Moscow Vacation Travel Guide

Your trip to Moscow, Russia is bound to be a special one. From the multicolored spires of St. Basil’s Cathedral to the sturdy red walls of the Kremlin, there is much to see and do in this stunning city.

Named after the Moskva River—which flows through the city—Moscow has long been at the forefront of the creative world. Tour Moscow to follow in the footsteps of Tolstoy and Chekhov, among others, and join in the sense of pride Russia feels for its literary tradition. Moscow has named a number of its parks and open spaces after its poets and authors, so take a break at the fountain in Pushkin Square, or rest beneath the leafy trees in Gorky Park. When you’ve gotten your fill of literary splendor, head to the Memorial Museum of Cosmonauts, where you can learn about the Soviet Union’s efforts to reach the stars and the epic space race that lasted from 1955 to 1972.

Moscow is a city of creativity and innovation, but is also very much aware of its own history; as such, a haunting part of any Moscow sightseeing is a visit to the Fallen Monument Park. After the fall of the Soviet Union, countless statues and monuments were removed from their pedestals and moved to this park. Over the years, more modern artwork and sculptures have been added, turning the park into a strange, yet peaceful graveyard of former icons.

What is your favorite part of Moscow?

  3. a beautiful city but filled by cold and arrogant people.  their guns and their architectures are the only good things which came from russians.

  7. Only Poles invaded Moscow and took over Kremlin thats why i like Moscow the most of all cities 🙂 Greetings 🙂 Stay Strong!

  9. Lovely, stunning, freewheeling capital city. Did you now that many of the parents in Moscow ignore traffic laws with their children and that many of these parents are civil servants? Youth in Russia deserve law-abiding, ethical and conscientious civil servants. Their future depends upon it. Imagine law-abiding streets and adults in Moscow. Imagine!

  10. A Moscow, in grand nombre de parents ignorant les regles sur la circulation lorsque leurs enfants sont avec eux, et bon nombre de ces parents sont des fonctionnaires? En Russia, les jeunes meritent d'etre entoures de fonctionnaires responsables, consciencieux et respectueux des lois; leur avenir en depend. Si nous doublons les amendes routieres dans les capitals, nous verrons apparaitre des rues et des adultes respectueux de la loi, ce qu'on attend depuis longtemps a Moscow. L'organisation Mondaile de la Sante, Bureau de Securite Routiere, estime que le respect des regles sur la circulation est souhaitable depuis longtemps en Russia. Que pensez-vous?

  14. WOW 11 BILLION PEOPLE DEAR GOD MASSIVE POPULATION BOOST Russian Government:we will pay reward for every baby born we need to get more soldiers that take down the United States so people start having babies the maximum amount of babies you can have 1 million per household will pay you 1 million Rubles every baby

  18. The person who made this video does not even imagine what kind of service it provides to Western people. Politicians mislead people. The Russians know how to fight, but they hate to do it. It is necessary to try very hard to start a war with the Russians. Do not let politicians mislead you. Tell people about Russia, the Russians also love their children, their country, we do not need shots, explosions, death.

  19. So beautiful and lots of historic and cultural places to see. I would love to see it in person in the near future. ☆♡☆

  20. The problem is that in Russia so only one city lives like this.
    In Russia there is a saying "Moscow is not Russia", because this country is in ruin and people are beggars. Just to let you know.

  24. 好漂亮的城市!拍攝者的用心看得見。
    其實我們的寶島台灣更美!如果大家能夠好好珍惜愛護這個美麗的福爾摩莎的話，相信咱的台灣會繼續在世界上發光發熱!
    發展觀光產業是台灣未來的出路。
