привет from Russia. As you guys know, I travelled to Moscow last week and Ireally had an unforgettable time. I’ve visited so many beautiful spots and places I want to share with you. Today’s blog post is going to be my personal travel guide for Moscow with insights on where to stay, where to eat and what to see.
To enter Moscow, you will definitely need a visa. Make sure you apply for one well in advance. During periods of high demand, it will take up to 2 weeks until you receive it. You can apply for your visa via agencies like http://visa-plus.de.
Public transport is rather cheap in Moscow. The most popular method of travel is the metro. It allows you to get to pretty much anywhere in the city, especially during peak travel periods. Although it is the fastest way to get around, it is definitely not the easiest, when you don’t speak Russian. I found it almost impossible to travel by metro, because there was no information in Englisch. I prefer to take an Uber or a Wheely. It is super easy and you can already book certain rides in advance ( very convenient for airport rides).
Whenever I travel to Moscow, I love staying at the Hyatt Ararat. It is the perfect hotel after long sightseeing and shopping days. It is situated in the very heart of the city, a short walk away from the historical sights, such as the Kremlin, Red Square and the Bolshoi Theatre. I always like to stay at hotels that are located in the city center. It is way more fun to discover a new place by foot.
Nice hotels in the city center:
Although these hotels are all very luxurious, prices in Moscow are still quite affordable.
When it comes to shopping, Moscow is pretty diverse. It has something to offer for every budget from high-fashion brands to street fashion. Over the last couple of years though, the attitude towards shopping has changed. The city is undergoing a fashion and style transformation. A younger fashion and streetwear scene is taking over and is experiencing an extreme hype. Young Russian brands and new concept stores are definitely on the rise.
Concept stores you have to visit:
Typical Russian shopping malls:
When it comes to food, Moscow offers great culinary opportunities and an interesting cuisine. The city has understood the demand for healthy and fresh food and always offers a separate menu for vegetarians and vegans.
During my stay, I visited one of Moscow’s main sights, the Bolshoi Theatre. It was a very special and unforgettable night.The Bolshoi is the most famous and important theatre in whole Russia that holds ballet and opera performances. It is the pride of all Russia and by far the biggest and oldest ballet company in the world. Seeing the ballet at the Bolshoi definitely is an elementary part of a trip to Moscow, as well as visiting the Kremlin , Red Square and St. Basil Cathedral.
I had an amazing time and can’t wait to travel to Moscow again. Have you guys ever been to Moscow? Let me know!
