Things To See And Do In Moscow
Russia is an absolutely beautiful country and it’s absolutely packed with things to do. If you’re planning to spend a bit of time in Moscow, here are a few top tips for must-see attractions. First up is the Kremlin. The center of Russian government, this old fortress offers brilliant guided tours to make sure you see all the best bits. It includes government buildings, an armory, cathedrals, museums and a palace, making it a brilliant place to spend a day out in Moscow.
Another absolute must-see is the famous Red Square, named in the seventeenth century after an old Russian word for ‘beautiful’. To see a little piece of history, check out the rebuilt Resurrection Gate, which had stood at the entrance to the square for hundreds of years before Stalin ordered it demolished in the Cold War. Also make time to visit the colorful St Basil’s Cathedral. A Russian masterpiece, it was built in the sixteenth century on the decree of Ivan the Terrible.
Another great Moscow attraction is the Bolshoi Theater, which is perfect for the culture lovers among you. This is Russia’s largest and most famous theater and it’s well worth finding time to squeeze in a show, although make sure you’re not overcharged as foreigners often end up paying more at kiosks than locals do, so try to book before you go. Home to the Bolshoi Ballet, the recently renovated auditorium has five tiers and is decorated in the 19th century neoclassic Russian style.
For a brilliant tourist experience, head to the Old Arbat. This gives you the chance to see a piece of Russian history up close, and the street was once home to many writers, painters, composers and artists. For example, the former home of Pushkin, a celebrated Russian writer, is now a museum that’s well worth a visit. This cultural center is a brilliant place to pick up some souvenirs or art and visit some fantastic cafes in a tourist hub that still keeps its old charm.
Somewhere else that’s great to visit in Moscow is the Novodevichy Convent. It was established in 1524 and translates as ‘New Maidens Convent’. It is surrounded by a beautiful park and the cathedral, convent and cemetery are all open to visitors. Many famous Russians are also buried there, such as the sister of Peter the Great, the writer Chekhov and the composer Shostakovich. Whatever your tastes and whatever you like to do on vacation, you are bound to find something you love in Moscow.

White Nights [VHS] $1.95 Sometimes movies are built around a great idea begging for a story, in this case pairing ballet legend Mikhail Baryshnikov with tap great Gregory Hines. The resulting storm of dance in White Nights, as one would expect, is great, but the story is a little forced.
