What a great surprise!!!

by xaver - last update: May 1, 2006

Why?

Victory park
To tell the truth the only reason why I decided to go to visit Moscow, was a grat deal I found, a very cheap tiket 100 euro from Ancona.
I was not thinking about Moscow as a possible destinations fro various reasons: the cold and, above all the rumors I had heard and read about it.
But when I was going to decide if going to Moscow and St. Petersburg a friend (call_me_rhia) told me: St. Petersburg is just a beautiful european town, Moscow is special and I hate to admitt she was right once again!
Kremlin from the bridge

The surprise.

Fortunatly anyway i decided to go as Moscow was really a great surprise for me, I found it totally clean contrary to what I had heard, absolutelly well preserved and just coloured and alive.My idea of a grey big and unonimous city desappeared as soon as I arrived in the city centre.
Panorama

Not enough time

The only thing I regret is that I could spend only and I repeat only 5 days in Moscow as they were absolutely not enough to visit all the sites I wanted to and to enjoy this grea city enough, in the end I will have o go back!

 Excellent Moscow page with marvellous photographs. The Red Square and the Kremlin especially the various cathedrals look wonderful to visit and explore. Victory Park at night in your photo certainly looks amazing. ~ho & pang

 Casina di Irina fuori gioco; figliola di Irina un po' stramba e non troppo solerte a rispondere... si va con Booking. E... leggo solo ora che scarti ST Pietroburgo a favore di Mosca!!!
