Our philosophy

International Yoga is rooted in the belief that world travel and yoga have the power to transform. Since 2008 we’ve combined the best yoga teachers with some of the most compelling global destinations for truly unforgettable and life-changing journeys. Breaking away from our everyday routines and delving deeper into our practice in a new environment allows us to return home recharged, with a renewed zeal for the quality of our lives back home along with a richer understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

our teachers

International Yoga is privileged to support some of the most experienced and well respected yoga teachers in the industry. Our faculty, many of whom have 20+ years of teaching experience and with whom we have been collaborating for over a decade, bring a wealth of knowledge and unique perspective to the retreats they lead. Devoted to providing their students the richest experiences, IY manages all of the many details that go into creating meaningful and successful retreats from start to finish so that teachers can focus on what they love: teaching!

our Destinations

Finding the perfect retreat location is like finding a needle in a haystack. IY has combed the globe for the most compelling destinations, combining luxury accommodations with thoroughly unique cultural excursions. We have forged long lasting partnerships in locations like India, Bali, and Mexico working with the same teams for over a decade. This, along with our tried and true, quality properties ensures a smooth and meaningful travel experience from start to finish.

Merrisa Dolin

Merrisa comes to International Yoga with a background in yoga, tourism and event planning, and has directed operations for several companies in the yoga industry, including YogaWorks. Merrisa has completed over 1000 hours of teacher training and leads regular yoga classes in the San Francisco Bay Area. Having earned a Bachelor's degree in Tourism & Recreation, her mission is to help people enjoy their lives more fully through travel, yoga and adventure.

This experience pushed her out of her comfort zone and allowed her to see the world from an entirely new perspective. While she enjoys traveling in luxury, her true passion lies in witnessing the unveiled culture of a society. She firmly believes that everyone should take time to travel in order to see, taste, and feel all that this world has to offer. Merrisa looks forward to helping you embark on the journey of a lifetime!

Fiona O'Neill

Fiona O'Neill

Fiona brings her creative eye and passion for movement, design, and travel to her work at International Yoga. Growing up, she spent summers visiting family in Ireland. This sparked her interest in experiencing the diverse beauty of the world at a young age. Her journey with yoga began after a decade of professional dance training. She studied with master teachers in New York before moving across the country to California. Now a yoga teacher herself, she leads regular classes at studios in the San Francisco Bay Area. With a degree in communication and media and many years of experience working behind the scenes in the yoga industry, Fiona is dedicated to connecting people with ideas and tools for transformation — yoga and travel happen to be two of her favorite ways! When she's not designing retreat itineraries and curating our newsletters, she enjoys exploring the outdoors with her husband and two beagles!

Testimonials

I have known International Yoga for many years now! I first started to work with IY as a client and their retreats were always seamless, even to places like India! As a teacher, I began to work with IY, because of the unique itineraries and locations, but mostly because of Michelle! I feel incredibly supported every step of the way. IY is not a company I work with, but friends and collaborators!

I have had nothing but positive, supportive expeirences with International Yoga. I find their approach to negotiations, communication and all aspects of establishing a retreat to be fair and respectful. In my years of working with Michelle, I have learned so much through her generosity and abundant attitude. They care about the students, the teacher and the location hosts. She has established long-term relationships with many location guides which is priceless. I highly recommend a trip through IY, you are treated wonderfully.

Leading a retreat with International Yoga reminded me of how I believe the world could and should be. We came together with respect and curiosity: not only for the land we were on and the people and culture but also for each other. Diverse in age, life experience, and hailing from different parts of the US, we had one thing in common: a yoga retreat to Iceland. We are straight, LGBTQIA, white, and people of color; and we forged a community in one week. We learned from each other, made each other laugh, accepted differences, and educated ourselves by asking questions and listening to the answers. This is why I travel, and why I like to lead yoga adventures like this one. To expand my own awareness, to learn about the world around me as much as I learn about myself.

“ I can't speak highly enough, about how Bridget runs this business.

Our Guiding Philosophy

To guide people on a quest of life, meaning, and adventure. Fuel inspiration, exploration, and discovery of the world around us. Create value that enriches and improves the human experience. Seek purpose and meaning, wherever it may lie. Aspire to always push the boundaries of the unknown. Think differently about tomorrow, and seize the opportunities that will make it possible today.  

travel yoga company

We bring together artists and entrepreneurs, designers and developers, executives and explorers. Our community is made of curious intellectuals who value connecting with people who are different and live differently. We are inclusive and seek out diverse identities, cultures, sexualities, perspectives, and lifestyles.

travel yoga company

Place is not simply a destination. We believe that place is also a feeling. It can bring us nourishment, joy, and inspiration. Definitely inspiration. Place is defined by the meaning that people ascribe to it, and we value all the places we go to, and see to run our trips with the least environmental footprint as possible. We probably don’t brag about this enough.

travel yoga company

We believe true luxury is found in purpose. Our adventurous days often end in a dinner under the stars, enjoying a meal sourced from local ingredients while engaging in thoughtful conversations about our shared interests and passions. Each Unsettled experience is designed to foster purpose-driven connections before, during, and after your travels.

“I had spent 38 years of my life before Unsettled thinking that I was different to everyone else… Within 24 hours of meeting my Unsettled crew and hearing people understand how I thought about the world, I realised that I’d always just been in the wrong place with the wrong tribe. If you read the Unsettled manifesto and it resonates with you in any way, I’d recommend that you stop procrastinating and just join. You won’t regret it.”

Digital marketing strategist, south africa.

“The whole month of June was an unbelievable adventure – I tried new food, made friends with strangers, jumped off cliffs, appreciated new cultures and language, did flying yoga, hiked to dizzy heights…and more. Living Unsettled, to me, is to ‘un’ everything – unconform, unconstruct, unwind, unwork, unlearn, unadult, unthink life. Just flip it upside down and see what happens. Be unconventional.”

Roxana Balzac

Director of corporate strategy, puerto rico.

“Unsettled doesn’t just preach a lifestyle philosophy – they unapologetically live by their ethos. I gained eye-opening perspectives from a diverse group of bright, driven and creative professionals from all over the world. And most importantly, I found the motivation to finally follow through on the decisions that will define the next stage of my life with clarity and intention”

Travel and Yoga: Better Than Peas and Carrots

Female backpacker arms wide on dirt road with yoga mat. Here’s why travel and yoga are the perfect combo.

We all know that adventure travel is great for your mental health . BUT, there is no denying that international trips come with stressors. Tickets to purchase, planes (trains or automobiles) to catch, maps to navigate, foreign languages to stumble through, social norms to uphold—all while fighting jet lag?! Fortunately, there’s hope: yoga can actually help you travel smarter. Read on to learn why travel and yoga are the best combo since peas and carrots.

Yoga: It Fits In Your Suitcase

Whether it’s sore shoulders from heavy backpacks or tired feet from walking countless steps exploring a new city, traveling comes with a unique set of aches and pains. Adding daily yoga stretches to your itinerary will help your body recover after sitting on an airplane for seven hours (or after a long day of climbing the magnificent Rock Fortress of Sigiriya !).

Traveling Light

One of the reasons yoga is so amazing (and there are many !) is because it requires no special equipment. YOU are the machine! This makes it one of the most travel-friendly workouts. And while fitness experts say that missing workouts on vacation won’t hurt your fitness goals , even light exercise—like a quick yoga sesh in the Mayan Riviera —can help you keep your tone while adventuring abroad.

If you decide to pack a yoga mat, you can find affordable travel mats that fit in your carry-on. You’ll want one that’s lightweight but also durable (so you don’t lose that strong grip!). Odds are, you won’t even need to pack a mat—most accommodations offer yoga classes and can provide mats for you.

Book one of our all-inclusive yoga adventures and experience the perfect combination of travel and yoga with your own mat and instructor!

Say “Bye, Bye” to Jet Lag

In case you haven’t heard, regular yoga practice can actually enhance your quality of sleep , (especially Hatha yoga and Yoga Nidra). But did you know that travel and yoga work together to combat that pesky little phenomenon called jet lag?

What Is “Jet Lag”?

Jet lag is when your circadian rhythm doesn’t match the local time zone. (Say what?!) In other words, you’ve just flown to France and your body thinks it’s 2 am but the local time is 10 am. Seasoned travelers will tell you to tough it out and make yourself stay awake those extra eight hours so your body gets synced up with the local time zone. As you can imagine, eight hours feels like a looooooonnnggggg time when you’re going on 36 hours without sleep!

Yoga to the Rescue!

Never fear! Dropping into a few yoga stretches can help your body sync right up, especially if you already have a yoga routine established at home. Active poses stimulate blood flow through your body and release cortisol , giving you a natural boost of energy, while gentle poses can prep your body for sleep (not that you’ll need any help with that on your first night abroad!). Travel and yoga never felt so good!

Make Culture Shock Less… Shocking

Let’s be honest: international travel—while invigorating and important for emotional growth—can also be lonely. Culture shock , which usually happens on longer trips, is the feeling of being at odds with your host culture. It builds slowly from a series of small inconveniences or events that cause you to feel disconnected and want to withdraw from social situations.

Did Someone Say, “Instant Friends”?!

Fortunately, there are ways to mitigate culture shock, including journaling, staying active, and making friends with locals. As you’ve probably noticed from your own yoga journey, yoga is a natural community-builder. What once started as a Hindu tradition in India has now become the daily practice of millions across the globe. When you put travel and yoga together, you have an instant connection to millions of people around the world! Making friends never looked so easy.

You’ll never travel alone with our group adventure packages (friends are included!).

Keep Your Cool (Just Breathe!)

When it comes to travel, there’s a lot of unknowns. Sure, we can buy tickets, plan our itineraries, and book eco-friendly accommodations, but inevitably, something goes awry. There’s a long line at the currency exchange counter in the airport; you miss the bus for the hotel; the hotel loses your reservation and the only receptionist who speaks English is on leave. (You get the picture!)

A certain amount of international travel requires letting go and—you guessed it—taking a BIG. DEEP. BREATH. “Ahhhhhh!” Fortunately for you, this isn’t your first rodeo. You’ve been meditating, doing breathwork, and rocking those stress-relieving sun salutations in the months leading up to this big trip. You got this!

Are You Ready For Some Travel and Yoga?

Have we convinced you yet? Experience the magical synergy of travel and yoga by booking your next trip with The Travel Yogi. Our consciously crafted, culturally immersive itineraries take you deep into the local scene and off the beaten path. Find your perfect yoga adventure today .

Yogis react.

I am so happy that I purchased this mat for travel! It’s lightweight, compact, perfectly sticky, and has a natural feel keeping me connected to the Earth as I practice Yoga in new locations. Thank you Yogo for providing this quality mat to help keep my Yoga practice going with love and ease wherever I am!

Great travel mat! Sticky, grippy mat that is perfect. Truly portable and folds into sling nicely, I bought the large mat and still small enough to put into my luggage.

Love the ability to use wide mouth or smaller opening

I like the size and grip of the mat. Perfect for travel.

The Ultralight Folding Yoga Mat is fantastic. I wish I had found it sooner. The grip is better than any other mat I have used. It folds up compactly for travel with attached straps/handle. I especially like that it folds back on itself so the downward surface only touches itself, not the top of the mat or inside of my luggage. If you need a light mat for home or travel, do not hesitate - this mat is great!

this is so cute and easily fit in my suitcase. I am hoping to take to Europe in a 19Inch suitcase. It is easy to fold up and clip together. I currently have in my bedroom for any quick yoga at 0300 and travel plan to buy for friend.

As I travel frequently for work I’ve become a minimalist packer. Having the portable and lightweight Yogo mat has been a game changer! In addition of being extremely compact, the Yogo mat sustains a sticky grip both on top and underside of the mat. The mat on the hotel carpet offsets the thin mat and provides a bit of cushioning. Cleaning the mat is a breeze thanks to the hang up straps. I don’t know how I survived this long without the mat! Do not hesitate to purchase, especially if you are a frequent traveller and want a very portable mat.

So excited to have a mat that is easy to travel with and love how the clean side only touches the clean side! Grippy and awesome...

Did lots of research online about travel yoga mats & this one was highlighted as a great one on many of them. I was a bit apprehensive to order as couldn’t seem to order from uk supplier, but I needn’t be worried- fast & efficient deliver from USA (no additional taxes required). Love love love that mat- looks cool, folds up very small & great grip. Everything I wanted & absolutely delighted!

This yoga mat is so easy to travel with! I love that it is made with sustainable materials. It is thin, but it needs to be in order to travel with it. I love that it comes with its own carrying straps. Well made, and you can tell the company really cares. Highly recommend.

This mat is great, I tried it at a retreat center for an entire weekend, it's the perfect size and I got the slightly bigger one. The grip is good, I like that the floor side never has to touch the top side. I quickly got the hang of folding it back up. The attached straps did not get in the way, I thought they might but they didn't. I also got an excellent deal because I bought one with a "damaged box". I have to say the box was barely dinged, but it shows that Yogo cares about offering a quality product. I look forward to taking this mat on some real outdoor adventures next week.

This mat is incredible. It’s small and sticky. And I have super sweaty palms. I’m so grateful to have found Yogo! Thanks for a wonderful product ❤️

The material is amazing the mat is super “grippy” and I love it. I bought it to take on trips with me and I’ve been using it almost every time I practice lol MUST HAVE

It is super lite but so comfortable and not slippery like most of my other mats.

I have tried several different brand yoga mats in past years, and this is the best. My feet stayed firm and grounded through the whole class. I love the glossy sheen on top of the mat. I even like the way it smells. I placed the Yogo mat on top of a thick mat for cushioning and I couldn’t be more pleased. I am excited to try it in sweaty conditions, and it will be great for travel!!

Suarez is the executive director of We Heart Seattle, a non-profit that stages trash cleanups across the city. According to a recent report commissioned by Seattle Councilmember Andrew Lewis, the COVID-19 pandemic put undue pressure on the city's shelter system and delayed funds for new housing, leading to an increase in homelessness.

Moscow-City: 7 surprising facts about the Russian capital’s business center

travel yoga company

1. Guinness World Record in highlining

travel yoga company

The record was set in 2019 by a team of seven athletes from Russia, Germany, France and Canada. They did it on September 8, on which the ‘Moscow-City Day’ is celebrated. The cord was stretched at the height of 350 m between the ‘OKO’ (“Eye”) and ‘Neva Towers’ skyscrapers. The distance between them is 245 m. The first of the athletes to cross was Friede Kuhne from Germany. The athletes didn't just walk, but also performed some daredevil tricks. Their record is 103 meters higher than the previous one set in Mexico City in December 2016.

2. Domination of Europe's top-10 highest skyscrapers

7 out of 10 Europe’s highest skyscrapers are located in Moscow-City. Earlier, the  ‘Federation Tower’ complex’s ‘Vostok’ (“East”) skyscraper was the considered the tallest in Europe.

Left to right: the lower of the ‘Neva Towers’ (296 m), Commerzbank Tower in Frankfurt (300 m), Gorod Stolits (“City of Capitals”) Moscow tower (302 m), Eurasia tower (309 m), The Shard’ skyscraper in London (310 m), Mercury City Tower (339 m), Neva Towers (345 m).

Left to right: the lower of the ‘Neva Towers’ (296 m), Commerzbank Tower in Frankfurt (300 m), Gorod Stolits (“City of Capitals”) Moscow tower (302 m), Eurasia tower (309 m), The Shard’ skyscraper in London (310 m), Mercury City Tower (339 m), Neva Towers (345 m).

However, in 2018, the construction of the 462 meter tall ‘Lakhta Center’ in Saint-Petersburg was completed, pushing ‘Vostok’ (374 m) into 2nd place. The 3rd place is taken by OKO’s southern tower (354 m).

3. The unrealized ‘Rossiya’ tower

travel yoga company

If all the building plans of Moscow-City were realized, the ‘Lakhta Center’ in St. Petersburg wouldn't have a chance to be Europe's highest skyscraper. Boris Tkhor, the architect who designed the concept of Moscow-City, had planned for the ‘Rossiya’ tower to be the tallest. In his project, it was a 600 meter tall golden cylindrical skyscraper ending with a spire that was inspired by traditional Russian bell towers. Then, the project was reinvented by famous British architect Sir Norman Foster. He had designed ‘Rossiya’ as a pyramid ending with a spire. The skyscraper itself would have been 612 meters tall, and the height including the spire would have reached 744,5 meters (for comparison, the ‘Burj Khalifa’ in Dubai, UAE, would have been just 83,5 meters taller). Unfortunately, the investors faced a lot of economic problems, due to the 2008 financial crisis, so the ‘Rossiya’ skyscraper was never built. A shopping mall and the ‘Neva Towers’ complex was constructed at its place in 2019.

4. Changed appearance of ‘Federation Tower’

travel yoga company

In its first project, the ‘Federation Tower’ was designed to resemble a ship with a mast and two sails. The mast was to be represented by a tall glass spire with passages between the towers. It was planned to make a high-speed lift in it. The top of the spire was going to be turned into an observation deck. But the ship lost its mast in the middle of its construction. Experts at the Moscow-city Museum based in the ‘Imperia’ (“Empire”) tower say, that the construction of the spire was stopped, firstly, due to fire safety reasons and secondly, because it posed a threat to helicopter flights – the flickering glass of the spire could potentially blind the pilots. So, the half-built construction was disassembled. However, an observation deck was opened in the ‘Vostok’ tower.

5. Open windows of ‘Federation Tower’

travel yoga company

We all know that the windows of the upper floors in different buildings don’t usually open. Experts say that it’s not actually for people’s safety. Falling from a big height is likely to be fatal in any building. The actual reason is the ventilation system. In a skyscraper, it’s managed with a mechanical system, and the building has its own climate. But in the ‘Zapad’ (“West”) tower of the ‘Federation Tower’ complex, the windows can open. The 62nd and last floor of the tower are taken up by a restaurant called ‘Sixty’. There, the windows are equipped with a special hydraulic system. They open for a short period of time accompanied by classical music, so the guests can take breathtaking photos of Moscow.

6. Broken glass units of ‘Federation Tower’

travel yoga company

The guests of the ‘Sixty’ restaurant at the top of the ‘Zapad’ tower can be surprised to see cracked glass window panes. It is particularly strange, if we take into consideration the special type of this glass. It is extremely solid and can’t be broken once installed. For example, during experiments people threw all sorts of heavy items at the windows, but the glass wouldn’t break. The broken glass units of ‘Zapad’ were already damaged during shipment . As each of them is curved in its own way to make the tower’s curvature smooth, making a new set of window panes and bringing them to Russia was deemed too expensive . Moreover, the investors had financial problems (again, due to the 2008 financial crisis), so the ‘Vostok’ tower even stood unfinished for several years. Eventually, the cracked window panes were installed in their place.

7. The highest restaurant in Europe

travel yoga company

‘Birds’, another restaurant in Moscow-City, is remarkable for its location. It was opened at the end of 2019 on the 84th floor of the ‘OKO’ complex’s southern tower. Guests at the restaurant can enjoy an amazing panoramic view at a height of 336 meters. On January 28, the experts of ‘Kniga Recordov Rossii’ (“Russian Records Book”) declared ‘Birds’ the highest restaurant in Europe, a step toward an application for a Guinness World Record.

19 Unique And Fabulous Experiences In Moscow

travel yoga company

  • 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.

Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, Russia

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.

Interior of the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscos

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.

GUM, a popular department store in Moscow

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.

Christ the Savior Cathedral in Moscow

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.

Gates at Gorky Park in Moscow

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.

River cruise in Moscow

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.

Moscow Metro station

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.

Moscow State University at dusk

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.

Izmailovsky Market in Moscow, Russia

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!

The skyscrapers of Moscow City

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.

Art in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow

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!

Tsaritsyno Museum Reserve, former residence of Catherine the Great

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.

Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve 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.

Ostankino TV Tower in Moscow at night

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.

The floating bridge of Zaryadye Park in Moscow

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.

The rooftops of Moscow, Russia

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!

A pool at Sanduny Banya in Moscow

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.

Here are some other reasons to visit Moscow and Russia:

Josh Allen's Teammate Says NFL Star 'Is In Love' With Hailee Steinfeld

Usher vacations in bali with russell simmons, partakes in yoga session, usher bali vacation with russell simmons ... let's do yoga, 635 3/4/2024 3:53 pm pt.

Usher made a pit stop on his Bali vacation, visiting one of the island's most famous residents ... Russell Simmons .

The singer carved some time out from his own getaway with his wife, Jennifer Goicoechea , to meet up with the hip hop mogul for some yoga, meditation and inner peace ... and it sounds like Usher's visit is lifting Russell's spirits.

The Def Jam co-founder shared video Sunday of him leading a yoga class, with Usher occupying one of the mats on the first row ... and it looks like they got in a great stretch, working up a sweat.

Russell had nothing but good things to say about Usher's presence, saying his old pal exuded an amazing "generosity of spirit" and overall great energy.

Russell also posted a bunch of smiling photos with Usher during their time together, who appears to have been in the area on a getaway of his own ... this following their recent Las Vegas wedding .

In his social media posts, Russell explains how Usher came at the perfect time, saying ... "When i was at the lowest point in my life i woke up and this man was sitting by my bed .. i had known usher since he was a kid but we really bonded because of our mutual love for self discovery and our belief in Yogic science as a direct route to realizing Gods conciousness in ourselves."

Russell adds ... "People remember to remember this ..a friend walks in when others walk out ... i will never forget the generosity of spirit i witnessed in this man God bless you baby bro @usher 🙏🏽 love you !!!!"

As you know, Russell's lived in Bali since 2017 and he's been slammed with multiple sexual misconduct lawsuits and allegations , which he says have caused him great suffering .

Russell has denied ever sexually assaulting anyone ... and despite those problems, they don't seem to be affecting his relationship with Usher.

This Semi-private Jet Company Is Giving Away Seats to See the Solar Eclipse From the Sky — How to Win

The sweepstakes closes on Thursday.

travel yoga company

Icon Sportswire/Getty Images

Semi-private jet company JSX is offering a luxurious way to see the total solar eclipse next month with a sweepstakes that will give 12 lucky space fans the chance to see the phenomenon from the air for free.

The sweepstakes, which is open until March 14, will select six winners to join a special two-hour flight on April 8 that will depart Dallas and fly into the path of totality, JSX shared with Travel + Leisure . Each winner will be allowed to bring one guest. 

“With Dallas taking claim as the biggest city in the path of totality, we are thrilled to make this ultra premium and rare viewing opportunity a reality via JSX,” the carrier’s CEO Alex Wilcox said in a statement provided to T+L. “We’re committed to prioritizing safe, simple, joy-filled flights for all and are ecstatic to be able to provide travelers with the ultimate JSX experience in tandem with this once-in-a-lifetime celestial event.”

The flight will depart JSX’s hangar at Dallas-Love Field Airport at 1 p.m. CT, circle the city, and then land back at the airport at 3 p.m. CT. The flight will be led by former NASA astronaut and current JSX pilot Bill Gregory, who previously served as NASA’s Space Shuttle Endeavour pilot and has completed 262 orbits. In addition to flying the aircraft, JSX said Gregory will provide expert commentary throughout the flight.

All passengers will receive a window seat, special glasses to safely view the eclipse, themed solar eclipse cocktails, and complimentary sun protection.

Space fans can enter to win a seat on the special flight by filling out an online application .

The total solar eclipse , which has been dubbed the Great American Eclipse, is expected to cross the country from Texas all the way to Maine on April 8. The next total solar eclipse won't be visible from the contiguous U.S. until 2044, according to NASA .

JSX flies small regional jets out of quiet and uncrowded private jet terminals , offering passengers perks like free onboard Wi-Fi from SpaceX’s Starlink .

JSX isn’t alone in offering travelers a chance to see the eclipse from 30,000 feet: carriers like Delta Air Lines , Southwest , and Alaska Airlines have all detailed flights that will pass through the path of totality or scheduled special flights to see the phenomenon.
