While Russian culture may appear to be tricky to penetrate on first arrival, visitors to this fascinating city will soon feel the warm hospitality of its residents. English is not widely spoken in all districts and the roads signs in the Cyrillic alphabet may get you lost more than once, but when it comes to evening entertainment, drinking vodka and festivities, the Russians know how to have a good time.

Located in the west of the Russian Federation, Moscow is Russia’s capital city and the largest and most visited metropolis in the country. Best known for its historical significance and its iconic landmarks such as the Kremlin and St Basil’s Cathedral, the city has modernised considerable in the past decade and is fast losing its former Soviet appearance and communist traits.
Moscow Zoo
Both educational and entertaining, children will love the Moscow Zoo, where they can get up close with all types of birds, mammals, reptiles and more. With creatures from all corners of the earth on display and fascinating exhibits, the zoo provides spacious enclosures for its residents and a welcoming place in which to admire the animals.
Red Square, Cathedral of St Basil and the Kremlin
The city’s best known square, which contains the two most prominent attractions in Moscow, is the Red Square. Having taken its name from the Russian word for ‘red’, which also once meant ‘beautiful’, this huge cobbled area should be number one on ever visitors’ itinerary. The square is encompassed by the Kremlin, St Basil’s Cathedral, the ornate GUM department store and Kazan Cathedral. The addition of the Lenin Mausoleum in 1924 has ensured a continuous flow of visitors, who flock to see the Russian hero’s embalmed corpse.
Normal Moscow business hours are from 09:00 to 18:00, Monday to Friday, with most businesses being closed on Saturdays and Sundays. The larger department stores and shops typically stay open until 19:00 or 20:00, with only some closing on Sundays.
very, very kind staf. Clean rooms, and one of the onliest hotels with a balcony. Quiet area and good service (shuttlebus to centre). Anyhow a perfect hotel to stay...
