I like Moscow a lot. This is early Sunday morning when the streets downtown are nearly empty.
For a first visit and if you are pressed for time, then I think you should allow yourself 2 days for sure for this megapolis to see the main sights.
This is Moscow's Kremlin in the background. That's how it looks when it's minus 18 degrees Celsius. That's when you don't really want to take of your gloves to take a picture!
This is also a true Moskovit! He lives in Tsaritsyno.
- Pros:There are lots of surprises!
- Cons:The traffic is an absolute nightmare!
- In a nutshell:An absolute must!

Hmmm, I just had to re-read your fabulous restaurant tips. I still need some suggestions for my visit in October.
Ja! Es ist meine hometown! My nick name comes from my city name. Lovely Moscow page!
Moscow must be a lot more fun in summer .The winter ice seems scary.At minus 18 C there is no way I'd want to be here !
Is it even legal to live in Russia and not drink at least vodka??LOL I liked the white nights...deserted streets and great cycling..almost all night! Mike
I thought Moscow was a concrete jungle
Ah Moscow a place I would love to visit byt maybe only in summer = I would not be able to resist the stray dogs esp the cute one :)
Hi, Sonja! Time for me to revisit Moscow! Thanks for your stories!
Thanks for this interesting introduction to Moscow, Sonja. Hope I can make it there soon. Since then I still have to exercise my poor Russian; my gymnasium years are too far away.
Hi Sonja, it was great to see you again at the VT meeting in Frankfurt. How long did you live in Moscow, anyway? You seem to know the city very well. I've seen some Russian operas lately and read a biography of Ivan the Terrible. (He really was.)
Wonderful page with many usuful advices and suggestions! Great off the beaten path tips. Tsaritsyno looks fantastic! Poor homeless pets. I have to come to feed some of them :-)
