Russia Moscow Tours

Moscow is Russia at full volume - the candy-coloured domes of St Basil's on Red Square, the walled Kremlin and its cathedrals, and a metro of chandeliered marble halls. Add the view from Sparrow Hills and a Moskva River cruise, and the old capital reveals itself layer by layer.

Beyond the postcard center, tours of Moscow reward travelers who spread their time across districts and seasons. The city runs on a scale that surprises even people who expect it, so a plan and a metro card matter more here than in most capitals.

Neighborhoods Worth an Afternoon

Gorky Park and the adjoining Muzeon sculpture garden show the city at leisure, while VDNKh's restored Soviet pavilions make one of the stranger and more photogenic walks in Europe. Izmailovo's weekend market remains the place for lacquer boxes, fur hats and Soviet-era oddments.

Picking Your Season

June and July bring long evenings and open-air cafes along the boulevards. Deep winter has real charm if you dress for it, with skating rinks in the center and museum queues at their shortest.
