen Soziussitz meiner Zero SR/F . Mit den Schlaufgurten, die ich schon vom PRO Enduro Riemen-Tankrucksack bzw. der kleineren PRO Rearbag-Hecktasche kenne (Erfahrungsbericht folgt), ist der PRO Travelbag ruckzuck an Beifahrer-Fußrasten und -haltegriffen befestigt.

Durchdachte Robustheit

Der PRO Travelbag fasst sich robust an – er ist aus widerstandsfähigem 1680 D Ballistic Nylon gefertigt. Die Verarbeitung ist hochwertig und durchdacht – nirgends stören lose Fäden, die Laschen der Reißverschlüsse sind groß genug, um sie auch mit Motorradhandschuhen greifen zu können, sie lassen sich natürlich ohne zu haken bedienen und werden nicht von den Zurrgurten verdeckt. Die Innentasche kann mit Klett fixiert werden. Die Zurrhaken an den Gurten und die Ösen an der Tasche halten unbestritten einiges aus, lassen sich im Falle eines Bruches aber leicht tauschen – Ersatz gibt es im Online-Shop. Klasse! Rundum angebrachte MOLLE-Aufsätze würden die Mitnahme von zusätzlichen Taschen erlauben, soviel Gepäck kam für diese Reise allerdings nicht zusammen.

Ausprobiert: der PRO Travelbag von SW-Motech auf meiner ZERO SR/F

Das Gesamtvolumen des PRO Travelbag verteilt sich auf ein großes Hauptfach, mehrere Netzfächer und zwei Seitentaschen mit wasserdichten Reißverschlüssen. Zum Travelbag gehören eine wasserdichte Innentasche, ein stabiler Schultergurt, vier Schlaufengurte und eine Lackschutzfolie. Das Hauptfach wird von oben beladen und geschlossen. Ein weiterer Deckel überlappt das Hauptfach und schützt vor Schmutz und Nässe. Beide Verschluss-Deckel tragen auf ihrer Innenseite per Reißverschluss verschließbare Netzfächer – diese habe ich für die GoreTex-Inlays meiner Rukka-Kombi genutzt und konnte immer sofort darauf zurückgreifen.

Sie hat das Fassungsvermögen ..

Neben den bereits erwähnten Inlays brachte ich Wäsche für eine Woche, meine Foto- und Technik-Ausrüstung, ein 13-Zoll-Notebook sowie den prall gefüllten Kulturbeutel unter. Außerdem ließ sich das 5 m lange und daumendicke Typ 2-Ladekabel ohne Probleme in das Hauptfach wickeln. In den Seitentaschen deponierte ich je eine wasserdichte Abdeckhaube – für trockene Elektro-Nächte im Falle von Regenschauern. Das ging ins Gewicht – doch auch daran hat SW-Motech gedacht und mehrere stabile Griffe an die Tasche genäht.

Die Schlaufgurte mit den patentierten Zurrhaken erlauben das sichere Fixieren der Hecktasche im Handumdrehen. Auch hier floss sehr viel Gehirnschmalz in das Produkt – durch die geniale Klett-Lösung gehören im Fahrtwind flatternde Gurt-Enden der Vergangenheit an.

Überraschung dann beim ersten Probesitzen: durch die Breite der Hecktasche sehe ich in den nach unten gedrehten Rückspiegeln meiner Zero SR/F nur noch die Tasche selbst. Das kann dem PRO Travelbag natürlich nicht angekreidet werden. Ich bin also mit vielen Schulterblicken gefahren ..

Von der heftigen Beschleunigung meiner Zero SR/F ließ sich der PRO Travelbag nicht beeindrucken. Allerdings bemerkte ich auf dem ruppigen Albula-Pass, dass die Hecktasche beim harten Bremsen in mein Kreuz rutschte. Das Heck meiner Zero SR/F ist zu kurz, um die Tasche sicher nach hinten verzurren zu können, dazu erlaubt der instabile Nachrüst-Kennzeichenträger die Verwendung der mitgelieferten Zurrösen nicht. Auf Motorrädern mit längeren Hecks und ordentlichen Kennzeichenträgern wird der PRO Travelbag sicher bombenfest sitzen.

Noch ganz dicht?

Die Hecktasche musste nach nur wenigen Kilometern einen Test in Sachen Wasserdichtheit über sich ergehen lassen: sintflutartige Regenfälle auf dem Oberalp- und dem Sustenpass weichten mich bis auf die Knochen auf. Am Ziel in der Zentralschweiz konnte ich erfreulicherweise trockene Wäsche und unversehrte Elektronik aus der Innentasche des Travelbag ziehen. Der leichte Wassereinbruch an einer Ecke sei verziehen, er wird schließlich nicht als „wasserdicht“ angeboten.

Auf dieser einwöchigen Tour von Südtirol in die Zentralschweiz und über die Pässe der Hautes Alpes fiel der PRO Travelbag vor allem durch Unauffälligkeit auf. Trotz des großen Stauraums bekam ich beim Auf- und Absitzen keine Probleme mit dem schwingenden Bein. Die einfache Befestigung ist eine Wohltat – bei jedem Festziehen der Spanngurte freute ich mich über die erstklassige Funktion und das unnachgiebige Zubeisen der Zurrhaken.

Gefällt mir sehr!

Ich bin also sehr zufrieden mit dem PRO Travelbag – und er wird mich definitiv weiter begleiten. Das Monoposto-Heck meiner Ducati 748s wird auf das Vergnügen mit der Hecktasche verzichten müssen, der Road King von Harley-Davidson allerdings nicht. Und: Falls der Frunk meines Teslas groß genug ist, fährt der PRO Travelbag in wenigen Tagen wieder nach Frankreich.

Ausprobiert und für gut befunden

Daher, an dieser Stelle: Vielen Dank, SW-Motech, für Eure wertvolle Unterstützung!!

65 litre universal fit tail bag with molle attachments, 3 mesh compartments and waterproof inner bag.

Select an option

Stock due in soon, verified customer reviews for sw motech pro travelbag tail bag.

I usually go for the smaller tail bag so it sits on my passenger seat but needed something bigger for days out. Very pleased with the construction and quality feel of the tail bag. Very roomy for all my needs. Very easy to put on and take off within minutes max. Once you get use to doing it, riding life becomes easier. 1) The side pockets are very big so thats a plus for putting spare emergency bike items for days out. 2) Has a waterproof bag but the tail bag does a good job at been water resistant and didn't get wet inside while been out all afternoon in the rain. 3) The straps are very easy to use so you never feel like you have to keep it on. *My only complaint is a personal one so it likely wont apply to you. My Indian scout has a low fender seat so the top clips when opening hit the paint on the fender if I rush to open it. This is a personal issue though and doesn't affect the overall rating and use of the SW Motech pro travelbag tail bag.

This wasn't my first choice due to the price, however my first choice was returned as it didn't sit right on the bike. The SW Motech Travelbag is an excellent fit for my GS and the finish and quality of the bag is of a high standard. Lots of room, and side compartments for documents etc.

Although I haven't yet tried the bag I'm well impressed with the quality. It's not a soft bag so doesn't flop around, some kind of flexible structure inside. It's got a big flap that zipps up and pockets inside as well as a waterproof bag to put your kit in. I can't imagine it's gonna get wet through anyway. Lots of anchor points and straps supplied too. Overall it's a great looking bag and looks good on my black tiger sport

Superb, robust and roomy bag but not too bulky.

About SW Motech

Germany's leading motorcycle luggage company can trace its roots back to one bike adventure in 1994. Engineer Jurgen Swora wanted the right luggage for a trip to Libya on his Honda Africa Twin, so he made his own. His creation was so popular among friends that it led to the birth of SW Motech in 1999. Now charging into its third decade, SW Motech is still true to those original principles of high-quality engineering. Craftsmanship with metal remains the foundation of the company, which has grown to over 200 employees, and now it has a wide range of soft luggage to complement the hard luggage around which the company made its name.

You won’t get it cheaper. Our Price Match Promise.

Find it cheaper at any major motorcycle accessory retailer, online or in-store and we‘ll match it.

SW-MOTECH PRO Rearbag Hecktasche

Mit seiner universellen Passform eignet sich das PRO Rearbag für den Einsatz auf Straßenmaschinen genauso wie für den Soziussitz einer Reise-Enduro. Mit einem Volumen von 22 Litern, das sich auf bis zu 34 Liter erweitern lässt, bietet die Tasche ausreichend Platz für Reisegepäck auf dem Soziussitz deines Motorrades. Selbst deinen Helm kannst du im Rearbag verstauen. Der leicht gewölbte Unterboden passt sich dem Sitz an und ist mit rutschhemmendem Material ausgestattet. Die Oberseite der PRO Rearbag Hecktasche aus formstabilem und laminiertem EVA-Material gibt Zusatztaschen sicheren Halt am aufgenähten MOLLE-Aufsatz.

Die Hecktasche aus der PRO Serie wird aus unverwüstlichem 1680 D Ballistic Nylon gefertigt, das ursprünglich für militärische Zwecke konzipiert wurde. Zudem überzeugt sie mit hochwertiger Verarbeitung und durchdachten Features: Reflektierende Aufsätze sorgen für bessere Sichtbarkeit, robuste Zurrhaken sichern die Taschen einfach und schnell am Heck und ein MOLLE-Aufsatz auf der Oberseite ermöglicht die Befestigung von Zusatztaschen. Die patentierten Zurrhaken erlauben eine flexible Befestigung der PRO Hecktaschen. Dabei erfolgen das Einhaken und das Spannen der Gurte in einem Schritt. Zum Abnehmen der Tasche wird der Gurt mit einem Handgriff entspannt und durch Ziehen am Zugband aus der Zurröse entfernt. Die überschüssige Gurtlänge kann mit einem Klettverschluss am Gurt gesichert werden. So kann die Tasche an verschiedenen Motorrädern zum Einsatz kommen und die Gurtlänge entsprechend angepasst werden.

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.

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.

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.

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!

The best time to visit Moscow is during spring (March-May). The temperatures will begin to creep up and the sun begins to shine for significant portions of the day. Hotel rates will also have yet to skyrocket into peak ranges!

It’s the best known of the Russian Kremlins – citadels or fortress’ protecting and dominating a city. During the early decades of the Soviet era, the Kremlin was a private enclave where the state’s governing elite lived and worked.

The Kremlin is outlined by an irregularly shaped triangular wall that encloses an area of 68 acres! The existing walls and towers were built from 1485 to 1495. Inside the Kremlin museum complex, there are five palaces, four cathedrals, and the enclosing Kremlin Wall with Kremlin towers.

The Armoury Chamber is a part of the Grand Kremlin Palace’s complex and is one of the oldest museums of Moscow, established in 1851. It showcases Russian history and displays many cherished relics. Definitely make sure to check out this museum while you’re here!

The churches inside the Moscow Kremlin are the Cathedral of the Dormition, Church of the Archangel, Church of the Annunciation, and the bell tower of Ivan Veliki (a church tower).

The five-domed Cathedral of the Dormition is considered the most famous. It was built from 1475–1479 by an Italian architect and has served as a wedding and coronation place for great princes, tsars, and emperors of Russia. Church services are given in the Kremlin’s numerous cathedrals on a regular basis.

The Grand Kremlin Palace was the former Tsar’s Moscow residence and today it serves as the official workplace of the President of the Russian Federation (Vladimir Putin seems to have bagged that title for life) .

Insider Tip: The Kremlin is closed every Thursday! Make sure to plan this stop on your Moscow itinerary for any other day of the week!

Day 1 / Stop 3 – Lenin’s Mausoleum

Why it’s awesome: The mausoleum displays the preserved body of Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin .
Cost: Free!
Food nearby: Khinkal’naya is a charming Georgian restaurant with vaulted ceilings and exposed brick. It’s a popular place with locals and right next to the Red Square!

It’s located just a few steps away from the Kremlin Wall and is one of the most controversial yet popular Moscow attractions!

Admission is free for everyone, you’ll only need to pay if you need to check a bag. Before visitors are allowed to enter the mausoleum, they have to go through a metal detector first. No metal objects, liquids, or large bags are allowed in the mausoleum!

Expect a line to enter the building, and while you’re inside the building, you’ll be constantly moving in line with other visitors. This means you won’t be able to spend as long as you’d like viewing the mausoleum, but you’ll still be able to get a good look. Pictures and filming while inside the building are strictly prohibited, and security guards will stop you if they see you breaking this rule.

The mausoleum is only open on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday – unless it’s a public holiday or a day scheduled for maintenance. The hours it’s open for each day are limited, make sure to check online before you visit to make sure you can fit this into your Moscow itinerary for that day!

Located in the Red Square, the ornate 16th-century St. Basil’s Cathedral is probably the building you picture when you think of Moscow’s unique architecture. Its colorful onion-shaped domes tower over the Moscow skyline!

The cathedral was built from 1555-1561 by order of Tsar Ivan the Terrible. It was designed with an iconic onion dome facade and enchanting colors that captivate all who see it. Fun fact: If you’re wondering why Russian churches have onion domes, they are popularly believed to symbolize burning candles!

This iconic cathedral has become a symbol of Russia due to its distinguishing architecture and prominent position inside the Red Square. It’s one of the most beautiful, wonderful, and mesmerizing historical cathedrals in the world!

The interior of the church surprises most people when they visit. In contrast to the large exterior, the inside is not so much one large area, but rather a collection of smaller areas, with many corridors and small rooms. There are 9 small chapels and one mausoleum grouped around a central tower.

Visiting the inside is like walking through a maze, there are even small signs all around the cathedral tracing where to walk, and pointing you in the right direction! The walls are meticulously decorated and painted with intricate floral designs and religious themes.

The church rarely holds service and is instead a museum open for the public to visit.

Insider Tip: During the summer months the line to go inside the cathedral can get quite long! Make sure to arrive early or reserve your tickets online to guarantee quick access into the cathedral!

Day 1 / Stop 5 – GUM Department Store

Cost: Free to enter
Food nearby: Stolovaya 57 is a cafeteria-style restaurant with a variety of inexpensive Russian cuisine menu items including soups, salads, meat dishes, and desserts. It’s also located inside the GUM department store, making it very easily accessible when you’re shopping!

The enormous GUM Department Store is located within the historic Red Square. It has a whimsical enchantment to it that sets it apart from your typical department store.

A massive domed glass ceiling lines the top of the building and fills the interior with natural sunlight. There are live plants and flowers placed throughout the mall that give the shopping complex a lively and cheerful feel! A playful fountain sits in the center, further adding to the malls inviting a sense of wonder and amusement!

The GUM department store opened on December 2, 1893. Today, it includes local and luxury stores, including Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Prada, and many more! There are numerous cafes, restaurants, and even a movie theater inside!

For a special treat, head into Gastronom 1. This 1950s-style shop sells gourmet food items, like wine, freshly-baked pastries, cheese, Russian chocolate, and of course, vodka! Also, be on the lookout for a bicycle pedaling ice cream truck with an employing selling ice cream!

The ambiance is simply amazing, a trip to this idyllic shopping mall is an absolute must on any Moscow itinerary!

Insider Tip: Make sure to carry some small change on you in case you need to use the restroom, you’ll need to pay 50 rubles – or about USD $0.80 to use the bathroom in GUM.

Now that we’ve covered what to do in Moscow in 2 days, if you’re able to spend more time in the city you’re going to need more attractions to fill your time. Here are a few more really cool things to do in Moscow we recommend!

Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics

Hear the timeline of the ‘space race’ from the Russian perspective
This museum is fun for both adults and children!
Admission is USD $4.00

The Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics is a museum dedicated to space exploration! The museum explores the history of flight, astronomy, space exploration, space technology, and space in the arts. It houses a large assortment of Soviet and Russian space-related exhibits, and the museum’s collection holds approximately 85,000 different items!

The museum does an excellent job of telling the full story of the exciting space race between the USSR and the US! It highlights the brightest moments in Russian history and humanity and is very interesting and fun for all ages!

If you’re a fan of space or just curious about gaining insight into Russia’s fascinating history of space exploration, make sure to add this to your 3 day itinerary in Moscow!

The Alexander Garden

A tranquil place to relax near the Red Square
Green lawns dotted with sculptures and lovely water features
The park is open every day and has no entrance fee

The Alexander Garden was one of the first urban public parks in Moscow! The garden premiered in 1821 and was built to celebrate Russia’s victory over Napoleon’s forces in 1812!

The park is beautiful and well maintained with paths to walk on and benches to rest on. The park contains three separate gardens: the upper garden, middle garden, and lower garden.

Located in the upper garden, towards the main entrance to the park is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with its eternal flame. This monument was created in 1967 and contains the body of a soldier who fell during the Great Patriotic War!

The park stretches along all the length of the western Kremlin wall for about half a mile. Due to its central location in the city, it’ll be easily accessible when you’re out exploring The Red Square.

It provides a bit of relief from the city’s high-energy city streets. Bring a picnic lunch, go for a walk, or just sit and people watch, this is one of the best Moscow sites to wind-down and relax!

Ostankino Television Tower

Television and radio tower in Moscow
Currently the tallest free-standing structure in Europe
Make sure you bring your passport when you visit, you can’t go up without it!

For spectacular views of the city, make sure to add the Ostankino Television Tower to your itinerary for Moscow! This impressive free-standing structure provides stunning views of the city in every direction. The glass floor at the top also provides great alternative views of the city!

It takes just 58 seconds for visitors to reach the Tower’s observation deck by super fast elevator. The tower is open every day for long hours and is a great site in Moscow to check out! There is even a restaurant at the top where you can enjoy rotating views of the city while you dine on traditional Russian cuisine or European cuisine!

The tower is somewhat of an architectural surprise in a city that is not known for skyscrapers! To see the city from a new perspective, make sure to add this stop to your Moscow itinerary!

Izmaylovo District

The most popular attractions in this district are the kremlin and the flea market
Outside of the city center and easy to reach via metro
Most popular during the summer and on weekends

Travel outside the city center and discover a unique area of the city! The Izmaylovo District is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, and one of the coolest places to see in Moscow! The two main attractions we recommend checking out are the Kremlin and the flea market.

The Izmailovo Kremlin was established as a cultural center and molded after traditional Russian architecture. This colorful complex is home to several single-subject museums, including a Russian folk art museum and a vodka museum!

Next to the Kremlin is the Izmailovo open-air market, which dates back to the 17th century! The market is connected to the Izmailovo Kremlin by a wooden bridge. Pick up all your Russian souvenirs here, including traditional handicrafts, paintings, books, retro toys, and Soviet memorabilia!

You will find many hand-made and hand-painted options available at higher prices, as well as mass-produced souvenir options at lower prices!

Museum of Soviet Arcade Games

Closed on Mondays
Filled with old arcade games that visitors get to try out!
The museum also includes a small cafe and burger shop

For something a little different, check out the Museum of Soviet Arcade Games! The museum features roughly 60 machines from the Soviet era, including video games, pinball machines, and collaborative hockey foosball! The machines inside the museum were produced in the USSR in the mid-1970s.

The best part is, most of the games are still playable! Purchase tickets and try the games out for yourself! The museum also has a neat little screening room that plays old Soviet cartoons and an area with Soviet magazines! This unique attraction is a fun addition to a 3 day itinerary in Moscow, and an attraction that all ages will enjoy!

Whether you’re spending one day in Moscow, or more, safety is an important thing to keep in mind when traveling to a big city! Overall, Moscow is a very safe place to visit. However, it is always recommended that tourists take certain precautions when traveling to a new destination!

The police in Moscow is extremely effective at making the city a safe place to visit and do their best to patrol all of the top Moscow, Russia tourist attractions. However, tourists can still be a target for pickpockets and scammers.

Moscow has a huge flow of tourists, therefore there is a risk for pickpocketing. Simple precautions will help eliminate your chances of being robbed. Stay vigilant, keep your items close to you at all times, and don’t flash your valuables!

If you’re planning a solo Moscow itinerary, you should have no need to worry, as the city is also considered safe for solo travelers, even women. Stay in the populated areas, try and not travel alone late at night, and never accept rides from strangers or taxis without a meter and correct signage.

The threat of natural disasters in Moscow is low, with the exception of severe winters when the temperature can dip below freezing! Bring a good, warm jacket if you visit in Winter.

However, please note that Russian views on homsexuality are far less accepting than those in Western Europe. Likewise, Non-Caucasian travellers may sadly encounter racism in Russia .

ALWAYS sort out your backpacker insurance before your trip. There’s plenty to choose from in that department, but a good place to start is Safety Wing .

They offer month-to-month payments, no lock-in contracts, and require absolutely no itineraries: that’s the exact kind of insurance long-term travellers and digital nomads need.
