GULAG History Museum
posted by pmarshall This place made such an impression on me, to think, people were working in labour camps here in my lifetime, it's just astonishing. Nicely juxtaposed against the high-end shops on the same road! Good irony. Pushkin Fine Arts Museum
posted by peisenhart A great collection spread over a couple of locations, we did them all on one day which was a bit hectic to be honest, but the cheapest way to do it. Gallery of European and American Art of the 19th and 20th Centuries was the highlight as I loved the impressionists. State Historical Museum
posted by rmurray Unbelievable building and a pretty spectacular colleciton to match. Priceless art works compete with prehistoric relics and folk ceramics also thrown in there. A feast! Metro
posted by vtomco I was absoutely staggered by the beauty of the metro stations! They have chandeliers, marble, mosaics, frescoes, scuptures and much more! Those communists sure had the right idea when it came to public transport!! Church of Christ the Saviour
posted by lbynum You can see the gleaming gold domes from across the city, and the close-up experience doesn't disappoint! Fabulous place, made all the more remarkable by the fact that it was demolished in 1933 and then rebuilt after the fall of comunism! |
Moscow is the home of Russia's new optimistic outlook, with designer shops, fashionable clubs and an alarming number of billionaires per square foot. Prices may be rising but Moscow hotels are still good value and taking cheap flights to Moscow offers a breath of fresh air for most outsiders. Travellers on Moscow flights will be in the air for between three and a half and five hours, with some Moscow flights taking longer to avoid congestion in the skies. A typical flight to Moscow will land at Domodedovo International Airport and there is a 26 mile trip into the centre awaiting new arrivals. Some visitors choose car hire from Moscow Airport, particularly if they have plans to venture further than the city limits. The metro system, with its beautiful stations and cheap tickets, will help you to get around within the city itself and there are also plenty of taxis if you want to head overground. Red Square, the Kremlin, Lenin's tomb and St Basil's Cathedral are just some of the many monuments and must-see locations within Moscow. In addition the Bolshoi Theatre hosts ballet and the Pushkin Fine Arts Museum adds to the cultural worth of the city. If you are willing to head off the beaten track then mainstream nightclubs, underground hangouts and top class restaurants are all on offer, with opulence there for those who can afford to seek it. Moscow is unlike most other international cities and all the better for it.Flights To Moscow
