• 10 Best Travel Detergents UK 2024 | Dr Beckmann, Dylon and More

After a few days in a hotel or on the road, you may start to miss the simple home comforts, such as a washing machine and detergent. If you've ever attempted to clean garments or remove stains by washing your clothes in a hotel sink, It's time to put down the shower gel and try a travel detergent instead.

Travel washes and detergents are formulated to work in low temperatures and can be used for handwashing clothes. These are small but mighty, highly concentrated products that can save you a lot of hassle and embarrassment. This article will guide you through some of the best travel washes in the UK on Amazon, Tesco and eBay, including zero-waste and eco-friendly swaps for when you're on the go! 

A recommendation service that carefully researches each product and consults with experts across many disciplines. We are constantly creating new content to provide the best shopping experience from choosing ‘cosmetics’ to ‘food and drink’, ‘home appliances’ to ‘kids and baby’ products, reaching users all across the United Kingdom.

What Is a Travel Wash and Why Should You Use One?

More travel essentials, how to choose a travel detergent in the uk - buying guide.

There is quite a big selection of travel washes available on the market today. When choosing a laundry detergent, there are several factors you should pay attention to, such as the form it comes in, which fabrics it's suitable for, eco-friendliness and whether rinsing is required. This section will walk you through the key points to consider while shopping online.

Travel Washes Come In Both Solid and Liquid Forms

Most travel washes come either in liquid form, like most regular detergents, or as a solid in the form of soap sheets. Which one you decide to choose is a matter of personal preference and how much washing you intend to do .

Liquid detergents tend to be a bit more powerful and are easier to apply directly onto soiled areas when soaking your laundry. You only need a little bit of liquid wash to create enough lather to help lift up the dirt from the fabric and dissolve it, which is why liquid detergents are typically more economical.

  Solid travel detergents will often come in the form of soluble sheets. These work best on lighter stains and soils . They'll usually need to first be dissolved in water, and then that soapy water can be used to clean your clothes. However, you may need to use more than one sheet to create sufficient lather. 

Decide Whether You Prefer Bio or Non-Bio Detergent

The main difference between bio and non-bio detergent is in the kind of stains they can tackle and how gentle they are on the skin. A bio laundry detergent contains special enzymes that can break down proteins and fats in stains like oil, blood, various foods and grass. In other words, they are very effective at removing difficult stains. 

These are best used in lower temperatures around 30°C - 40°C so that the enzymes do not get deactivated. The main downside of bio detergents is that they can be quite harsh on the skin if you are not wearing gloves.

  Non-bio detergents on the other hand, do not contain any enzymes and are great for those with sensitive skin. Although they may not be able to remove those super difficult stains, they are still great for keeping your clothes clean and fresh. 

Ensure That the Detergent Is Suitable for Delicate Fabrics

If you are a lover of silks and wools, you may want to make sure that the detergent you choose is safe for those fabrics. By choosing a suitable detergent, you can avoid damaging your favourite garments or dulling their colour.

  Although not all travel detergents will be suitable for delicate fabrics , those that are should state so on the label. A handy pro-tip to bear in mind when washing delicates by hand is to dissolve the detergent in non-hot water completely, before adding in clothes. Gently swish them about, then rinse them with cool water. Finally, gently squeeze out the water, instead of twisting the fabric. 

Some Detergents Do Not Require Rinsing

A relatively recent invention is rinse-free detergent . As the name suggests, these do not require the final step of rinsing after the washing is done. This way, you will be saving time and effort.

  As an additional benefit, rinse-free detergents mean there is less handling of the garment involved , resulting in less stress caused to the fibres. This is particularly useful if you are dealing with delicate fabrics, underwear or wools and silks.

  Simply wash your clothes as you normally would with a rinse-free detergent. Squeeze out the excess water (the detergent and the dirt will stay in the water) and hand it up to dry. You should only be left with a pleasant delicate fragrance (if the wash has one) that will dissipate over time. 

For Sensitive Skin, Choose a Fragrance-Free Detergent

There are many reasons why someone might prefer to choose a fragrance-free detergent . While some people are simply sensitive to fragrances and find them headache-inducing, others avoid them due to skin sensitivities.

  If you fall into either of those categories, a scent-free travel wash may be for you. Simply add the desired amount of the wash to your laundry, lather up, rinse and it should leave your clothes smelling fresh and neutral without any overpowering fragrances . 

Consider How Eco-Friendly the Detergent Is

When selecting a travel wash, particularly if you are going camping, consider how eco-friendly it is . Although these days, most manufacturers adhere to certain ecological standards and make their products safe for the environment, some will be more eco-friendly than others.

For example, if you are going camping and are planning on washing your clothes in a stream or river, you may want to consider what kind of impact this detergent will have on wildlife . Some detergents will be easier to dispose of than others in nature. However, if you are staying in a hotel and washing your clothes in a sink connected to a sewer, this may be less of an issue.

Perfect Travel Companion

This handy little travel wash is every traveller's dream as it is effective in both hot and cold water. The wash produces a gentle yet effective lather, that's kind to skin and is easy to rinse out. The formula is even effective at removing oily and stubborn stains,  without containing any bleach or harsh chemicals that could potentially damage your garments. 

The 100 ml packaging is compact and one tube can easily last you for twenty washes . Last but not least, the wash leaves behind a pleasant fragrance for freshly scented clothes. 

Sea To Summit Trek & Travel Pocket Laundry Wash ｜ 50 sheets

Ultra-Light and Compact Detergent

Compact, lightweight and spillage-free this is a genius solution if you are aiming to travel light . That's because this detergent comes in the form of ultra-thin sheets. Each pack contains 50 sheets and generally, one or two is enough to create a good amount of lather. 

As an additional bonus, the wash is good at removing stains and is easy to rinse out. It won't necessarily remove tough stains as it doesn't contain any bleach. That said, it's ideal for light soiling and is not harmful to the environment when disposed of in nature. 

The Kind Wash Natural Indian Soap Nuts ｜ 1 kg

A Natural Solution to Dirt

Soap nuts have gained popularity in recent years as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional detergent . Native to India, the shells of dried soap nuts contain saponine which is released when soaked in water. Simply add 4 or 5 shells to cold or warm water, and voilá! You have soapy water similar to what you would get using normal detergent. 

The foam from soap nuts is gentle on the skin, does not damage clothing, and is zero-waste . Plus, the shells are biodegradable and can be thrown away without any problems. The lather can smell a little bit vinegary, but this usually vanishes upon drying. 

Soak Wash Travel Size ｜ 90 ml

Rinse-Free, Hassle-Free Detergent

The name Soak speaks for itself. Simply leave your clothes to soak in the sink or in a bucket, give it a stir and enjoy fresh laundry without rinsing . This travel wash is ideal for light soiling and saves you on time, water and energy. 

This is a compact yet powerful product that should last for at least 18 washes  as you only need a teaspoon per 5 litres of water. The wash is also biodegradable, making it ideal for camping, and although it's not fragrance-free, the scent is very mild, fresh and pleasant. 

Sea to Summit Wilderness Wash With Citronella ｜ 89 ml

A Truly Multipurpose Travel Wash

A unique and truly multipurpose wash, this product is not only suitable for doing your laundry on the go, but can also be used for washing the dishes and your body . Gentle and biodegradable, it's perfect for camping as this product does not contain any harsh chemicals and will not harm the environment. 

The main downside, is that it comes in a rather small bottle for a multi-purpose wash, so it won't last very long. Nevertheless, it has a refreshing citronella scent and, as a pleasant bonus, it also acts as an insect repellent . 

Lifeventure Fabric Wash ｜ 100 ml

A Simple, No-Frills Wash

This minimalist, concentrated fabric wash is perfect for maintaining your clothes on the go and is suitable for use at any temperature . It has a faint, delicate scent, making it ideal for those who do not like their clothes to smell of detergent. 

Although the wash is labelled as biodegradable, it is inadvisable to use it in rivers or dispose of it into lakes and streams as it still has the potential to harm aquatic life . But overall, it's pretty mild on the skin and does not cause irritation. 

Dr Beckmann Travel Wash ｜ 100 ml

Effective Stain Removal for Whites and Colours

Cheap and compact, this handy little travel wash is perfect for both colourful and white fabrics . It's effective for removing stains and can last a long time, due to its concentrated formula. It can even be applied directly onto stubborn stains for removing oil, blood and various other types of dirt. 

Even though it isn't non-bio detergent, try to avoid using this one on delicate fabrics such as silk and wool. It is, however, ideal for cotton and synthetics and is effective for use in all types of water. It can even be used with seawater , just make sure not to dispose of the lather back into the sea. 

Tru Earth Eco-Strips ｜ 32 Sheets

Saving Space and Saving the Planet

Hypoallergenic, chlorine-free and fragrance-free, these ultra-light yet heavy-duty washing strips are ideal for business trips, holidays and camping. Formulated specifically to clean even the dirtiest laundry , these detergent strips can remove anything from blood and sweat to smoke and wine. 

This wash is considered eco-friendly and can even be easily disposed of in rivers, seas and lakes . However, the main drawback of this product is the hefty price tag for 32 sheets. Thankfully, the price does reflect the high quality of this product. 

PMS Laundry Detergent Sheets ｜ 15 sheets

Water-Soluble Soap Sheets

Easy to use and hassle-free, this travel wash is ideal for those who wish to travel light . Simply dissolve one sheet in warm water to create a rich lather. This soap does not have any added fragrance and hence should leave the fabric smelling fresh and neutral. 

Just note that these soap sheets work best in warmer water , meaning that it can be difficult to achieve effective results if you are camping and only have access to cold water. We also wouldn't recommend using it on silks and wool. However, they are good at removing a wide variety of stains from sturdier fabrics. 

Stergene Travel Wash ｜ 100 ml

A cheap and effective travel wash.

Affordably priced and efficient, this travel wash is great for wool, silks and other delicate fabrics . Although this is a non-bio detergent, it's pretty good at removing fresh oily stains and can essentially provide "first-aid" for your clothes while you are on holiday. 

However, the formula isn't the most delicate on skin, so it's advisable to avoid using this detergent without household gloves . Because of this, you also shouldn't dispose of it in nature. Nevertheless, it's a long-lasting product that would be best suited for sink washing in hotels. 

A travel wash is a specialised concentrated detergent suitable for washing clothes in hotel sinks or simple buckets while you are away from home. They are generally designed to be effective at any temperature and come in small portable sizes of around 100ml. 

Because you are unlikely to have access to a washing machine while travelling, a travel detergent is a worthwhile purchase. Like with any regular detergent, travel washes act by lifting away the grime with the help of surfactants, as well as enzymes that break down stains, oil and dirt. Although, they tend to be more gentle on the skin , as you will generally be washing clothes by hand without gloves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Stains are divided up into four main categories:

• greasy stains (e.g. from cooking oil and cream)
• protein-based stains (e.g. from blood and milk)
• bleachable stains (e.g. fruit juice, coffee, red wine, tea, mildew, mould etc.)
• pigment stains (e.g. ink, felt-tip pens, watercolour, lipstick, grease, soil, makeup etc.)

In addition to these, there are also more complex stains, such as rust and so-called mixed stains, which are a combination of different stain types.

As a rule, laundry should always be sorted according to colour before washing – unless laundry additives like Dr. Beckmann Colour and Dirt Collectors are being incorporated. But how do you successfully remove discolorations from laundry? Only a Colour Run Remover can really help. Thanks to its unique ingredients, it restores the original colours of affected clothing garments by removing any unwanted dyes. Nevertheless, instructions for use must be observed closely to ensure successful removal of any discolorations!

Sometimes, it is not only your washing machine that smells unpleasant, but also your freshly washed clothes. Odours can build up inside the washing machine due to frequent washing at low temperatures. The moisture in the washing machine encourages micro-organisms to develop and these cannot be completely eliminated at low temperatures. By using Dr. Beckmann Washing Machine Hygiene Cleaner on a regular basis, however, your washing machine will remain hygienically clean and prevent unpleasant odours from forming – ensuring your laundry comes up consistently fresh.

Everyday odours such as sweat, fat, nicotine, urine often cling to clothing fibres – even after multiple washes. Due to the stubbornness of foul odours, they cannot always completely removed by standard laundry detergents. However, thanks to the Dr. Beckmann Odour Remover, bad odours no longer stand a chance! Its patented ingredients eliminate all unpleasant smells – reliably and effectively. Freshness depot capsules simultaneously ensure that new odours are quickly neutralised during wear.

7 bad habits to break with your washing machine – according to an expert

Avoid making these mistakes with your washing machine.

The trouble is, if you’re guilty of doing this, odds are you’re not getting the best performance from your washing machine . In fact, there are all kinds of bad habits we can develop which can take its toll on laundry day, impacting stain removal or even damaging the machine itself. Here are seven bad habits to steer clear of.

1. Overloading the drum

Whether you want to reduce your energy consumption , or you’re just short on time with a never-ending pile of dirty laundry, it’s very tempting to stuff as much as you can into your washing machine. After all, you want to get the most out of each load. But, if you do this, you’re likely exceeding the capacity of your machine which can lead to a number of problems.

First, your washing machine is unlikely to be able to spin with such a heavy load. It will likely stop mid-cycle and leave you with a sopping wet pile of laundry. As well as that, overloading your washing machine will also wear the internal components over time, so you’re not helping it last longer .

Aim to fill your washing machine drum about ¾ full for best use. Try to aim to leave a little space so there’s room for clothes to move and agitate as they tumble. This added space will help better distribute the detergent too, so it’s the best way to go for your clothes and your washing machine.

2. Using one type of detergent

While you might have a favourite laundry detergent, maybe because of its price, performance or scent, it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. There’s several types of detergent available for a reason; each one suits different circumstances and will provide a superior wash performance in these cases.

For instance, biological powder detergent generally provides the strongest stain removal because it contains enzymes and it can help brighten whites too, but it might cause reactions for sensitive skin. Non-bio detergent can be better for those who suffer from allergies, although this more often comes down to scent so opt for scent-free options. Colour detergent is designed specifically to stop bright clothes dulling.

While detergent for delicates, such as Ecover Delicates Laundry Liquid , will be less abrasive on fragile materials, without risk of damaging them. The main takeaway is you should have and use more than one type of detergent to take best care of your clothes.

3. Using the eco setting every time

I’m guilty of this one, but it’s a bad habit to be aware of. While the eco setting will save you money in terms of water and energy, at a trade-off for a longer cycle time, you shouldn’t be using it for every wash. The best treatment for your clothes will vary depending on the material type, and the eco setting isn’t always appropriate.

There are lots of settings on your washing machine for a reason; the length, phases and abrasiveness of each cycle is designed to best suit its intended material. For instance, a bedding cycle may be naturally hotter than eco to help remove sweat and stains. While the hand wash setting will reduce the wash time and spin speed to be less aggressive on delicate items.

Above all, follow the care label instructions for each item. If a standard wash cycle is recommended, the eco setting can be appropriate. But, if you’re dealing with heavily stained items, a hotter wash may be necessary.

Relying on the eco cycle can also result in a build-up of soap scum, grease and grime in your machine. If you regularly use it, run a service wash (60 degrees or higher) with an empty machine once a month to rinse it. This is good advice in general to keep your washing machine clean.

4. Failing to add a stain remover

While washing machines are useful for shifting stains, they don’t always have the power to remove all traces. We recommend using a proprietary stain remover, like Vanish Oxi Action Stain Remover, where necessary to give your machine a helping hand. These can either be applied to the stains beforehand or sometimes added via the detergent drawer. Although if you’re dealing with a specific tough stain, Dr. Beckmann offers a range of effective removers.

Even if you’re not using a stain remover, pre-soaking items for around 30 minutes with detergent before you wash can have an impact on stains too.

5. Forgetting to clean your washing machine

Most of us forget to clean our washing machines . It’s only when we spot mould or notice our clothes starting to smell that we finally take action. But, your washing machine should really be cleaned once every 3-6 months with a proprietary washing machine cleaner, such as Dr. Beckmann Service It Deep Clean Washing Machine Cleaner . Otherwise, mould, mildew and soap scum can build up within. You should also clean the detergent drawer, as well as drain the filter, regularly to keep it in full working order.

To prevent mould from forming so quickly in the future, don’t leave washing sitting in the drum for too long once finished. Remember to leave the door and detergent drawer open when not in use so it can vent as well.

Limescale can become a problem too, especially in hard water areas, so descale as often as necessary using a descaler, such as Calgon 4-1 Power Tabs .

6. Failing to remove loose change and pet hair

Loose change and small items can easily slip by in the pockets of what we put in the washing machine. Unfortunately, they can do damage to the drum as it rotates, as well as scratch against the glass door. You will hear if you’ve made this mistake by the rattling sound so stop the machine as soon as you can and remove the offending item. If you can’t find it, it may have worked its way into the filter below.

If it’s shedding season, don’t let excess pet hair find its way into your washing machine either. This can quickly collect and lead to drainage issues. Remove prior to washing with a brush, such as Fur Magic Reusable Pet Fur Remover .

7. Letting your washing machine vibrate

If your washing machine is shaking or vibrating harshly as it attempts to build up spin speed, thrashing against your floor in the process, you shouldn’t be ignoring this issue. Your washing machine is losing balance for one reason or another. It could be down to overloading, unlevel feet, remaining transit bolts on installation or washing a single heavy item (bulk up the load with towels if so). Find the reason your washing machine is vibrating and rectify it, otherwise your machine could damage itself and your floor in the process.

Best laundry detergents

Ecover Concentrated Bio Laundry Liquid Honeysuckle & Jasmine

Score: 91/100

Ecover’s bio laundry detergent uses plant-based ingredients and is sold in a 100% recycled plastic bottle, making it a more eco-friendly pick. It performed very effectively as a stain-remover in our tests, cleaning up 89% of stains from our polycotton clothes, although it struggled a little with tea stains. It left whites sparkling too, earning a big thumbs up from our panel.

Smol Non-Bio Capsules

Score: 90/100

These non-bio capsules require signing up for a postal subscription, but you can test them out for free with Smol's free trial offer (you just pay £1 postage), and our testers were sold on their laundry-cleaning power. They’re completely plastic-free and managed to remove over 80% of stains from our cotton wash. Like the Ecover detergent, they struggled with tea stains but otherwise did a stellar job.

Dr. Beckmann MAGIC LEAVES Laundry Detergent Sheets

Score: 74/100

From their compact size to their no-fuss design, these sheets are ideal for holidays or if you just want to quickly hand wash a couple of items in your sink. When using them in the washing machine, simply pop one sheet in the drum and leave it to dissolve during the wash. Our expert found the colour of our test swatch faded slightly after multiple washes, so they’re may not be the best pick when it comes to colour retention. But, if that's not a concern, it’s hard to beat the convenience and heavenly scent.

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

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

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

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

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

The Best Things to Do in Moscow

1. explore the red square.

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

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

2. Check Out the Ziferblat

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

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

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

3. Marvel at St. Basil’s Cathedral

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

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

4. Explore the Kremlin

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

5. Walk Through Lenin’s Mausoleum

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

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

6. Wander Along Arbat Street

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

7. Catch a Show at the Bolshoi Theatre

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

8. Visit the State Historical Museum

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

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

9. Wander Around GUM

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

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

10. Admire the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour

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

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

How to Get to Moscow

Flying to moscow.

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

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

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

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

READ OUR CHEAT SHEET

Train or Bus to Moscow

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

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

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

How to Get Around Moscow

METRO | TROLLEYS | TRAMS | BUSES

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

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

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

But wait; there’s more!

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

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

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

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

How Many Days Do You Need in Moscow?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Is Moscow Safe to Visit?

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

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

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

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

If you seek out illegal substances or activities, you could be a target of the mafia.

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

Is Moscow Worth Visiting?

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

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

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

Your 48-hour tour guide of Moscow this winter!

9 am – Visit the Red Square 

Christmas market on Red Square

The first thing that every tourist should do by default is visit the very heart of Moscow – it’s main and most beautiful (which ‘krasnaya’ actually meant in Old Russian) square! 

There are several ways to explore it:

• Take a selfie with Spasskaya Tower
• Have a warm drink at the Christmas market (which lasts until mid-January)
• Visit Lenin’s Mausoleum
• Shop in the gorgeous adjacent GUM department store
• Visit St. Basil’s Cathedral (and learn that it’s actually several churches under one roof).           

11 am – It’s Kremlin time! 

Inside the Moscow Kremlin

Entering the Kremlin is, actually, a bit of a quest, as it’s a presidential facility with no general access. You need to buy a ticket or, better still, book a guided tour. Inside the Kremlin’s walls, you will find ancient cathedrals, in which Russian tsars used to be crowned and buried, as well as explore the magnificent architecture of the Kremlin that reflects the rich history of the country. And, finally, you could also make a quick visit to the Moscow Kremlin Museums and admire artifacts from various Russian tsarist eras: carriages, thrones, crowns and the most incredible armory and jewelry. 

For more information, visit the official website of the Kremlin . It’s open from 10 am to 5 pm (and it’s closed on Thursdays) in winter.

2 pm – Watch the changing of the Guard

The honor guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

A very spectacular (and free) thing to do is watch how the honor guard does their ceremonial change at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Eternal Flame, situated in Alexander Garden, right next to the Kremlin wall. Every hour, from 8 am to 8 pm, the 1st Company of the Kremlin (Presidential) Regiment performs this rather old and beautiful tradition. But, be warned, it's often overcrowded. 

3 pm – Enjoy a green oasis just in the center

Florarium in Zaryadye

Just a few steps from the Red Square, you will find the fabulous Zaryadye park. Opened in 2017, it is designed by renowned American architect bureau ‘Diller Scofidio + Renfro’. You can walk among the very cozy botanical decorations and explore Russia’s climate zones, as each of them is represented in dedicated areas, complete with flora from those zones.

The floating bridge in Zaryadye Park

The park also has an underground museum, an “ice cave” and a 3D cinema, where you can take part in a virtual adventure – a flight over Moscow! However, the piece de resistance is a floating boomerang bridge over the Moskva River, one of the best places to take a selfie.

You can also grab a quick lunch or relax with a cup of coffee or tea in the park.

7 pm – Arrange a ballet night

The Bolshoi Theater

Of course, the most fancy way to finish your day in Moscow would be to go to the ballet at the Bolshoi Theater (in a perfect world, to see ‘The Nutcracker’!). However, getting tickets to the Bolshoi is not an easy task and should be done well in advance of your visit. 

But, don’t be upset if you don’t manage to get tickets to the Bolshoi. Moscow has dozens of other options to see a ballet (or opera). No less brilliant performances can be seen in the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Music Theater or in The State Kremlin Palace (by the way, this is another way to get a quick glimpse inside the Kremlin!).

10:30 pm – Have a late dinner in a fancy restaurant

Dr Zhivago restaurant

There are not so many other cities with such a big choice of restaurants in a range of tastes and styles. In 2021, the authoritative Michelin guide announced their pick of the best of Moscow’s restaurants. And here’s our guide to all the places with Russian cuisine for any budget. But, if you happen to be in the area of the Bolshoi or Nemirovich-Danchenko Theater, then ‘Dr. Zhivago’ would definitely be a nice option (and it’s open around the clock).

DAY 2 

9 am – grab a moscow coffee.

Winter festivities mood in Moscow

Moscow is definitely a coffee city! You can find coffee shops on every corner and they all offer a huge range of drinks. Try a ‘raf’ coffee, a sweet, creamy drink that was created in Russia, or dare to pick one of the very unusual offers, like cheese coffee or a Soviet candy style one (check out our coffee guide here ).

10 am – Take a river cruise

Winter boating along the Moskva River

Another exciting way to explore Moscow is to observe it from the water. Boats cruise along the Moskva River all year round. Most begin their route from the Hotel Ukraine, one of Stalin's ‘Seven Sister’ skyscrapers, and will bring you back to the same spot after passing the medieval Novodevichy Convent, Moscow State University and Luzhniki Stadium, the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour and giant monument to Peter the Great and many other sightseeings. 

It’s always at optimum temperature inside the boat, which also has huge panoramic windows. Select boats also offer a full dining experience, so it is also a nice place to have breakfast or lunch.

If you are not a water person, then discover other, unusual sides of Moscow – pick one of the activities we’ve prepared for you here ! 

1 pm – Visit ‘Russia’ Expo and taste a bunch of Russian regional cuisines

Russia Expo at VDNKh

Until April 2024, the Soviet-era VDNKh exhibition park is hosting the huge ‘Russia’ expo, with tons of activities and expositions devoted to Russia, its culture, science and nature. Check out our special guide on what to do there!  

An entire ‘House of Russian Cuisine’ has been opened at the expo. You will find 15 food stands with flagship dishes from Kamchatka, Siberia, Karelia and other regions of Russia. Imagine trying a range of cuisines and dishes in one place without even having to travel anywhere, be it Altai pelmeni, Tula kalach or Caucasian pies! A perfect place to grab some lunch.

House of Russian cuisines at VDNKh

The VDNKh exhibition park is a great place to visit, in general! Its pavilions are the perfect example of Stalinit Empire style architecture and you can almost feel as if you’ve traveled back in time! You will also find several interesting museums in the park – devoted to space exploration, Russian history and even a ‘Special Purpose Garage’, which showcases the various vehicles used by the country’s leaders. 

'Sun of Moscow' wheel

And, finally, you can ride Europe's tallest panoramic wheel – ‘Sun of Moscow’ – that will give you panoramic views of the city – from a height of 140 meters!

5 pm – Ice skate with view & mulled wine

Ice skating rink on Red Square (GUM department store on the background)

Ice skating is one of the most popular and affordable activities in Moscow. There are several great ice skating rinks in picturesque locations that are open all winter long. One of the biggest rinks in Europe is also at the aforementioned VDNKh or you can visit the one in Gorky Park, another very popular Moscow spot, or the small, but fancy rink – right on Red Square! 

All the parks offer ice skate rental, so the only things you need are warm clothes, a charged phone to record your memories and a good mood!  Moscow also gets dark at 4:30 pm in winter and hundreds of lights are switched on, turning the city into a giant fairy tale! 

A mulled wine with a view

And, if you are not a sports person, we’ve picked several other unusual activities that you could do in Moscow instead. For example, did you know that there is an entire district of dacha (countryside) houses, just 10 minutes from the center, surrounded by giant new highrises? How about taking a stroll there and feeling the early Soviet atmosphere?

8 pm – Warm up & laugh out loud

After all these outdoor activities, what could be better than a warm cozy bar with a hot drink and nice company? Moscow is a city full of entertainment for all tastes. So, if you know the Russian language or want to practice it, go to a theater or catch a stand-up comedy show. Moscow even has comedy shows in English, where you can hear both Russians speaking fluent English or foreigners (including Brits and Americans) who live in Russia speaking in broken or heavily-accented Russian (Check their show dates on the ‘ Moscow English Comedy ’ Telegram channel)!

11 pm – Finish by partying the night away!

Propaganda club in Moscow

Moscow never sleeps, as you might have heard. Which means there are plenty of bars and nightclubs where you can have a drink (or two or three; be sure to check out how Russians make Black Russian and White Russian cocktails) and chat with incredibly different people. Have fun and don’t miss your flight (or miss it and stay longer in the best city in the world!)!

That's it! See you soon in Moscow
