• Ulasan : Satu-satunya pool bis jurusan kota-kota di pulau Jawa yang berada ditengah kota. Parkir mobil hanya cukup 3~4 mobil di dalam. Tempat menunggu yang kurang rapi dan kurang bersih. ✭✭✭✭ By ILham Priyo (2 bulan lalu) Tgl 17 April 2023 anak dan istri naik bis yg executive jurusan palembang, makan dekat merak diminta tambahan 10rb per orang, tanpa penjelasan dari kasir. Tgl 25 April kami naik bis super executive, saya kira dapat pelayanan lebih dari executive, ternyata yg membedakan hanya tempat duduk 2-1 seat, yg lain sama, bahkan tidak dapat air minum dan snack, malam dapat nasi uduk dalam box, dan 2 kupon makan, saat makan di tempat makan sekitar merak saya tanyakan, apakah bayar lagi, antisipasi kejadian tgl 17 April jangan terulang, akhirnya ditawari popmie dan aqua botol 600ml, ternyata ada kejadian seperti tgl 17 April menimpa penumpang lain. Tolong management Putra Remaja memperhatikan tentang jatah makan, terutama di tempat makan dekat merak, jangan ada yg pakai kupon masih diminta bayar yg penumpang tidak tahu. Bis super executive tolong ditambah fasilitasnya, jangan seperti executive kecuali jumlah tempat duduk. ✭✭✭✭ By S S (sebulan yang lalu) Pool bus putra remaja di Palembang, melayani perjalanan ke kota2 di pulau jawa dan Sumatera ✭✭✭✭ By Adnan Rizki Ramadhani (Rama) (sebulan yang lalu) Sebenarnya bis ini langganan keluarga besar ketika mudik ke Jawa. Kemarin bulan Desember PP juga pakai otobus ini. Tapi kali ini kualitas bus yang beroperasi sangat di bawah standard sekali. Waktu berangkat bus mogok di palembang, berujung oper didobel dengan trayek berikutnya. Tentunya ini sangat tidak memuaskan sekali. Harusnya pihak tim mekanik memastikan kelayakan mobil kepada penjadwal. Lalu ketika pulang kami bersama bus yang kondisi kaca spion dan kaca depan yang sangat memprihatinkan, ini kasihan sekali pak sopirnya. Andaikan jika saya sopirnya maka saya tidak mau menyopiri mobil itu. Sopir juga mengeluh, bahwa ini bus belum layak jalan tp sudah masuk jadwal. Parahnya ketika mobil lepas dari kota palembang AC tidak berfungsi sebagai mana mestinya. Bus terasa seperti sauna. Para penumpang mengeluh panasnya udara di dalam bus. Saya pun tergerak untuk komplain. Sebab memang serasa panasnya tidak sejam dua jam. Ini perjalanan jauh, bukan trayek pendek. Namun saya mengakui bahwa pelayanan otobus ini prima sekali sebelumnya. Saya harap ada perbaikan dan penjaminan mutu mobil sebelum operasi. Penambahan trayek dan kelas penumpang itu memang kemajuan. Namun, mutu armada tetaplah segalanya. Terima kasih otobus putra remaja. Kami tidak tahu untuk bepergian selanjutnya apakah akan tetap memakai jasa otobus ini lagi. ✭✭✭✭ By teguh hidayanto (3 bulan lalu) Benar benar kecewa, membeli tiket tujuan solo (tempat agen) tapi di turunkan di TOL, posisi membawa balita dan lansia. Jika memang bukan tujuan solo harusnya dari awal bilang, dan ini kami tidak menyangka sama sekali, bahkan berjalan kaki jauh membawa bawaan yang lumayan banyak, kita membayar dengan uang pak/bu, astagfirullah hanya bisa ngelus dada sama banyak sabar. ✭ By desi lestari (3 minggu yang lalu)

Pelayanan baik, kendaraan msh terhitung tahun keluaran baru, tiketing ramah dan informative, hanya saja tdk ontime keberangkatan nya. Dapat snack box n mineral water.

Travel yg menurut sy tidak MANUSIAWI tidak sesuai harganya yg mahal 300rb. Yg diapami penumpang lain sy alami. Diberhentikan bukan lokasi rumah, walau di tengah malam.

Utk yg Palembang ke Lampung mkin ini terakhir pakai ratu intan. Klo penumpang hanya 4 org kita keluar dri tol terbanggi untuk makan dlu di bandar jaya. Setelah it lewat jalan lintas sumatera, klo mau masuk tol lg per orang bayar 10rb untuk bantu driver isi etolnya untuk bayar tol smpe natar. Sebenernya sy gak marah sama drivernya tp krna kondisi ratu intannya, jadi kasihan malahan sm drivernya krna mreka dapatnya sdikit klo perjalanan ke lampung krn lewat tol.

Sebenernya ini jd perhatian pemilik travel ratu intan, padahal biaya per orang 300rb , lbh mahal dri travel lain yg biasanya 280rb sdh full lewat tol smpe natar.

Smoga pemilik ratu intan baca ini, klo seperti ini trus yg makai jasa travel ratu intan berkurang, jangan andalkan pengiriman paket aj, suatu hari nanti klo jasa antar paket smpe pelosok saingan tambah berat. Jd lbih baik pikir2 lg deh

Saya eddy penumpang keberangkatan tgl 23 April jam 11 dari Palembang ke Jambi,

Pihak travel tidak bisa memberikan hak saya utk pelayanan jemputan sebagai penumpang, padahal jarak loket dengan hotel (batiqa hotel) tempat saya menginap cukup dekat, alasan nya tidak ada sopir utk menjemput.

Sangat TIDAK PROFESIONAL, travel sekelas Ratu intan yg sudah established lebih dari 40 tahun, tidak bisa mengatur jadwal hadir sopir nya di hari besar seperti Lebaran, yang jelas2 even rutin tahunan.

TOP MANAGEMENT Ratu intan jadikan lah ini perhatian serius

Pelayanan buruk,admin nya jutek,kalo ga niat kerja mending drmh aja kak. Kita yg makek jasa jadi kesel juga. Make ni jasa juga bukan cuma sekali,tolong dibantu yaa biar lebih baik lagi kedepannya.

Pakai indomaret point ga nambah, jangan lah, point nya itu punya orang jangan kalian ambil, struk mana ga di kasih. Udah tunjukin barcode, tp ga ada point yg masuk. Parah karyawan nya. Ga ada mutu……

We recently spoke with Adikara Wedhatama, or Dimas, one of our local travel experts based in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. We spoke of the importance of culture, of his favourite spots to visit, and of the dangers of democratic votes!

Interviewed by George Robinson

Dimas chuckles incessantly, and with genuine warmth. His English is perfect, yet with a few idiosyncrasies dotted throughout. He repeatedly calls me “sir”, peppers his speech with rather formal phrases like “if I’m not mistaken”, and utilises the phrase “let me be honest with you” with the poise of an earnest politician. It’s old-fashioned, but I get the impression it’s purposefully playful, playing on the role of the humble guide with graceful confidence.

This is especially true of the use of “sir”, applied to me even though he is a little older. Yet, it doesn’t feel strange – he treats me like a traveller on his tours, guiding me through our conversation, at home teaching me about his home. On the subject of age, I comment that he looks a lot younger.

“Let me be honest with you…the bandana is doing a lot of work here.”

Dimas is wearing a Batik bandana. Batik is an ancient Indonesian art form made with wax resistant dye on fabrics. It can be worn casually but is often used in ritual and is connected with many ceremonies, local celebrations, and broader Indonesian culture. It is apt that I’m drawn to the bandana early on in the conversation since Batik, and Indonesian culture more generally, forms a significant part of Dimas’ identity.

On the Path into Guiding

Dimas’ initiation into the world of guiding is becoming a familiar pattern with our guides. While studying for his English diploma, he was advised by a friend, already a guide, to join in with the fun. Fuelled by a desire for the freedom to explore his country – and share it with others – Dimas did not take much convincing.

“Before that, while I was studying, my part-time job was in an office – just doing some paperwork. I definitely didn’t want to keep doing that!”

Dimas details the long and complicated process of getting licensed in Indonesia, first at a provincial level and then at a national level. He has progressed through the ranks and now specialises in the longer, country-wide tours for one of Discova’s main partners in the region.

To me, he seems like a natural, born to do this, but he admits it wasn’t always an easy ride, even with his English diploma.

“Actually, I didn’t feel very confident in English because, at first, I’ll be honest, man, although I had learned English in college, once you meet the ‘real’ foreigner from US or from the UK, it’s completely different. The first client that I got at that time, I couldn’t speak for almost half an hour until my friend slapped me on the back and got me going.”

A shy, hesitant Dimas? I would never have imagined. It seems like Dimas hasn’t stopped talking since that slap on the back.

He explains it took a little time to get used to the range of accents and the speed at which people speak, and he freely concedes that Scottish and Irish accents can still be a challenge.

“Your northern accent is okay though, don’t worry, sir”, he reassures me.

On Being a Local Travel Expert for Discova

Dimas explains that he had been doing contracted work for a few different tour operators as a tourist guide. He was approached through a friend to work for Discova in 2019. This appealed to Dimas since the role offered was a significant step up; a transition from being a tour guide to a trip leader. This role relies upon cooperation with a much wider team and a substantial amount of planning and preparation – a lot more responsibility.

“Let me be honest, that was a great journey in my life at that time. Life is about challenging yourself and pushing on to the next thing. You have to progress. I learned from others, and got help from the team. I managed.”

The work he undertook for Discova also enabled him to further explore Indonesia and organise these long, country-wide itineraries showcasing the very best that Indonesia has to offer.

Dimas relishes the chance to show off historic Yogyakarta. From discovering the exuberant places to chasing culinary delights on a street eats tour, Dimas always enjoys sharing the stories of his hometown. Nearby Borobudur temple, the largest Buddhist temple in the world, is undeniably iconic and warrants hours of exploration – a fantastic place to understand the intrinsic connection between Javanese culture and this place of worship. Take a look at some of the tours Dimas operates here .

However, besides these standard go-to tourist sites, Dimas decides to focus on the visits to the Batik-making industries, where he takes travellers to visit behind the scenes.

“We take travellers to learn about the craft. Discova contacted the community to arrange this and the community members themselves become the guides. My job is then as a translator, to help them explain their story and the meaning of Batik.”

This is part of a relationship between Discova and the community. Through partnering with them, we aim to bring revenue to the group, bringing tourists where they may not usually visit. In this way, it represents our simple ‘win-win-win’ principle in which all the stakeholders benefit from this relationship.

However, Dimas touches on something a little outside of the box, something that is close to his heart and speaks to another benefit of such an interaction:

“You know, to be honest with you, many young Indonesians do not respect Batik in our culture, and that saddens me because it is part of our heritage. I wonder why this may be and what we can do to keep these traditions. It may sound strange, but bringing tourists who are interested in the art form and the stories behind it – I think it shows that Batik is something of value. It shows this is something we should be proud of.”

He warns of a wider move to disregard the old ways, of the danger of using modern tools instead of traditional methods.

“That would mean Batik would lose its soul.”

He claims that tourism can save traditional Batik culture. It’s an interesting discussion, to frame the value of a cultural tradition related to its draw for tourists. Dimas insists that’s not quite what he means, but merely suggests that he has seen benefits in the local neighbourhoods as a direct result of renewed tourist interest.

“Even with the old-style Javanese houses. Many people before would simply tear these down to make newer ones – each time I felt this was a little poke in our community. Now, people are beginning to see, we should preserve these old buildings – they are part of our heritage. Same too with preserving some of our old languages and the move to uphold our distinct set of manners. If it needed tourism to point this out to some people, I don’t mind.”

“It’s simple. It doesn’t even matter if the foreigners buy Batik patterns or not. What is important to me is that the young Indonesians take notice and are curious to say, ‘why are the foreigners interested in this? I think this can make them proud.”

I hesitate to agree with him on this, which he – a skilled reader of people – naturally picks up on.

“Sir, let me be honest with you, tourism is a dual-edged blade. It can be used for good and it can be used for bad.”

On Indonesia

I ask Dimas for a rundown of his other favourite experiences with travellers on his long tours of Indonesia.

He goes through the magical sunrises at Mount Bromo, spotting large komodos, hiking up volcanoes, and spending time sharing stories while relaxing on beautiful beaches.

On hearing beaches, I bring up Bali.

“You know, Bali, to me, is only one part of Indonesian culture. I would encourage everybody to come to Yogyakarta if you want to see another side of what it means to be Indonesian.”

So, he wouldn’t recommend Bali?

“No, not at all. That’s not what I mean. Bali is a beautiful island paradise. It’s great for families with its resorts, there are incredible beaches, beautiful scenery…the wellness things…the parties. This is all fantastic if you want that. By all means, go and enjoy it. But, I still recommend going to mainland Java as well to get a better idea of the local life there. With Discova, you can organise a trip that sees the best of both worlds, to get a taste of all sides to Indonesia.”

Speaking of taste, I ask for his thoughts on a recent article we published concerning Indonesian food options , specifically looking at vegan choices. He agrees with the list compiled, and his face lights up when describing gudeg, in particular.

“Oh, that stuff is so good, man, honestly! You know the story of gudeg?”

Gudeg is a slow-cooked jackfruit curry, cooked overnight to allow a whole bunch of delicate spices to ferment and bubble away into a gloriously rich coconut-based concoction.

“It’s connected with workers, the common worker. They had to cut down a lot of jackfruit and coconut trees to build something and wondered what to do with the jackfruit and coconuts. So, they cooked them all up in a big pot with our favourite Indonesian spices. The meal was so delicious and kept them going throughout the day. That’s basically it!”

However, he wants to make one addition to my list of food options, though this would usually be served to accompany food.

“I would say that many travellers really enjoy the coffee we have here. Kopi Joss”

Dimas is referring to the famous charcoal coffee to be had in Yogyakarta, in which a lump of charcoal is dumped into the sweetened brew. This is said to reduce the acidity of the coffee while also infusing a slight caramel taste.

“I’m not a big fan to be honest. But coffee-lovers enjoy this experience. I like to take clients a restaurant, named Kopi Joss. It is mostly related to Yogyakarta youngster culture. People here like to hangout, chill, relax with their friends and drink coffee or tea. And Kopi Joss at the north of Malioboro Street is one of the best places for it. A great place to feel the vibe of the Indonesian youngsters.”

On the Dangers of Democracy

There’s just time in our conversation to talk a little about group management. Much like the other guides I have spoken to, Dimas waxes lyrical over the relationships he has made over time.

“Every time it’s a new experience and an adventure. Even though I go to the same place, its new because of the people I share it with. I learn from them, and they learn from me, and it’s such a lovely thing to be a part of.”

He continues to reflect on the nice feelings he encounters.

“I like when I am telling a story on the bus. It’s normal in the beginning to see that maybe somebody doesn’t want to listen – maybe they want to rest or something – that’s okay.”

“So, I turn off my mic, head to the middle of the bus, usually there is somebody who wants to engage with me. As I speak and answer questions and people seem to enjoy the time, I notice the circle gets larger and larger, and more and more people turn to listen – even the guy who thought he wanted to rest can’t help but be interested!”

He insists that the majority of his experiences have been positive, but relents to allow that there have been difficulties, especially when he first started out.

“I remember, particularly with older people, sometimes they can get tired. So, sometimes a sunrise walk for a view on top of a mountain may not seem so appealing, even though I know it is worth it.”

“One time, I asked, okay, ‘let’s have a vote, who wants to skip the sunrise trek?’ More than half put their hand up! Then I realised I was in a difficult position – do I split the group up? That would be a nightmare for the itinerary. The itinerary! This was to take half the day, what would the clients do instead? I had made a huge problem for myself. I don’t do votes anymore. Too dangerous.”

“Instead, it’s about hinting at the option to skip if they really want to miss out!”

Discover Indonesia With Dimas

Much like everybody else at Discova, Dimas is counting down the days to when he is able to regularly welcome back travellers. He is hopeful about plans to reopen Bali in July but knows that this is one small step on the long road back to normality for international travel to Indonesia.

However, for our partners and clients, we can get excited about a broader resurgence in travel in 2022 and beyond. Take a look at the inspiring experiences available in Indonesia and see what Discova can provide for your customers- over and above the wonderful personality of Dimas himself!

Moscow for everyone: Here's how to enjoy the Russian capital whatever your passion

Flanked by the imposing buildings of the Kremlin, the stepped granite blocks of Lenin’s Mausoleum and the fanciful onion domes of St Basil’s Cathedral, Moscow's Red Square is nothing short of legendary, but only a taste of what the Russian capital has to offer.

Manicured gardens and parks, brutalist monuments, quirky museums, open-air cinemas and glitzy boutiques co-exist in this storied city, which burst into the 21st century with a slew of restaurant openings and grand urban schemes.

Visitors have never had it so easy, with a raft of digital innovations designed to facilitate and enhance the tourist experience.

One such is the RUSSPASS , a new e-service that allows users not only to plan and book attractions in Moscow and across Russia, but also to create bespoke itineraries to suit every type of interest and budget. The RUSSPASS app is available in English and Spanish and allows tourists to buy e-tickets and to top up the balance of a Moscow transport card.

Beyond caviar and ballet

Moscow’s burgeoning gastronomic scene has been causing a stir locally and internationally. Published for the first time in 2021, the Michelin Moscow Guide awarded its prestigious stars to no fewer than nine of the city’s restaurants. A total of 69 restaurants were recommended, with three of them awarded ‘green stars’ for sustainability. Fifteen restaurants received the ‘Bib Gourmand’, which acknowledges excellent cooking at affordable prices.

Time-honoured haunts for blinis and caviar include the baroque Café Pushkin and the formidable soviet-themed Dr Zhivago , while the glass-domed White Rabbit , whose chef starred in Netflix's 'Chef's Table', continues to dazzle with creative twists on classic dishes. Also creating a stir is Twins Garden , which focuses on wildly inventive vegetable dishes and home-grown produce.

As the country emerges from the pandemic, music, theatre and exhibitions are also back on the agenda. A performance from the matchless Bolshoi Ballet has been a hot ticket since the 18th century, but the Bolshoi Theatre is just one of more than 700 Moscow cultural centers.

These include world-renowned palaces of art such as the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts , a remarkable collection bringing together masterpieces from every major Western movement as well as Egyptian antiquities.

Lesser-known but equally fascinating galleries lie all over the city. An offshoot of the Tretyakov Gallery, the New Tretyakov Gallery also focuses on modern Russian artists, and features works by Kandinsky, Chagall and Popova, among many others.

Moscow's wealth of parks and curious architecture make it a great place for children. The fairytale colours of buildings such as St Basil's Cathedral are every match for the architectural whimsy at Dream Island , a huge indoor theme park where cartoon characters wander through the crowds.

The shiplike Northern River Terminal, built in the 1930s in a Stalinist style, is also a favourite, and has recently undergone dramatic renovation. It now includes a wealth of children’s playgrounds, heating swimming pools and a winter ice rink.

Other ways to keep the little ones entertained include catching a movie at the Khudozhestvenny cinema or a trip on the Moskva River cable car. This vertiginous ride has panoramic views over the city, taking in the Moscow river, the Ostankino TV and radio tower and the skyscrapers of the business district.

These and other activities for children and families are laid out in the official city tourist portal, discovermoscow.com . Here you’ll find information on every type of attraction, from which animals can be petted at the VDNH city farm to the best street food snacks and where they can be found.

It’s a huge and colourful resource, covering the most obscure museums and secret parks, with suggestions for different days of the week and a blog-style news section. On a practical level it lays bare the transport system, COVID-19 protocols, Wi-Fi possibilities and where to hire bikes and scooters.

Rising to current challenges with innovation

Not only its attractions, but also Moscow’s enormous efforts to face the health crisis in practical and forward-thinking ways have been acknowledged on the international stage. In 2021 it has been nominated for both World’s Leading City Destination and Europe’s Leading City Destination at the World Travel Awards.”

The authorities’ support for the travel industry in troubled times has seen dozens of online events and international tourism conferences, as well as the launch of the Moscow Travel Hub, a collaborative platform to promote the creation and development of new products and services.

The spring of 2021 saw the Moscow Travel Hack, an extensive hackathon in which finalists were offered financial support for the implementation of their products, at a time when digital tourism solutions have never been so integral.

Digital tourists can use discovermoscow.com to take a virtual trip to the ballet or opera and even watch cooking or fashion shows. Together with the wealth of detail and endless images of the site, even armchair travellers can experience the wonders of Russia’s greatest metropolis.

15 Fantastic and Easy Day Trips From Moscow

Is the hustle and bustle of Moscow starting to wear you down? No worries. There are multiple great day trips from Moscow that will let you see a different side of Russia that you won’t find in the metropolitan area. Each day trip I’ve listed below can easily be done by train from Moscow, and there are trains every day of the week.

The area surrounding Moscow is rich in cultural attractions and natural beauty. By traveling only a short distance, one feels far away from the crowds, and lines of the sprawling Russian capital. Since Russia is undoubtedly an expansive country it may take from half an hour to two hours to reach some of the landmarks on this list (by train or car) from the Moscow city center.

You can escape to the picturesque Russian countryside, visit war memorials, battlefields, admire onion-domed churches, and get insight into the local way of life. Easy day trips from Moscow include the incomparable white-stone Trinity Cathedral in Sergiyev Posad, the spectacular Cathedral of the Assumption in Dmitrov, and the Russian military aircraft in Monino. For those who love rural tranquility, Suzdal and Vladimir are a must-see. History buffs will appreciate the Patriotic War of 1812 reenactment that took place in Borodino on the first weekend of September.

Without further ado, here are 15 best day trips from Moscow that are well worth your attention.

The Best Day Trips from Moscow

There’s a reason Moscow is one of Europe’s most enigmatic destinations. It’s got culture, class, food, history, and more, but even better, is that it is the country’s main transport hub with so many attractions within a day trip from Moscow. While you can definitely spend days or even weeks in Moscow, it can, of course, be done in just one week. What can you do in Moscow in seven days ? Well, you can do a lot if you know how to plan a trip to a place you know so little about.

If you’re ready to get out of the city a bit and soak up the culture, fresh air, and enchanting architecture, I’ve rounded up my favorite day trips outside of Moscow. I often get asked: What are the best cities to visit in Russia? And these are places that I’ve been and loved.

My Favorite Easy Day Trips from Moscow:

Dmitrov Kolomna Zvenigorod Sergiyev Posad Yaroslavl Arkhangelskoye Estate Vladimir Suzdal Korolev Borodino Patriot Park in Kubinka Melikhovo Gorki Leninskie Kaluga Monino

1. Day Trip to Dmitrov from Moscow

Dmitrov may not be as popular as other cities in Russia, but the fact that the city was founded only 7 years earlier than Moscow makes for a great day trip. This small city some 90 kilometers from Moscow is particularly beautiful in the summer. As you walk the streets you can see sparkling fountains, charming centuries-old buildings, yachts and boats transiting through the canal and, of course, the Museum-Reserve Dmitrov Kremlin.

The Kremlin (castle) is the city’s main draw. The 10m high and about 1km long earthen rampart remained behind the wooden wall and gives an idea of how the castle looked like 400 years ago. The oldest surviving building on the Kremlin grounds is the 16th-century Assumption Cathedral with a unique five-tier iconostasis.

Not far from the Kremlin there is a compact 15th-century Borisoglebsky convent. Its main building – the 16th-century Cathedral of Sts. Boris and Gleb is open to the visitors only for services of worship. In the 1930s in the convent housed a labor camp, which contained the builders of the Canal named after Moscow.

Getting There: Dmitrov sits an easy hour and sixteen minutes by train from Savyelovskiy Rail Terminal. This cheap day trip from Moscow is a great chance to soak up the historic charm to be found in Moscow Oblast.

2. Day Trip to Kolomna from Moscow

Situated to the south-east of Moscow, Kolomna is a beautiful port city on the Oka River. This is one of the oldest Russian cities in the region. So you can discover the old history in museums and monasteries. Interestingly, the city was a site for important weapon factories under the Soviet Union. Although it was opened up in 1994 Kolomna is not as popular as other day-trip destinations in the region.

Nevertheless, it is a great place to visit with friends and family where you can explore the 15th-century Kremlin made of red brick, try incredibly sweet traditional pastila (marshmallow), and visit some of the cute little churches and 19th-century mansions.

Getting There: Take the express train (commuter line train) from the Kazansky rail terminal to Golutvin station. The trip lasts one hour and forty minutes.

3. Day Trip to Zvenigorod from Moscow

This one is usually a given due to its proximity to and ease of transport from Moscow. It’s one of the easiest day trips from Moscow by train. You can easily hop on the train from the city and land right in the town of Zvenigorod where you can visit the 14th-century Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery and sample the sparkly and refreshing kvass, a Russian specialty beverage that’s enjoyed in the summer months.

Zvenigorod is an adorable little town just under an hour away from the Moscow city and is an amazing place to visit as it will give a relaxing break from the hectic life of Moscow. Check this day trip if you don’t feel like planning.

If you have a sweet tooth, spend some time in the quirky Museum of Russian Desserts, where you can indulge in uniquely delicious treats and explore the intersection of food and culture.

Then you may want to pay the Zvenigorod Museum of History, Architecture, and Art a visit. The museum’s exposition is located on the territory of the Savvino-Storozhevsky monastery, or rather, in the 17th-century Tsaritsyny chambers, built for the wife of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich. Stroll through the museum halls to view the permanent exhibitions, which offer insights into various aspects of Russian history. The intricate museum’s building is adorned with a decorative porch, complex patterned elements, and looks very impressive in general.

4. Day Trip to Sergiyev Posad from Moscow

If you’re looking for cheap day trips from Moscow, Sergiyev Posad is a good choice at just a few dollar train ride away. Known as a major center of pilgrimage and home to one of the largest Russian Orthodox Monastery which has been here for hundreds of years, Sergiyev Posad is a fun day trip from Moscow and can be combined with Abramtsevo Museum Estate. As the only town in Moscow Region which is included in the Golden Ring of Russian cities, Sergiyev Posad is an incredible destination for a day trip from Moscow that packs UNESCO-protected Trinity Sergius Lavra, great museums, and gorgeous architecture into one day.

Make sure you see the six-pillared Assumption Cathedral that was commissioned by Ivan the Terrible in mid-16th-century and go inside to marvel at the impressive iconostasis that features Simon Ushakov’s masterpiece, the icon of Last Supper. Enjoy a delicious lamb steak with wheat kasha, Ukha fish soup, or hand-made dumplings as you learn a lot about religious and cultural history.

Getting There: Known for its small-town charm and welcoming feel, you can get to Sergiyev Posad by train, by bus, or by car. Trains depart from Yaroslavsky Rail Terminal every thirty minutes, and the trip lasts about an hour and a half. Alternatively, you can hop on a bus at the ‘VDNKh’ metro station. A bus trip to Sergiyev Posad takes two hours on average but can be reached in 90 minutes depending on traffic. If you go by car expect to spend about an hour and a half attempting to traverse the congested Yaroslavskoye highway.

5. Day Trip to Yaroslavl from Moscow

Going from Moscow to Yaroslavl may seem like a really long day trip, but honestly, if you take the comfortable train, it only takes about four hours to reach the city, so making a Yaroslavl day trip is totally doable. Although I do recommend much more than one day in Yaroslavl, especially if it’s your first time.

Cultural tourists visiting Yaroslavl should start their exploration by strolling the historic city center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A spacious 100-hectare area enclosed by Sobinova and Republican streets is home to most popular attractions – the 17th-century Church of Elijah the Prophet that survived almost exactly in its original form, and in contrast to it, the white stone Assumption Cathedral, restored in the 2000s.

If you walk a bit further passing the Holy Trinity sculpture and city’s foundation stone, you will find yourself at Strelka, a park on the cape, which offers panoramic views of the spot at the confluence of Volga and Kotorosl rivers. On the way back, there is a pleasant walk along the picturesque Volga embankment to the Governor’s Garden with shadowy alleys and an open-air Sculpture museum.

Getting There: Yaroslavl is about 280 km (173 miles) northeast of Moscow, so the best way to get there is to take a morning train from Yaroslavskiy Rail Terminal. A tour is also a great way to see the Yaroslavl without having to worry about driving or searching for trains. You can book a tour here.

6. Day Trip to Arkhangelskoye Estate from Moscow

Situated on the outskirts of Moscow and dates back to the late 18th-century, Arkhangelskoye Estate was the domain of the nobility for over a century until the Russian Revolution swept people who owned the estate out of the country. The estate was turned into a museum, which it remains today.

The Arkhangelskoye Estate Museum holds the largest rare-book collection. The exhibition also includes old manuscripts, historical documents, photos from the past, a vast collection of sculpture, paintings, engravings, and exceptional examples of decorative art. These art objects once belonged to Prince Nikolai Yusupov, the former owner of the estate.

Arkhangelskoye Estate is often referred to as the Russian version of Versailles because of the intricately manicured garden and beautiful 18th-century park. Famous Russian writers and poets such as Pushkin, Herzen, Mayakovsky loved to spend their free time here making long excursions in the surrounding area. Arkhangelskoye is a perfect place to appreciate the terraces decorated by delightful statues, exquisite vases, and busts.

Visitors can take tours, which introduce them to vibrant examples of Russian art and culture.

Getting There: To reach the estate it’s best to take a bus or a privately-owned minibus that departs from Tushinskaya metro station.

7. Day Trip to Vladimir from Moscow

Situated only two hours east of Moscow, Vladimir is absolutely one of the best places to visit near Moscow for a day trip. This splendid city dates back to the 12th century and has a very rich history. If magnificent Orthodox cathedrals and traditional white-stone architecture entice you, then this place is perfect for a day trip with your significant other.

First things first, you need to see the Golden Gate, which indicates the entrance into the old town. This 12th-century medieval masterpiece of military architecture is associated not only with Vladimir but with the Golden Ring tourist route itself. At the top of the gate, where once was the Church of the Deposition of the Robe, there is the Museum of Weapons. Great looking arrowheads and spear points date back to the Grand Principality of Vladimir, while the exhibition in an impressively majestic setting features a number of Batu-Khan related artifacts.

There’s a variety of attractions to put on your must-see list: the Old Believers Trinity Church right behind it, the Cathedral of St Demetrius, and Dormition (Uspensky) Cathedral. If you plan on shopping for souvenirs like birch-bark masterpieces of Kunov’s masters, drawings, carving, embossing, figures of people and animals, stop by the Lacquer Miniature, the Museum of Crystal, and the Gingerbread Museum. Many of the local attractions were added to UNESCO’s list of World Heritage sites.

Getting There: The best way to visit this area is to catch an early train from Moscow and book a full-day tour of Vladimir in advance. This one includes the town of Suzdal as well.

8. Day Trip to Suzdal from Moscow

This gem of a little medieval town perched on a hill just a 30-minute ride from Vladimir is one of those places I’ve visited and could move there permanently and be happy! It’s a charming little piece of history that also has a Kremlin and visiting it feels like stepping back in time. if you’re a culture enthusiast you’ll be glad to know there are numerous churches, five monasteries, including Spaso-Yevfimiev Monastery in Suzdal. Check them out if you want to get a real taste of the country!

pend some time shopping at the Torgovaya ploshchad (Market Square), where you can buy baskets made of birch bark, ceramic handmade plates, honey or souvenirs and, of course, grab some afternoon tea!

Getting There: Trains leave regularly from Moscow’s Kurskiy Rail Terminal to Vladimir where you can hop on a bus to Suzdal. You can also take a bus from Moscow. In this case, it might take longer and you’ll probably encounter infamous traffic jams. If you go by express train the trip takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes. There are slower trains of course, but I’d recommend going with the fast one and save a lot of time!

9. Day Trip to Korolev from Moscow

Located some 30 kilometers northeast of Moscow, Korolev has become arguably the most important space research center with skilled workers from across the Soviet Union who came here to expand the space program.

It became a leading institute dedicated to aerospace research in the country. Today, that tendency can still be clearly seen on the streets and in the buildings. When the Soviet Union collapsed, the city retained its status as the headquarters of Russia’s space surveillance network and now it hosts the Russian Mission Control Center, an analogue of the American Mission Control Center at NASA’s Space Center in Houston.

If you want to learn more about Mission Control Center and the former Russian Mir space station, book a tour with a knowledgeable guide who can clearly tell the history of this place.

If you’re not into space exploration there is also a Memorial Apartment Museum of Marina Tsvetaeva in Bolshevo. With a picturesque park next to the museum, it’s a great place for walking in the fresh air. The highlight of the park is memorial stones with quotes from Tsvetaeva’s poems.

Getting There: I’d recommend going by train. Catch one at Yaroslavskiy Rail Terminal that departs every 30 minutes to reach Bolshevo station.

10. Day Trip to Borodino from Moscow

The historic Battle of Borodino on September 7, 1812, took place just outside the small village of Borodino, about 140 km west of Moscow, and about 15 km from the nearest town of Mozhaysk. Although the French won the Battle of Borodino and went to capture Moscow, it was one of the bloodiest battles of the pre-twentieth-century that is also predetermined Napoleon’s defeat.

While it was a battlefield back then, not much remains today. It’s mostly a green and grassy field now with a few monuments of military honor, architectural objects dated back to 19th and 20th century, and fortification facilities scattered throughout the area. The largest of these is the 27-meter high obelisk located right at the heart of the former battlefield.

Every year the military and patriotic festival and theatrical performance take place in Borodino. Early September is considered to be the best for visiting. But if you just want to feel the spirit of the battle, it’s better to go at any other time of the year.

Getting there: Hop on a train from the Belorussky rail terminal, disembark in Mozhaysk, and then take a bus to the museum. The whole travel time is about 2 hours.

11. Day Trip to Patriot Park in Kubinka from Moscow

Once a Red Army tank training ground, now it’s a military Disneyland with history, structure, guns, and armored vehicles! The tank museum originally housed one of the world’s largest and rarest collections of tanks. In 2016 they combined the training grounds with the newly-created Patriot Park. Since then, some of the notable and rare items have been moved to the Patriot Park site, so you may want to combine both sites into one tour (only about 20 minutes apart).

The exhibition grounds include some very rare specimens that are must-see for any military enthusiasts out there. The staff is friendly, helpful and kind, while the museum has a small shop. As this site is part of an operating military base, they may ask you to show your passport, or provide them with a photocopy of the front pages. There are vending machines for snacks and drinks, and there are bathroom facilities. There’s plenty to see, so I recommend setting aside an entire day!

Getting there: Situated halfway between Borodino and Moscow, the best way to reach Patriot Park in Kubinka is by car. Alternatively, if you don’t want to rent one, consider car-sharing apps like Gett or UBER. The price of ride-sharing services is cheap enough to make them a viable proposition for choosing them.

12. Day Trip to Melikhovo from Moscow

Located some 80 km from Moscow, Melikhovo is one of the most important museums dedicated to Anton Pavlovich Chekhov. This renowned Russian writer and playwright acquired Melikhovo in 1892. He lived there with his parents and close relatives for 7 years before moving to the Crimea in 1899. Melikhovo is where he wrote his plays “The Man in the Case” and “The Seagull”.

The estate faded into oblivion right after the Revolution but in 1939 Anton Chekhov’s sister Maria and his nephew established a museum based on Chekhov’s place of living. The museum opened its doors to the public in 1941.

Today museum’s exhibition reveals the legacy of a celebrated writer and shows his path not only as a writer but as a doctor and public figure as well. The collection also features some of the best-known paintings by famous artists like Isaac Levitan and Vasily Polenov, who were Chekhov’s friends. When it comes to fun and educational day trips from Moscow, Melikhovo is a nice place for learning more about Chekov’s life and work.

Getting There: You can reach Melikhovo by train from Kurskiy rail Terminal. Disembark in the town of Chekhov and hop on a minibus that will get to the estate. Alternatively, hop on a bus that departs from the Yuzhnaya metro station.

13. Day Trip to Gorki Leninskie from Moscow

Once the realm of Russian nobles, Gorki Leninskie was turned into Lenin’s museum some 25 years after his death. The estate sits some 30-minute bus ride from the Domodedovskaya metro station and houses Soviet-era memorabilia and Lenin’s memorial flat recently transferred from the Kremlin, as well as his vintage Rolls-Royce.

Most people only associate this place with the name of the first communist leader. In fact, the name of the estate was first mentioned in documents dating back to the 16th-century. Throughout its history, the estate was owned by a number of prominent figures. It’s in fact one of the best museums that holds the country’s finest collection 19th-century furnishings and a unique collection of domestic items owned by nobles. Plus, ancient Vyatichi native tribe or East Slavs who inhabited a part of the Oka basin’s burial mounds and a few notable sculptures are hidden behind the avenues of lime trees in the park.

Getting There: You could, of course, hop on a bus from Domodedovskaya metro station. But it would be much easier just to use UBER or Gett. The estate isn’t that far from the Moscow Circle Road but going there by bus may involve some navigating.

14. Day Trip to Kaluga from Moscow

If you’re looking for an educational day trip from Moscow, look no farther than Kaluga! This beautiful city could really entertain you for more than just a day, but to get a taste of science, be sure to visit the Tsiolkovsky State Museum of the History of Cosmonautics. Or in other words, the Space Museum.

Visitors to the museum will learn more about the history of space exploration. In fact, this is one of the largest Space Museums in Russia, which opened its doors in Kaluga in 1967. Here you can see a prototype of the iconic MIR space station and a duplicate of the Voskhod rocket. The very same rocket that took the first man to space. There’s also a planetarium, which from the outside resembles a spaceship.

Kaluga is a totally walkable city. Make sure to spend some time strolling Teatralnaya street with the authentic 19th-century pavement that now marks the Kilometer Zero. Then walk across the 18th-century Kamenniy Most (the Stone Bridge) that somewhat resembles a Roman aqueduct. If you’re an architecture buff marvel at the Church of St. Cosmas and Damian.

It is assumed that the church was erected by one of the followers of Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli in 1794. The church resembles the Smolny Convent in St. Petersburg. With five church towers directed upward and six tiers of oblong windows give the exterior a sense of lightness and airiness.

Getting There: Trains from Kiyevsky Rail Terminal to Kaluga leave every 90 minutes. The trip takes about 2 hours and 35 minutes.

15. Day Trip to Monino from Moscow

Are you looking for great family & kid-friendly day trips from Moscow? If so, consider visiting the Central Museum of the Air Forces at Monino. This unique military open-air museum is home to over 180 Russian aircraft and 100 aircraft engines and the perfect place to go when your crowd is looking for a break from hectic city life. Check this tour if you don’t feel like planning.

This site was formerly an operational airbase from 1932 till 1956 and many of the Russian aviation Design bureaus have made a contribution to the operation and maintenance of the museum. Along with aircraft from the Second World War, there are the TU-95 Bear four-engine turboprop-powered strategic bomber and the TU-144 Charger a Soviet supersonic passenger airliner (which resembled the Concorde). The museum also has exhibits related to military aviation history such as the uniform of captured U2 pilot Gary Powers.

Getting There: This museum is located at Monino Town, about 30 km from Moscow. It is open on all days from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, except Mondays and Tuesdays. To get there take a train departing from Yaroslavskiy Rail Terminal and disembark at Monino station. Alternatively, hop on a bus from Schelkovskaya or Partizanskaya metro station.

Final Thoughts on the Best Day Trips from Moscow

I hope this post has helped you discover some amazing day trips from Moscow. From imposing cathedrals, mighty fortresses and monasteries, there are a lot of incredible places to visit the Russian capital, and the best part is that getting there is always ways to get around on the cheap.

Moscow Travel Guide: Best Things to Do + More [2023]

· everything to know about visiting moscow, including the best things to do and how to get around. ·.

Moscow is Russia’s vibrant capital city, and it also happens to be the largest city in all of Europe. The city’s long and infamous history makes it one of the most unique places we have ever visited.

The architecture ranges from centuries-old palaces to uniform, gray concrete buildings. The people range from cold and private to warm and welcoming. Moscow is a city is strong juxtapositions, and we learned a lot during our time there.

This post will break down all you need to know about visiting Moscow, including the best things to do, how to get there, how to get around, and more.

The Best Things to Do in Moscow

1. explore the red square.

The Red Square is the heart of Moscow. Most of the city’s top attractions can be found here, including just about everything on this list. The Kremlin, St. Basil’s Cathedral, and Lenin’s Mausoleum are all located here, and the State Historical Museum and GUM are not far from here, either.

The Red Square is a common home for parades, protests, and seasonal celebrations. There are massive Christmas celebrations here, with food vendors and carnival rides set up in numbers.

2. Check Out the Ziferblat

The Ziferblat is a café in Moscow that is unlike any café we have ever been to. While most cafes charge you for your drinks and food, the Ziferblat charges you for your time.

Upon arrival, you are given a clock. When you leave, the barista calculates how much time you spent in the café and charges you accordingly. This concept was created to help visitors to be more intentional with their time, and the cafe itself is incredibly charming.

For a detailed look at everything you need to know before you visit, make sure you read my post about visiting the Ziferblat Cafe in Moscow .

3. Marvel at St. Basil’s Cathedral

St. Basil’s Cathedral is one of the most iconic churches in the world, and it was the single thing we were most excited to see while in Moscow. Built almost 500 years ago, St. Basil’s Cathedral is recognized by its colorful domes and whimsical style. The church is of the Russian Orthodox faith, and the inside is just as wondrous as the outside.

St. Basil’s Cathedral is located on the edge of the Red Square, making it incredibly convenient to visit. Entrance for non-worshippers costs 800 rubles, and tickets can be bought at the church

4. Explore the Kremlin

The Kremlin is the largest active fortress in Europe, and it is the site of most of Russia’s government affairs. In addition to government buildings, the Kremlin Complex is filled with courtyards, towers, and museums that are open to the public. If you have the time, you could spend a couple of days fully exploring all that there is to see in the Kremlin.

5. Walk Through Lenin’s Mausoleum

Vladimir Lenin is one of the most important figures in Russian history, and his body is located perfectly embalmed in a mausoleum in the Red Square. The Mausoleum is open to the public to visit, and as long as you are willing to go through a few security checks, it is easily one of the best things to do in Moscow. Its convenient location in the Red Square makes it a can’t miss attraction.

There is absolutely no photography allowed inside the Mausoleum. Do not test this rule.

6. Wander Along Arbat Street

The Arbat is a very popular street in Moscow that is lined with stores, cafes, and other touristy attractions. It is one of the oldest streets in the city, dating back to the 1400s. This street is both quaint and trendy, and there are many walking tours that introduce tourists to the neighborhood’s wonders and highlights.

7. Catch a Show at the Bolshoi Theatre

As a lover of the arts, it is hard to think of Moscow and not think of ballet. Russia has always been a top dog in the world of fine arts, and Bolshoi Theater is one of the best places to catch a performance. We were lucky enough to attend an Opera here, and it is a venue that you don’t want to miss out on if you enjoy opera, ballet, or orchestral performances.

8. Visit the State Historical Museum

The State Historical Museum is one of the most respected museums in Moscow. Despite its name, it is not really focused on the history of Russia as a nation. Rather, it contains a collection of artifacts from all throughout Russia’s history.

The museum’s collection is very broad in nature. It houses some items from indigenous tribes that used to occupy the region, pieces collected by the Romanov family, and more.

9. Wander Around GUM

GUM is an absolutely massive mall within walking distance of the Red Square. It isn’t just the size that draws visitors here; it’s the sense of luxury. The mall is so beautiful inside, much like the metro stations.

While visiting a mall might not sound like it belongs on a bucket list, this mall does. You will not want to miss out on visiting GUM while in Moscow.

10. Admire the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour

While St. Basil’s Cathedral is the most iconic church in Moscow, it isn’t the only one. The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour is absolutely stunning, with massive golden domes. It is the tallest Orthodox church in the world, and it is the seat of the Orthodox Patriarch of Moscow.

It is located just about a mile from the Red Square, just south of the Kremlin Complex. You can walk to it from the Red Square in about 20 minutes.

How to Get to Moscow

Flying to moscow.

Moscow has three major international airports: Sheremetyevo (SVO) , Domodedovo (DMO) , and Vnukovo (VKO) . All three of them are directly connected to downtown Moscow by the Aeroexpress trains, which leave every 30 minutes throughout the day. By Aeroexpress train, you can expect to get to the city center in 25-45 minutes depending on the airport that you fly into.

Sheremetyevo is the biggest and busiest of the three airports, and it is the one you are most likely to fly into – especially if you are coming from outside of Europe or the Caucus region. We flew into Sheremetyevo on a direct flight from New York City.

I usually provide backup airport options, because flying right into the city isn’t always the cheapest way to get where you’re going. Unfortunately, when it comes to Moscow, don’t really have a choice other than to fly right into Moscow. It is a very remote city, and it is usually the cheapest place to fly into in Russia as a whole.

Since Sheremetyevo is so busy, you will probably find a great flight option anyway. I wrote in  my post about finding cheap flights  that using hub airports will lead to more affordable airfare, and the same logic applies here. Even though Russia’s national airline, Aeroflot, is no longer a member of the SkyTeam Alliance, Moscow is still a major hub connecting passengers from all over the world.

Train or Bus to Moscow

Trains and buses are one of the most popular ways to get around Europe. However, they’re of very little use when you’re trying to get to Moscow.

Moscow is hundreds of miles from the nearest major cities. The only major European city that can even be reached within 8 hours on the ground is St. Petersburg, and even the Baltic capitals of Riga, Vilnius, and Tallinn are over 12 hours away.

If you want to get to Moscow, the best option is almost always to fly. While the train routes to Moscow are scenic, they simply take forever.

How to Get Around Moscow

METRO | TROLLEYS | TRAMS | BUSES

Moscow has one of the most memorable metro systems in the world. Its metro lines are very deep underground, and the stations are absolutely stunning. Each station has its own unique style, but all of them contain escalators that seem to go on forever.

The system was built in an effort to showcase the power of the Soviet Union and its bright future. The plans were a form of propaganda, but they resulted in what is still one of the most visually appealing subway systems on earth.

Moscow’s metro system isn’t just pretty. It is also very useful and accessible. The system has 17 lines that connect the city and its surrounding area.

But wait; there’s more!

The Moscow metro system is also incredibly affordable, with each ride costing less than a dollar. The metro is by far the best way to get around Moscow, as it is almost impossible to beat the connection times and the low cost to ride.

Tickets can be bought at electronic, English-speaking kiosks in stations, or directly from ticket counters at certain larger stations. There are also day passes available, which are a very solid option if you plan on riding the metro several times per day.

The metro is by far the best way to get around Moscow.

In addition to the metro system, Moscow also has a network of buses, trams, and trolleys. This system is nowhere near as convenient or well-connected as the metro, though, and is likely of little use to you during your trip. There is no Uber in Moscow, but a similar app named Yandex is available if you need a ride in a pinch.

How Many Days Do You Need in Moscow?

Moscow is the biggest city in all of Europe, and it is absolutely loaded with things to do. You could spend weeks in Moscow and still find new things to do. Of course, most travelers don’t have that kind of time to spend in one place!

I recommend spending no less than three full days in Moscow, and ideally closer to five or seven.

Moscow is very spread out, and it can take some time to get from one major point to another. There are also so many places that are nice to just sit back and relax, which is hard to do when you’re in a hurry trying to cram activities into just a few days.

If you only have a week to visit Russia, I’d advise spending all of the time in one city. If you decide to split your time between Moscow and St. Petersburg, I recommend not trying to squeeze in any day trips beyond those two cities.

When Is the Best Time of the Year to Visit Moscow?

There are two different ways to approach this question. Personally, I think the best time to visit Moscow is around Christmas and New Year’s Day. While the weather will be absolutely freezing, Moscow is a surreal winter wonderland in December and January.

We were in Moscow right before Christmas. While it was very cold, you can always bundle up. Exploring the Christmas markets and pop-up ice skating rinks throughout Moscow is one of my favorite memories from anywhere I’ve traveled, and I dream of going back to do it again.

If you aren’t fond of the cold, Moscow is beautiful in the summer. It tends to get pretty cold in the shoulder seasons, so if you want warm weather, you should plan to visit in the summer. Moscow actually gets pretty warm in July and August, and there are a bunch of fantastic places to soak up the sun within the city.

The best time to visit Moscow is either around Christmas or from late May to August.

Is Moscow Safe to Visit?

While Moscow is a truly wonderful city, there’s no denying that visiting Russia comes with risks. As the country is run by an infamous communist dictator, concerns about visiting are valid. While we didn’t experience any sort of threat or negative treatment during our time in Moscow, we visited in a peaceful time.

In our experience, Russia doesn’t seem to detain normal Americans or Westerners to use as pawns. As a regular person, as long as you don’t commit any crimes, there is a slim chance you will run into any issues. However, Russia will not hesitate to enforce its laws against foreigners, and illegal behaviors will likely land you in a very compromising position.

Russia will not hesitate to enforce its laws against foreigners, and illegal behaviors will likely land you in a very compromising position.

To make matters worse, Russia has a bad reputation for gang violence. While the Russian mafia has very little interest in normal Western tourists, they won’t hesitate to pick a fight with anyone who ventures into their sphere of influence. If you seek out illegal substances or activities, you could be a target of the mafia.

Finally, since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, things are all very different. Russia is currently at war, and there are battles raging within 8 hours of Moscow. While it is still relatively safe to visit, that could change at any time as the war with Ukraine continues.

Is Moscow Worth Visiting?

Without a doubt, Moscow is worth visiting. It is one of the most unique major cities we have ever visited, and we hope to make it back one day. The Russian Orthodox churches are stunning, the city’s history is unlike any other, and the food is to die for.

While many visitors prefer St. Petersburg to Moscow, I think Moscow deserves a lot of hype of its own. Moscow is the beating heart of Russian culture and history, and it’s a place I highly recommend checking out if you have the chance.

That’s all we have for you about Moscow! I hope this post was helpful as you plan your trip to Russia’s capital.
