It is a megacity where the beauty is overwhelmingly architectural. Its parks and the Moscova River are its main natural assets.

The huge urban forest parks.The Moscow River winding through the city.Snowy landscapes in winter.
Beauty mainly built by man.It is a very dense city and far from spectacular natural landscapes.

Safety

70

The center is very safe thanks to a strong police presence. The main risk is scams. (Note: Security for foreigners may be affected by the political climate.)

Street crime such as muggings is rare downtown.The subway is very safe.
Common scams (taxis, fake bills).The police may carry out random documentation checks.The current political situation can create an environment of uncertainty and vigilance for Western visitors.

Transport

100

The Moscow Metro is a work of art, an underground museum and the most efficient transportation system imaginable. It is the best way to get around the city.

The metro is fast, frequent, cheap and goes everywhere.Each station is a unique work of art (especially those on the Circle Line).An extensive and efficient network of buses, trams and trolleybuses.
It can be incredibly crowded at rush hour.Signage in English has improved, but it is not universal.

Tips for Adventure

Explore Gastronomic Markets

Go beyond the restaurants and visit modern food halls such as Depo.Moskva or the Danilovsky Market. They are vibrant places where Muscovites eat and socialize.

Discover VDNKh in depth

Don't just look at the main source. This park is gigantic. Rent a bicycle or an electric scooter and explore its pavilions, the cosmonautics museum and its most distant corners.

The Russian Smile

Not smiling at strangers is not a sign of hostility, but a cultural norm. A smile is reserved for friends and family. Don't take it personally.

Gifts and Flowers

If you are invited to a house, bring a small gift (chocolate, wine). If you give flowers, make sure it is an odd number; even numbers are for funerals.

Tap Water

Don't drink tap water. Always consume bottled water.

Heating in Winter

Indoors (subways, museums, shops) are heated extremely high in winter. Dress in layers so you can take off clothes when you enter.

Bring your Passport and Visa

The police can carry out documentation checks at any time, especially in the subway. Always carry your passport with the visa and the hotel registration paper with you.

Beware of Taxis

Never take unofficial taxis on the street. Use apps like Yandex.Go, which work like Uber, to have a fixed price and avoid scams.
