Things to Do in Moscow

As the vibrant capital of Russia, Moscow overflows with history, art and culture. This is a fast-changing, modern metropolis of 12 million, but through its historic buildings, museums and monuments, Moscow is a city that also embraces its past. The size and scope of Soviet-style architecture and infrastructure is unmistakably Russian.

St. Basil’s Cathedral and the Kremlin are among the must-see Moscow landmarks, while the Bolshoi Theatre stages some of the world’s best ballet and opera performances in a majestic gilded setting. Even far below the city streets are some fascinating sights including the top-secret nuclear hideout Bunker 42 and the glorious Metro stations that look more like subterranean palaces.
