Filtrowanie

Wakacje w Hurghadzie, które miały być pierwszym dla naszych dzieci wspaniałym, egzotycznym wyjazdem zaczęły się od przymusowego skasowania za wizę 28 dolarów od osoby, podczas gdy wszyscy płacą 25. W hotelu okazało się, że mamy za mały pokój, jak na naszą czwórkę, w tym 2 nastolatki, których daty urodzin podawałam przy rezerwacji, bo Coral rezerwuje byle co i trzeba dopłacać. Wycieczki na niskim poziomie, najgorsze biuro podróży, jakie znam. Nigdy więcej i sugeruje trzymać się od nich z daleka!

Największy błąd jaki możesz popełnić to zakup wakacji w Coral Travel Poland - zwróć uwagę na zapisy w Warunkach Imprezy Turystycznej, Coral zapewni Ci jeden z najniższych standardów a później będzie Cię przekonywać, że przecież wszystko jest w porządku i nie mają na nic wpływu. Czytajcie i egzekwujcie swoje prawa w ECK

Ofertę wybrałam w salonie Wakacje.pl Galeria Elektrownia Powiśle. Pani w salonie bardzo kompetentna, pomocna, wykazująca się dużą kulturą osobistą. Polecam gorąco współpracę. Warunki umowy zostały dotrzymane, jestem bardzo zadowolona z urlopu.

Ze stroną wakacje.pl było dość łatwe. Oferta nawet zgodna z rzeczywistością.

Biuro podróży jak każde inne, ale tylko korzystając z usług tego biura walizki które miały być wypakowane z autobusu przez obsługę nie zostały wypakowane i dopiero kilkukrotnie przypominanie się rezydentowi przyczyniło się do tego, że walizki po ponad 14 godzinach zostały dostarczone do hotelu. Biuro nie widzi problemu, twierdząc, że to moja wina, jednak rezydent na miejscu był innego zdania. Więc morał jest taki, jeśli korzystacie z Coral Travel walizki trzymajcie przy sobie, nawet w autobusie.

Absolutnie nie polecam, zimne żarcie w hotelu, brak kolacji a'la carte gwarantowanej w ofercie, brak w pokoju herbaty i kawy to standard 5* w ich przekonaniu, w każdym normalnym biurze hotel mialby 3. Zlozylem skarge nie reklamacje dostalem odpowiedz ze "nie mamy pańskiego płaszcza i co nam pan zrobisz" takie grzeczne spierd.... wiec srał ich pies. Nie polecam a na dodatek opieka rezydenta to zart. najgorsze biuro podróży z jakim leciałem. Nigdy wiecej i sugeruje trzymać się od nich z daleka

To mój trzeci raz i ostatni. Zawyżają standardy hoteli bo na miejscu okazuje się że gwiazdka niżej. Nie potrafią niczego zaplanować logicznie np. ostatni dzień pobytu i lot powrotny o g 18 a oni przyjeżdżają do hotelu o g 12 żeby być na lotnisku 4h przed odlotem 🤦 Mało tego bo jako osoba zakwaterowana najbliżej lotniska zostaję zabrany jako pierwszy żeby jechać po innych dalej ulokowanych i wrócić tą samą drogą tylko po to żeby pojeździć sobie dodatkowe 1,5 godz. 🤦 W niczym nie pomogą.

Mieliśmy do czynienia z kilkoma rezydentami Corala.Rzeczywiście tylko chcą sprzedać wycieczkę i zero pomocy.Dosyć ,że u rezydenta było dużo drożej to kłamał ,że Polski przewodnik a ani w ząb nie znał polskiego.Znajoomi z innego hotelu nie zostali powiadomieni o godzinie odjazdu samolotu i rano do nich zadzwonił a oni na plaży i nie poczekał autokar tylko sami musieli jechać taksówką.Nieprawdopodobne.

Zostaliśmy oszukani.na terenie hotelu nigdy nie było aquaparku który coral miał w ofercie,pani z biura reklamacji stwierdziła "no i o co wam chodzi mieliście drugi na plazy".nie było połowy rzeczy cukierni 24 ,animacji itp. Wzamian zaproponowali nam 150 zł zniżki na inne wakacje u nich.

Jeśli chodzi o samo kupno wycieczki, transport, charter, transfer do hotelu jak i pobyt w nim wszystko działało jak należy. Natomiast odradzam kupno dodatkowych wycieczek z Carala, rezydenci zmieniają daty wyjazdów, zapewniają o polskim przewodniku, po czym w dniu wyjazdu okazuje się, że przewodnik będzie tylko w języku angielskim. W porównaniu z innymi ofertami z innych firm Coral również wypada drożej. Polecam biuro podróży na organizację wyjazdu, ale na miejscu zdecydowanie odradzam.

W hotelu pogryzły mnie i córkę pluskwy, reklamacja zgłoszona w październiku do tej pory brak jakiejkolwiek odpowiedzi, rezydentka umyła ręce, nie polecam.

Nie polecam biura. Wykupiłam wycieczkę z dziećmi i nie mogłam wyjechać z powodu pracy (nie z własnego widzimisię) co było ujęte w ubezpieczeniu i nigdy nie oddali mi 4000zl . Coral travel zrzuca winę na ubezpiecznie ERGO a ubezpieczenie na coral travel. Nigdy więcej!!

Nie polecam. Lecieliśmy z osobą niepełnosprawna na wózku. Mieliśmy mieć pokój przystosowany, zawiadomione lotniska itd. Tymczasem w hotelu nam pokazali e-meila, wysłanego do biura, że hotel w tym terminie nie dysponuję pokojem przystosowanym. Na lotnisku w Katowicach już problemy, potem walka przy recepcji o jakikolwiek pokój z natryskiem i na parterze. Zorganizowanie transferu do i z hotelu busem a nie autokarem z wysokim, wąskim wejściem też przerosło możliwości biura. Masakra.

Jeżeli lecisz z tego biura do Marsa Alam to za karę płacisz więcej za wizę . Wiza 25$ a jako klient 28$. Na lotnisku udawaj , że nie jesteś z tego biura! Idziesz do okienka BANK i tam kupujesz za 25$ . Nie rozdawaj $ na lewo i prawo tylko za faktyczną - chcianą pomoc - inaczej i oczach arabów jesteś frajerem.

Nie polecam Coral Travel (zakup przez wakacje.l). Wycieczka zakupiona jako first minute 7 dni w Turcji w 5* hotelu. Dwukrotnie zmieniono nam godziny lotów (na naszą niekorzyść), przez co z 7 dniowej wycieczki byliśmy 6 dni (przyjazd po godz. 23 w sobotę), wyjazd o 3:00 w następną sobotę. Skandalem było że biuro zorganizowało transfer o 3.00 w nocy (4h przez wylotem o 7.05) na lotnisko oddalone zaledwie 15 min od hotelu!!! Bez sensu czekaliśmy na lotnisku 2h w kolejce do rozpoczęcia odprawy.

Wybraliśmy Tajlandię z coral travel po bardzo udanym urlopie w Egipcie również z tym biurem. Na lotnisku na Phuket czekało 5 Polaków rezydentów rozdzielających osoby do wskazanych hoteli. Pani Karolina jechała z nami do portu z którego popłynęliśmy do hotelu. Była bardzo dostępna przez cały wyjazd kontakt przez WhatsApp właściwie cały czas. Hotel zgodny z tym w ofercir. Przelot bezpośrednio dreamlinerem z wyżywieniem i napojami . Zdecydowanie polecam

Pod zadnym pozorem nie polecam Coral Travel. Wykupilam wycieczke do Turcji do 5 * hotelu. Ten hotel okazal sie juz na starcie porazka. Zakwareriwali nas w pokoju rodzinnym z niedziaĺajaca klimatyzacja z innymi osobami, zamiast w wykupuonym przez 2 osobowym pokoju. Nie chcieli nam dac naszego pokoju a nwet zadzwonic do Coral z recepcji, wmawuajac nam, ze mozna z pokoju, co jest nieprwda. Zlozylismy po powrocie reklamacje , Coral odpisal po 2 miesiacach, odmownie i caĺa wine zrzucil na nas.

Pod żadnym pozorem nie polecam tego biura. To była nasza pierwsza i ostatnia wycieczka z tym najgorszym biurem. Zresztą nie tylko moja, a wielu innych osób, które były razem z nami. Poczytajcie sobie opinie o nich na różnych stronach. Z własnego doświadczenia teraz wiemy, że są prawdziwe. Żałujemy jednak, że wcześniej przd zakupem wycieczki nie zapoznaliśmy się z tymi opiniami, zaoszczędziłoby to nam pieniędzy i znarnowanwgo urlopu. Dodam, że reklamacji oni nie uwzględniają.

Najgorsze biuro z jakim byłam , w hotelu nic się nie zgadzało z opisem. Po złożeniu reklamacji czekałam ponad 60 dni na rozpatrzenie aby usłyszeć ze rezydent się się przyznaje do zarzutów choć wszytko było udokumentowane zdjęciami oraz nagraniami.

Nie polecam Coral travel Egipt, rezydenci to oszuści na każdym kroku chcą Cię oszukać, mi załatwił kartę do internetu za 15 dolarow 4gb co już było oszustwem, ale to mały szczegół bo po włożeniu karty do telefonu okazało się że ona jest już wykorzystana. Przykład jeden z wielu.

LEISKIS Į NEUŽMIRŠTAMĄ ATOSTOGŲ NUOTYKĮ

Populiariausia vasaros kryptis.

Antalijos regionas, dar vadinamas Turkijos Rivjera, ypač pamėgtas dėl puikaus oro, viešbučių kokybės ir ilgų, žydrų it iš paveikslėlio, paplūdimių. Regione esantys populiarūs Alanijos, Beleko, Sidės, Antalijos ir Kemero kurortai gali pasiūlyti tiek krištolinės jūros gaivą, tiek istorinių/kultūrinių patirčių, tiek įspūdingų žaliuojančių kalnų didybę!

Kitokios atostogos Turkijoje

Patirkite kitokias atostogas Turkijoje! Bodrumas žavi ne tik įstabiais gamtos peizažais, turtinga istorija, bet ir nuostabia architektūra, primenančia Italijos ar Prancūzijos Rivjerą. Daugybę metų buvęs menininkų ir bohemos kurortu, šiandien tai patraukli kryptis tiek poroms, išsiilgusioms romantikos, draugų kompanijoms ar šeimoms.

Poilsis nuotykių mėgėjams

Poilsiu šiame kurorte ypatingai džiaugsis povandeninio pasaulio mylėtojai: koralų ir egzotinių žuvų grožis nustebins ne tik pradedančiuosius, bet ir visko mačiusius nardytojus. Šeimos, draugų kompanijos ir poros taip pat pamėgs šį kurortą: gausi pramogų ir ekskursijų pasiūla, vietomis nusidriekę seklūs ir puikaus smėlio paplūdimiai.

365 vasaros dienos

Hurgadoje kiekvienas ras, ką nuveikti! Hurgados paplūdimiai ypač prižiūrėti ir gerai sutvarkyti. Mėgstantys aktyvų poilsį, gėrėsis magišku povandeniniu pasauliu, išbandys burlenčių ar banglenčių sportą. O kur dar faraonų laikų palikimo pažinimas, o gal linksmybės iki paryčių ugninguose baruose?

Graikija, kalimera!

Sala sužavės tiek kokybiško poilsio, tiek aktyvaus kultūrinio pažinimo galimybėmis. Šeimos čia pajus ypatingą dėmesį: smagūs vandens kalneliai, atskiri vaikų baseinai, jaukūs smėlėti paplūdimiai.

Išsiilgusiems atradimų!

Tai tikras Balkanų perlas, keliautojus viliojantis stebinančia ir didinga savo gamta, kalnais, itin švaria ir druskinga Adrijos jūra, gausiu istorijos paveldu bei ypač maloniu vietinių bendravimu. Vis daugiau poilsiautojų atostogoms renkasi šią kryptį dėl 3 svarbių ingredientų: konkurencingos poilsio kainos, puikaus klimato (vasaromis ne per karšta) ir plačiai išsidriekusių smėlėtų paplūdimių.

Daugiau saulės už mažiau!

Kai norisi tinginio atostogų!

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.

Read Next: Things To Do on Socotra

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.

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.

7 Best Things To Do in Moscow

Updated February 11, 2021

Art, museums and history reign supreme in Moscow, one of the most pristinely and magnificently preserved cities. This beautiful walking city is also recommended for couples. Here you can stroll through 15th-century cathedrals, explore Russian

• All Things To Do

Red Square Red Square free

One of the world's most famous public squares, the Red Square sits at the physical center of Moscow and is considered the symbolic center of all of Russia. Bluntly speaking, Red Square is a must-see in the city. Allot a decent amount of time to take in the views, capture them on your camera and to just soak in the atmosphere of the place.

You'll find the Red Square is bordered by the massive GUM shopping mall on the east, St. Basil's Cathedral on the south, the State Historical Museum on the north and Lenin's Mausoleum on the west.

Tretyakov Gallery Tretyakov Gallery

Many say the Tretyakov Gallery features the best collection of Russian fine art in the world. This museum is filled to the brim with masterpieces ranging from the 11th century to the 20th century. The gallery is actually comprised of two buildings, often referred to as the "Old Tretyakov" and the "New Tretyakov."

If you make time for only one museum in Moscow, make sure it's this one. Frommer's says, "This collection of masterpieces awes both newcomers to Russian art and connoisseurs." With works from Russian icons like Vrubel and Kadinsky dotted throughout the museum, you could easily find yourself whiling away the whole day here.

St. Basil's Cathedral St. Basil's Cathedral

St. Basil's Cathedral, also known by its much longer title as the Cathedral of Intercession of Theotokos on the Moat , is the most iconic landmark in Russia. It's located in Red Square , immediately recognizable by its unique bonfire-style design.

Built in the mid-16th century under the orders of Ivan the Terrible himself, (a popular legend says he had the architect blinded to prevent him from duplicating the beauty) St. Basil's Cathedral is most known for its vibrantly colored onion domes. Frommer's says the cathedral is "essentially a union of nine different churches and styles, and nine different chapels, beneath nine domes, each unique in size, form, and color."

Cathedral of Christ the Savior Cathedral of Christ the Savior free

The Cathedral of Christ the Savior is located along the bank of the Moscow River and only a few blocks away from the Kremlin . Tourists come to the cathedral for its impressive architecture and design, as well as for its equally impressive (and strange) history.

The cathedral was originally built to commemorate the Russian victory over Napoleon in 1812 and to honor the soldiers who gave their lives fighting him. Then in 1931, Stalin had the structure dynamited to make room for his Palace of the Soviets project -- an ambitious skyscraper (it would have been the tallest structure in the world) that never materialized. Instead, the site was transformed in 1958 into the Moscow Pool, one of the largest public swimming pools in the world. The pool closed in 1994 and the cathedral was rebuilt in its place in 1997.

Moscow Kremlin Moscow Kremlin

Often referred to simply as "The Kremlin," this fortress is located in the center of Moscow, off of the Red Square . It is the most well known of the Kremlins (Russian citadels) and serves as the official residence of the Russian President. The Kremlin encompasses four cathedrals, four palaces and a number of towers.

One of the major highlights here is the Armory Palace, one of the city's oldest museums. The Armory Palace was originally the royal Russian arsenal where weapons were produced and stored. It wasn't until the early 1800s that it was converted into a museum. Now, it showcases Western European, Asian and Russian weapons and armor, as well as several collections of work from goldsmiths, silversmiths and jewelers. Don't miss the Fabergé egg exhibit. 

Lenin's Mausoleum Lenin's Mausoleum free

Lenin's Mausoleum is located in Red Square and is probably one of the stranger tourist attractions you'll ever come across. It contains the embalmed body of Vladimir Lenin, a disturbing site that has been on display almost every day since his death in 1924.

Lonely Planet says, "Whether for the creepiness value or an interest in mummification, the granite tomb of Lenin is a must-see, especially since (if some people get their way) the former leader may eventually end up beside his mum in St Petersburg." Apparently, the Bolsheviks leader made a specific request to be buried alongside his mother before he died.

Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts

The Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts is located on Volkhonka Street across from the Cathedral of Christ the Savior . It houses the largest collection of European art in Moscow, and it was named in honor of one of Russia's premier poets, Alexander Pushkin.

You don't go here to read sonnets, though. Instead, you should look to find art spanning a wide range of eras and movements, from ancient Greece to the Renaissance to French Impressionism. Masterpieces from the likes of Renoir, Cézanne, Picasso and Van Gogh easily make this museum deserving of a visit.

25 Places to Visit in Moscow you Can’t Miss

25 Places to Visit in Moscow

Do you know what the most populous city in Europe is? Most people wouldn’t guess that it is actually Moscow. There are approximately 13 million people in the Moscow metro area, which amounts to approximately 1/10th of all Russians.

This former capitol of the Soviet Union is still the political and financial center of Russia. Just because it is a current business and government city, in no way means that it is boring and not worth a visit. Assuming the political tensions get solved, Moscow is a fascinating city you need to visit.

While lots of people can’t explain the nuances of Russian architecture, most can spot and appreciate it immediately. One of the best ways to see the historic sites is by taking a boat tour down the Moskva River that meanders through the city.

Overall, navigating the city isn’t difficult as there is phenomenal and cheap public transportation (roughly 30 rubles/35 cents per ride). You can also use a cheap Uber on the three ring roads that circle the city at various distances from the center.

Still wondering why you should visit this historic masterpiece of a city? Read on to see the top 25 things you need to see in Moscow.

The House with Animals

This former church is famous for the terracotta reliefs of animals that adorn the front of the building. It is a favorite of locals, and famous around the world. It was built in approximately 1900.

Resurrection Gate or Iberian Gate and Chapel

The Resurrection Gate is now one of the most common ways to enter Red Square. This gate is also the only standing part of the wall that was the entrance to to Kitai-Gorod, or Moscow’s historic central business district.

St. Basils Cathedral

Probably the most famous of the Red Square attractions is St. Basil’s Cathedral. I don’t know if the legend is true or not, but supposedly Tsar Ivan IV poked the eyes of the architect out after completing it so nothing as pretty could be made again. What an awful boss!

The State Historical Museum

If you are like me then you can’t help but find all the twists and turns of Russian history fascinating. The State Historical Museum at Red Square is a fantastic place to learn and study the Russian Relics.

Book your tour: Kremlin, Red Square, and Metro Tour with Pick-Up

Moscow River Cruise

The Moskva River cuts directly through the heart of Moscow. Want to see it all but rest your feet? One of the best things to do in Moscow at night is float along on a dinner cruise . The lights of the city are so beautiful. Of course, dinner in included.

Book your tour: Night lights Moscow Cruise (with Dinner option)

Museum of Soviet Arcade Games

This is one of the most unique things to do in Moscow. If you know that many American video games paint the Russians as the bad guys, then it’s probably not surprising to learn that you can find an entirely different variety of video games in Russia. This isn’t a recent phenomenon; even historically the video games were different. If you are a video game buff then this stop is for you!

Main Church of the Armed Forces in Park Patriot near Kubinka

This church attempts to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ as well as Russian military leader. Yes, it’s an awkward amalgamation. It caused quite a controversy when there were plans to create murals of Vladimir Putin and Joseph Stalin to go along with the ones of Jesus Christ (those plans were scrapped).

Bunker 42 (Cold War Museum)

Tunnel at Bunker-42, anti-nuclear underground facility built in 1956 as command post of strategic nuclear forces of Soviet Union.

Americans weren’t the only ones afraid during the Cold War! You can now discover the most secret and secure Bunker of the USSR, Bunker 42. Also known as the Cold War Museum . This former military communication center is now a museum. I recommend this tour that will take you on a private two hour visit of Bunker 42.

If you aren’t interested in a guided tour you can book your tickets in advance here.

Tank Excursion and Bazooka Shooting in Moscow

For real – you can book this tour and actually ride in a tank and shoot off military grade weapons. While that’s not my cup of tea, I know tons of guys would absolutely love to shoot a bazooka!

Book your tour here .

Dormition Cathedral

This is another Russian Orthodox cathedral that is located inside the Moscow Kremlin. It is another famous landmark of Moscow. The inside is decorated with ancient frescoes.

The Cathedral of the icon of the Mother of God “Sign”

This cathedral is located in Zaryadye Park (adjacent to Red Square). It is also on the Moskva River. The Cathedral of the icon of the Mother of God “Sign” previously was a monastery.

Komsomolskaya Metro station 

So many of the metro stations are breathtaking works of art. The idea was to create something beautiful that all the regular people could enjoy, or if you are more cynical you could say it was to attempt to show off how well they were doing.

Book your tour: Moscow: Small Group Metro Tour

The Round houses at Dovzhenko Stree t

The Round houses at Dovzhenko Street look super cool and futuristic, except like many communist projects didn’t actually work that well. They were supposed to be something new and different from the standard “Soviet Blocks.”

There are a number of problems with this design. Supposedly the acoustics are awful making the apartments perpetually noisy. The inner circle becomes a wind chamber even when it’s not that windy. My favorite weakness is that the trapezoid shape of apartments is hard to decorate and even harder to do maintenance on.

Izmailovo District and Izmailovo Kremlin

This area has to be one of the coolest places to visit in Moscow. It features a park in the middle of Moscow that is over 3x the size of New York City’s Central Park. The Kremlin in Izmailovo is a complex located in the Eastern Administrative District of Moscow that is known as the center of culture and entertainment. The wooden buildings are in Russian architecture of the XVI-XVII centuries (not original).

Izmailovo Kremlin on Google Maps .

Tretyakov Gallery

For those that appreciate fine art this is where you have to go. The State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow Russia is the best collection of Russian fine art in the world. The museum previously hosted worldwide chess tournaments (I can’t help be think of the Queen’s Gambit).

Book your tickets in advance here. Tickets cost about $13 per person.

Kolomenskoe Estate

This reconstruction of a former royal estate is just a few miles southeast of the Moscow city center. Supposedly really detailed historical plans survived, so the reconstruction and current museum is incredibly authentic. It was completed in 2010.

Old buildings of Arbat

Arbat is an old street, and was previously the “nicest place to live in Moscow. Even though it fell into disrepair, it’s location, it’s historical buildings, and the fact that it is a pedestrian street are quickly making it a top place to live again.

The Melnikov House

Located on Arbat street, the Famous house of architect Melnikov designed this house (and Lenin’s sarcophagus). Melnikov designed it at a time when private ownership was outlawed, but got around this restriction by saying it was an experimental design to maximize space. Even though others weren’t built, he was able to keep it.

The New Maiden Convent

The New Maiden Convent, built was built to resemble a mini-Kremlin. It stands out to me because this “convent” was the place where women who were no longer welcome in the royal court were banished to.

Monument to the Conquerors of Space at the Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics in the Cosmopark

The Americans may have made it to the moon first, but the Russian cosmonauts were first in a number of other achievements. This gigantic obelisk pays homage to their accomplishments.

Tsaritsyno Museum Reserve

This royal estate was founded by Catherine the Great. She was Russia’s longest serving female leader. It is now a gorgeous museum!

Stalinist Skyscraper tour

This group of seven skyscrapers are called the Seven Sisters. They were all made in the Stalinist style, and one was previously the tallest building in Europe. If you want to tour them all while learning about their history book here .

Cathedral of Christ the Savior

It’s ironic that a country that was so anti-religion for so long has so many great churches. The Cathedral for Christ the Savior was made to thank Jesus for saving Russia. If you are interested in visiting this and so many other cathedrals in Moscow I recommend this tour that will take you to The Cathedral of Christ the Savior many other popular churches in Moscow.

Cathedral of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God

This church on Red Square is reconstruction of what was previously there but ordered to be destroy by Joseph Stalin. It is a travesty thinking of all the beautiful things that Stalin destroyed to attempt to implement his vision.

Zaryade Park

Zaryadye Park is one of the main tourist attractions in Moscow. It is located directly next to the Kremlin, and offers truly amazing views. It is also famous for its “floating bridge” and the fact that there are so many unique features underneath it.

Church of Sign of Blessed Virgin in Dubrovitsy Znamenskaya

The Church of the Theotokos of the Sign (Dubrovitsy), or The Church of the Holy Sign of the Mother of God is located in a village amed Dubrovitsy about 20 miles south of Moscow. It is another Russian Orthodox church, but what makes this one unique is that we aren’t 100% sure who made it, or why is has a style that is completely different than other churches of the time.

The Church of Nicholas The Wonderworker

I love the unique style of the Russian Orthodox churches in Moscow. The golden onion domes stand out across the globe. This church dates back to 1657, though it has been partially destroyed a few times since then.

Moscow University

Moscow University is one of the Seven Sisters that are the “Stalin Skyscrapers.” Previously it was the tallest building in Europe. Though it has lost that title, it is still the tallest “educational building” in the world.

So what do you think? Next trip to Moscow?
