2025 Moscow Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

I’ve heard that Moscow’s subway stations are the most beautiful in the world and have even been featured on Lonely Planet. Now that I’m in Moscow, I must come and see them! Its subway is mainly a transformation of the underground air-raid shelter in the past, located 300 meters underground or even deeper. The good-looking stations are mainly concentrated on the No. 2 and No. 5 Grand Loop Lines, each with its own unique features. Highly recommended 👍 🎯 Komsomolskaya metro station (Line 5): You can look for the Komsomol emblem on top of the limestone column. The tiles are marked with images of hard-working volunteers. If you don’t have time, you must go to this place! 🎯Belorusskaya Station (Lines 2 and 5): 12 sets of ceilings introduce Russia’s 🇷🇺12 western neighbors, and the floor is a traditional Belarusian pattern, super beautiful! 🎯Xinzhuang Station Novoslobodskaya (Line 5): 32 pieces of Art Nouveau stained glass, the central hall is decorated with a mosaic of "World Peace" Others include Mayakovskaya Station (Line 2), Prospect Mira Station (Line 5), and Kievskaya Station (Line 5), which are all worth visiting and recommended❤️ #NewYearGoodDestinations2025 #MoscowStrategy

As the capital of Russia, Moscow is a tourist-friendly city. It has dense public transportation such as subways 🚇 and buses 🚌, which is very comfortable for slow walking and slow shooting 👍 In addition to the Kremlin complex, there are also several major attractions along the Moscow River, which are very suitable for casual walking and jumping. It is also one of my favorite ways to travel. The recommended itinerary is as follows: Cathedral of Christ the Saviour - Stroll along the Moscow River and take pictures on the bridge - Moscow State University/Sparrow Hills - Kalomenskoye Estate - Charitsyn Park I especially like to look at the Kremlin scenery from the bridge on the other side of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. It is very suitable for taking pictures. When the weather is good, I can take pictures of the church from the other side⛪️. Occasionally, I can also take pictures of the aperture light and shadow, which is great👍

Russia has always been on my travel list. The planned free travel was delayed due to language problems. In fact, if you only travel to Moscow and St. Petersburg, there is basically no problem with transportation and tourist facilities. It is just that the trip around the Golden Ring will be more troublesome. The first place to visit in Russia is definitely the famous Kremlin complex, which is centered on the Red Square. A one-day walking tour can basically cover all the important attractions. Considering the security check factors, it is recommended to arrange it like this: First visit the Ivan the Great Bell Tower and the Tsar Bell on the periphery - slowly walk into the Kremlin security entrance - enter and visit St. Basil's Cathedral/Kremlin/Russian State Historical Museum - GUM Department Store (lunch on the way) - walk to the nearby subway station in the evening and visit the world's most beautiful Komsomol subway station The itinerary can be fine-tuned according to the weather. Outside the main Kremlin complex, you can also spend another whole day playing along the Moscow River in the city. I personally like their ice cream-like rooftop buildings and took a lot of photos. Highly recommended! #RussianTourism #MoscowRedSquare #MoscowStrategy #Moscow #2025GoodPlaces

I visited a mansion of Russian writer, Gorky, and was so impressed by the carved staircase and the library inside. And a secret place - a chapel on the third floor is just amazing! If you are interested in Russian literature, history and architecture, this is a must visit place for you. Place: Gorky's House 📍Address: Malaya Nikitskaya Ulitsa, 6/2, Moscow, 121069 #celebrateit

Zurab Tsereteli museum and workshop is a hidden place in Moscow. At first when we decided to visit it we thought it will be a common museum but it turned out that it also has an outdoor park around with giant sculptures and monuments. They belong to different eras, themes and styles. Inside the museum you will find paintings, mosaics and historical pictures of the famous painter. Name: Zurab Tsereteli museum 📍Address: Bolshaya Gruzinskaya St, 15, Moscow, 123557 #celebrateit

Moscow might seem a bit more ordinary compared to St. Petersburg. The most famous sites, Saint Basil's Cathedral and the Kremlin, are both located in the same large square. Red Square is right next door too. Super convenient! I recommend staying in the city center, as the surrounding attractions are all close by. The metro is also very convenient for traveling further afield. Make sure you have small change for the metro.🪙

Day 2 in Russia 💞Route: Hotel - Red Square - Turandot Cafe - Cathedral of the Armed Forces - The вык - Hotel - Leningradsky Railway Station 💕We had breakfast at the hotel at 7:30 am. The breakfast was very artistic, with paintings on the walls for sale and very European-style lamps made of large glass beads. Surprisingly, there was no milk, but egg drop soup. 🍑We walked to Red Square after breakfast, which was about 2 km away. We saw many Moscow buildings along the way, which were a bit artistic, but not too much. Most of them were built during the Soviet era, giving a sense of solidity. 🍉There was an ice rink in Red Square. There were many ice rinks here. Then we went to GUM and had a 150-ruble ice cream, which was very sweet. We went to a bathroom for 50 rubles and saw a piece of clothing for more than 3,000 rubles, which was quite expensive. 🌟Then we walked to McDonald's across from Turandot Cafe and took a carpool to the Cathedral of the Armed Forces. We departed at about 1:00 pm and arrived at 2:15 pm. 🎉We left for The вык at 6:00 pm. Don't go there. The food was terrible. The most expensive steak for 1,600 rubles was like chewing wax, and all the drinks contained alcohol. 🍀We took a taxi back to the hotel at 8:30 pm, picked up our luggage, and took a taxi to Leningradsky Railway Station. Then we sat in the business lounge, where many foods were freshly made, including beef, fish, pork, Russian fast food, potato salad, water, drinks, and milk. The food was very rich, and the sofa was very soft. We waited until 11:50 pm when the screen showed our platform number, and we got on the train. There was food, bread, high-concentration tomato juice, and chocolate on the train. The bed was already made. We just needed to put it down and take the pillow to sleep. At first, we couldn't find the bed and wondered why it wasn't made. Then we studied it and thought it was impossible, so we found it ourselves and put it down. We slept well that night. We locked the door and slept very relaxedly until 8:00 am. We had an hour to eat. We ordered an omelet and cheese yesterday, but we got the same thing.

#2024Travel Review Hilton Moscow Leningradskaya Hilton Moscow Leningradskaya is one of the Seven Sisters of Moscow and was built in the early 1950s. One of the seven castles built under the orders of Comrade Stalin, it has the same appearance and tall spire. Next to the Moscow Komsomolskaya metro station stands a magnificent Stalin-style building, completed in 1954. In 2008, the Hilton Moscow Leningrad Hotel became a hotel under the Hilton Hotels Group after a massive renovation. Like many old hotels, it has a super neoclassical style decoration. The 12-meter-high antique hotel lobby has many huge chandeliers. Bronze statues and marble columns, and a gilded portico. Beautiful and luxurious, culture and luxury coexist, as if you are in a gorgeous era. As soon as you enter the room. The brown wooden layout and the dense yellow light reveal the elements of old cadres, giving it an atmosphere of history and elegance. It retains retro and historical traces, but is neat and clean. The service staff are very professional and speak multiple languages. Breakfast is ok, with plenty of cold food. There are swimming pools, sauna spa, etc. There are relatively few international chain hotels in Moscow now, with Russian-style layout, convenient location, and friendly and professional service.

#2024TravelReview The Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts (Russian: Музей изобразительных искусств им. А.S. Пушкина) is located in Moscow. Although it is not as well-known as the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, it is the second largest museum in Russia with foreign artists. The exterior adopts a palace-style architectural design, which is very elegant and magnificent. The space inside the museum is really large, and its status is almost like the British Museum in London and the Louvre in Paris. The Pushkin Museum has a rich collection, ranging from artifacts from ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations, replicas of Renaissance sculptures, to modern and contemporary European paintings and sculptures, totaling 670,000 treasures. In addition to the wonderful and rich works of Impressionism, there are also countless works of Post-Impressionism.

#2024 Travel Review The Moscow Metro opened in 1935 and is known as an underground museum, many of which incorporated the design style of marble columns during construction. Even the rich will sit on a trip to Moscow, in addition to a glimpse of the magnificent squares and palaces, because there is a gorgeous world hidden deep underground - the Moscow Metro Station. The station was early to be used as an air-raid shelter during war, so the subway platform was dug very deep. The Moscow Metro, once rated as one of the "world's three largest metropolises", has 12 subway lines, 188 stations, and modern carriages. Each station has its own characteristics and is known for its luxurious interior decoration. Among them, Kyiv Station and Lenin Station are the most majestic and palace-like. Using a large number of exquisite marble statues, mosaics, reliefs, stained glass, with beautiful luxury chandeliers, outline layers of light and shadow details, matching the extremely beautiful space, making countless subway stations come alive of art museums.

#2024Travel Review Red Square is located in the center of Moscow, the capital of Russia. It is one of the world's famous squares and a must-see for tourists. Now it has become a place for people to hold gatherings, celebrations and even military parades. In the country of Russia, the colorful nine towers of St. Basil's Cathedral. Each tower has different heights and sizes, and is decorated with an "onion head" dome on the top. From the outside, it looks like you have entered a fairy tale world. Saint Basil's Cathedral is now one of the world's cultural heritage sites, subverting ordinary people's impression of churches as neat, white, and sacred. Red Square is another concentration of Russian landmarks, surrounded by several historical buildings, including Lenin's Mausoleum, St. Basil's Cathedral, and the Kremlin. To the east of Red Square are the State Department Store and the National Historical Museum. You can also take a boat trip on the river and enjoy the distant views

# Sign up for hotel trial sleepers in December Moscow, a city whose name is full of power and mystery. It is both a witness to history and a modern trendsetter; it has both majestic palaces and alleys full of life. My trip to Moscow was an adventure through time and space, an experience of collision between history and modernity, a journey full of surprises, touches and fun. The moment I arrived in Moscow, I was struck by its unique atmosphere. The city is huge and vibrant, with towering buildings and ancient churches complementing each other, and modern transportation passing by ancient horse-drawn carriages. There is a unique mixture of atmosphere in the air, with both the weight of history and the exuberance of modernity. My journey naturally started in Red Square. Standing on the Red Square, looking up at the majestic walls of the Kremlin, feeling the weight of history, an indescribable sense of solemnity arises spontaneously. Pigeons fly in flocks on the Red Square, and their free silhouettes form a wonderful contrast with the solemn atmosphere of the Red Square. I walked on Red Square and felt the historical events that had happened on this land and the people who had lived here. The Kremlin, the center of power in Russia, is full of mystery. I visited various palaces and churches in the Kremlin and admired the exquisite architecture and artwork. The interior of the palace is magnificent and luxuriously decorated, showing the power and wealth of the Russian Empire. The interior of the church is solemn and solemn, with exquisite murals, reflecting the Russian people's religious beliefs and artistic attainments. In the Kremlin arsenal, I saw many precious weapons and armors, which witnessed the glory and wars in Russian history. Leaving the Kremlin, I strolled through the ancient streets of Moscow. The winding alleys here are lined with ancient houses, full of historical charm. I walked into some ancient churches in Moscow and felt the unique charm of Russian Orthodox culture. The interiors of these churches are magnificent, beautifully decorated and full of religious solemnity. Moscow’s subway can be called the art palace of the world’s subways. I rode the Moscow Metro and admired the exquisite decoration in the subway stations. Each subway station is like an art palace, with gorgeous decorations and different styles. I felt like I was in an underground art museum, feeling the artistic talent and aesthetic taste of the Moscow people. In Moscow, I tasted authentic Russian cuisine. Russian cuisine is world-famous for its unique flavors and rich ingredients. I tasted Russia's famous borscht, potato pancakes and Russian dumplings, and felt the unique charm of Russian food. In addition to historical monuments and gastronomy, Moscow has many other attractions, such as the Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow State University, Moscow Zoo, and more. The Tretyakov Gallery has a large collection of Russian paintings, showing the development of Russian painting art. Moscow State University is one of the most famous universities in Russia and its magnificent architecture is breathtaking. Moscow Zoo is a fun place, I saw all kinds of animals here and had a great time. The night in Moscow is full of romance. As night falls, the city lights turn on, and the lights on the Moskva River are reflected on the river, forming a beautiful night scene. I strolled through the streets of Moscow, admiring the night view of the city and feeling the romantic atmosphere of Moscow. In Moscow, I also did some interesting things, such as taking a Moscow bus to feel the city life in Moscow; walking in the parks of Moscow to enjoy the natural scenery of Moscow; shopping in the markets of Moscow to buy some Russian specialties; Drinking coffee in Moscow cafes and feeling the laid-back atmosphere of Moscow... These experiences gave me a deeper understanding of Moscow and filled me with wonderful memories of this city. The moment I left Moscow, I looked back at this charming city with a feeling of reluctance. Moscow has both a sense of history and modern vitality; it has both majestic palaces and alleys full of life; it has both solemn churches and bustling markets...all of it makes I have great memories of Moscow. Goodbye, Moscow! I look forward to meeting you again and feeling your charm again. This trip to Moscow is not only a trip, but also a baptism of the soul and an in-depth experience of history, culture and art. The echoes of Red Square, the secrets of the Kremlin, and the countless vivid stories in this city will always remain in my memory and become one of the most precious treasures in my life. Moscow is a city full of power, mystery and charm that I will always remember.

#holidayseason If Christmas had a capital, Moscow would be a strong contender. In December, the Russian capital transforms into a frosty fairytale straight out of a snow globe. Picture twinkling lights, shimmering ice sculptures, and enough festive cheer to warm even the coldest Siberian night. Red Square becomes the epicenter of holiday magic, hosting a sprawling Christmas market that looks like a scene from a classic Russian folktale. St. Basil’s Cathedral gleams under the lights, adding an extra layer of enchantment. Here, you’ll find rows of stalls selling everything from handcrafted ornaments to piping-hot blini (Russian pancakes) and mulled wine. Don’t miss the skating rink, where you can glide around with the iconic Kremlin walls as your backdrop. Gorky Park also joins the festivities with its massive ice rink, where locals and tourists alike skate to festive music surrounded by glowing decorations. Meanwhile, the Journey to Christmas Festival takes over the city with performances, art installations, and culinary delights spread across multiple locations. Of course, Moscow’s Christmas charm isn’t complete without its legendary holiday lights. Tverskaya Street and Nikolskaya Street dazzle with elaborate light tunnels and festive displays that make every stroll feel magical. From sipping hot cocoa in the brisk winter air to marveling at Moscow’s majestic holiday spirit, Christmas in Russia’s grand capital is a celebration of tradition, beauty, and the joy of the season.

Read this if you are planning to go to Moscow for the first time! If you have only three days in Moscow, it's better to choose a hotel in the city centre, it will be way more convenient to visit the most famous sightseeings: Red Square, St.Basil's Cathedral, Bolshoi Theatre, Arbat street and Park Zaryadye. All of them will be within walking distance if you stay somewhere close to the city center (to my personal choice Radisson Slavyanskaya is the best place to stay considering price/quality and location). In the evening you can go to the theater/cinema, stand-up show or just walk around and have dinner (there is a variety of restaurants, but be careful, they are a bit pricey because of the location). City centre in Moscow is the best place to visit for those who cherish history and architecture! #voyagevibes #cityitinerary #localguides #historicallandmarks #100waysoftravel

🌨️ Russia's winter is famous for its unique beauty. Here are some must-see winter destinations: 🌨️ ✅. 🏰 Moscow: Russia's capital transforms into a beautiful city blanketed in snow during winter. Red Square and the Kremlin are Moscow's most iconic sites and top winter attractions. The Christmas market and ice rink on Red Square add a festive atmosphere to this historic square. Red Square is even more stunning at night, with the majestic Kremlin buildings illuminated. 🎄✨ ✅. 🕌 Kazan: Along with Moscow and St. Petersburg, Kazan is listed as a Class A historical and cultural city in Russia and is one of the most popular winter tourist destinations in Russia. Kazan is a city that blends multiple ethnic cultures and religious civilizations, featuring churches, mosques, temples, lamaseries, and Chinese-style carved beams and painted rafters. 🌍🏛️ ✅. 🎭 St. Petersburg: In winter, although you can't see the bridges open or the fountains of the Summer Palace, the cultural and artistic atmosphere of the city remains as vibrant as in spring and summer. During this season, the three imperial theaters in St. Petersburg host continuous ballet performances, all sold out; the city's hundreds of museums are bustling with visitors; the outdoor winter ice rinks are always lively; Christmas, New Year, and ice sculpture festivals make the city even more beautiful; the Neva River freezes over, allowing you to wander through the streets on the ice; and creative snowmen can be seen everywhere on the city's streets, parks, and squares. 🎨⛸️ ✅. 🌐 Murmansk: Murmansk is the largest city within the Arctic Circle, one of the largest naval ports in Russia and the world, and the only ice-free natural harbor in the Arctic region. It is Russia's largest fishing port and the largest commercial port in the north, serving as a forward base for Arctic Ocean expeditions and a rear base for northern islands. 🐟🌍 These places offer unique winter scenery, whether it's the city's snowy landscapes, the historical and cultural heritage, or the unique scenery within the Arctic Circle, all worth experiencing and exploring in person. ❄️🏔️

#fallcolors #100waysoftravel #russia #autumn With the crisp autumn air and vibrant leaves painting Moscow in fiery hues, I set off to explore Sheremetyevskaya Dubrava Park, an enchanting retreat on the city’s outskirts. The journey there was equally charming, taking a vintage tram through Moscow’s tree-lined streets that gleamed with shades of gold, orange, and crimson. 🚇 Transportation: The tram ride was a delight in itself—a perfect way to absorb the city’s autumn beauty as we passed by cozy cafes and historical buildings before reaching the park. 🍜 Local Cuisine: After strolling through the park’s serene paths, I warmed up with traditional pelmeni dumplings and a cup of hot tea from a nearby café—a simple but hearty treat that’s perfect for the chilly season. 🏨 Accommodation: I stayed in a quaint inn nearby, where the rustic decor matched the season’s charm, giving me a cozy space to unwind after my adventure. 💡 Tips: Visit the park in the late afternoon to catch the golden hour, and remember to layer up—it can get chilly in the evening! Moscow’s trams can get crowded, so try to ride during off-peak hours for a more relaxed journey.

The highest cable-stayed bridge in Europe, Zhivopisny Bridge, is located in the northwest of Moscow. Here, we will introduce you to one of the capital's off-the-beaten-path photography spots. The banks of the bridge are nature reserves. Construction is prohibited in these areas, so conventional solutions cannot be used. Engineers developed a project in which the bridge supports are in the form of arches, and the canvas is fixed on the arches by cables. A viewing platform—a suspended glass cabin—was designed under the arches, and the glass cabin was raised with a jack after assembly. This magnificent structure ensures the stability of the bridge. The uniqueness of Zhivopisny Bridge lies in the fact that it is not built on the river, but along the river. This is done to protect the natural area and facilitate navigation. The bridge is nearly 1.5 kilometers long. To prevent the bridge from being "blown away" by the wind and collapsing, it is given the ability to swing like a swing. The bridge can deviate from the vertical axis by several tens of centimeters. The designer of the project is the famous architect Nikolai Shumakov. In addition to Zhivopisny Bridge, his creative works also include more than 30 subway stations in Moscow and other projects. The bridge was put into use in 2007. In 2017, Shumakov became the first Russian architect to receive the prestigious "Auguste Perret International Award". Zhivopisny Bridge is perfectly integrated into Moscow's urban infrastructure and has become one of the capital's tourist cards. Come and enjoy the beautiful scenery of this wonderful building!
