Polaris RZR XP1000/Turbo Duner Long Travel Suspension Kit

HCR Suspension’s RZR XP 1000 Duner Long-Travel Suspension System

  ** CALL IN FOR CURRENT LEAD TIMES - 435-865-9280 **   Part # RZR-05600 Following the design of HCR’s proven Dual-Sport Kit, the re-designed Duner series has been created for the serious dune enthusiasts who wants the addition strength without the weight. This new proprietary design lightens the product without compromise. The alloy used to manufacture the Duner kit is 30% stronger in tensile and yield strength compared to 4130 Series chromoly. The material endures several processes and is hardened for better wear resistance and overall strength. Every external weld is an internal plate structured into the design. While the cost-effective approach is to run tube ends for ball joints , all HCR kits run a 4130 heat treated billet end allowing all internal and external plating to be attached to this billet eliminating a potential weak point. Billets are available in both ball joint and Uniball applications   Kit Features: HCR alloy used to build every kit is 30% stronger than 4130 Chromoly Every external weld is an internal plate structured into the design HCR kits run a 4130-heat treated billet end allowing all internal and external plating to be attached to this billet eliminating a potential weak point  Billets are available in both ball joint and spherical applications HCR Shock tower to reduce compound leverage and achieve a better motion ratio Addition wheelbase of +3 inches Additional width of +4 inches per side Ground Clearance increased by 1.25 inches in the arm design RCV 4340 Chromoly extended axle bars King 2.5 Series HCR Spec. shocks with a 2.5 piggyback up front and the 2.5 IBP in the back   IBP Front Upgrade  Intended for the Dune enthusiast, Racers, and those who like to push it that much harder. This upgrade extends the same internal bypass technology included in the rear shocks to all 4 corners. This patented needle-valve design allows for less bottoming and shock fatigue on square edges, G outs, long distance racing, jumping, etc. where the front end needs a little more.     HIGH CLEARANCE RADIUS RODS  The high links are recommended for the recreational trail rider or Rock crawler. These ALL NEW HCR Aluminum High Links are a great way to get clearance under the rear and avoid rocks while out on the trails. Additional cost to upgrade.

HCR Racing (About)

Who We Are HCR's proprietary billet slot and tab design and catacomb boxed arms are built to withstand the vigorous beatings of off-road riding while achieving the optimal combination of strength and appeal. Every external weld is an internal plate structured into the design. All parts are Fiber laser cut and CNC bent for precise fit and finish. An intensive process is used during each design to simulate and refine the new geometry to match the characteristics of the stock suspension while increasing suspension travel. Critical measurements are verified, such as ball joint angle, CV joint angle, and clearance to surrounding parts to ensure no binding or interference. All products are hand tig welded by seasoned craftsmen. The quality fit and finish, ease of installation, and top shelf performance of these kits are what sets HCR Racing apart from the competition. No kits are released to the public without numerous hours of vigorous testing in the rocks, desert, and dunes for true dual sport application. Materials HCR Racing introduced a new proprietary material with the release of the Elite series suspension system. This unique custom alloy, created for the Elite series, produces unmatched strength while adding minimal weight. The custom alloy used in HCR's manufacturing process is 30% stronger in tensile and yield strength compared to 4130 series Chromoly. This custom material goes through several processes and is hardened for better wear resistance and overall strength. With hese higher tensile and yield strengths, HCR is able to product innovative designs without compromising strength and integrity by holding to HCR traditional internal box and ribbing methods. Shocks Feel confident in the demanding terrain with King HCR Race Series Shocks tuned by Bret King himself. The shocks provided with an HCR Complete suspension system are custom built to work specifically with the geometry of each kit. These custom HCR Series shocks are longer eye to eye and stroke, custom valved and sprung to achieve optimum performance without compromising motion ratio and minimizing shock fatigue. This allows for less compound leverage on the arm preventing further bottoming and damage to components. The KING HCR Series are true off-road shocks with larger internals than a competing UTV shock; providing minimal added weight without compromising performance. Backed by KING, HCR provides a 3 month tuning opportunity to meet with a KING Technician for a live testing session if a different valving option is preferred. Most custom shocks will be available in HCR Edition black and Silver at no extra charge. Axles HCR recently Partnered with RCV performance through the release of the YXZ Long Travel Kit. HCR has been working closely with RCV to provide the strongest axle options on the market, boasting twice the strength of a Factory axles. RCV Custom HCR Axle bars will be included and heavy duty assemblies will be available as an upgrade. RCV's Revolutionary axle shaft design provides the strength, smoothness, and reliability you need to power through the most demanding off road conditions.These new axles are included in the XP1000 Long Travel kit, Teryx Long Travel kit, Maverick XDS long Travel kit and XP900 Long Travel kit as well.

HCR Racing Introduces The Ultimate RZR XP1000 Long Travel Kit

vendor.2014.hcr-racing.polaris-rzr-xp1000.long-travel.jpg

The engineers at HCR designed a boxed A-arm and rear trailing arm system built to withstand the beatings of rigorous off-road riding. CNC’d suspension mounting points and a bolt-on shock tower increase the strength and rigidity of the stock chassis.

A suspension system is nothing without a great damper, which is why HCR chose King 2.5” reservoir shocks. The kit comes with a unique black body/titanium anodized shock finish and silver painted springs to stand out in a sea of stock equipment. 

The track width has been increased by 4” on each side, with a 3” longer wheelbase and arched rear radius rods for increased ground clearance. Summers Brothers 4340 Racing axles come standard with the kit, which cycles an incredible 21”+ of wheel travel! The kit is made to work with aftermarket wheels, as the stock Polaris wheels will not clear the front arms.  If you are looking for the most comfortable, well-built, and highest performing suspension system out there, look no further than HCR Racing’s RZR XP1000 long travel kit.

HCR Racing’s second round of RZR XP1000 upgrades will come as an OEM replacement kit. Utilizing the stock shocks and OEM geometry, the RZR-05300 XP-1000 OEM Kit will bolt right up to the stock machine, giving you a much stronger suspension setup without breaking the bank. The $3,499 kit provides an added 1.25” of ground clearance from the upgraded arm design as well. 

Every HCR Racing Long Travel kit goes through extensive testing in real-world driving conditions. Using many of the trails and terrain made famous by the toughest North-American off-road races in history, each kit comes with finely tuned, proprietary shock settings that are specific to HCR. A company that prides itself on its fit and finish, HCR produces each kit in-house with meticulous attention to detail and decades of fabrication and racing experience. Simply put, there is no superior suspension kit for your UTV available anywhere in the world. 

HCR Racing’s RZR XP 1000 Long Travel Kit includes: 

• Custom-Tuned King 2.5” Internal Bypass shocks with finned remote reservoirs- standard with every kit

• King Shocks billet compression adjusters – 30% Adjustment Range

PROJECT MACHINE: HCR Racing KOH RZR XP 1000 LE

HCR Racing has worked with Dave Cole of Ultra4 King of the Hammers (KOH) fame to promote the KOH UTV race over the past seven years. The February 4th, 2016, KOH UTV race will have a new twist—a Class 4900, limited-edition spec car from HCR Racing, complete with KOH race entry fee, tech package and $10,000 in additional contingency purse money from HCR Racing. This turnkey King of the Hammers Limited Edition racer starts out as a Polaris RZR XP 1000 EPS and gets the HCR Racing long-travel suspension kit with boxed arms and King Racing Internal Bypass shocks, plus a complete upgrade for safety, strength, comfort and communications, all to take on the toughest UTV race in America.

KOHLE9_DSC_2318

WHAT’S NEW FOR KOH 2016? CNC-cut, boxed suspension arms extend the wheelbase 3 inches and increase width by 8 inches to supply over 21 inches of wheel travel with the HCR Racing LTS kit. King Racing IBP shocks with dual-rate springs supply the plush ride. The HCR complete LTS kit also includes frame gussets, a new front shock tower for proper geometry, FK 5/8-18 heims and chromoly construction, Summers Bros. +4-inch 4340 axle bars, spherical front spindle setup, and high-link or grade-9 race links. HCR Racing fender flares are steel DOM tubes with integrated rocker assemblies that increase strength, durability and roost protection. An SDRcustom, KOH race-legal, six-point cage with integral rear bumper also beefs up the OEM frame, and the roof is 1/8 inch aluminum. American Rock Rods H-D tie-rods have OEM-style inner joints, machined aluminum rods with a central hex for toe adjustments, and an aluminum QA1 heim with an 8600 pound radial/static load rating.

SDR full doors open but lock for race legality, and the PRP nets meet KOH rules. PRP Custom GT race seats have exclusive embroidery and race numbers, and PRP five-point harnesses are standard. The cab features a PCI 50-watt race package with Kenwood TK-7360 50-watt radio, co-axial, antenna, and radio and intercom brackets. The cab also sports an Axia billet rear-view mirror, a 2.5-pound fire extinguisher with billet mount, and metal seat bases that lower the seat height 1–1.5 inches. There’s also a Lowrance Elite 5m Baja HD GPS system with a custom XP1K Elite 5 GPS bracket. For tech, there’s a 9x9x4-inch first-aid kit, amber light, horn and reflectors, and the Warn Provantage 4500 winch has 55 feet of 7/32-inch rope with the fairlead protruding through an SDR bumper and skid plate. A Vision X 30-inch, low-profile LED light bar rides on top with integrated thermal protection and 5-watt LEDs producing 528 raw lumens each. A PURE Polaris 3/8-inch molded HMW skid plate arms the KOH LE undercarriage.

Method Race Wheels’ 401 fourteeninch beadlock wheels have 6061 aluminum beadlock rings, grade-8 zincplated mounting hardware and a 1600pound load rating. They come in matte black or a machined finish, and they clamp Tensor Regulator 30x10R14 tires with eight-ply construction. A fifth wheel rides vertically in the XP1K bed with a steel mount. The HCR Racing KOH LE has a custom wrap that’s numbered for KOH.

KOHLE7_DSC_2317

HOW DOES COST COMPARE? The standard RZR XP1K EPS is $20,299, while the Fox Edition is $22,999. The High Lifter Edition is $23,499, and the Desert Edition is $27,999. The HCR Racing KOH Limited Edition XP 1000 is $45,199, and the KOH race-ready platform kit is $24,900.

HOW FAST IS THE PROSTAR 1000? It’s as quick as the stock RZR XP 1000, and CVT clutching is revised for the 30-inch Tensor tires and extra weight of the KOH LE. The 110-horsepower ProStar engine is left stock for durability, and it’s plenty fast for the desert sections of the King of the Hammers. The HCR Racing LTS kit and IBP King shocks allow it to attain and maintain much higher speeds in deep desert whoops too.

The PURE Polaris HMW (high-molecular weight) 3/8-inch polyethylene skid plate has recessed mounting points for a low-drag coefficient and holes in all the right places for cleaning and maintenance. The Warn ProVantage 4500-pound winch with synthetic rope and SDR bumper/ skid plate are slick too.

WHAT ABOUT THE CVT/AWD DELIVERY? It’s also excellent, like stock. The 2015 CVT cover has a third duct for extra cooling capacity for the new CVT belt, and CVT engagement is smooth yet quick. Stronger Summers Bros. axles offset the stresses of the larger Regulator tires and extra suspension travel. The standard Polaris AWD system only engages the front differential when it senses the rear tires spinning, (so it doesn’t push like alltime 4WDs going into turns, but it only supplies rear-wheel braking on steep descents).

HOW AGILE IS THE KOH LE’S HANDLING? It’s not as agile as the Shock Therapy Fox Edition RZR XP1K featured in this issue. Long-travel suspension arms are 4 inches wider per side, so the KOH LE can maintain high cornering speeds without bicycling, but it doesn’t have the planted, connected feel of the Fox Edition’s two torsion-bar setup.

With more than 5 inches more front travel and 8 inches more width, the KOH LE XP1K has more articulation and Ultra-4-like travel for gnarly rock obstacles. Gull-wing boxed A-arms increase travel as well, and Summers Bros. axles beef up the drivetrain.

HOW ABOUT THE HIGH-END HCR SUSPENSION? It’s incredible. Total travel is in league with Trophy Trucks, and the boxed arms with internal honeycombing are super strong. King Racing IBP 2.0 front and 2.5 rear shocks have custom valving and spring rates dialed for the LTS kit, so the KOH LE gobbles desert terrain like no other UTV. More than 21 inches of travel allows the KOH LE to ride like a magic carpet, and the finned rear reservoirs have extra cooling capacity.

HOW STRONG ARE THE BRAKES? Strong like a bull. The OEM RZR XP 1000 brakes have 220mm rotors squeezed by two-puck hydraulic calipers at all four corners. The HCR Racing LTS kit supplies longer stainless steel brake lines, and the 30-inch Tensors provide plenty of braking bite.

A long-time title sponsor of the King of the Hammers UTV race, HCR Racing steps up to the plate with its turnkey King of the Hammers Limited Edition RZR XP 1000 EPS racer, and the price tag includes an entry to the 2015 KOH UTV race, along with a $10,000 contingency for winning on top of the regular purse

WHERE IS THE HCR KOH LE XP1K HAPPIEST? Conquering gnarly desert terrain. Whether it’s crawling along at deserttortoise pace in huge boulders, snaking through sand washes or floating over 3-foot sand whoops, the HCR Racing KOH LE provides a comfortable ride with all systems needed to navigate and communicate at speed. Sync a couple of bumper-mounted GoPros to your iPhone for digital spotting, and get ready to collect $10,000 in HCR contingencies and a free RZR XP 1000 from Polaris.

KOHLE8_DSC_2312

WHAT ABOUT TRAIL COMFORT? It’s off the chain. The new roomier cabin, lower sitting position, and custom PRP GT seats and harnesses are super comfortable and provide confidence at speed. The roof, doors, nets and intercom are all top-notch, as is the GPS system with its large, easyto-read screen. However, it’s the plush ride of the HCR Racing LTS kit and King Racing IBP shocks that’s most impressive.

HCR Racing over-fenders are protected and strengthened by steel exoskeleton tubing, and a cage-integral rear bumper, high-clearance link rods, beadlocks and eight-ply Tensor Regulator tires arm the rear end. Add a roof safety light bar and it’s ready for BitD and SCORE races.

WHAT’S OUR FINAL ANSWER? UTVs are super popular because they provide a ton of performance at a relatively low price when compared to Trophy Trucks, sand rails and top-class buggies. Many enthusiasts build their UTVs piece by piece and end up with a full-featured machine like this one. HCR Racing does the building, testing and tuning, so the KOH Limited Edition RZR XP 1000 has a lot of development behind that shocking price tag. Wide Open Adventures charges $35,000 for a SCORE Baja 500 or 1000 Class 10 race package, and you don’t get to keep the buggy. So $45,000 for a KOH UTV-racing experience and fully loaded RZR XP1K is a bargain, especially if you beat Mitch Guthrie and win $30,000 ($10,000 HCR bucks, plus a $20,000 RZR), plus the regular King of the Hammers UTV purse.

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

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

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

7-day Moscow itinerary

Travel Itinerary For One Week in Moscow

Day 1 – red square and the kremlin.

Metro Station: Okhotny Ryad on Red Line.

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

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

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

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

Metro Station: Kropotkinskaya on Red Line

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

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

How to Get a Decent Haircut in a Foreign Country

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

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

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

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

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

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

exploring Moscow

Travel Itinerary for One Week in Beijing

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

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

How I Planned My Trip to Vietnam

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

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

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

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

Metro Station: VDNKh on Orange Line

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

Moscow sights

Places to Visit in Barcelona That Aren’t Beaches

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

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

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

top things to do in Moscow

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

Day 5 – A Tour To Moscow Manor Houses

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

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

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

one week Moscow itinerary

20 Travel Tips I’ve Learned From Travelling The World

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

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

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

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

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

Moscow itinerary

How To Stop Procrastinating When Trip Planning

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

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

Day 6 – Explore the Golden Ring

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

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

Two Weeks In Thailand: The Perfect 14-Day Itinerary

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

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

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

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

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

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

How to Save Money While Traveling in Europe

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

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

Conclusion and Recommendations

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