Moscow by Night
One of the most popular tours of my guests is a walk through Moscow at night. This tour helps tourists to see Moscow not as a bustling hive, but as a majestic Empress full of ceremonial glory. Moscow night tour lasts nearly for three hours, but at the end of the walk it seems to be gone only an hour. During the excursion around Moscow at night, guests can enjoy not only the beauty of illumination, but also to learn more about the history of the city and its architecture, see legendary cathedrals, buildings and squares of Moscow, famous over the world, and to make great shots of attractions.
Night Moscow is full of magic. It is fascinating and enigmatic. If you decided to visit Russia in winter season, you will feel the fairytale atmoshere of the capital decorated with festive New Year and Christmas decorations. Walking through Moscow's streets at night you would never believe that just a few hours before you wandered through the same ones, only in the light of day. It is amazing how the city can change in the glow of night illumination. The incredible beauty of the city at night fascinates.
Excellent illumination turns the capital to the city of a fairy tale, dream-city of the children's book.
A wonderful excursion begins with perhaps the most famous places in the whole Moscow - Red Square , located at the north-eastern wall of the Kremlin. History of Russia's main square has its roots in the end of 15th century.
Nowadays, parades and celebrations of important events in the life of the Russian Federation are held at this famous square. At night Red Square stuns with its magnificent illuminations. Solemn and austere in daylight, it looks elegant and festive in the glow of night lights.
Patriarchy Bridge
Our path lies to the Patriarchy Bridge than. There is a beautiful view of the night Red Square, The Cathedral of Christ the Savior and the monument to Peter the Great at this point.
Built in Russian-Byzantine style in honor of the victory of the Russian people over Napoleon's troops the magnificent Cathedral of Christ the Savior seems to be a magical castle from a fairy tale, full of mysterious charm. Its white silhouette stands out brightly against the night sky. It seems that the walls of the Cathedral lit from within by the divine light. It is really a stunning effect.
Sparrow Hills
Next place that deserves special attention are the Sparrow Hills . There is a unique view on Moscow at night with bird's-eye view from this place - at least 85 meters over of the Moscow-River. Looking at the capital full of illumination, lit by millions of lights, stretching out at the feet, you feel on top of the world. It seems that you are a magician, surveying your luxurious land. You will have the opportunity to see a spectacular view of the Luzhniki stadium - the largest one in Russia and one of the largest stadiums in the world. This stadium was built in 1955-1956 years. It was here the Olympic Games took place and a lot of sport competitions and concerts of well-known artists and bands were conducted.
At night the stadium is light up along the whole circular length at night. It seems that the stadium is a great shining pearl in the illumination of thousands of lights. From this point of Moscow you can see the erecting buildings of Financial Center Moscow-City by projects of English architect Norman Foster. Some buildings are ready; some are in the process of erection. Completion is planned for 2015. We all look forward to completion to enjoy the magnificent view of monumental modern buildings at night in the rays of illumination.
All of Stalin's skyscrapers , erected in the mid 50-ies by the orders of Stalin are visible from the top of Sparrow Hills, including Moscow State University , known for its night laser lights. Each skyscraper has a unique lighting. Panorama from Sparrow Hills is sure to impress guests: dazzling shining of metropolis with millions of lights makes the capital an unforgettable and beautiful. Magic night in Moscow fascinates.
Novodevichy Convent
My guests are particularly impressed by the panorama of Novodevichy Convent .
This magnificent example of the Orthodox women's monastery was founded in 1524 by Prince Vasily III. There are a lot of stories and legends of Moscow connected with the monastery. It played a prominent role in the cultural life of Russia. Today Novodevichy Convent is both working monastery and a branch of the State Historical Museum. Night walk along the pond will fully appreciate the beauty of the Novodevichy convent at night. Rising above the dark surface of the water, it seems to be full of shining, light and peace. The lights of the five-headed Smolensky Cathedral and the monumental bell tower of the monastery illuminate the dark sky solemnly, cutting through the darkness and giving hope.
Victory Park
Three hours driving and walking tour ends in Victory Park on Kutuzov Avenue with a stop near the Arch of Triumph.
Victory Park was opened in Moscow in 1995 and is coincided to 50 years of victory over the fascist invaders. The original nighttime illumination of Victory Monument will not leave any spectator indifferent.
Excellent coverage of the Arch of Triumph on Kutuzov Avenue, built in honor of the victory over Napoleon in 1812, will complement this impression.
The tour will introduce you to such streets and squares as Tverskaya and New Arbat streets, Pushkinskaya Square, Gagarin’s Square, Lubyanka Square, and October Square. Also you will see such famous buildings in the night illumination, as White House, Former KGB, Stalin’s Skyscrapers, Old building of French Embassy, Bolshoy Theater and many others.
Moscow at night is a truly fascinating spectacle. City Lights beckon and create a holiday atmosphere. If you have seen Moscow at night - you looked into her very heart, saw her real - a beautiful, bright, exotic queen.

Ultimate Dog Sledding Tour and Meeting with 120 Huskies
Languages available: French, English, Spanish, Russian (choice during the check-out)
Meet your guide in the morning and get onboard a minibus to go outside of Russian capital to turn your day into a snowy marvel. Your destination point is one of the biggest dog kennels in Russia, located in a picturesque area on the shore of Moscow River.
Once you are there, the fairytale starts with a warm welcome of Natalia, the owner of the Village, who is passionate about looking after huskies for 10 years. She will tell you about the wonderful history of northern dogs’ breeds and about their adventurous lives next to great explorers. Right after inspiring stories and warm tea, time will come to meet the dogs. This place is not a zoo, it is a place where abandoned and lost dogs found their home, where they can train and eat properly, and, of course, where they can show their absolute love for humans.
After hugging 120 huskies, you will be shown how to prepare a sled by the professional “kayur” (the instructor who is driving the dog sled). And here your adventure starts.
4-Kilometer package (capacity 12 people):
You go for a 4km ride in the heart of the snow-covered forest alongside the river. If you are a big group, you'll go separately (in groups of 3 to 4): while some go for a ride on the sleds, others enjoy their time tubing from the hill, walking around, sitting by the fireplace near the tipi glamping area or visiting the farm with goats, geese, chickens and black Vietnamese pigs.
17-Kilometer package (capacity 6 people):
You go for a 17km ride in the nature (about 2h). You will cross the woods on sleds, ride along the river, and will even stop for a hot tea and some cakes in the middle of the excursion: the best way to enjoy this unique dog-sledding experience!
When your trip is done, Natalia will welcome you to enjoy a traditional Russian lunch with hot herbal tea and freshly cooked “oladushki” (Russian pancakes). Moreover, in a café you will be able to buy some homemade cookies and souvenirs.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: This tour requires a certain amount of snow as the sleds can be used only on snow tracks, which are prepared especially for dog-sledding. If there is not enough snow, we do another popular Russian activity : Dog Trekking. You go for a 5-km walk in the nature with a husky-dog in front strapped to you. A great experience shared with the dog you’ll be going with!
