Privet & Welcome to Moscow!

Moscow is one of the oldest and most beautiful Russian cities and there is a lot to see and do in Moscow. At the very heart of the city, and indeed the country, is the Kremlin, the official residence of the country's President and the Russian place of command for almost eight centuries, as well as the religious centre. This vast urban space has been the centre of life in the country and many of Russia's prominent educational institutions, transport systems, financial markets and religious monuments and movements are based out of here.

Red Square with the bulbous, multicoloured domes of St Basil's Cathedral of Moscow, have been an image synonymous with the Soviet Union and Russian state, and is another must see destination of Moscow. Taking one of our Moscow Tours of the Kremlin and Red Square is a fascinating experience and some of the highlights of a trip to Moscow. Another highlight is a trip to a concert hall, the grandest of which is the Bolshoi theatre in Moscow.

Tourist infrastructure in Moscow has improved greatly over the years and there are outstanding restaurants, pubs and clubs of all description, as well as world-class Moscow hotels and just plain old good-valued places to stay in Moscow. You can even use our Moscow map to choose your hotel in Moscow based on its location.

One can often tell what is happening in the rest of Russia by visiting Moscow. Modern structures stand stall right next to age-old monasteries in Moscow. Social divides and extremes of wealth are also highly visible. You're just as likely to bump into a wealthy millionaire as you are to find a pensioner living on the poverty line. International designer labels are favoured over the urbane department store brands. Buildings, such as the cities churches, that had been defaced in the Soviet era are being restored to their former glory. Moscow is ever-changing and offers much to be discovered in little known back streets and quarters. Our company offers many great Moscow Hotels for your holiday in Moscow.

Situated on the banks of the Moskva River, Moscow has a population of approximately thirteen million and sits squarely in the Central Federal District. Sites of prominence are mainly on the Moskva's northern bank. Visit our accommodation page to find hotels by the Moskva River in Moscow. Apart from this river, the Yauza River also winds its way into Moscow and pours into the Moskva in the area to the east of the Kremlin. There are a number of educational, scientific, financial and sports institutions and facilities in this area of Moscow. Moscow's Public Transport is highly evolved, with the world's busiest metros serving the large urban area. The Moscow metro stations themselves are renowned for their exquisite architecture and design.

Moscow is laid out with Ring Roads encircling the city. These roads are concentric and broadly follow the same route that the old city walls used to. At the centre of them all is the Red Square and Kremlin area with the Boulevard Ring being the innermost road of the network. Make sure you check out our Moscow hotels near the Red Square! This road was built during the 1820s at the place where the walls from the sixteenth century once were. The Boulevard Ring road begins at the Christ the Saviour Cathedral in the south-west and ends at the Yauza in the south-east area of the city centre.

The best time to visit Moscow is the beginning of summer, when days are longer, or the beginning of autumn, when the trees are ablaze with the colours of the fall. July and August are the busiest time to visit and although the weather is warm it is rainy. While the thought of the icy Russian winter may put off some travellers, a visit here during winter can be a beautiful and fun experience. The adventure of exploring the city in huge fur coats and caps, glugging down vodkas for warmth and watching the snow form a white blanket on the famous monuments can be really memorable.If you would like more information about weather of Moscow visit our Moscow Weather Forecast page. Be sure to select and book from our Moscow Hotels well in advance because they can fill up quickly in the busy periods.
