Let’s face it: protective carrying cases for the Nintendo Switch are a dime a dozen. A quick Google search will yield no shortage of options that largely work as intended; however, most cases on the market may not do well against drops and other blunt force trauma, even if they can protect your console from more superficial damage.

Then there’s the question of space. Most only offer enough room for your console and a couple of Joy-Con controllers, forcing you to relegate the case to another bag entirely. This level of inconvenience can make you rethink using a case for your Switch at all, which is why you might want to find an option that not only protects your beloved console but has enough room for your stowing daily essentials as well. C’mon, it’s 2022, and you’re better than owning an accessory that does just one thing.

  • The Verge staff talk about their favorite laptop bags

We tested a variety of Nintendo Switch cases and have chosen a handful that we think stand above the competition. We tested them against impacts and everyday wear, and in some cases, we even used them as our day bag. Our current favorite is the PowerA Protection Case with Kevlar — a case that offers excellent protection and storage — but we’ve also compiled premium options like WaterField’s CitySlicker Case, travel-friendly picks like Timbuk2’s Crossbody Sling, and a budget-conscious solution that’s well suited for anyone who wants to keep their device safe without spending a mint. We even have an honorable mention for the fashionista inside all of us.

A small note regarding compatibility

While size differences may not present a huge issue when choosing a Switch case, there is enough discrepancy between the standard Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite, and Switch OLED models that some cases may not have the necessary real estate for your console — let alone accessories or your everyday carry. That said, while the cases on our list vary in terms of the amount of storage they offer, they all have enough space to support all current Switch models.

BEST NINTENDO SWITCH CASES IN 2022

PowerA’s apt-titled Protection Case has ample room for accessories and physical cartridges.

1. PowerA Protection Case with Kevlar

The best nintendo switch cases of 2022.

Sometimes you just need a basic case that gets the job done, and the Kevlar Switch case from PowerA is exactly that. While it isn’t quite as bulletproof as the name might suggest, the rugged Switch case is surprisingly tough, particularly for the price.

The outside of the case features a single, rubberized carrying handle. Due to a lack of extra loops for a shoulder strap, however, PowerA’s durable offering is definitely more at home when secured inside another bag. Nonetheless, the hardened plastic exterior is surprisingly firm yet offers enough flex to help absorb impacts. The side of the case meant to hold your Switch even has some negative space buffering the case and your Switch, providing even further protection from drops and spills.

Inside, you’ll find a form-fitting compartment with divots for the triggers on both Joy-Cons. The case also features a foam insert for stowing the smaller Switch Lite, denying it any wiggle room, as well as two compartments with felted dividers that can holster up to 19 cartridges in total. There’s a zippered mesh pocket on the interior as well, which can help keep Joy-Cons and other accessories from jostling around during transit.

Tough and compact, the PowerA Kevlar case can handle just about anything you throw at it. While it may not have the built-in kickstand offered by some other models on our list, the hardened shell and impact buffer does a fantastic job of keeping your Switch protected without weighing a ton.

Not quite bulletproof but pretty darn tough. This protective case from PowerA is lightweight and durable with reinforced corners to protect from unexpected drops and impacts.

The felted cover on the Deluxe Travel Case secures your Switch in place and can prop it up, too.

2. Game Traveler Deluxe Travel Case

The best budget nintendo switch case.

If you’re looking for a Switch case that covers all the bases without costing a grip, Game Traveler’s Deluxe Travel Case is our preferred choice for keeping your console secure while in transit. The Game Traveler case looks and feels similar to PowerA’s aforementioned Switch case but is slightly slimmer due to the lack of buffer space on either side of the case. The Deluxe Travel Case is still compatible with all current models of the Nintendo Switch, however, and has plenty of padding on either side to keep your console safe.

It’s like a Russian doll... but for video games.

The soft, felted interior of the case has grooves built into both sides to keep the pressure off the Switch’s Joy-Con triggers while stowed, as well as a pair of recessed areas for storing the two cartridge cases that come packaged with the case. Each clamshell case holds up to four cartridges in total and comes with an even smaller case for SD cards. These areas grip the cases snugly when your Switch is stowed on top; however, the cartridge cases are likely to shake loose when traveling unless you also have a Switch inside to keep them in place.

The cartridge cases aren’t the only nicety, though. The case also has a felted flip cover on the insides that features a velcro tab, which does a nice job keeping your console in place and covers the Switch’s display when stowed. This built-in cover also doubles as a kickstand that can prop up your console if you intend to share your screen with a second player.

Finding an inexpensive Switch case is relatively simple, but finding one that doesn’t make too many compromises can be a bit more difficult. However, Game Traveler’s Deluxe Travel Case manages to check a surprising number of boxes without sacrificing much to keep its approachable price.

This tough and textured carrying case is compatible with all current models of the Nintendo Switch, and includes a pair of hardened cases for cartridges and microSD cards.

The CitySlicker Case is an almost perfect compromise between fashion and function.

3. WaterField CitySlicker Case

The best premium nintendo switch case.

If the “best smelling Switch case” was a category on this list, WaterField’s CitySlicker Case would be the winner, hands-down. The San Francisco-based accessory manufacturer makes a number of sleeves, bags, and carrying cases, all of which use a combination of ballistic nylon or waxed canvas with perfectly distressed leather that smells absolutely amazing.

Smells aside, the CitySlicker Case is a sling bag that’s built specifically to hold the Nintendo Switch, with an adjustable nylon strap and different size variations available depending on which model you have. The company even makes bags that account specifically for the additional space necessary for the Switch if you’ve put a shell case on your console.

The interior of the CitySlicker Case is lined with soft felt to prevent unwanted scratches and abrasions.

The CitySlicker Case is about as classy as you can get while toting around a handheld console. The supple cover is available with a number of leather finishes in addition to black and brown, and Waterfield supplies blue, white, and red-stained leather as well. Whether you opt for waxed canvas or nylon, however, both offer a modest amount of water resistance. This isn’t permission to toss your bag in the dunk tank, but you shouldn’t have to worry if you get caught in a sudden downpour.

Inside the case, you’ll find a pair of smaller pockets in addition to a larger felted area, which offers a snug fit for your Switch and a handful of accessories. If you need to tote some other essentials, the bag also has a zippered pocket on the side opposite the leather enclosure, which is perfect for stowing a slim wallet. The leather cover is held in place with a pair of remarkably strong magnetized buttons as well and flips up to reveal five slots that are designed to hold physical Switch games or SD cards.

The WaterField CitySlicker case costs a bit more than you might be willing to spend on a bag built specifically for the Nintendo Switch. But, if money is no object, you’ll have a difficult time finding a case with better quality in terms of build or materials.

Waterfield CitySlicker Case

Perhaps the classiest carrying case ever made for the Nintendo Switch, the City Slicker case by Waterfield is available with a variety of leather finishes. The body can be made of waxed canvas or ballistic nylon with a felted interior to prevent scratches.

The mesh pocket on the outside of the bag is used  to hold the battery pack in place.

4. Bionik Power Commuter Travel Bag

The best nintendo switch charging case.

There’s nothing worse than running out of power midway through a gaming session. While the USB-C port on the Nintendo Switch makes charging easy, finding a slim battery pack with the right capacity and output can be tough. Thankfully, the Bionik Power Commuter Travel Bag addresses both of these problems by combining a clamshell case with a slim, 10,000mAh battery pack that’s designed to charge your Switch as well as protect it.

The built-in Micro USB cable ensures you’re never without a charging cable when you need one.

In terms of design, the case features a pair of secure, zippered compartments. The first is for housing your console, while the other is reserved for games and other accessories. The latter compartment includes 18 smaller pockets for stowing physical cartridges, as well as a divider for the battery pack. A gap in the divider allows your Switch to receive power while stowed, providing access to enough juice to charge a dead Switch one and a half times over. The bag even has a zippered flap on the back, which allows you to attach the case to a backpack strap or another handle if you don’t feel inclined to use the included strap.

As for the battery pack, it’s stored on the outside of the bag within a mesh pocket. The USB-C cable that’s used for charging the battery and other devices is also built directly into the battery pack — which ensures you’re never without a charging cable when you need one — and there’s a built-in LED light that showcases the status of the charge. You can charge the battery via USB-C or Micro USB, too, and it has a USB-A port to top off other devices.

Backup power is practically a necessity while traveling, and with the Bionik Power Commuter Travel Bag, you get a sizeable battery pack that can charge other devices in addition to your Switch. The bag also does a great job of keeping all of your accessories secure, too, and can quickly attach to a backpack or a rolling suitcase for easy transport.

5. Timbuk2 Astro Gaming CS03 Crossbody Sling

The best nintendo switch travel case.

If you’re taking your Switch on the road, you’ll need more than just your console. Luckily, the Astro Gaming Crossbody Sling is a collaboration with Timbuk2 that doesn’t disappoint. The versatile nylon bag is covered with zippers, pockets, and buttons, which will delight anyone who is a fan of the “techwear” aesthetic. The all-black design with glossy highlights may not appeal to everyone, sure, but I personally like it (it’s called fashion, honey).

The Sling is really all about space, though. The bag’s arsenal of pockets is more than enough to hold your Nintendo Switch and a handful of accessories, not to mention your everyday carry. The bag features a total of three zippered pockets that are divided into smaller sections to keep things organized, as well as a bandolier of 14 pockets that can be used for stowing physical cartridges or SD cards. The slimmest pocket also lays flush against your body while wearing it, making it a good place to stash valuables.

What’s more, all of the interior pockets are felt-lined to prevent scratches and are secured with rubberized zippers to prevent leaks. This being the case, the Sling is easily the most waterproof of all of our case recommendations. I thoroughly rinsed the outside of the bag during testing and was surprised to find the inside of the bag to be bone dry. I wouldn’t try to float it downstream, but you can carry it with confidence through stormy weather.

One additional pocket on the outside uses a magnetic clasp that I found to be remarkably strong. In fact, even with the pocket full of some of the weightier things from my everyday carry, it refused to open without my permission.

The Crossbody Sling is just a well-built bag in general. The spacious and protective interior is great for keeping sensitive devices intact, as well as for toting any other essentials you might need throughout the day. While one of the more expensive options on our list, we feel that the higher price tag is justified given the bag’s versatility and durability.

This techwear-inspired crossbody bag from Timbuk2 and Astro has enough room for your Switch and anything else you need throughout the day. This weatherproof bag uses a magnetic clasp enclosure and has a padded interior to protect any sensitive devices.

6. Zadii Hard Carrying Case

The best all-in-one nintendo switch case.

Portability is quite possibly the best feature that the Nintendo Switch has going for it. It’s incredibly easy to pick up your console and go, but things get a little more complicated when you want to play them on the big screen. Thankfully, the Zadii Nintendo Switch Case has more than enough room to keep your Switch, dock, controllers, and other accessories exquisitely organized for when you plan to do some gaming at your friends’ place.

The hardware on Zadii’s travel case is robust and reinforced on the corners.

On the inside, the hard-shell travel case houses a firm PVC foam with cutouts that securely fit the Nintendo Switch, Switch OLED, or Switch Lite, along with a dock and whatever other accessories you need to take along. While the foam insert fits snugly in the case, you can also remove it if you want to use the case for carrying anything that isn’t a Nintendo Switch.

On the inside of the lid, you’ll find a felted flap that protects the contents of the case and features individual pockets for housing up to 21 physical cartridges. The lid also includes a large mesh pocket that’s big enough to stash a lengthy HDMI cable, a phone, a charger, or anything else that doesn’t reasonably fit in the main compartment. Lastly, the Zadii case comes packaged with an adjustable shoulder strap to supplement the rubberized handle.

Because the case is so inexpensive, it’s tough to find many glaring issues. The one caveat worth mentioning, however, is that the shoulder strap lacks any kind of padding and can be somewhat uncomfortable if you’re carrying a fully loaded case for an extended period of time. If that isn’t a massive issue for you, the Zadii Hard Carrying Case is an excellent choice for taking your gaming setup to an Airbnb, your friend’s house, or simply storing your Switch and all its accessories when they’re not being used.

7. PowerA Clutch Bag

Honorable mention.

The PowerA Clutch Bag projects an air of maturity. The design is meant to look like something you could hide in a lineup of bags from Coach or Louis Vuitton, complete with a brass zipper pull and lining that uses the Nintendo Switch logo to great effect.

This zipper pull is practically worth the price of admission alone.

Despite its luxe appearance, however, the chocolate-colored bag is comprised mostly of nylon, with imitation leather accents and brass hardware. Being one of the smaller bags on our list, the Clutch Bag offers enough space for a Nintendo Switch but little else. It does offer a single zippered pocket on the outside, though, along with holsters under the clasp for storing up to five physical cartridges. The bag also comes with a leatherette strap, so you can keep your hands free while keeping the clutch on your person.

On the closure front, a pair of strong magnetic buttons hold the top cover in place, while a single-buttoned strap on the main compartment keeps your Switch from falling out in the event the bag is held upside down. One other unique aspect of the clutch that helps it stand out from other cases on our list is its flattened base, which lets you place it upright instead of on its side.

While it may be a bit small to serve as an everyday bag, the PowerA Clutch Bag is a simple and cost-effective way to keep your Switch secure — one that also happens to look great.

The Clutch Bag from PowerA emulates the look and feel of a designer handbag. The brown nylon and leatherette case uses a magnetic clasp enclosure, and sandwiches your Switch between a pair of pads built into the bag.

The Nintendo Switch was designed as a portable and stay-at-home games console, allowing you to play on the big screen, or while you travel.

The Orzly Carry Case is a hard-shell travel case for Nintendo Switch, made from EVA material to protect it against falls and other damage.

Instead of unzipping your case and getting your Switch out, this easy-to-use protective case offers more convenience for longer play sessions.

Whether you're traveling with your Switch or staying at home, the Mumba Case offers the right level of protection. There isn't room for storing game cards or accessories, but if you prefer to add to your digital library of games, this may be a suitable option.

You can take the essentials with you, with room to store your Nintendo Switch with Joy-Cons attached. The soft fabric case feels nice, but it doesn't offer a hard shell for much protection.

If you're a collector and you're not too worried about extra storage, the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Aloha Edition Carrying Case is a no-brainer. It looks stylish and features a white with green leaf design on one side, and a green with white leaf design on the reverse.

Inside, there's a soft flap that covers the Nintendo Switch console, keeping the screen somewhat protected. You can place your Nintendo Switch in the carry case with the Joy-Cons attached, or use it for your Nintendo Lite console.

Q: Can You Play Nintendo Switch While Traveling?

Yes! The Nintendo Switch is designed for portability, allowing you to use it while traveling. If you're taking your Nintendo Switch on the go, you'll need to make sure it's protected with a travel case to protect it against damage.

Q: Does Nintendo Switch Need Wi-Fi?

Nintendo Switch consoles can be used without Wi-Fi. If you want to access the Nintendo Store, you'll need a Wi-Fi connection. However, if you want to play offline games on your Switch while travelling, you can do this without any wireless connection.

Q: Are Nintendo Switch Cases Repairable?

Most Nintendo Switch cases are durable enough that they won't break - they are designed for protection. However, if the zip on your Nintendo Switch travel case becomes loose or breaks off, it may be easy to replace it. If you do plan to repair your Nintendo Switch case, ensure it offers enough protection.

Best Nintendo Switch Travel Bags

W hile the Nintendo Switch is certainly an innovative hybrid console, it's not as easy to take it with you on your travels as the DS and 3DS consoles used to be. When you want to take your Switch with you on the go, you're going to need quite a bit of space, as well as some protection for your console , Joy-Con, and games.

Nintendo Switch travel bags have been made expressly for this purpose, but which one is going to be a fit for you? Whether you prioritize space, functionality, or just style, we've found the best Switch bags around, so you can take it with you wherever you travel to, and rest assured that your console is safe and sound.

tomtoc Palico EDC Monster Hunter Sling Bag

Hori nintendo switch adventure pack (pikachu edition), geekshare large capacity multifunctional nintendo switch messenger bag, controller gear animal crossing nintendo switch travel bag, hori nintendo switch adventure pack the legend of zelda: tears of the kingdom travel bag, geekshare frog nintendo switch portable travel bag.

A purrfect choice!

This sling bag from tomtoc is not only the perfect size for your Nintendo Switch, but is also designed to look like one of Monster Hunter's adorable Palicoes. The materials are soft (but still sturdy), the design is purrfect, and there's plenty of room inside.

  • Themed design but still subtle
  • Zipped front pocket
  • Roomy inside

Whether or not you're a fan of Monster Hunter , you can admit that this Switch travel bag from tomtoc is one of the cutest around. It's been designed to look just like a Palico — an adorable cat creature from the series — with ears even poking out from the top. It's not all just about looks, though. The travel bag is just as useful and functional as it is cute.

The central compartment is spacious and fit with separators, so you can easily store accessories like Joy-Con or smaller cartridge cases without them moving around and being loose inside. There's another zipped pocket at the back, too, so you can store even more of your Switch essentials.

Perfect for your Pokemon journey

For fans of Pokemon, this travel bag from HORI is perfect. It uses a striking yellow and black color scheme with Pikachu's tail emblazoned on the front pocket.

  • Two large main pockets
  • Striking design
  • Can be a tight fit when storing a Switch and accessories

This Pikachu-themed travel bag from HORI is perfect for Pokemon fans. The black and yellow color scheme is just as striking as one of Pikachu's Thunderbolt attacks, so you'll definitely be looking stylish as you wear it. The bag itself has two main compartments, with the biggest, of course, being where you'll store your Switch.

You can store additional accessories in the front pocket, though it might be a tight squeeze if you cram in too many. You're likely better off taking flat cartridge storage cases rather than an extra pair of Joy-Con or a pro controller in this, but if you're planning on just playing single-player, that shouldn't be a problem.

GeekShare Large Capacity Multifunctional Nintendo Switch Messenger Bag

Room for everything

GeekShare's travel bag is large enough to fit the OLED model of the Switch and is made from waterproof material to ensure your console and accessories are always protected. There's also a pocket dedicated specifically to Joy-Con to store them safely.

  • Backpack style means it's very spacious
  • Colorful design
  • Switch pocket is somewhat small and may not accommodate a Switch in a case

If you're traveling and don't want to leave your Animal Crossing: New Horizons island behind, you'll want this bag from Controller Gear. Though it's more accurate to call it a mini backpack, it's been designed with the Nintendo Switch in mind. Inside the main compartment, it has a dedicated pocket for your Switch, so you can secure it safely inside.

The large size means there's lots of room for anything else you might want to bring with you, whether that's extra Switch accessories or even your other travel essentials. Of course, one of the other main draws of this bag is the design — it's covered in Animal Crossing 's leaf motif and has Tom Nook's face emblazoned on the front.

It's dangerous to leave your Switch alone, store it in this!

HORI's officially licensed The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Switch travel bag is perfect for fans of the Zelda series. It has a sleek and stylish design, but it doesn't compromise on functionality either.

  • Two main compartments
  • Stylish design
  • More compact than spacious

Wherever your next adventure leads you, if you're a Zelda fan, you'll want to take this travel bag from HORI with you. The iconic Zonai imagery from Tears of the Kingdom is printed across the bag, with the decayed Master Sword taking center stage.

The bag itself has two main compartments, and you'll need to store your Switch in the larger one. The smaller pocket is perfect for any of those smaller extras you need to take with you, like your charger and game cases.

How could you say no to that face?

A frog-shaped bag. Need we say anymore? If you're still not sold, this Switch travel bag has plenty of room inside, as well as a Velcro pull-over to secure your console in place.

  • Absolutely adorable design
  • Spacious inside
  • Not very protective

While this bag isn't going to be winning any prizes for protectiveness or how sturdy it is, who could say no to that adorable froggy face? GeekShare's frog travel bag has a surprisingly large capacity for its focus on looking cute, with a big main compartment for you to keep your Switch in. It even fits the OLED model, too, and has a Velcro fasten to keep it secure.

It also has a zipped pocket in the back, so you can store anything that you want to keep extra safe. But really, if you're going to go for this one, we know it's because you couldn't resist how sweet it is.

How do you protect a Nintendo Switch while traveling?

You can protect your Switch while traveling by putting it in a protective case and storing it in a dedicated bag for your console. You can also install a screen protector to avoid scratches on the screen.

Is the Nintendo Switch good for traveling?

Yes! Bringing your Nintendo Switch is the perfect way to stave off boredom while traveling thanks to its handheld mode. You'll need to bring a charger for longer trips, though.

How do I travel with my Switch?

You can store your Switch in a Switch travel bag to keep it protected alongside your other accessories. If you're traveling by plane, you'll want to either use a large travel bag (so you can store other essentials in it) or store the Switch bag inside your main one. Make sure to keep it in your carry-on luggage.

A carrying case is arguably the most important accessory you can buy for the Nintendo Switch.

The best Switch cases protect your console from damage and also offer a variety of additional features such as accessory and game storage. After all, a screen protector won't help with every kind of accident. In 2022, the market for Nintendo Switch carrying cases is absolutely massive. There are literally thousands to choose from, and there are three different models of the Switch console at this point. So, yeah, picking a carrying case isn't the easiest decision. We've rounded up the best Nintendo Switch carrying cases, with options for Switch OLED, Switch Lite, and the regular Switch.

The Switch OLED is only slightly larger than the Nintendo Switch, so a lot of existing Switch cases will work just fine. However, form-fitting cases and grips will likely have compatibility issues. In the Nintendo Switch section of our list, we've marked which cases are ideal for both the Switch and Switch OLED.

Besides standard carrying cases, we've also included some of the best Switch grips for handheld mode. After picking out the best Nintendo Switch case for you, check out our guide to the best Nintendo Switch accessories to find more helpful products for your Switch.

Best Nintendo Switch (and OLED) cases

Orzly's hard-shell Nintendo Switch carrying case comes with a substantial mesh pouch that is big enough to store two pairs of additional Joy-Con and a charging cable (and maybe even an HDMI cable, if you're feeling fancy). It also has an eight-card insert to store games.

This officially licensed case from Hori has a compact design and a hard shell exterior to keep your console safe if dropped. It's compatible with both the Switch and Switch OLED and has an insert that can hold 10 game cartridges. If you're looking for a case with room for accessories, this isn't the one for you, but its official look (with the Switch logo on the front) may be appealing to some.

Officially licensed by Nintendo, the RDS Industries Nintendo Switch travel case is a great accessory. With recesses designed specifically to house the Switch with Joy-Con, you don't have to worry about your console moving around. The hard shell design protects the Switch from drops, and it also comes with a zippered mesh pocket to store small accessories, a pair of plastic cases with four slots that can hold one game cartridge each, and two microSD card cases. This Nintendo Switch case is available in plain black, Zelda-themed, and Mario Kart-themed.

A slim-fitting case that mimics the look of the system itself, this Tomtoc Nintendo Switch hard case is ideal for those looking for something that won't take up much room in their backpack and can act as a screen protector while the console is in storage. Despite being so small, it still has an insert with 10 slots to fit a game cartridge into. It's available in gray, black, pink, camouflage, and red.

Hori's officially licensed Alumi Nintendo Switch hard case has a slick metal exterior that protects your console from drops. It's minimalistic on the inside, with just a five-card insert to store games, so it's definitely more of a protective case. The real draw of Hori's Nintendo Switch case is the Nintendo-themed designs featuring Zelda, Mario, or Pikachu, each of which really pops.

PDP's Deluxe Travel Case comes in three styles: gray, Pikachu, and Poke Ball. It's ideal for those with larger libraries of games, as it holds a whopping 14 game cartridges. The hard-shell Nintendo Switch case also has a mesh pouch to store earbuds, cleaning cloths, and small cables as well as a strap to lock Joy-Con sliders into place. PDP's travel case is also officially licensed by both Nintendo and The Pokemon Company.

For ultimate safety when traveling with your full Switch setup, iVoler's Carrying Storage Case is a great pick. It has dedicated slots for the console, dock, cables, Joy-Cons with grip attached, and the Pro controller. It also has an insert that holds 18 game cartridges.

HyperX's ChargePlay Clutch doubles as a portable charging dock to give your Switch extra juice during your commutes. The grip case has a 6,000mAh extended battery that adds up to five hours of playtime. The ChargePlay bulks up the Switch to make it more comfortable to hold for extended sessions. Alternatively, you can separate the console stand from the Joy-Con stand to play in tabletop mode or simply charge your devices. The ChargePlay is one of the best Nintendo Switch grips you can buy.

If you find playing the Switch in handheld mode uncomfortable, grip cases can work wonders. JETech's Nintendo Switch grip case is budget-friendly while adding nice back grips that make playing for extended periods of time less stressful on your hands. It also lets you grip the console in a more natural way, especially if you have big hands. This Nintendo Switch case comes in four colors: black, green, blue, and plum.

There's also a version of this grip case for Switch OLED, but it only comes in a clear design.

Mumba's Nintendo Switch grip case has the added benefit of being dockable, so you don't have to remove it when playing in console mode. The clear back panel design lets you still see the Switch logo, while the grip itself is wonderfully ergonomic. Also, the case is scratch and shock-resistant.

Skull & Co.'s Nintendo Switch grip is easily one of the best around, as it comes with three interchangeable handles to help make it comfortable no matter who is playing. It also increases the size of the ZL/ZR triggers, which is great considering the default Joy-Con triggers are a tad small. This particular set also includes a Nintendo Switch case with 10 game card slots and a mesh pocket, but you need to remove the console from the grip to use it. .

Satisfye's ZenGrip Pro Switch grip is one of our favorites, and this particular model is compatible with both the Switch and Switch OLED. It comes with a stellar ergonomic grip that gives the Switch a more traditional controller handle feel. You can get the grip on its own, but we'd recommend opting for the bundle that comes with a specially designed carrying case that holds the console while it's attached to the grip. Inside the case you'll find an attached insert that holds 10 games.

If you're interested in high-end leather cases, Waterfield Designs' CitySlicker cases are wonderfully designed. The exterior flap is made of full-grain leather and is complemented by ballistic nylon or waxed canvas, depending on which color you pick. The interior of the case is incredibly soft, and it is designed to support the Switch OLED or Switch. This is the only case on this list that won't scream "I'm carrying a gaming console." It's certainly pricey, but its premium materials are built to last and look stylish.

Best Nintendo Switch Lite cases

Orzly switch lite accessories bundle.

Basically a starter kit for your Switch Lite, Orzly's accessory bundle is an incredible value. It comes with a Nintendo Switch Lite case that holds eight games and plenty of accessories, a grip for playing in handheld mode, and much more. You get two tempered glass screen protectors, a stylus (great for Super Mario Maker 2 ), a game cartridge case, earbuds, USB-C charging cable, and six thumb grips. If you recently bought a Switch Lite, this bundle is arguably the best you can get for your money. It comes in several colors, including blue, gray, pink, red, yellow, and black.

Tomtoc Slim Carry Case

Best for those looking for a sleek Nintendo Switch Lite case, Tomtoc's hard shell carry case offers military-grade protection without the bulk. That said, it still has an insert to hold up to eight game cartridges. It's available in more than a dozen colors.

ButterFox Slim Compact

ButterFox's Slim Compact Case is ergonomically designed to store the Switch and keep it in place without taking up much room at all. It's also loaded with a surprising amount of storage space, as it's capable of holding 19 games, two microSD cards, and small accessories in the zippered mesh pocket. The case also comes in a bunch of different colors, including gray, yellow, pink, and turquoise to match the four Switch Lite models.

ProCase Carrying Bag

ProCase's carrying pouch resembles a wallet, which makes it quite a bit different than most of the cases on this list. While it won't provide as much protection against drops, it does have an appealing look. The carrying pouch has five game card slots, too. It's available in black and yellow.

Nintendo Flip Cover

Nintendo's Flip Cover keeps both the front and back of the Switch safe much like Apple's Smart covers for iPads. Simply flip it over to play without detaching the case. The convenient design keeps the screen free of dust when not in use.

JETech Grip Cover

JETech also makes a great grip case for the Switch Lite. Crucially, it comes in clear, so you can still see the snazzy yellow, turquoise, coral, or gray finish on your console while using it. But if you'd prefer a splash of color, you can get it in black, gray, turquoise, coral, and other finishes.

Almost identical in design to Mumba's Switch grip, this Switch Lite grip case bolsters the ergonomics of your Switch Lite while retaining access to all of the essential ports and keeping the majority of the finish exposed but safe from scratches. The Mumba Switch Lite Grip comes in a variety of colors, including clear, black, and coral.

Satisfye Grip and Case bundle

Satisfye's Switch Lite grip mirrors the excellent design of the regular Switch grip, which makes it a no-brainer if you're looking to add some extra comfort to your Switch Lite. Its ergonomic design really does make a huge difference, especially for those with larger hands. This bundle comes with a hard-shell case that is large enough to fit the Switch Lite while attached to the grip. Alternatively, you can buy the grip by itself.

Hori DuraFlexi Protector

Hori's DuraFlexi Protector covers the entire Switch Lite with plastic to keep the console safe from scratches and dings. It easily snaps on and off, making it an ideal choice for those who may not want a case on at all times. It comes in clear as well as Animal Crossing and Pokemon designs.

Best Nintendo Switch cases

The quick list 1. Best overall 2. Best for journeys 3. Best premium 4. Best budget 5. Best for games FAQs

The best Nintendo Switch cases are an essential purchase for those who like to take their console out and about. The handheld nature of the system means that it can be exposed to the elements if you go without one, in addition to picking up the expected wear and tear if it's placed in a bag or rucksack with no protection. Keeping it nice and secure in a specialised case designed for portable travel will help you keep your system in good condition over the years.

As a result, having one of the best Nintendo Switch cases will give you lots more peace of mind should you want to game on the go. Although the Switch may feel like a reasonably sturdy console thanks to Nintendo's use of high quality materials, it actually won't withstand major drops quite as well as some the company's older hardware would - seriously, the Nintendo GameBoy is borderline indestructible in comparison.

So, if you’re looking for something to help your console survive an unlucky fall or just a neater way to pack it away with some of the best accessories for Nintendo Switch as you travel, we’ve rounded up the best Nintendo Switch cases available right now to make the purchasing process easier for you. We've taken a wide range of budgets and preferences into account with all our choices here in order to offer a good range of options.

The best Nintendo Switch case overall

Orzly carrying case for Switch

1. Orzly Essential Pack for Nintendo Switch

Reasons to buy, reasons to avoid.

The Orzly Essential Pack does exactly what it says on the tin and is absolutely everything you could want in a carry case. It’s spacious enough to hold the console and any extra accessories like a pair of spare Joy-Con for a few additional players or any wires and charging cables that you may need to take with you. In addition, it’s a very hard and durable case that should protect your console's screen from even a pretty substantial drop. You’ll also receive a glass screen protector and a snap case for the console in the package, which is a great bonus that helps prevent further damage. 

The internal lining of the case also holds up to eight game cartridges meaning that you won't be tied to just playing the cartridge currently in your console. The case also comes with a handful of plastic cartridge cases for any spare games you don’t want to leave loose in the netting. Generally, this carry case is ideal for a first-time buyer, costing a very affordable $30.38 / £20.99 / AU$43.54 and coming in a variety colors in case you have a particular preference. 

PowerA Messenger Bag

2. PowerA Everywhere Messenger Bag

The PowerA Everywhere Messenger Bag may look a little bulky for a Nintendo Switch Carry case but, if you’re often transporting your entire setup rather than just the console, it’s the perfect bag to suit your needs. 

In addition to the console and its docking station, this case also has space and support for a controller and a smaller pouch for Joy-Con, wires, or any other accessories that you may need. The detachable Neoprene pouch within this bag also fits the Nintendo Switch Lite, so there’s a great element of added versatility here.

For someone who travels a lot, the cross-body strap of this bag makes it easier to carry around and the durable strap on the top of the case ensures you have a little extra security in carrying when needed. 

If you like to have access to a handful of games at one time, the Everywhere Messenger can hold up to six cartridges in its detachable pouch, too. But with a bigger bag comes a slightly high price, putting the PowerA Everywhere Messenger on the more expensive end of the scale. It costs $25.75 / £20.89 / AU$36.39.

The best premium Nintendo Switch case

Hori Nintendo Switch cases

3. Hori Split Pad Pro Case

Younik Nintendo Switch carrying case

5. Younik Hard Travel Carrying Case

The Younik Hard Travel Carrying Case is essential for any gamer who doesn’t plan on taking their Switch everywhere but needs a little extra protection for anything from a long journey to a weekend away. 

This is very simple but incredibly spacious design, with a hard shell to take some of the blow from large drops, 19 in-built game cartridge sleeves, and a mesh pouch for any accessories you might want to bring with you.

It’s a decent case for a decent price, and even though it’s not sizable enough to transport your entire setup, it suits anyone who likes to take their console out and about every now and then. 

Does the Nintendo Switch come with a case?

When buying a Nintendo Switch console, all accessories such as a case or screen protector are sold separately. You may, however, be able to find a good deal or potentially a bundle that includes both the console and a case if you want to keep costs down.

Why do I need a case for my Nintendo Switch?

Needing to get a case for your Nintendo Switch depends on whether or not you move out and about in your day-to-day life. If you’re constantly on the go and have your Switch in hand, having a carry case could be a necessary way to protect it from any potential damage. 

Does a standard Nintendo Switch case fit a Nintendo Switch OLED?

The Nintendo Switch OLED screen is slightly larger than the standard Switch console so there isn’t a tremendous amount of difference between them. Still, the size difference does mean the OLED might not fit in a case designed for the standard Nintendo Switch. It's always best to check the product description of your chosen case or the manufacturer's website, as most will specify whether or not it will fit the OLED too.

In Transit: Notes from the Underground

Jun 06 2018.

Spend some time in one of Moscow’s finest museums.

Subterranean commuting might not be anyone’s idea of a good time, but even in a city packing the war-games treasures and priceless bejeweled eggs of the Kremlin Armoury and the colossal Soviet pavilions of the VDNKh , the Metro holds up as one of Moscow’s finest museums. Just avoid rush hour.

The Metro is stunning and provides an unrivaled insight into the city’s psyche, past and present, but it also happens to be the best way to get around. Moscow has Uber, and the Russian version called Yandex Taxi , but also some nasty traffic. Metro trains come around every 90 seconds or so, at a more than 99 percent on-time rate. It’s also reasonably priced, with a single ride at 55 cents (and cheaper in bulk). From history to tickets to rules — official and not — here’s what you need to know to get started.

A Brief Introduction Buying Tickets Know Before You Go (Down) Rules An Easy Tour

A Brief Introduction

Moscow’s Metro was a long time coming. Plans for rapid transit to relieve the city’s beleaguered tram system date back to the Imperial era, but a couple of wars and a revolution held up its development. Stalin revived it as part of his grand plan to modernize the Soviet Union in the 1920s and 30s. The first lines and tunnels were constructed with help from engineers from the London Underground, although Stalin’s secret police decided that they had learned too much about Moscow’s layout and had them arrested on espionage charges and deported.

The beauty of its stations (if not its trains) is well-documented, and certainly no accident. In its illustrious first phases and particularly after the Second World War, the greatest architects of Soviet era were recruited to create gleaming temples celebrating the Revolution, the USSR, and the war triumph. No two stations are exactly alike, and each of the classic showpieces has a theme. There are world-famous shrines to Futurist architecture, a celebration of electricity, tributes to individuals and regions of the former Soviet Union. Each marble slab, mosaic tile, or light fixture was placed with intent, all in service to a station’s aesthetic; each element, f rom the smallest brass ear of corn to a large blood-spattered sword on a World War II mural, is an essential part of the whole.

The Metro is a monument to the Soviet propaganda project it was intended to be when it opened in 1935 with the slogan “Building a Palace for the People”. It brought the grand interiors of Imperial Russia to ordinary Muscovites, celebrated the Soviet Union’s past achievements while promising its citizens a bright Soviet future, and of course, it was a show-piece for the world to witness the might and sophistication of life in the Soviet Union.

It may be a museum, but it’s no relic. U p to nine million people use it daily, more than the London Underground and New York Subway combined. (Along with, at one time, about 20 stray dogs that learned to commute on the Metro.)

In its 80+ year history, the Metro has expanded in phases and fits and starts, in step with the fortunes of Moscow and Russia. Now, partly in preparation for the World Cup 2018, it’s also modernizing. New trains allow passengers to walk the entire length of the train without having to change carriages. The system is becoming more visitor-friendly. (There are helpful stickers on the floor marking out the best selfie spots .) But there’s a price to modernity: it’s phasing out one of its beloved institutions, the escalator attendants. Often they are middle-aged or elderly women—“ escalator grandmas ” in news accounts—who have held the post for decades, sitting in their tiny kiosks, scolding commuters for bad escalator etiquette or even bad posture, or telling jokes . They are slated to be replaced, when at all, by members of the escalator maintenance staff.

For all its achievements, the Metro lags behind Moscow’s above-ground growth, as Russia’s capital sprawls ever outwards, generating some of the world’s worst traffic jams . But since 2011, the Metro has been in the middle of an ambitious and long-overdue enlargement; 60 new stations are opening by 2020. If all goes to plan, the 2011-2020 period will have brought 125 miles of new tracks and over 100 new stations — a 40 percent increase — the fastest and largest expansion phase in any period in the Metro’s history.

Facts: 14 lines Opening hours: 5 a.m-1 a.m. Rush hour(s): 8-10 a.m, 4-8 p.m. Single ride: 55₽ (about 85 cents) Wi-Fi network-wide

Buying Tickets

  • Ticket machines have a button to switch to English.
  • You can buy specific numbers of rides: 1, 2, 5, 11, 20, or 60. Hold up fingers to show how many rides you want to buy.
  • There is also a 90-minute ticket , which gets you 1 trip on the metro plus an unlimited number of transfers on other transport (bus, tram, etc) within 90 minutes.
  • Or, you can buy day tickets with unlimited rides: one day (218₽/ US$4), three days (415₽/US$7) or seven days (830₽/US$15). Check the rates here to stay up-to-date.
  • If you’re going to be using the Metro regularly over a few days, it’s worth getting a Troika card , a contactless, refillable card you can use on all public transport. Using the Metro is cheaper with one of these: a single ride is 36₽, not 55₽. Buy them and refill them in the Metro stations, and they’re valid for 5 years, so you can keep it for next time. Or, if you have a lot of cash left on it when you leave, you can get it refunded at the Metro Service Centers at Ulitsa 1905 Goda, 25 or at Staraya Basmannaya 20, Building 1.
  • You can also buy silicone bracelets and keychains with built-in transport chips that you can use as a Troika card. (A Moscow Metro Fitbit!) So far, you can only get these at the Pushkinskaya metro station Live Helpdesk and souvenir shops in the Mayakovskaya and Trubnaya metro stations. The fare is the same as for the Troika card.
  • You can also use Apple Pay and Samsung Pay.

Rules, spoken and unspoken

No smoking, no drinking, no filming, no littering. Photography is allowed, although it used to be banned.

Stand to the right on the escalator. Break this rule and you risk the wrath of the legendary escalator attendants. (No shenanigans on the escalators in general.)

Get out of the way. Find an empty corner to hide in when you get off a train and need to stare at your phone. Watch out getting out of the train in general; when your train doors open, people tend to appear from nowhere or from behind ornate marble columns, walking full-speed.

Always offer your seat to elderly ladies (what are you, a monster?).

An Easy Tour

This is no Metro Marathon ( 199 stations in 20 hours ). It’s an easy tour, taking in most—though not all—of the notable stations, the bulk of it going clockwise along the Circle line, with a couple of short detours. These stations are within minutes of one another, and the whole tour should take about 1-2 hours.

Start at Mayakovskaya Metro station , at the corner of Tverskaya and Garden Ring,  Triumfalnaya Square, Moskva, Russia, 125047.

1. Mayakovskaya.  Named for Russian Futurist Movement poet Vladimir Mayakovsky and an attempt to bring to life the future he imagined in his poems. (The Futurist Movement, natch, was all about a rejecting the past and celebrating all things speed, industry, modern machines, youth, modernity.) The result: an Art Deco masterpiece that won the National Grand Prix for architecture at the New York World’s Fair in 1939. It’s all smooth, rounded shine and light, and gentle arches supported by columns of dark pink marble and stainless aircraft steel. Each of its 34 ceiling niches has a mosaic. During World War II, the station was used as an air-raid shelter and, at one point, a bunker for Stalin. He gave a subdued but rousing speech here in Nov. 6, 1941 as the Nazis bombed the city above.

Take the 3/Green line one station to:

2. Belorusskaya. Opened in 1952, named after the connected Belarussky Rail Terminal, which runs trains between Moscow and Belarus. This is a light marble affair with a white, cake-like ceiling, lined with Belorussian patterns and 12 Florentine ceiling mosaics depicting life in Belarussia when it was built.

Transfer onto the 1/Brown line. Then, one stop (clockwise) t o:

3. Novoslobodskaya.  This station was designed around the stained-glass panels, which were made in Latvia, because Alexey Dushkin, the Soviet starchitect who dreamed it up (and also designed Mayakovskaya station) couldn’t find the glass and craft locally. The stained glass is the same used for Riga’s Cathedral, and the panels feature plants, flowers, members of the Soviet intelligentsia (musician, artist, architect) and geometric shapes.

travel bag nintendo switch

Go two stops east on the 1/Circle line to:

4. Komsomolskaya. Named after the Komsomol, or the Young Communist League, this might just be peak Stalin Metro style. Underneath the hub for three regional railways, it was intended to be a grand gateway to Moscow and is today its busiest station. It has chandeliers; a yellow ceiling with Baroque embellishments; and in the main hall, a colossal red star overlaid on golden, shimmering tiles. Designer Alexey Shchusev designed it as an homage to the speech Stalin gave at Red Square on Nov. 7, 1941, in which he invoked Russia’s illustrious military leaders as a pep talk to Soviet soldiers through the first catastrophic year of the war.   The station’s eight large mosaics are of the leaders referenced in the speech, such as Alexander Nevsky, a 13th-century prince and military commander who bested German and Swedish invading armies.

One more stop clockwise to Kurskaya station,  and change onto the 3/Blue  line, and go one stop to:

5. Baumanskaya.   Opened in 1944. Named for the Bolshevik Revolutionary Nikolai Bauman , whose monument and namesake district are aboveground here. Though he seemed like a nasty piece of work (he apparently once publicly mocked a woman he had impregnated, who later hung herself), he became a Revolutionary martyr when he was killed in 1905 in a skirmish with a monarchist, who hit him on the head with part of a steel pipe. The station is in Art Deco style with atmospherically dim lighting, and a series of bronze sculptures of soldiers and homefront heroes during the War. At one end, there is a large mosaic portrait of Lenin.

travel bag nintendo switch

Stay on that train direction one more east to:

6. Elektrozavodskaya. As you may have guessed from the name, this station is the Metro’s tribute to all thing electrical, built in 1944 and named after a nearby lightbulb factory. It has marble bas-relief sculptures of important figures in electrical engineering, and others illustrating the Soviet Union’s war-time struggles at home. The ceiling’s recurring rows of circular lamps give the station’s main tunnel a comforting glow, and a pleasing visual effect.

travel bag nintendo switch

Double back two stops to Kurskaya station , and change back to the 1/Circle line. Sit tight for six stations to:

7. Kiyevskaya. This was the last station on the Circle line to be built, in 1954, completed under Nikita Khrushchev’ s guidance, as a tribute to his homeland, Ukraine. Its three large station halls feature images celebrating Ukraine’s contributions to the Soviet Union and Russo-Ukrainian unity, depicting musicians, textile-working, soldiers, farmers. (One hall has frescoes, one mosaics, and the third murals.) Shortly after it was completed, Khrushchev condemned the architectural excesses and unnecessary luxury of the Stalin era, which ushered in an epoch of more austere Metro stations. According to the legend at least, he timed the policy in part to ensure no Metro station built after could outshine Kiyevskaya.

travel bag nintendo switch

Change to the 3/Blue line and go one stop west.

8. Park Pobedy. This is the deepest station on the Metro, with one of the world’s longest escalators, at 413 feet. If you stand still, the escalator ride to the surface takes about three minutes .) Opened in 2003 at Victory Park, the station celebrates two of Russia’s great military victories. Each end has a mural by Georgian artist Zurab Tsereteli, who also designed the “ Good Defeats Evil ” statue at the UN headquarters in New York. One mural depicts the Russian generals’ victory over the French in 1812 and the other, the German surrender of 1945. The latter is particularly striking; equal parts dramatic, triumphant, and gruesome. To the side, Red Army soldiers trample Nazi flags, and if you look closely there’s some blood spatter among the detail. Still, the biggest impressions here are the marble shine of the chessboard floor pattern and the pleasingly geometric effect if you view from one end to the other.

travel bag nintendo switch

Keep going one more stop west to:

9. Slavyansky Bulvar.  One of the Metro’s youngest stations, it opened in 2008. With far higher ceilings than many other stations—which tend to have covered central tunnels on the platforms—it has an “open-air” feel (or as close to it as you can get, one hundred feet under). It’s an homage to French architect Hector Guimard, he of the Art Nouveau entrances for the Paris M é tro, and that’s precisely what this looks like: A Moscow homage to the Paris M é tro, with an additional forest theme. A Cyrillic twist on Guimard’s Metro-style lettering over the benches, furnished with t rees and branch motifs, including creeping vines as towering lamp-posts.

travel bag nintendo switch

Stay on the 3/Blue line and double back four stations to:

10. Arbatskaya. Its first iteration, Arbatskaya-Smolenskaya station, was damaged by German bombs in 1941. It was rebuilt in 1953, and designed to double as a bomb shelter in the event of nuclear war, although unusually for stations built in the post-war phase, this one doesn’t have a war theme. It may also be one of the system’s most elegant: Baroque, but toned down a little, with red marble floors and white ceilings with gilded bronze c handeliers.

travel bag nintendo switch

Jump back on the 3/Blue line  in the same direction and take it one more stop:

11. Ploshchad Revolyutsii (Revolution Square). Opened in 1938, and serving Red Square and the Kremlin . Its renowned central hall has marble columns flanked by 76 bronze statues of Soviet heroes: soldiers, students, farmers, athletes, writers, parents. Some of these statues’ appendages have a yellow sheen from decades of Moscow’s commuters rubbing them for good luck. Among the most popular for a superstitious walk-by rub: the snout of a frontier guard’s dog, a soldier’s gun (where the touch of millions of human hands have tapered the gun barrel into a fine, pointy blade), a baby’s foot, and a woman’s knee. (A brass rooster also sports the telltale gold sheen, though I am told that rubbing the rooster is thought to bring bad luck. )

Now take the escalator up, and get some fresh air.

City Street Guides by f.d. walker: A Street Photography Guide to Moscow, Russia

moscow-guide-cover

*A series of guides on shooting Street Photography in cities around the world. Find the best spots to shoot, things to capture, street walks, street tips, safety concerns, and more for cities around the world. I have personally researched, explored and shot Street Photography in every city that I create a guide for. So you can be ready to capture the streets as soon as you step outside with your camera!

At over 12 million people, Moscow is the largest city in Russia and second largest in Europe by population ( Istanbul is #1). An urban, cosmopolitan metropolis with more than enough glitz and glam to cater to the elite, but without losing its fair share of Soviet era roughness around the edges. It can be fast paced, brash, busy, and trendy like other big cities, but it has its blend of West meets Russia atmosphere and beauty that provides plenty of unique interest. The Red Square is as famous as it gets, but there’s so much more to this city, including the most beautiful subway system you’ve ever seen. It would take years to capture all of Moscow, but that means you have an endless amount of areas to discover.

travel bag nintendo switch

So here’s a Street Photography guide so you can be ready to capture all that Moscow has to offer before you even arrive!

  • Patriarch’s Pond
  • Old Arbat Street
  • Maroseyka Street
  • Tverskoy Boulevard

Top 5 Street Spots:

1. red square.

The Red Square is the most famous square in not just Russia, but all of Eastern Europe. The name actually doesn’t come from the color of the bricks or communism, but from the name in Russian, Krásnaya, once meaning “beautiful” before its meaning changed to “red.” This large plaza is what you see on the cover of guide books and magazines for Moscow, with St. Basil’s Cathedral being the center piece next to Lenin’s Mausoleum surrounded by the Kremlin Wall. Of course, the Red Square attracts hordes of tourist due to the main attractions, but all that activity around an interesting atmosphere does provide street photo opportunities. It’s also the central square connecting to the city’s major streets, providing a good starting point to explore outward.

travel bag nintendo switch

You’ll also find the popular pedestrian only Nikolskaya Street connecting the Red Square to Lubyanka Square. This line of expensive shops includes plenty of activity, while also leading you to another popular square. Filled with history rivaling any city, the Red Square and surrounding areas are the heart and soul of Russia.

travel bag nintendo switch

2. Patriarch’s Ponds

Patriarch’s Ponds is one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in Moscow. Despite the name being plural, there’s only one large pond, but it’s worth a visit with your camera. It’s a popular spot for locals and expats to come relax or take a stroll around the pond. You get an interesting mix of young and old too, from young love to “babushkas” feeding pigeons. It’s a very peaceful park atmosphere in one of the nicer areas within the city center, while bringing enough activity for street photography. 

travel bag nintendo switch

The pond is shallow and in the winter becomes a popular spot for ice-skating too. The area is also well-known for the location in the famous Russian novel, The Master and Margarita. 

3. Old Arbat (Stary Arbat)

Old Arbat is the most famous pedestrian street in Moscow, and dating back to the 15th century, also one of its oldest. Originally, it was an area of trade, but soon became the most prestigious residential area in Moscow. During the 18th century, Arbat started attracting the city’s scholars and artists, including Alexander Pushkin. Cafes lined the streets and impressive homes filled the neighborhood. Since then, New Arbat street was created as a highway in the area, while Old Arbat was paved for a 1km pedestrian only walkway.

travel bag nintendo switch

Due to the historic buildings, famous artists that lived here, and the bohemian atmosphere, Old Arbat has become a big attraction for tourists today. Now, there’s a mix of cafes, restaurants, souvenir shops, street performers, street merchants and other attractions for visitors, and some locals, to come enjoy. It can get really busy here and there’s usually something interesting going on so it’s a good street to come walk with your camera for guaranteed life.

4. Gorky Park

One of the most famous places in Moscow is Gorky Park. The official name is Maxim Gorky’s Central Park of Culture & Leisure, which gives you an idea of what goes on here. When built, it was the first of its kind in the Soviet Union. Divided into two parts, it stretches along Moscow River. One end contains fair rides, foods stands, tennis courts, a sports club, a lake for boat rides, and more. This end brings more active life due to its number of attractions, while the other end is more relaxed, where you’ll find gardens, trees, older buildings, and an outdoor amphitheater.

travel bag nintendo switch

Gorky Park attracts mostly locals so it’s a good spot to capture the non-tourist side of Moscow life. Muscovites come here to escape the city and unwind in a picturesque setting. The park remains alive outside of the warmer months too, especially when the lake turns into the city’s largest outdoor skating rink. I’d recommend taking the metro out here to spend at least half a day exploring the massive park’s life with your camera.

5. Maroseyka Street

Maroseyka Street is a popular area not too far from the Red Square. The long, winding street turns into Pokrovka and is lined with restaurants, cafes, bars and places to stay. It’s actually where I like to stay when I’m in Moscow due to its location and solid street photography opportunities itself. You have Kitay-gorod station near and if you keep walking southwest, you’ll get to the Red Square. But if you walk northwest, as it changes to Pokrovka, you can find a long street of activity for photography with its own interesting atmosphere.

travel bag nintendo switch

6. Tverskoy Boulevard

Tverskoy Boulevard is the oldest and longest boulevard in Moscow, beginning at the end of Nikitsky Boulevard, and finishing at Pushkin Square, a spot to come for activity itself. The boulevard is made up of two avenues, with pedestrian walkways in-between. You’ll find grass, shrubbery, trees, benches and more walking it’s almost kilometer length. Many people come here to enjoy some relaxation, walk their dog, or just to use it to walk wherever they’re going. Its center location also provides a nice place to walk with your camera near plenty of other spots you’ll want to check out anyway.

Sample Street Walk:

For a full day of Street Photography, covering some of the best spots, you can follow this sample street walk for Moscow:

  • Start your morning walking around the Red Square (1), while exploring the surrounding area, including Nikolskaya Street
  • Then walk northwest to Patriarch’s Ponds (2) and slowly walk the pond and surrounding area with your camera
  • Next, walk east to the Pushkin Monument and stroll down Tverskoy Boulevard (6)
  • Once Tverskoy Boulevard (6) ends, it will turn into Nikitsky Boulevard. Follow this down until you get to the start of Old Arbat Street (3), across from Arbatskaya station
  • After you’re done walking down Old Arbat Street (3) for more street photography, spend some time checking out Moscow’s beautiful metro stations
  • To finish off the day with more street photography, get off the metro near Red Square (1) again, Maroseyka Street (5) or wherever you’re staying for the night.

3 Things I’ll Remember about Shooting in Moscow:

1. museum metro.

The Moscow metro system was the first underground railway system in the Soviet Union and today includes 203 stations across 340km of routes. The elaborate system has some of the deepest stations in the world too, with escalators that seem to go on forever. None of this is what makes it so special, though. Many of its stations feel like stepping inside a museum, making it without a doubt the most interesting and beautiful metro system I’ve been in.

travel bag nintendo switch

When built, Stalin wanted to make the metro stations “palaces for the people” with marble, chandeliers, and grand architecture. The best part is the variety of architecture and styles used, making many of the stations a completely different experience visually. You could easily spend a whole day traveling the stations and there are even tours available for people who wish to do just that. My advice, though, would be just to buy a ticket and hop on and off at different stations, while exploring different lines. The museum-like surrounding mixed with the crowds of characters can make for a great photography experience.

travel bag nintendo switch

Since there are so many stations, here are some of my favorites to check out:

  • Novoslobodskaya
  • Mayakovskaya
  • Elektrozavodskaya
  • Komsomolskaya
  • Ploschad Revolyutsii
  • Dostoyevskaya
  • Prospekt Mira

2. Moscow is Big

It’s no secret that Moscow is a big city, but it can feel even bigger with how spread out much of it is. This is especially true if you compare it to cities outside of Asia. If I compared it to cities in Europe, I’d probably say only Istanbul would warrant more time to really discover the depths of this city. Most only explore around the Red Square and surrounding area, but that is such a small part of the city. Although, that central area does give you plenty to see on its own.

travel bag nintendo switch

Fortunately, I had a good friend living in the city to show me around, but it opened up my eyes even more to how much there is to discover in Moscow. It’s a big city with a variety of atmosphere that can take you from “east” to “west” and trendy to rugged depending on where you go. I’d imagine you’d have to live here a while to really know the city.

3. Cosmopolitan Mix of East meets West

Modern skyscrapers mixed with amazing architecture, a world-class metro system with museum-like beauty, trendy fashion and chic clubs, Moscow is a rich mix of Russian culture and history in a more western cosmopolitan package. There is a push to keep the Russian culture, while also pushing forward with a modern metropolis the whole world will envy. This comes with an impressive skyline, that continues to grow, and endless modernities, but with soviet nostalgia and atmosphere mixed in for good measure.

travel bag nintendo switch

Mixed in with this grand western cosmopolitan atmosphere, is a strong national pride in Russia. This includes their famous leader, Vladimir Putin. Maybe no other place will you see a country’s leader more often. All over, from the pricey tourist shops to the underground walkway stalls, you’ll find goods with Putin’s likeness covering them. From t-shirts to magnets to Matryoshka dolls. There’s a strong national pride that can be seen around the city, which also extends to their leader. Moscow is many things. It’s East meets West, modernizations meets Soviet era, and a whole lot more.

What To Do For a Street Photography Break?:

Eat at a stolovaya.

Stolovayas are Russian cafeterias that became popular in the Soviet days. You grab a tray and walk down the line of freshly prepared local dishes, and select whatever you want from the chefs. They’re usually inexpensive and a much better value than restaurants, while giving you the opportunity to try from a wide selection of everyday Russian food. They’re also very tasty. I always include some borsch on my tray and go from there. The places themselves are all over Moscow and usually come with Soviet-era aesthetics to complete the experience.

travel bag nintendo switch

Street Safety Score: 7

*As always, no place is completely safe! So when I talk about safety, I’m speaking in general comparison to other places. Always take precaution, be smart, observe your surroundings and trust your instincts anywhere you go!

Being the 2nd largest city in Europe with over 12 million people, you’re going to have your dangerous areas, but for the most part, it feels safe walking around. Russia is statistically higher in crime compared to most of Europe, but this generally doesn’t apply to tourists and visitors. Around the Red Square and surrounding city center, you should feel completely safe walking around. Pick pocketing can happen, but no more than other touristic places. I always explore Moscow freely without coming across too much to worry about. It’s a spread out city, though, so of course it matters where you are. Just use basic street smarts, know where you are and Moscow shouldn’t give you a problem.

People’s Reaction Score: 7

Moscow is fast paced, big city life, which usually means people aren’t too concerned with you, or your camera. I don’t find people notice or pay much attention to me when I’m out taking photos in Moscow. For the most part, people just go about their day. You shouldn’t get too many looks or concern. But it can depend on the area you are in. The more you stick out, the more you might get noticed with suspicions. I’ve never had any problems in Moscow, or Russia, but just be careful who you’re taking a photo of if you get out of the city center. Other than that, it’s about average for reactions.

Street Tips:

Learn the alphabet .

Much of Moscow, including the metro system, doesn’t use english. The Russian alphabet uses letters from the Cyrillic script, which if you aren’t familiar with it and don’t know the sounds, can be hard to decipher the words. This is most important for street names and metro stops when trying to get around. It can save confusion and make it easier getting around if you learn the basic alphabet. At the very least then, you can sound out the words to see which are similar in the english conversion, which can help matching them to maps. When out shooting street photography, getting around is as important as anything. So save yourself some time and frustration by learning the Russian Alphabet.

Use the metro

While Saint-Petersburg feels very walkable for a city its size, Moscow can feel very spread out, even for its bigger size. Outside of the Red Square area, you can have plenty of walking before getting anywhere very interesting, so you’ll need to take the metro a lot if you really want to explore the city. Maps are deceiving here too, it will always be further than it looks.

travel bag nintendo switch

Another reason it’s less walkable than Saint-Petersburg is its completely different set-up. Moscow’s streets are mostly contstructed in rings with narrow, winding streets in-between. This is common with medieval city cities that used to be confined by walls, but you usually don’t have it in a city this massive. Saint-Petersburg has a more grid-like pattern that also uses the canals to help you know your way around. When it comes to navigating on foot in Moscow, it can be more difficult, so bring a map and take the metro when needed. It’s why Moscow’s metro carries more passengers per day than the London and Paris subways combined.

Explore other areas if you have time

Moscow is really big. While most people stay around the Red Square within the Boulevard Ring, there’s so much more to the city. I covered some other spots outside of this circle, but if you really want to see the city, you’ll need time. If you do have time, some other areas I’d check out first are Zamoskvarechye, along some of the south and western Moscow.

Inspiration:

For some more inspiration, you can look through the Street Photography of Moscow photographer Artem Zhitenev  and check out 33 of my photos taken in Moscow .

Conclusion:

Moscow’s name brings a certain mystique, but once you’re there it might bring a different atmosphere than you expect. It’s big and sprawling, but beautiful in many ways. It can feel like a European capital on a grand scale, but you can definitely find its Russian side in there.

travel bag nintendo switch

The urban sprawl of Moscow can be intimidating, but give it enough time and you’ll be rewarded with plenty to discover. All with the world’s best metro system to take you around.

I hope this guide can help you start to experience some of what Moscow contains. So grab your camera and capture all that Moscow has to offer for Street Photography!

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.

places to visit near moscow by train

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.

golden ring russia

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.

cities close to moscow worth visiting

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.

train trips from moscow

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!

cheap day trips from moscow

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).

best places to travel from moscow

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.

things to do outside of moscow

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.
