Escape to Moscow

by Rita Nohra August 30, 2018

ESCAPE TO MOSCOW

There are not enough words to describe the beauty and magnificence that is Russia – after all, it is the world’s largest nation. So, we’ll just show you around a bit and tell you what to eat in Moscow

WHAT TO SEE


Visit the Kremlin, a fortified complex at the heart of Moscow. It overlooks the Moska River, the St. Basil’s Cathedral and Red Square, and the Alexander Garden.

Walk around Moscow’s Red Square, which separates the former royal citadel (Kremlin) and the current official residence of the Russian President.

Admire the colorful Alexander Gardens, which stretch all along the western Kremlin wall. With three gardens spread across 865 meters, you are in for a show!

If you’re not into walking, then it’s best for you to take a boat on the Moskva River, where you can enjoy the beauty of Moscow and its monuments in 90 minutes (approx.) – also a good option to beat the summer heat.

Finally, no trip to Moscow is complete without visiting the oh-so famous St. Basil’s Cathedral. Containing 10 churches in total, the cathedral is famous for its bonfire flame-shaped peaks pointing to the sky.
