The 17 Best Gifts for Groomsmen

By Hannah Morrill and Samantha Schoech

Those who are standing shoulder to shoulder with you on your big day have seen you through a lot (insert montage of first jobs, road trips, and questionable double dates here). And even though no gift can encompass an entire relationship, your nuptials are an excellent time to offer gratitude. Cost is up to you, but wedding-party gifts should be factored into your overall budget. The most important thing is to choose something that’s practical, unique, and shows you considered each person’s individuality.

Monogrammed money clip

Alari Design Sterling Silver Money Clip

This low-profile sterling silver money clip is perfectly pocket-sized. And it can be custom -engraved to include a drawing, signature, or special design.

Buying Options

Money clips have a certain elegant, high-roller vibe—James Bond doesn’t have a bulky wallet—and they’re just plain handy for anyone who wants to keep it sleek and simple. The Alari Design Sterling Silver Money Clip is just a half-inch wide and two inches long, and it comes hand-engraved with the recipient’s initials, name, or monogram. The clip’s interior is artfully hammered, adding more traction so bills don’t slip and slide. As long as he doesn’t lose it, this clip will last forever. And he’s sure to use it way more often than a pair of cufflinks.

Vintage flare

Graffeo Cravatte Vintage Collection

Handmade in Italy from Como silk, these classic ties are woven with prints and patterns from the 1980s and ’90s.

It’s true that neckties aren’t as de rigueur as they once were ( sigh ). Yet every man should own at least one (for weddings at least), and it should be beautiful. The ties in Graffeo’s Vintage Collection are hand-cut and sewn in Italy from Como silk, but the patterns are what make these ties particularly swoon-worthy. The throwback 1980s and 1990s prints are both elegant and a little playful. And since there are roughly 145 different silks to choose from—from wildly flowered to classically houndstooth —there is something to suit nearly any taste. We have a particular fondness for the jaguar hiding in the tangle of multicolored flowers . Don’t let the somewhat inelegant website fool you; the ties ship for free from Sicily, and they arrive in four to seven days.

Fans Idea Custom White Navy Pinstripe Navy Baseball Jersey

Customize these classic button-up, pinstripe baseball jerseys with stitched or printed names and numbers.

Your groomsmen are basically your wedding teammates, so they may as well look the part. Fans Idea’s moisture-wicking, 100% polyester pinstripe baseball jerseys can be customized with stitched names on the back and the front. We’re picturing “Team Groom” on the front, with the groomsman’s nickname on the back, but the possibilities are endless. Other sports—like basketball , football , and soccer —are represented too, depending on your gang’s interests. Plan in advance, though—with shipping and processing, the jerseys can take more than two full weeks to arrive.

Wrist bling

Mejuri Curb Chain Bracelet

This chunky curb chain comes in three lengths, and in titanium or sterling silver.

Men’s jewelry is making a major comeback, and chunky chains, which are especially popular, have the added benefit of being a classic. The Mejuri Curb Chain Bracelet is made of 92.5% pure sterling silver (it also comes in titanium). It’s 5½ millimeters thick, so it’s weighty but not too cumbersome, and it has a slinky, snaky feel. If he’s more of a neck-chain guy, we also like the matching Curb Chain Necklace .

Classic coziness

The Vermont Flannel Co. Men's Classic Flannel Shirt

These handsewn flannels are made in Vermont from organic, yarn-dyed cotton, and they get cozier with age.

It’s always a good sign when something has been around, virtually unchanged, for decades. The 100% organic cotton Vermont Flannel Classic Men’s Shirt is just such an item. And it’s the perfect gift if you happen to be tying the knot on a crisp fall day or, say, on a mountain top. Hand-sewn in Vermont from exceptionally soft flannel, these shirts just get better the more they are worn, and that means your buddies will have a useful keepsake for years. The tightly woven, yarn-dyed fabric doesn’t shrink or fade as easily as other cottons. If your groomsmen prefer a snugger fit—and they might, since we found the button-ups run large—there’s the Fitted Flannel version. And if your groomsperson is a groomswoman, there’s a version for her , too.

A taste of summer

Frog Hollow Farm Ice Cream Sandwiches

The organic fruit that Frog Hollow Farm is famous for is channeled into these delicately flavored, fine-tuned ice cream sandwiches.

If your pal isn’t into material things—or if he simply enjoys deliciously sweet delights—a dozen creamy, fruit-forward Frog Hollow Farm Ice Cream Sandwiches could be just the ticket. All of the ice cream fillings are made from sun-ripened fruit grown in Frog Hollow’s California orchards, and the flavors include apricot, peach, pear caramel, and pluot (but flavors may vary depending on the season). Everything is sandwiched between buttery, vanilla-scented wafers. They run a hefty $13 a sandwich, but our besotted kitchen staffers swear these grown-up grade-school treats are worth it.

Skagen Aaren Silicone Watch 41mm

This stylish and versatile minimalist watch is under $100, and there are no bells and whistles, which is part of the charm.

As much as a groom can dream, individual Rolexes likely aren’t in your wedding budget. But for under $100, each of your groomsmen could receive a sleek timepiece to wear on your wedding day and long afterward. With a smooth silicone bracelet and aluminum case, the Skagen Aaren watch comes in all three primary colors, plus light blue, inspired by the poppy townhouses of the Nyhavn district in Copenhagen. It’s the black model, though, that we think would make the most versatile gift. The whisker-thin hands glide smoothly along the minimalist face, and the whole kit is water resistant for up to 30 minutes.

VistaPrint Flexfit 6-Panel Baseball Cap

This company offers quality caps, with tons of custom options and a straightforward interface.

Nothing says “we’re best buds” quite like an inside-joke hat, and VistaPrint’s Custom Baseball Caps  are high-quality and surprisingly affordable. Encompassing more than 10 hat colors, nearly 50 choices for embroidery thread, and dozens of fonts and text sizes, VistaPrint’s options are almost overwhelming. We’ve had good luck keeping it simple, like on this royal blue cap with white thread and Arial font (which Michael Hession, director of photography, ordered). The price decreases a tiny bit if you order in batches; individual nicknames could make a great day-of-the-wedding picture.

Slim wallet

Leatherology Thin Bifold Wallet

This beautifully simple bifold wallet is straightforward and functional, and it’s not as expensive as it looks and feels.

For a slightly more traditional, upscale gift that still feels personal, we like Leatherology’s Thin Bifold Wallet —one of our favorite slim wallets . (Consider it a bonus that wallets won’t be bulging under tuxes in your wedding photos.) For $10 to $15, you can add a monogram of up to four characters in gold, silver, rose gold, or a colorless debossing. Plus, since there are a handful of leather colors to choose from, you can design a Leatherology wallet perfectly suited to every guy’s taste.

A sleek backpack

Everlane The ReNew Transit Backpack

Elegant form and utilitarian features (like the magnetic top closure and a plethora of pockets) make this wear-anywhere bag our favorite laptop backpack. But it isn’t backed by a warranty.

Elaine Swann told us that travel-related gifts are good bets for wedding-party members because those attendants will eventually find themselves on the road for work, pleasure, and … more weddings. Upgrade those journeys with one of our new favorite laptop backpacks from Everlane . With its sleek silhouette and subdued color options, the ReNew Transit bag packs a lot of functionality (including a magnetic top flap and front laptop sleeve) into an upscale design. And here’s a fun gift idea: Leave one brimming with snacks, jerky, Advil, and drinks in the hotel room of each attendant. If you’re all traveling to a destination, send the bags out beforehand—this one is the ideal size for a carry-on, and it has a pass-through strap to attach to a rolling suitcase.

Shuffling succotash

L.L.Bean Men’s Wicked Good Moccasins

These super-soft, warm, and durable moccasins cost more than other sheepskin shearling slippers, but they’re fluffier and more breathable.

After posing for photos, doing the “ Cupid Shuffle ” in oxfords, and closing down the local pub, your groomsmen will likely want to “ Electric Slide ” into something more comfortable. The L.L.Bean Men’s Wicked Good Moccasins will prove to be a cozy godsend on the night of the wedding and many lazy Sundays afterward. Wirecutter has spent years testing over three-dozen models , but none have been able to beat out the Wicked Good Moccasins (which come in six color options). Made with suede shearling, they feel warm but not sweat-inducing, their tight stitching resists tearing, and their rubber bottoms are durable enough for quick jaunts outside. And in the unlikely event that these slippers don’t hold up, they’re backed by a one-year guarantee.

A heartfelt thank-you

Crane Personalized Notes & Cards

This refined stationery has formal features, such as colored borders and envelope liners—ideal for the aspiring gentleman.

It’s not often that dudes (or anyone, for that matter) will put pen to page to express a sincere appreciation of friendship. And yet, above anything material, a thoughtful thank-you note is sure to be welcomed and treasured. Senior editor Courtney Schley highly recommends the monogrammed sets from heritage paper maker Crane . And these sets have a particularly sharp look, with options for colored borders and plaid envelope liners. If you really want to customize the perfect card for each person, though, search Etsy or Society6 using specific key terms, like the name of their favorite snack food or an inside joke. Whatever route you take, be sure to gather your thoughts prior to the big day—words of gratitude land better when they aren’t jotted 10 minutes before you’re walking down the aisle.

Kent Wang Sunglasses Aviator

Testers found these aviators to be especially comfortable and notably compact, and they come with a two-year warranty.

Whether you’re hosting a beach wedding or a mountainside affair—or you simply anticipate that your groomsmen could be a bit photosensitive the morning after—a stylish pair of shades will keep them smiling through all conditions. We’ve tested many styles of shades , and these sunglasses from Kent Wang were the most impressive among the aviators (a classically cool, universally flattering shape). Not only do they come with a generous two-year warranty, but your groomsmen will have 60 days to return them, no questions asked (except for one, from us: “How dare you?”). They look good on a variety of faces, even those with lower nose bridges. And you can select from among three different frame colors: gold, gunmetal, and silver. Extra points if you can snap a shot of everyone wearing them when you’re all dressed up.

Charging forward

TravelCard Plus

This power bank is one of the smallest and lightest we’ve tested. It has a powerful USB-C PD port, built-in USB-C and Lightning cables, and a 3,000 mAh rated capacity. But it recharges slower than our other picks.

Smartphones have the annoying tendency of dying just when you need them most—like when you’re running late to your best friend’s wedding and you need an Uber five minutes ago. Spare your favorite dudes the drama by giving them one of our picks for best portable chargers . The pocket-sized TravelCard Plus weighs just under 3 oz and comes in a bunch of fun colors. Its USB-C PD port, built-in USB-C cable, and built-in Lightning cable can fast-charge most smartphones or other handheld devices.

Smiling socks

DivvyUp Custom Face Socks

These high-quality custom socks are exceedingly cute, but order up a size so the faces don’t stretch out too much.

Equal parts ridiculous and useful, socks that feature a favorite face are sure to make your groomsmen laugh or cringe. And, happily, DivvyUp Custom Face Socks are made from a polyester, nylon, and spandex blend that’s surprisingly durable. The design process is easy. Upload an image—a photo of you could be funny or even a choice snap of each guy. And then choose background color, print, and size. Err on the side of a bigger sock; faces can distort when they stretch. If your guys can pull it together to wear the socks to your wedding, give your photographer a heads-up to add a sock shot to the list.

A taste of home

Brooklyn Bagel & Coffee Company Par-Baked Bagels Dozen

These Brooklyn-style bagels ship for free and arrive par-baked, for an impressively dense and chewy texture.

Inimitable Big Apple bagels (like those from Brooklyn Bagel & Coffee Company ), the cheesesteaks that fueled exams week in college, the best key lime pie from that memorable spring break—nothing pays homage to excellent memories quite like food. And no service delivers a wider range of excellent gustatory experiences than Goldbelly , a website that expertly ships hundreds of local delicacies to any location in the country. Search by city or state to find restaurants or bakeries in places that are meaningful to you and your friends. Or just pick something awesome, like deep-dish pies from Pequod’s Pizza , a favorite Chicago indulgence, or the famous Brown Butter Lobster Rolls from Eventide Oyster Co. , in Portland, Maine.

Mosaic Foods Subscription

These vegetable-forward modern frozen dinners are tasty, satisfying, and free of sugar and artificial ingredients.

For the clean-eating warriors, a seven-day supply of healthy, prepackaged meals can erase the sins of your wedding weekend. Unlike our recommended meal-delivery kits , which require preparation, the all-vegetarian and all-vegan meals made by Mosaic Foods need only a zap in the microwave. And despite arriving frozen, those curries, oat bowls, and soups taste surprisingly fresh and flavorful. Senior editor Catherine Kast said she sometimes orders the family meal kit to share with her husband and small daughter. And she said even though the meals are relatively healthy, they’re also delicious.

The 16 Best Gifts for the Groom to Celebrate the Big Day

Brides / Amelia Manley

When you're in the midst of wedding planning , it's easy to remember special presents for the people who are helping to pull together the event. The mother or father of the bride or groom, the maid of honor or the best man, and the bridal party—these are all integral figures who deserve thanks and appreciation for their roles in your wedding. But what about your partner? Wedding tradition calls for a gift exchange between the newlyweds in the days leading up to the big event. However, shopping for your new groom or bride can be tough. It's a big task to find something that truly expresses your love and appreciation on such a momentous occasion.

When shopping for a groom's gift, there are two main routes to consider: a sentimental gift or a useful one. (You may find even find a gift that encapsulates both). Sentimental gifts are an ode to your relationship—think maps signifying the history of your love or a personalized piece of wall art that calls back to your first date. Meanwhile, useful gifts are functional items that will help your partner beyond the wedding day. This can include things like a luxe weekend bag he'll sport on your honeymoon or a big-ticket item he's been coveting like a high-tech sound system or a new state-of-the-art watch.

To help you find the perfect gift for your perfect guy, we researched various gifts with these features in mind. For stylish accessories he can wear on the wedding day, we love the GeorgieDesigns Personalized Cufflinks and the Tissot V8 Swissmatic Bracelet Watch . For a thoughtful gift that you can put on display in your home, we recommend giving the LovetoArtCo. Three-Heart Map to your sweet husband-to-be.

Read on for the best gifts for grooms.

GeorgieDesigns Personalized Cufflinks

This set of monogrammed cufflinks combines practicality and sentimentality in one simple gift. Not only can you have them designed with a personal message, but you can have it done in your own handwriting for an extra-special touch. They're made from durable stainless steel and you'll have your choice of circle and square shape with steel, gold, rose gold, and gunmetal finishes. We can’t think of a sweeter gift for a groom to wear on the wedding day.

LovetoArtCo. Three-Heart Map

First date, engagement day, and wedding day—map out your love story with this sweet art piece. Each heart shows the locations some of the most significant milestones in your relationship occurred. Choose between three sizes (as well as framed or unframed options) and frames can be customized by finish so it can be matched to any decor. Your groom will be touched by such a thoughtful gift.

Finch and Cotter Custom Star Map Poster

If you love your groom to the moon and back, this customizable constellation map will leave him starry eyed (pun intended). Pick the date and location (we suggest the day you met or got engaged), and this poster will feature a view of the night sky from that day and place. Choose between three sizes, framed and unframed options, and customize the font color and style. Each map is printed on matte paper with archival ink, so you know it's made to last.

TealsPrairie Etched Scotch Whiskey Decanter Bottle

This vintage-inspired scotch bottle set is perfect for a shot with the groomsmen on the big day, but it will also keep your groom happy for years to come. If they already have their own designated glasses, you can purchase just the decanter. Otherwise, it has two-glass or four-glass set options. Customize it with his name for a personal touch—it’ll appear engraved on the wooden box and etched in the glassware.

Minted Heart Marks the Spot Custom Map

Melt your husband-to-be's heart with this custom map art print, which pinpoints the location of your wedding. Customize the color theme and frame, then personalize it with your names, wedding date, and venue location. Bonus: it's a gift that you'll get to enjoy too.

Image 3D Create Your Own Reel Viewer

If you're looking for an affordable gift that will still pack a lot of sentimental value, try this personalized reel viewer. Simply send in your favorite photos of the two of you since the beginning of your relationship, and you’ll receive a made-to-order reel and viewer ready for viewing. The viewer comes in red, blue, black, and white color options, and you can opt to add in a reel redemption code to make another one later on (for your anniversary, father's day, and beyond).

New York Times Custom Baseball Book

New York Times

If your groom is an avid MLB fan, this gift will be a home run. Dipping into the New York Times archives, this book is a collection of articles covering the most significant sports moments of a baseball team’s history. Pick your groom’s favorite team and have the cover embossed with their name for a personal touch.

Tissot V8 Swissmatic Bracelet Watch

Your groom will never have an excuse for being late with this stunner on their wrist. Crafted out of stainless steel with a sapphire crystal face, this watch manages to feel both classic and modern. But it gets even better—it’s also water-resistant for up to 330 feet, so they can swim or shower with it on. It also comes with a two-year warranty, so you can rest assured your purchase is fully protected.

Mark & Graham Harvey Leather Briefcase

Mark & Graham

This handsome briefcase carries it all—notebooks, laptops, pens, smartphones–you name it, there’s a place for it. But it’s just as gorgeous as it is functional, fashioned out of pebbled leather with a removable shoulder strap. There’s no doubt it’ll make your S.O. look smart and stylish heading into work. You can choose between black, espresso, and chocolate finishes, and you can get it monogrammed to add a personal touch.

Mark & Graham GrowlerWerks uKeg

If your groom is a beer connoisseur, they'll appreciate this this stainless steel mini keg that keeps beer fresh and cold for up to two weeks. A dispenser tap and copper finish give it old-school brewery vibes, while a monogram adds a personal touch. A stainless steel finish is also available, and each mini keg is available in 64 or 128 ounces. Make sure to give this to your groom after the wedding and not before—the groom and groomsmen might have too much fun with it.

Made Leather Co. Navigator Duffle

Made Leather Co.

Sleek and sexy, this gorgeous duffle bag is everything your groom needs for a weekend away with you. Made of goat leather and crafted by artisans in Morocco, it has room for everything from T-shirts and sweaters to an on-the-go shaving kit. The crossover strap is adjustable, but it can also be removed if they prefer to carry it by the handles instead. The interior is made from durable suede so this duffle will last your groom through your honeymoon and beyond.

Revel Avila Añejo

 Courtesy of Revel 

If your groom is a tequila or mezcal aficionado, they'll love this unique spirit that's crafted from 100 percent pure agave in the Morales region of Mexico. Aged for 24 months in a French oak barrel and triple distilled, this golden elixir has heady notes of cardamom, caramel, and vanilla. Your groom can take a shot of this on the big day and mix it into homemade cocktails later on.

Sonos One Smart Speaker

Made with Google Assistant and Alexa built-in, these smart speakers are great for streaming music, audiobooks, movies, and more. Even better, it can sync up with other Sonos speakers to create a full home audio system. It's equipped with voice control and emits plenty of bass.

Uncommon Goods Forever Together Photo Coasters

Uncommon Goods

To add a sentimental touch to your groom's favorite drinking glass with these adorable coasters. Pick four of your favorite photos as a couple and they'll be transformed into tumbled marble coasters with a cork backing. You can further the personalization with different captions on each—we recommend adding your names on one, your engagement date on another, and so forth. These coasters are built to last, and your groom can use them for a pre-wedding ceremony drink on the big day and any night after.

Breville Pizzaiolo Pizza Oven

Pizza night just got that much better. This high tech tabletop oven recreates the conditions of a wood-fired pizza oven and turns out extra-crispy pies in only two minutes (and no need to stoke a fire!). Get the toppings ready.

The Engraver Engraved Silver Flask

This modern stainless steel flask keeps drinks chilled and portable—and you can get his initials (or a message) laser custom engraved on it. Pair with one of his favorite spirits to complete the gift.

What to Look for in Gifts for Grooms

Sentimentality.

Finding the perfect gift for your favorite guy can be a challenge. It is your wedding day, after all! For a special token on your wedding day, you can't go wrong with a sentimental gift that represents your relationship and celebrates your love.

Sentimentality can also take the form of an experience that you can share together, whether it's a weekend trip back to the place where you first met or got engaged or a special dinner at your favorite restaurant. And remember— a thoughtful, handwritten card can be one of the most meaningful gestures (and definitely should be included with any gift!).

Customization

A personalized gift is always a good option—it shows that you've put thought, time, and effort to customize something that's just for him. Go for a gift with his monogram like a gorgeous leather tote, a pair of high-end cufflinks (that can also be worn for the wedding ceremony), or a custom box for storing his valuables. For something that's both personalized and sentimental, have a watch engraved with a sweet message or a piece of art that highlights his favorite song or lines from a poem.

You might also consider a gift that he can use on the wedding day or after all of the festivities are over. From a high-end bottle of tequila to new speakers for your home, a useful and practical gift is something that any groom will appreciate. Make sure to factor in the item's durability and price—f you opt for a practical gift, you want it to be something that can last him a long time.

It's a wedding tradition that the couple exchange gifts on or leading up to the wedding day. It makes for a sentimental moment that celebrates your love before heading to the altar. However, every couple is different, and depending on your preferences and budget, you might both mutually agree to forgo exchanging wedding gifts. Just be sure to have that conversation before the big day!

Something sentimental or useful is the way to go for a wedding day gift for your groom. You know him better than anyone, so take his own interests into consideration. If he loves men's fashion, gift him with customized cufflinks or other accessories to wear for the ceremony. If he's a spirits aficionado, customized drinking glasses and a bottle of his favorite whiskey make for an excellent choice.

Let's face it: Finding the perfect present for one guy is challenging enough. So how are you supposed to shop for a whole wedding party of fellas? Well, good news—you don't have to because we did! With the help of Mark Hanratty, the founder of Swanky Badger , an online groomsmen gift store, we've rounded up the best groomsmen gift ideas to say thanks to your crew.

Whether you're seeking distinct gifts for each member or a one-size-fits-all token of appreciation, our list has you covered. From timeless alcohol-related presents to sports paraphernalia and elegant accessories for their formal attire, these groomsmen gifts strike an ideal balance between personal and practical. ( Psst , these thank-you gift ideas totally work for groomsmen proposals , too, if you're still early in the wedding planning process. Kudos to you for already thinking of your guys!)

In this article:

What to Get for Groomsmen Gifts

The best groomsmen gifts under $20, the best groomsmen gifts under $50, the best groomsmen gifts under $100.

Before you whip out your credit card, it's important to know what you're looking for in a groomsman gift. "At Swanky Badger, our most popular groomsmen gifts all share two characteristics," says Hanratty. The trick? They're practical and personal. "It can be as simple as having their name or initials engraved on the gift, or you can go as far as incorporating a message on the gift thanking them for being there for you for all those years."

And custom engravings aren't the only way to make a gift feel special. Choosing something that shows your guys just how well you know them is equally thoughtful, like a lapel pin that displays their love for golf or a pocket square embroidered with their furry best friend.

How you present your gift can also add a personal touch to the gesture. "In an ideal world, you should try to get a moment alone with each guy and have a little one-to-one chat to let them know how much you appreciate them, and then present the gift," says Hanratty. Alternatively, he suggests using the rehearsal dinner as an opportunity to publicly say a few words about each groomsman, and then hand over their presents. If you feel more comfortable putting pen to paper, that's okay too. Include a groomsman card with a thank-you message with each gift to give the same sentiment.

We've got ideas on our list for every groomsman (and every groom's budget). Starting with options for $20 and below, shop our favorite affordable presents for filling goodie bags and gifting solo.

The Best Wedding Gifts for Your Spouse-to-Be

Suprise your bride or groom with one of these thoughtful gifts on your wedding day.

Related To:

Exchanging wedding day gifts with your bride or groom provides a prime opportunity to remind them that you are thinking of them as you suit up for the day. A small, heartfelt note is enough to melt their hearts, but spoiling your soon-to-be spouse is always fun (as is getting spoiled in return!). If you’re trying to figure out the perfect wedding day gift for your bride or groom-to-be, we've got you covered. My first bit of advice? Don’t overthink it. You can find peace in that your betrothed is poised to receive, quite literally, the best gift possible on the big day: spending the rest of their life with you! Anything else is just a bonus. Remember that you know them better than anyone else and use that intel to your advantage. What hobbies does your groom discuss with you for hours on end? What fine-jewelry retailer account did your bride send you via direct message on Instagram? How many occasions (in the last week alone) has your groom dropped the suggestion of heading to the animal shelter after tying the knot? What’s one little luxury that would take your home date nights or honeymoon travels to the next level? Let the answers to these questions marinate, then shop my curated gift guide with 38 failproof wedding day gifts in the links below.

For the Life of the Party

Celebrate your bride or groom-to-be and the love you share with a spirited token for the occasion. You can take a traditional approach with an engraved decanter and glasses set or go contemporary with a pastel stemware set that doubles as art when parked on your open-air kitchen shelves.

For the classic type.

If you’re unsure what to gift your bride or groom, remember: the classics never disappoint. Spoil your sweetheart with timeless tokens they can wear on the big day and wear for the rest of their lives, like traditional silver cufflinks, a dainty diamond necklace, a pearl bracelet or a custom-engraved watch.

Another idea? Wedding day perfume. Before our wedding , my husband and I spent an afternoon at the mall and sampled tons of colognes and perfumes at different department stores. We gifted each other our favorite scents and waited to open the bottles until our wedding day. Each time we put on our fragrances, we time-travel back to our big day four years ago.

Spoil them with the gift that keeps on giving with gear that speaks to their competitive spirit. Nostalgic board games reimagined with luxurious materials are phenomenal and will become a keepsake you’ll look forward to pulling out for years to come. A chic monogrammed tennis tote or golf bag is guaranteed to earn you some love; lawn games, wall darts and a sports-inspired coffee table book will do the trick, too.

Do you owe the bride and groom a gift if you aren’t attending the wedding experts weigh in.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Wedding season is very nearly upon us — with many people already planning ahead for the spring, summer and even fall months.

With the prices of such luxury experiences as travel, wedding attire and gift-giving still rising, a new debate has hit the internet. 

Do you need to send a gift to the newlyweds if you aren’t attending their wedding? 

Users have gone on the subreddit thread “r/wedding” over the years to seek advice — and to voice their opinions. 

One user took a stance on the matter when declining a wedding invite, telling the Reddit community that a gift should not be a requirement. 

“If you’re not attending, any monetary gift is a bonus and not a requirement,” said user “Serious-Yam6730.”

Another user wrote, “If you’re not attending, then any kind of gift is very generous. We’re in the U.K. and the only gifts sent to us by people not attending were from those who live overseas,” according to user “ki5aca.”

Although many social media posters agreed that sending a gift is the polite thing to do assuming people have the monetary means to do so, many also said it isn’t a necessity for those not attending the wedding.

“I don’t expect anything from people that aren’t coming,” wrote “metsgirl289” — presumably a bride-to-be.

Etiquette expert weighs in

Florida-based etiquette expert Jacqueline Whitmore told Fox News Digital it’s always a kind gesture to send a gift, even if you’re skipping the event. 

“It’s considered thoughtful to send a gift even if you can’t attend the wedding,” she said this week.

“This gesture shows your love and friendship and honors the couple’s special day,” she said.

Never miss a story.

Whitmore said if finances are a concern when it comes to giving something, then there is another way to go.

“If you’re not close to the couple, or if sending a gift would be a financial strain, send a heartfelt card with your best wishes instead,” she suggested. 

If you do choose to send a gift regardless of whether you attend the wedding, Whitmore said the amount spent should depend on your relationship with the couple and your personal budget. 

“A common approach is to cover the cost of your plate at the wedding, but this is no longer valid since most people have no idea what their meal (and drinks) might cost,” she noted. 

She suggested a guideline of spending $25-$50 per wedding gift for a distant relative or acquaintance, $50-$150 on a gift for a friend or relative, and $100-$200 or more on a close friend or close relative who is getting married. 

Whitmore also noted it’s courtesy to send the wedding gift to the couple’s home before the wedding day or up to a month after the event. 

“If this is a second (or third) wedding for the couple, they may insist that their guests do not bring a gift,” she also noted.

19 Unique And Fabulous Experiences In Moscow

• Destinations

Thinking of visiting Russia? When visiting such a famous city, one must, of course, visit the iconic landmarks first. Moscow has plenty of those, most of them in the center of the city, which is very well-planned for tourists. Once you’ve seen the sights that are on most travelers’ lists, it’s time to branch out and visit some of the lesser-known sites, and there are some fascinating places to see and things to do.

I know this list is long, but I just couldn’t help myself. You probably won’t have the time to see them all. But that’s okay. Just scroll through the list and choose what sounds the most interesting to you. Where possible, make sure to book in advance, as things can get crowded, especially during high season.

1. The Red Square, Kremlin, And Surroundings

Red Square (Krasnya Ploshad) is the heart and soul of Russia, and where much of the country’s history has unfolded. This is the most famous landmark in Moscow and indeed the whole country, it’s an absolute must-do! The square is always full of people and has a rather festive atmosphere!

Saint Basil’s Cathedral

This is the famous church with the rainbow-colored, onion-domed roof. The cathedral was commissioned in the 1500s by Ivan the Terrible and according to legend, the Tsar thought it was so beautiful, that he ordered that the architect’s eyes be cut out afterward, so he could never build anything more beautiful! He wasn’t called Ivan the Terrible for no reason!

Lenin’s Mausoleum

The “love-it-or-hate-it” of tourist attractions in Russia. A glass sarcophagus containing the embalmed body of Russian revolutionary, Vladimir Lenin. It may seem a bit bizarre to display the mummy of a person, but it has been there for almost half a century and the 2.5 million visitors who come each year, clearly feel the queuing and thorough body search are worth it, to be in Lenin’s presence.

Pro Tip: no photos and no loud talking are allowed inside the Mausoleum.

Eternal Flame

There is an Eternal Flame in honor of an unknown soldier on the left side of Red Square. The hourly changing of the guards is worth seeing.

The Kremlin is the official residence of the Russian president. You can see it from the outside, or you can take an excursion to one of the museums located inside. This is the biggest active fortress in Europe, and holds a week’s worth of attractions! Once behind the 7,332-feet of walls, there are five squares, four cathedrals, 20 towers, various museums, and the world’s largest bell and cannon to see. Worth a special mention is the Armory Chamber that houses a collection of the famous Faberge Eggs.

Pro Tip: You can only go inside the Kremlin if you are part of a tourist group.

2. Bolshoi Theatre

Bolshoi Theatre translates to “The Big Theatre” in Russian, and the building is home to both the Bolshoi Ballet and Bolshoi Opera — among the oldest and most famous ballet and opera companies in the world.

Pro Tip: It’s hard to get an inexpensive ticket, so if you’re reading well in advance of going to Moscow then try buying tickets on the official website . Last-minute tickets cost around $250 per person. If this is out of your budget, about an hour before a performance, you can try buying a ticket at the entrance from a reseller. Most can speak enough English to negotiate the price.

Tour the Bolshoi Theatre: You can take a group guided tour of the Bolshoi Theatre which focuses on the history and architecture of the theatre and behind the scenes. There’s an English language tour that lasts 2 hours and costs around $300 for a group of up to six.

3. Luxury Shopping At GUM And TSUM

Russia’s main department store, GUM, has a stunning interior that is home to over 100 high-end boutiques, selling a variety of brands: from luxurious Dior to the more affordable Zara. Even if shopping is not on your Moscow to-do list GUM is still worth a visit; the glass-roofed arcade faces Red Square and offers a variety of classy eateries. TSUM, one of the biggest luxury malls in town, is right behind the Bolshoi and GUM. It’s an imposing building with lots of history, and worth a visit just for its design and its glass roof.

4. Christ The Savior Cathedral

This is one of Russia’s most visited cathedrals and is a newer addition to the gorgeous array of Muscovite cathedrals, but don’t let its young age fool you. After perestroika, in the early 90s, the revived Russian Orthodox Church was given permission to build a cathedral on this site. It did the location honors and built the largest temple of the Christian Orthodox Church. The façade is as grand as you’d expect, but it’s the inside that will mesmerize you, with its domes, gold, gorgeous paintings, and decor!

The cathedral is located just a few hundred feet away from the Kremlin and was the site of the infamous Pussy Riot protest against Putin back in 2012.

Pro Tip: Bring a shawl to cover your hair as is the local custom.

5. Gorky Park

Moscow’s premier green space, Gorky Park (Park Gor’kogo) is the city’s biggest and most famous park. There is entertainment on offer here for every taste, from outdoor dancing sessions to yoga classes, volleyball, ping-pong, rollerblading, and bike and boat rental in summer. In winter, half the park turns into a huge ice skating rink. Gorky Park is also home to an open-air movie theater and the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art. There is also Muzeon Art Park, a dynamic contemporary space with a unique collection of 700 sculptures. It is located right in front of Gorky Park.

6. Sparrow Hills Park

If you take a walk from Gorky Park, along the Moscow River embankment, you’ll end up in the city’s other legendary park, Sparrow Hills. Although the park doesn’t offer as many activities as its hip neighbor, it has a great panoramic view of the city

Pro Tip: You can take a free walking tour to all of the above attractions with an English-speaking guide.

7. River Cruising

One of the best ways to experience Moscow, and see all the famous landmarks, but from a different angle, is from the Moscow River. Take a river cruise. Avoid the tourist crowds. There are little nameless old boats that do the cruise, but if you are looking for a more luxurious experience take the Radisson Blu cruise and enjoy the sights with some good food and a glass of wine.

8. Metro Hopping

Inaugurated in the 1930s, the Moscow Metro system is one of the oldest and most beautiful in the world. Started in Stalinist times, each station is a work of art in its own right. I’d recommend touring the stations between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. This way, you’ll be able to properly see it without the crowds. Ideally, I’d recommend taking a tour with a knowledgeable guide with GuruWalk, who will tell you stories of forgotten stations and how the history of the country is interconnected with the metro development. If going by yourself, then I definitely recommend checking out: Mayakovskaya, Ploschad Revolutsii, Kievskaya, Kropotkinskaya, Kurskaya, and Novoslobodskaya stations.

Visit the free Moscow Metro Museum: For real train enthusiasts, located in the southern vestibule of Sportivnaya station is a small free museum. Here you can take a peek into the driver’s cabin, see a collection of metro tokens from different cities, and see different models of a turnstile, traffic lights, escalator, and more.

9. Moscow State University View

In his effort to create a grander Moscow, Stalin had seven skyscrapers built in different parts of town; they’re called the Seven Sisters. The largest of these buildings and the one with the best view is the main building of the Moscow State University. Although this is a little outside the city center, the view is more than worth it.

10. Izmailovsky Market

Mostly known for the city’s largest flea market, the district of Izmaylovo is home to a maze of shops where you can get just about anything, from artisan crafts to traditional fur hats, handcrafted jewelry, fascinating Soviet memorabilia, and antiquities. It’s also one of Moscow’s largest green spaces. There are often no price tags, so be prepared to haggle a bit. Head to one of the market cafes for a warming mulled wine before continuing your shopping spree.

The History of Vodka Museum is found here, and the museum’s restaurant is the perfect place to sample various brands of the national drink.

Once you’ve covered the more touristy spots, Moscow still has plenty to offer, and the places below will also be full of locals! So for some local vibes, I would strongly recommend the spots below!

11. Moscow City

With a completely different vibe, Moscow City (also referred to as Moscow International Business Center) is like a mini Dubai, with lots of impressive tall glass buildings. Here is where you’ll find the best rooftops in towns, like Ruski Restaurant, the highest restaurant both in Moscow City and in Europe. Moscow City is great for crowd-free shopping and the best panoramic views of the city.

12. Tretyakov Gallery

Tretyakov Gallery started as the private collection of the Tretyakov brothers, who were 19th-century philanthropists. They gave their private collection to the government after their deaths. If there is just one museum you visit in Moscow, I recommend this one!

13. Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve

Tsaritsyno was a residence of Catherine the Great more than two centuries ago. It became derelict during the Soviet era but has now been fully renovated. With its opulently decorated buildings, gardens, meadows, and forests, Tsaritsyno Park is the perfect place for a green respite in Moscow.

14. Kolomenskoye

A 10-minute metro ride from the city center is Kolomenskoe Museum-Reserve, where you can get an idea of what Russia looked like 200 years ago. You’ll find ancient churches (one dating back to the 16th century), the oldest garden in Moscow, and the wonderful fairytale wooden palace of Tsar Alexey Mikhailovich, father of Peter the Great.

15. Ostankino TV Tower

Built in 1967, Ostankino TV Tower was the tallest free-standing construction in the world at the time, it’s still the 8th tallest building in the world and the highest in Europe. It’s also the best observation deck, with a glass floor and 360-degree views. The speedy elevators take you 1,105 feet in next to no time.

Pro Tip: You need to book in advance; entrance is based on specific ticket times and the capacity is limited and only a certain number of tourists are allowed per day. Don’t forget your passport, you’ll need it to get through security.

16. Zaryadye Park

Zaryadye is a newly opened, landscaped urban park so new you won’t find it in a lot of tour guides. The park is near Red Square and is divided into four climatic zones: forest, steppe, tundra, and floodplains, depicting the variety of climatic zones in Russia.

These last three suggestions are a little quirky, but all are really worth checking out.

17. Museum Of Soviet Arcade Games

Release your inner child playing on 66 arcade machines from the Soviet era! What a great way to spend a couple of hours when tired of visiting museums and palaces. The staff speaks excellent English and are happy to explain how the games work.

18. Moscow Rooftop Tour

Take a 1-hour private Moscow rooftop tour with an experienced roofer. I can just about guarantee none of your friends will be able to say they’ve done it! For your comfort, I recommend wearing comfortable shoes. Take your camera, there are some amazing photo opportunities out there!

19. Sanduny Banya

This classical Russian bathhouse opened its doors in 1808 and is famous for combining traditional Russian banya services with luxurious interiors and service. If you enjoy spas and saunas, then you should experience a Russian bathhouse at least once in your life! Go with an open mind and hire a specialist to steam you as it’s meant to be done — by being beaten repeatedly with a besom (a leafy branch)! This is said to improve circulation, but is best done by a professional!

So there you have my list of things to do in Moscow. I could have gone on and on and on, but I didn’t want to try your patience! There are so many things to do in this vibrant city that you’ll definitely need to allocate several days for exploring.

Travel Itinerary For One Week in Moscow: The Best of Moscow!

I just got back from one week in Moscow. And, as you might have already guessed, it was a mind-boggling experience. It was not my first trip to the Russian capital. But I hardly ever got enough time to explore this sprawling city. Visiting places for business rarely leaves enough time for sightseeing. I think that if you’ve got one week in Russia, you can also consider splitting your time between its largest cities (i.e. Saint Petersburg ) to get the most out of your trip. Seven days will let you see the majority of the main sights and go beyond just scratching the surface. In this post, I’m going to share with you my idea of the perfect travel itinerary for one week in Moscow.

Moscow is perhaps both the business and cultural hub of Russia. There is a lot more to see here than just the Kremlin and Saint Basil’s Cathedral. Centuries-old churches with onion-shaped domes dotted around the city are in stark contrast with newly completed impressive skyscrapers of Moscow City dominating the skyline. I spent a lot of time thinking about my Moscow itinerary before I left. And this city lived up to all of my expectations.

Travel Itinerary For One Week in Moscow

Day 1 – red square and the kremlin.

Metro Station: Okhotny Ryad on Red Line.

No trip to Moscow would be complete without seeing its main attraction. The Red Square is just a stone’s throw away from several metro stations. It is home to some of the most impressive architectural masterpieces in the city. The first thing you’ll probably notice after entering it and passing vendors selling weird fur hats is the fairytale-like looking Saint Basil’s Cathedral. It was built to commemorate one of the major victories of Ivan the Terrible. I once spent 20 minutes gazing at it, trying to find the perfect angle to snap it. It was easier said than done because of the hordes of locals and tourists.

As you continue strolling around Red Square, there’s no way you can miss Gum. It was widely known as the main department store during the Soviet Era. Now this large (yet historic) shopping mall is filled with expensive boutiques, pricey eateries, etc. During my trip to Moscow, I was on a tight budget. So I only took a retro-style stroll in Gum to get a rare glimpse of a place where Soviet leaders used to grocery shop and buy their stuff. In case you want some modern shopping experience, head to the Okhotny Ryad Shopping Center with stores like New Yorker, Zara, and Adidas.

To continue this Moscow itinerary, next you may want to go inside the Kremlin walls. This is the center of Russian political power and the president’s official residence. If you’re planning to pay Kremlin a visit do your best to visit Ivan the Great Bell Tower as well. Go there as early as possible to avoid crowds and get an incredible bird’s-eye view. There are a couple of museums that are available during designated visiting hours. Make sure to book your ticket online and avoid lines.

Day 2 – Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the Tretyakov Gallery, and the Arbat Street

Metro Station: Kropotkinskaya on Red Line

As soon as you start creating a Moscow itinerary for your second day, you’ll discover that there are plenty of metro stations that are much closer to certain sites. Depending on your route, take a closer look at the metro map to pick the closest.

The white marble walls of Christ the Saviour Cathedral are awe-inspiring. As you approach this tallest Orthodox Christian church, you may notice the bronze sculptures, magnificent arches, and cupolas that were created to commemorate Russia’s victory against Napoleon.

How to Get a Decent Haircut in a Foreign Country

Unfortunately, the current Cathedral is a replica, since original was blown to bits in 1931 by the Soviet government. The new cathedral basically follows the original design, but they have added some new elements such as marble high reliefs.

Home to some precious collection of artworks, in Tretyakov Gallery you can find more than 150,000 of works spanning centuries of artistic endeavor. Originally a privately owned gallery, it now has become one of the largest museums in Russia. The Gallery is often considered essential to visit. But I have encountered a lot of locals who have never been there.

Famous for its souvenirs, musicians, and theaters, Arbat street is among the few in Moscow that were turned into pedestrian zones. Arbat street is usually very busy with tourists and locals alike. My local friend once called it the oldest street in Moscow dating back to 1493. It is a kilometer long walking street filled with fancy gift shops, small cozy restaurants, lots of cute cafes, and street artists. It is closed to any vehicular traffic, so you can easily stroll it with kids.

Day 3 – Moscow River Boat Ride, Poklonnaya Hill Victory Park, the Moscow City

Metro Station: Kievskaya and Park Pobedy on Dark Blue Line / Vystavochnaya on Light Blue Line

Voyaging along the Moscow River is definitely one of the best ways to catch a glimpse of the city and see the attractions from a bit different perspective. Depending on your Moscow itinerary, travel budget and the time of the year, there are various types of boats available. In the summer there is no shortage of boats, and you’ll be spoiled for choice.

Travel Itinerary for One Week in Beijing

If you find yourself in Moscow during the winter months, I’d recommend going with Radisson boat cruise. These are often more expensive (yet comfy). They offer refreshments like tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and, of course, alcoholic drinks. Prices may vary but mostly depend on your food and drink selection. Find their main pier near the opulent Ukraine hotel . The hotel is one of the “Seven Sisters”, so if you’re into the charm of Stalinist architecture don’t miss a chance to stay there.

The area near Poklonnaya Hill has the closest relation to the country’s recent past. The memorial complex was completed in the mid-1990s to commemorate the Victory and WW2 casualties. Also known as the Great Patriotic War Museum, activities here include indoor attractions while the grounds around host an open-air museum with old tanks and other vehicles used on the battlefield.

How I Planned My Trip to Vietnam

The hallmark of the memorial complex and the first thing you see as you exit metro is the statue of Nike mounted to its column. This is a very impressive Obelisk with a statue of Saint George slaying the dragon at its base.

Maybe not as impressive as Shanghai’s Oriental Pearl Tower , the skyscrapers of the Moscow City (otherwise known as Moscow International Business Center) are so drastically different from dull Soviet architecture. With 239 meters and 60 floors, the Empire Tower is the seventh highest building in the business district.

The observation deck occupies 56 floor from where you have some panoramic views of the city. I loved the view in the direction of Moscow State University and Luzhniki stadium as well to the other side with residential quarters. The entrance fee is pricey, but if you’re want to get a bird’s eye view, the skyscraper is one of the best places for doing just that.

Day 4 – VDNKh, Worker and Collective Farm Woman Monument, The Ostankino TV Tower

Metro Station: VDNKh on Orange Line

VDNKh is one of my favorite attractions in Moscow. The weird abbreviation actually stands for Russian vystavka dostizheniy narodnogo khozyaystva (Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy). With more than 200 buildings and 30 pavilions on the grounds, VDNKh serves as an open-air museum. You can easily spend a full day here since the park occupies a very large area.

Places to Visit in Barcelona That Aren’t Beaches

First, there are pavilions that used to showcase different cultures the USSR was made of. Additionally, there is a number of shopping pavilions, as well as Moskvarium (an Oceanarium) that features a variety of marine species. VDNKh is a popular venue for events and fairs. There is always something going on, so I’d recommend checking their website if you want to see some particular exhibition.

A stone’s throw away from VDNKh there is a very distinctive 25-meters high monument. Originally built in 1937 for the world fair in Paris, the hulking figures of men and women holding a hammer and a sickle represent the Soviet idea of united workers and farmers. It doesn’t take much time to see the monument, but visiting it gives some idea of the Soviet Union’s grandiose aspirations.

I have a thing for tall buildings. So to continue my travel itinerary for one week in Moscow I decided to climb the fourth highest TV tower in the world. This iconic 540m tower is a fixture of the skyline. You can see it virtually from everywhere in Moscow, and this is where you can get the best panoramic views (yep, even better than Empire skyscraper).

Parts of the floor are made of tempered glass, so it can be quite scary to exit the elevator. But trust me, as you start observing buildings and cars below, you won’t want to leave. There is only a limited number of tickets per day, so you may want to book online. Insider tip: the first tour is cheaper, you can save up to $10 if go there early.

Day 5 – A Tour To Moscow Manor Houses

Metro Station: Kolomenskoye, Tsaritsyno on Dark Green Line / Kuskovo on Purple Line

I love visiting the manor houses and palaces in Moscow. These opulent buildings were generally built to house Russian aristocratic families and monarchs. Houses tend to be rather grand affairs with impressive architecture. And, depending on the whims of the owners, some form of a landscaped garden.

During the early part of the 20th century though, many of Russia’s aristocratic families (including the family of the last emperor) ended up being killed or moving abroad . Their manor houses were nationalized. Some time later (after the fall of the USSR) these were open to the public. It means that today a great many of Moscow’s finest manor houses and palaces are open for touring.

20 Travel Tips I’ve Learned From Travelling The World

There are 20 manor houses scattered throughout the city and more than 25 in the area around. But not all of them easily accessible and exploring them often takes a lot of time. I’d recommend focusing on three most popular estates in Moscow that are some 30-minute metro ride away from Kremlin.

Sandwiched between the Moscow River and the Andropov Avenue, Kolomenskoye is a UNESCO site that became a public park in the 1920’s. Once a former royal estate, now it is one of the most tranquil parks in the city with gorgeous views. The Ascension Church, The White Column, and the grounds are a truly grand place to visit.

You could easily spend a full day here, exploring a traditional Russian village (that is, in fact, a market), picnicking by the river, enjoying the Eastern Orthodox church architecture, hiking the grounds as well as and wandering the park and gardens with wildflower meadows, apple orchards, and birch and maple groves. The estate museum showcases Russian nature at its finest year-round.

If my travel itinerary for one week in Moscow was a family tree, Tsaritsyno Park would probably be the crazy uncle that no-one talks about. It’s a large park in the south of the city of mind-boggling proportions, unbelievable in so many ways, and yet most travelers have never heard of it.

The palace was supposed to be a summer home for Empress Catherine the Great. But since the construction didn’t meet with her approval the palace was abandoned. Since the early 1990’s the palace, the pond, and the grounds have been undergoing renovations. The entire complex is now looking brighter and more elaborately decorated than at possibly any other time during its history. Like most parks in Moscow, you can visit Tsaritsyno free of charge, but there is a small fee if you want to visit the palace.

How To Stop Procrastinating When Trip Planning

Last, but by no means least on my Moscow itinerary is Kuskovo Park . This is definitely an off-the-beaten-path place. While it is not easily accessible, you will be rewarded with a lack of crowds. This 18th-century summer country house of the Sheremetev family was one of the first summer country estates of the Russian nobility. And when you visit you’ll quickly realize why locals love this park.

Like many other estates, Kuskovo has just been renovated. So there are lovely French formal garden, a grotto, and the Dutch house to explore. Make sure to plan your itinerary well because the estate is some way from a metro station.

Day 6 – Explore the Golden Ring

Creating the Moscow itinerary may keep you busy for days with the seemingly endless amount of things to do. Visiting the so-called Golden Ring is like stepping back in time. Golden Ring is a “theme route” devised by promotion-minded journalist and writer Yuri Bychkov.

Having started in Moscow the route will take you through a number of historical cities. It now includes Suzdal, Vladimir, Kostroma, Yaroslavl and Sergiev Posad. All these awe-inspiring towns have their own smaller kremlins and feature dramatic churches with onion-shaped domes, tranquil residential areas, and other architectural landmarks.

Two Weeks In Thailand: The Perfect 14-Day Itinerary

I only visited two out of eight cities included on the route. It is a no-brainer that Sergiev Posad is the nearest and the easiest city to see on a day trip from Moscow. That being said, you can explore its main attractions in just one day. Located some 70 km north-east of the Russian capital, this tiny and overlooked town is home to Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, UNESCO Site.

Sergiev Posad is often described as being at the heart of Russian spiritual life. So it is uncommon to see the crowds of Russian pilgrims showing a deep reverence for their religion. If you’re traveling independently and using public transport, you can reach Sergiev Posad by bus (departs from VDNKh) or by suburban commuter train from Yaroslavskaya Railway Station (Bahnhof). It takes about one and a half hours to reach the town.

Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius is a great place to get a glimpse of filling and warming Russian lunch, specifically at the “ Gostevaya Izba ” restaurant. Try the duck breast, hearty potato and vegetables, and the awesome Napoleon cake.

Day 7 – Gorky Park, Izmailovo Kremlin, Patriarch’s Ponds

Metro Station: Park Kultury or Oktyabrskaya on Circle Line / Partizanskaya on Dark Blue Line / Pushkinskaya on Dark Green Line

Gorky Park is in the heart of Moscow. It offers many different types of outdoor activities, such as dancing, cycling, skateboarding, walking, jogging, and anything else you can do in a park. Named after Maxim Gorky, this sprawling and lovely park is where locals go on a picnic, relax and enjoy free yoga classes. It’s a popular place to bike around, and there is a Muzeon Art Park not far from here. A dynamic location with a younger vibe. There is also a pier, so you can take a cruise along the river too.

How to Save Money While Traveling in Europe

The Kremlin in Izmailovo is by no means like the one you can find near the Red Square. Originally built for decorative purposes, it now features the Vernissage flea market and a number of frequent fairs, exhibitions, and conferences. Every weekend, there’s a giant flea market in Izmailovo, where dozens of stalls sell Soviet propaganda crap, Russian nesting dolls, vinyl records, jewelry and just about any object you can imagine. Go early in the morning if you want to beat the crowds.

All the Bulgakov’s fans should pay a visit to Patriarch’s Ponds (yup, that is plural). With a lovely small city park and the only one (!) pond in the middle, the location is where the opening scene of Bulgakov’s novel Master and Margarita was set. The novel is centered around a visit by Devil to the atheistic Soviet Union is considered by many critics to be one of the best novels of the 20th century. I spent great two hours strolling the nearby streets and having lunch in the hipster cafe.

Conclusion and Recommendations

To conclude, Moscow is a safe city to visit. I have never had a problem with getting around and most locals are really friendly once they know you’re a foreigner. Moscow has undergone some serious reconstruction over the last few years. So you can expect some places to be completely different. I hope my one week Moscow itinerary was helpful! If you have less time, say 4 days or 5 days, I would cut out day 6 and day 7. You could save the Golden Ring for a separate trip entirely as there’s lots to see!

What was their favourite thing about Russia?

Gladys Parker

I know very little about Moscow or Russia for the\at matter. I do know I would have to see the Red Square and all of its exquisite architectural masterpieces. Also the CATHEDRAL OF CHRIST THE SAVIOUR. Thanks for shedding some light on visiting Moscow.

Thanks for swinging by! The Red Square is a great starting point, but there way too many places and things to discover aside from it!

Ruthy @ Percolate Kitchen

You are making me so jealous!! I’ve always wanted to see Russia.

Moscow is in my bucket list, I don’t know when I can visit there, your post is really useful. As a culture rich place we need to spend at least week.
