Moscow, Russia

Why travel to Moscow

Can you imagine visiting Italy without spending a couple of days unveiling the secrets of ancient Rome? We bet that the answer is no, and even if someone can plan an Italy tour that doesn't involve the glorious capital of the country, it's his loss. The same is true for Russia travel, you can't really say that you've been to Russia if you haven't stopped in legendary Moscow.

The vibrant Rusian capital is a one-of-a-kind city, filled with incredible places to explore. Even if you have just one day to spend there, there are a lot of things you can cross from your Russia travel bucket list. For example, you can start your day by stopping by the iconic Kremlin with its renowned clock, striking St. Basil's Cathedral, celebrated Bolshoi Theatre, ultramodern Zaryadye Park, and wondrous GUM department store, all located nearby the world-famous calling card of Moscow, the Red Square.

Then you can continue to the subway. The underground railway in Moscow is much more than just a mode of transportation (although it's considered to be one of the best in the world), it's a work of art as it houses some of the most beautiful stations on the planet. Taking a metro train is an unforgettable experience, a mundane miracle that tops the list of "must-do" things in Moscow. And, bearing all mentioned above in mind, the most unbelievable thing about the city's metro is the fact that a ticket for any distance costs less than 1 USD!

The second part fo the day you can dedicate to the Tretyakov Gallery, another unmissable place during the Moscow travel. The gallery is one of the most popular art museums in the world, and it houses over 150 000 artworks of various genres, including centuries-old icons, amazing sculptures, and brilliant paintings from the collection of the gallery's founder, Pavel Tretyakov, himself. Visiting the museum is a great way to get acquainted with Russian art heritage and a sure way to remember your Moscow getaway forever.
