293 Reviews 16th century Place of execution (Lobnoe mesto). Any gude will tell you that but do not trust this information, please, because it's a prevailing MISTAKE...

63 Reviews This is a new fine dining restaurant. Located on the roof of Smolensky Passage (16th floor), under a glass dome. View of Moscow incredible! The impressive design and a friendly atmosphere. An experienced sommelier helped us with a choice of wine.The menu is very diverse and quite unusual, for every...
43 Reviews The «Vienna cafe» is to be found at Domodedovo Airport’s International departure lounge in what they call a "clean zone" (neutral territory) after passport control. After passport control go towards boarding gates 16-22 and then up the escalator to the 2nd floor. They operate a 24 hour...
42 Reviews Sally O' Brien's is an authentic Irish Pub in Moscow. The staff are friendly even though not all barmen speak English. The wooden interior also includes many travel memorabilia including a street sign of "Trg Bana Jelacica", which is the main Square in Zagreb (Croatia).
16 Reviews With nine straight years of fast paced growth and high world energy prices Moscow is booming. And like any frontier town, it has an easy come, easy go attitude. There are freshly minted multi-millionaires and scores of others who have benefited from Russia's new found wealth. Most of the wealth is...
138 Reviews Metro when I was in Moscow was the main type of transportation which I was used. I bought 2 times tickets for 10 rides. I payed about 250 RUB. I suppose that this ticket is cheaper and are more useful than if you're going to buy every day ticket. One ride by metro cost about 30 RUB. Also is...
51 Reviews Although his rate appeared high, I hired "Uncle Pasha" (www.moscowdrivers.net) for $80 and haven't regretted it. For this price he saved me a bundle right away at the airport by cautioning me against converting my $US into Rubles at the airport. On our way to the hotel he gave me an informal...
39 Reviews You will find Russians, especially in Moscow, very brand conscious. This is especially true amoung the emerging middle class professionals and the niveau riche. From brand new BMWs & Mercedes, Rolexes & Cartiers, to suits from Armani & Hugo Boss Russians will stump up for the best they can afford....
93 Reviews The GUM "State Department Store" was built between 1890 and 1893. The building consists of three parallel 3-storey arcades with galleries. It mainly houses a wide variety of foreign stores and designer boutiques of western brand names. Afdter the perestroika most of the brands were keen on this...
49 Reviews Tourist-turned-journalist: "Any advice where I should go to find hard-core authenticity? Drunk tractor drivers having a race, head-scarved babushkas with goats, men jumping into snow after the banya, that sort of thing?" - Head to Hollywood studios.
31 Reviews Being an ‘Old Russian’, I still remember the days when eating, drinking, let alone smoking in the street was considered utterly bad form. I mean, school kids would, of course, snatch an Eskimo (11 kopeck) now and then or even an ice-cream sugar cone with a creme rosette (19 kopeck) – that was for a...
50 Reviews Foreigners applying for work permits must now undergo tests for HIV/AIDS, leprosy, syphilis, chlamydia and all those other nasty things your Drill Sergeant and your mother warned you about. Tests can only be carried out at state clinics, which means you cannot be tested at home by your own doctor...
15 Reviews Russia still has a sort of dual-pricing system, according to which foreigners are charged often 3 to 10 times more at theatres, museums or sights than Russian citizens. This price system is a relic from Soviet times when tickets for Russians were said to be subsidised. The photo shows the entrance...
7 Reviews Winter in Moscow is not as cool as people say it is. All you will need is and good winter jacket and sweater's. Please keep in mind men there do not wear fur coat's. And when you get there it would be a good idea for you to buy a hat like Tim's (at the picture).
30 Reviews Despite the usual snowy image of Russia, summers in Moscow are hot, usually upwards of +25, and frequently over +30. Hence, pack plenty of summer clothing - especially as cheaper fashion such as, say, H&M, is harder to come by. And, in general, Moscow is expensive where clothes are concerned,...
49 Reviews Vysoko-Petrovsky Monastery was founded in 1380 in the village of Vysokoye by Prince Dmitry Donskoi after his return from the Battle of Kulikovo. This site was once occupied by the ancient Bogolubskaya Church of Ivan Kalita. It is said that when the Muscovite Prince Ivan Kalita passed this place,...
25 Reviews On my second trip to Moscow in October 2009 I wanted to take at least one daytrip from the Russian capital. I perused several guide books and finally decided on Sergiyev Posad. Sergiyev Posad, which was formerly named Zagorsk, is situated on the so called Golden Ring, just 70 km north east of...
161 Reviews The 70 m (230 ft) high Saviour Tower is the most magnificent of the Kremlin towers, the very symbol and emblem of Moscow. From time immemorial it has been the principal entrance to the Kremlin. The tower, like its two neighbors tothe north, was built in 1491 by the Italian architect Pietro...
42 Reviews The wide street Kutuzovskiy Prospekt used to be a prestigious residential area for very important people of the Soviet Union. The building at number 26 was known as the Politbuero block, where people like Leonid Brezhnev and his Interior Minister Shchelokov as well as the head of the KGB Andropov...
