KGB Museum of Security Service on Lubyanka
posted by DVC_Chris on 19 September 2009 at 00:31 As a big fan of Tom Clancy’s works, when I visited Moscow I made it a point to visit the KGB Museum of Security Service on Lubyanka, where there are exhibits cover the history of the KGB, as well as some of its spy tools that it used over the years. |
Moscow is without a doubt the city which best captures the essence of Russia - not just its official capital, but its political, cultural and economic centre as well. Embodied by a bohemian atmosphere, this is enhanced by the stunning architecture (specifically in the Red Square) and the multitude of art galleries peppering this one-of-a-kind city. With cheap flights to Moscow now readily available, there has never been a better time to pay a visit to this richly historical city. Getting to Moscow There are a number of direct, cheap flights to Moscow from the UK - and with flight time averaging just 3 and a half hours, it's the quickest way to travel somewhere a little bit different! Hotels will usually arrange transport to and from the airport, although a taxi is the next easiest option. Moscow's largest airport (Sheremetyevo) is just 19 miles out from the centre of Moscow. Things to do in Moscow The Kremlin should be the first stop on any tourist's agenda - the political and historical centre of Russia, it's simply not to be missed. Linked to this is the Red Square, which boasts views of the finest architecture in Moscow.
