Moscow metro
by lifesaver888
Hi everyone!
It will be my first time to Moscow(and St. pete) and I'm now making researches about the city...touristy places,restos,local transportation,etc..In fact Ive already booked a hotel online and learn basic russian(too much excitement!).One thing though,I find the metro train quite complicated...with transfers and with a circle line.So can anyone help me...from Paveletskaya(green line) station I'd like to go to Sukharevskaya station(orange line) which is near Suharevka hotel.Whats the easiest or simpliest route to take?
I appreciate all your opinion/output on this matter.
Gracias!

Paveletskaya - Novokuznetskaya (next station) change line to orange Novokuznetskaya and then to Sukharevskaya.
But be attentive to some details on your change of lines: as a matter of fact there are two ways to change green to orange metro line. your station is to the north onto orange line, then you must go upstairs that are situated in the one of the edge side, - as far as i remember, if to go from Paveletskaya, it is the nearest to last carriage of the train (the upstairs in the center of station lead to the stations to the south onto orange line). in any way, don't choose the central-located upstairs :-)
by the way, there are quite a lot of people who speak English and you may just ask direction in the metro.

Here is very convenient scheme. You press your starting station and destination and it shows you the way, sometimes even several variants, and time of travel

> metro system in Moscow is very easy.
Yes, but not for foreigners!!! ;(
Exactly change from Green to Orange is tricky one. As there are two stations named Tretyakovskaya with trains from different lines on platforms at both!!! i.e. to get to the train in right direction you must find name of your station in a long list of Cyrillic names. ;(
My advise - do not use Paveletskaya-Green. Use Paveletskaya-Circle (Brown) instead.
1. You will never get to the wrong direction on a Circle line ;))))
2. Changes to Orange line (both on Oktyabrskaya and Prospect Mira) are rather simple there.
Good luck!

P.S. There are 2 stations in Moscow with absolutely confusing change: 1) Tretyakovskaya (Orange and Yellow) and 2) Kitai Gorod (Orange and Magenta)
At those stations trains of the neighbouring tracks are from different lines. I.e. to change from Orange South to Yellow East or from Magenta West to Orange South one need not to walk a lot - just cross the same platform.
Other changes are not as easy - read direction list carefully to find your track.
Re: Moscow metro

yes, I rather agree with Pavel
sounds much more easier to use round (brown) line with the only change-stairs in the station.
Re: Moscow metro
by manuna
One cannot skip stairs on Tretjakovskaya either. So not a big change.

Another metro map you find here:

Don´t worry, lifesaver, when you already read Russian, you will recognize that it is not that complicated to use the metro - and start to enjoy the beautiful stations ;-)
Travel Tips for Moscow
Climate
by Santini738
Moscow is exposed to cold winters, warm and mild summers, and very brief spring and autumn seasons. Typical high temperatures in the warm months of July and August are around 22°C (72°F); in the winter, temperatures normally drop to approximately -12°C (10°F) highest temperature ever recorded was +36.7 °C (98.1 °F).[9] and lowest ever recorded -42.2C in January 1940. Monthly rainfall totals vary minimally throughout the year, although the precipitation levels tend to be higher during the summer than during the winter. Due to the significant variation in temperature between the winter and summer months as well as the limited fluctuation in precipitation levels during the summer, Moscow is considered to be within a continental climate zone.
WiFi
by ratherton
Wireless internet connection is becoming more popular all over the world and Moscow is no exception. Local ISP, Yandex, offers WiFi in a number of locations all round Moscow including The American Bar and Grill and the TGI Friday chain.
More information can be found on their website Yandex Wifi It's in Russian so you may need to use the website link on the Moscow Home Page to translate it for you
Kremlin Walls
by xenia
Behind these walls during the long time there aren't inhabitants. Last man who lived in Moscow Kremlin was one stoker (up to 60-ties, if my recollections doesn't fail me). And accordingly that stoker had mail address like this:
"Moscow, Kremlin. for Ferapont Sidoroff"
And you believed that you are cool?
Totally fortress walls of Moscow Kremlin hold 1045 merlons (I selected the best three of them for you:)
NOVODEVICHY (NEW MAIDEN) CONVENT
by kris-t
This is one of the most beautiful convents in Moscow and its was founded in the early 16th century. Its main cathedral was consecrated in honour of the Smolenskaya Icon of the Mother of God Hodigitria. According to legend, the icon was painted by St. Luke himself, and it is closely linked with the convent's foundation. The icon was brought to Rus from Greece in 1046 by Tsarina Anna Monomakh, the wife of the Chernigovsk Prince Vsevolod Yaroslavich, and later ended up in Smolensk. In 1398 Sofia, the wife of Prince Vasily I, went to Smolensk to visit her father, the Lithuanian Duke Vitovt. He allowed her to take the icon back to Moscow, and it was placed in the Kremlin Cathedral of the Annunciation. Several years later the citizens of Smolensk asked the Moscow Grand Prince to return their object of worship. Eventually Vasily II the Dark, who had succeeded Vasily I, acceded to their request in 1456. He had an exact copy of the icon made, and then sent the original revered icon back to Smolensk. The icon was solemnly accompanied by a religious procession to the banks of the Moscow River opposite the Vorobyovy Hills, where a service was held. From that day onwards (up to the revolution) a religious procession was held annually at this place.

Dressed up procession goes across the bridge downto Balchug square at the end of the show. There everyone could see it and enjoy.
