The fresco «Holiday in Kiev», made in 1953 was practically destroyed in 2010, due to an accident during nearby constructing works. While the fresco recovery, restorers revived its original appearance that had gone through many changes since its creation.
Ploshad Revolutsii
The station was opened on March 13, 1938. The most interesting feature of the station is 76 bronze figures, situated in niches of 18 arches. This peculiar gallery of images of Soviet people, aimed to personify force and power of the country, its glorious past and bright future. One of the bronze sculptures â a dog that accompanies a frontier guard â is believed to bring good luck if you touch its nose.

Famous smalt panel «Mothers of the World» by A. N. Kuznetsov is situated in the lobby.
Komsomolskaya
Komsomolskaya station was opened on January 30, 1952. The station has rich decoration devoted to a fight of USSR against overseas aggressors and victory in the Great Patriotic War. Mosaic panels from smalt and valuable stones, created according to sketches of the Lenin Award winner Pavel Corin, represent famous Russian commanders and weapons of different eras.
Novokuznetskaya
The station was opened on November 20, 1943. Its name was originally written through a hyphen: âNovo-Kuznetskayaâ. The interior of the station is rich with decorating elements. The idea of creative force and power of Soviet people, its remarkable victories in the Great Patriotic War found realization in architectural design of station. The perimeter of the escalator arch is decorated with bronze sculptures by the sculptor N.V.Tomsky.
Novoslobodskaya
Novoslobodskaya station was opened on January 30, 1952. It was called after Novoslobodskaya street, where the station is situated. 32 original stained-glass windows from multi-colored glass, framed with steel and gilded brass and the famous mosaic panel «World peace», situated at the face wall the station, are made by sketches of Pavel Dmitriyevich Corin.
Dostoyevskaya
Dostoevskaya is comparatively new station, opened on June 19, 2010. It is situated at Suvorovskaya Square. Russian writer Fedor Dostoyevsky was born and lived in this district of Moscow. Therefore, the station bears his name and features scenes from his works «Crime and Punishment», «The Idiot», «Demons», «The Brothers Karamazov». Artist Ivan Nikolaev, the author of the decoration, said that depicting scenes of violence shows depth and tragedy of Dostoevskyâs work.
2. General information about Moscow metro
Metro working hours, navigation, wi-fi.
The Moscow Metro is open from about 5:30 am until 1:00 am. The precise opening time varies at different stations according to the arrival of the first train, but all stations simultaneously close their entrances and transitions to other lines at 01:00 am for maintenance. The minimum interval between trains is 90 seconds during the morning and evening rush hours. Each line is identified according to an alphanumeric index (usually consisting of a number), a name and a color. Voice announcements in Russian refer to the lines by name and by numbers in English. A male voice announces the next station when traveling towards the center of the city or the clockwise direction on the circle line, and a female voice â when going away from the center or the counter-clockwise direction at the circle. The lines are also assigned specific colors for maps and signs.
Free Wi-Fi is called MT_FREE and available on all 14 lines (inside the trains).
Using Metro services is frequently the fastest and the most efficient way to get from one part of the city to another. But during daytime Moscow Metro stations are usually overcrowded so if you want to just enjoy the beauty of the underground, itâs better to visit it late in the evening.
MCC and MCD
Since 2016 The Moscow Metro is connected to two new types of rail transport. The first one is MCC â Moscow Central Circle. It has 31 stations around the city with changes to metro stations (most of them require to walk a few minutes via the street). The second one is MCD, Moscow Central Diameters, a system of city train services on existing commuter rail lines in Moscow and Moscow Oblast. MCD has several lines, they’re being marked as D1, D2 etc. Changing to both MCC and MCD from the Metro is free when your journey is within the city. Both MCC and MCD lines exist on all of the Moscow Metro maps.
Interesting facts about Moscow metro
213 people were born in the metro during the World War II, when it was used as a bomb shelter.
There are 76 bronze sculptures of workers, peasants, soldiers, sailors, etc. at Ploshchad Revolyutsii station. There is legend connected with this station. To pass any examination successfully, a student should touch the bronze dogâs nose («the Frontier Guard with a Dog» sculpture). You can easily understand high popularity of this legend by looking at the polished nose of the dog.
It is said that some of the magnificent mosaics at several central stations, for example the «World Peace» mosaic at Novoslobodskaya, were made with the pieces of enamel and smalt, taken from the famous Christ the Savior Cathedral, before itâs destruction.
As any other dungeon the Moscow metro, has its own ghosts. The most famous one is the old lineman. He is not dangerous and usually hides into the wall, when people appear. The ghostly metro train is much more dangerous. It appears after midnight at the Circle Line and consists of old-time carriages. It sometimes stops at the stations and opens its doors, and then goes back into the darkness. It is said that the souls of Stalinâs prisoners, perished during the building of the metro are locked in the train forever.

17 Places to Visit in Moscow on a Budget
Looking for honest, low-cost tips on what to do in Moscow? Here is my suggestion on places to visit in Moscow, which I created during my three-month stay in this Russian metropole.
Before we jump to the top places to visit in Moscow letâs talk about the transportation you will need to use. Ideally, you should get a map of Moscow that includes the metro map. If you love to carry a printed version with you, I suggest getting the Lonely Planet Moscow Travel Guide that includes the metro map. If you are fine without it, you should at least download the offline version of Google Maps to make it easier to navigate in Moscow.
Without further ado, letâs dive into the best things to do in Moscow.
Table of Contents
1. Visit the Red Square
The Red Square is without a doubt the most iconic place to visit in Moscow. It is located in the heart of Moscow close to the metro station Ploshchad’ Revolyutsii (blue line) , surrounded by the Kremlin and the famous shopping center GUM.
From the Red Square you can also visit further points of interest such as the St. Basilâs Cathedral, Kremlin, the Lenin Mausoleum or the Bolshoi Moskevsky most , which is a great spot to take pictures from.
The Red Square is on top of the list of places to visit Moscow since you canât skip this when doing some sightseeing in Moscow.
The St. Basilâs Cathedral is beautiful to look at but not as breathtaking from the inside. If you are on a budget it is not a âmust-visitâ place in Moscow.

2. Visit Lenin’s Mausoleum
Right in the middle of the Red Square, you will notice a strange building which will remind you on a pyramid. This is Lenin’s Mausoleum.
I highly recommend you to not skip this tourist attraction in Moscow. Itâs an experience by itself. The area is surrounded by Russian soldiers which monitor every step you make.
Just make sure you are polite and show some respect when visiting Lenin’s Mausoleum.
There are no entry fees and itâs open daily from 10:00 to 13:00h. Be aware however that it is closed on Mondays and Fridays.
Click here to bookmark the location of Lenin’s Mausoleum
3. Try Russian Food at Teremok
The easiest and cheapest way to try local food is to go to the Russian fast food chain Teremok. You can find them everywhere. There is also one located close to Red Square.
It is a great opportunity to grab some food if you plan on taking the free walking tour , that ends right at Alexander’s Garden. Even if you like to explore Moscow on yourself. Alexander’s Garden is a great spot to watch the change of the guards, which might be of interest to you.
When it comes to Russian food I suggest you go for the Blini (Russian pancakes filled with various toppings) and Syrniki (Russian dessert made from cheesecake).
You can find the Teremok food court in the underground shopping mall next to the Alexander Garden. Learn more about the food I tried in Russia here.

4. Walk Through the City Center
The great things about Moscow city center are that you can walk to many points of interest by foot. Be aware however that the city center is quite big. Bring enough water with you to keep hydrated. Especially during the summer, it can get very hot.
From Alexander’s Garden, you can walk up the street to Bolshoi Theater and Tverskaya street. I personally enjoyed exploring the side streets where there isnât too much traffic. You will find a lot of coffee places and local shops that will give you a sneak peek into Russian culture.
If you decide to visit the Bolshoi Theater you can view whatâs being performed here . The tickets are usually around 3ooo rubles.

5. Walk to the Arbat Street
When exploring Moscow you should not miss the Arbat district with its icon Arbat street .
This one-kilometer long street belongs to the oldest streets in Moscow and is the place where you can spot local artist and musicians.
It is one of my favorite streets as it is for pedestrians only so you will not be bothered by any traffic. The best way to get there is by taking the metro blue line to Arbatskaja or walk from Red Square.
Click here to bookmark the location of Arbat street
6. Visit “Moscow City” the Highest Towers in Europe
If you want to admire some âmodernâ architecture, go see the Moscow city. Itâs a complex of the highest skyscrapers in Europe. Apart from the skyscrapers, there is however not much to see.
If you have the budget and enjoy a nice view of the city you can visit the rooftop bar called, Sixty Bar which is located on the 60th floor in one of the towers at Moscow City. , The closest metro station to Moscow city is called Vystavochnaya (light blue line).
If you are on a tight time schedule, you can skip this attraction.
7. Visit VDNKH and the Museum of Cosmonautics
A place yo need to visit in Moscow is the VDNKH complex and the Museum of Cosmonautics. It is one of my favorite places to visit in Moscow.
The Museum of Cosmonautics tells the story behind Russian space exploration. You can also learn about the two dogs Belka and Strelka that made it to space. The entrance is only 200 rubles which is a good deal.
VDNKh is an amusement and exhibition park and in winter the home of the largest ice skating rink in Russia. The atmosphere at VDNKh is great.
Both points of interest are close to each other. The closest metro station is called Prospekt Mira.
Click here to bookmark the location of VDNKh
8. Visit Zarizyno Park
Moscow is full of beautiful parks, one of them is called Tsaritsyno. Itâs located approximately one hour south of the city center. If you feel like escaping the noise of busy Moscow this is the place to relax and connect with nature.
You can get to Zarizyno Park with the green line all the way to the Metro Station Tsaritsyno.
Be aware that the visit of the Zarizyno Park will probably take you at least 4 to 5 hours as the park is quite big and it takes a while to get there.
Click here to bookmark the location of the Zarizyno-Park
9. Visit Kolomenskoye
Another place to visit in Moscow is the former royal estate complex called Kolomenskoye. This place is a bit off the beaten path and is usually not visited by many tourists. You can connect the visit with the above mentioned Zarizyno Park if you have some days left in Moscow and you need a break from the city center.
The walk around Kolomenskoye gives you a better impression of the Russian culture as it is located in one of Moscowâs suburbs.
Click here to bookmark the location of Kolomenskoye
10. Visit the Gorki Park the Riverside of Moskva
Closer to the city center, right next to the river Moskva you will find Gorki Park. In summer this spot is the place to go, relax, socialize and enjoy the vibes at the river. In winter itâs a great spot for ice skating.
It is a good place for a date as well :)
Click here to bookmark the location of Gorki Park
11. Watch an Ice Hockey Game
If you happen to be in Moscow around the ice hockey season you need to visit one of the games. A thing to do in Russia is to see a KHL ice hockey game.
The atmosphere is absolutely worth it. The tickets start at 200 rubles and you can buy it in front of the stadium or buy it online. View the schedule of upcoming games here .
Click here to bookmark the location of the VTB Arena
12. Visit the Moscow State University MGU
The building of the Lomonosov Moscow State University is one of the seven sisters, a group of seven skyscrapers which look the same. If you ever visit Moscow you will notice that there are few buildings which look alike.
This one is located south of the city close to the metro station Universitet and Vorobyovy Gory. You will need to walk for another 40 minutes from the metro station to get there.
The building is quite impressive, unfortunately, you canât access it without a valid student ID, but you can enjoy the view over the city from the observation deck in front of it.
I would suggest visiting this place also only if you have more days to spare in Moscow as itâs quite far from other points of interest.
Click here to bookmark the location of the MGU
13. Izmaylovo Kremlin and Market
A place that you should however not skip is the Izmaylovo Kremlin.
Did you know that Moscow has more than one Kremlin? This one is located in the east at the metro station Partizanskaja (dark blue line).
I personally prefer this Kremlin over the one on Red Square, which is not worth visiting in my opinion. Izmaylovo Kremlin is however definitely a place to visit in Moscow.
At the Izmaylovo Kremlin, you can find a market where people sell various Russian products. Itâs also a great place to buy some souvenirs for a much better price than in the center. Here you can always negotiate if you dare :)
Apart from the market, you need to try another Slavic specialty Shashlik, the best one I have had in Russia was here. The Izmaylovo Kremlin is a must-visit place in Moscow.
You can also walk through the nearby park from where you can have a quite impressive view on the Kremlin.
Click here to bookmark the location of the Izmaylovo Kremlin
14. Visit Krutitskoe Podvorye
Krutitskoe Podvorye is another off the beaten path attraction. Itâs a historical building, built some 400 years ago although it looks much older.
Itâs really impressive and worth the visit if you have time to spare in Moscow. Itâs a few minutes walk from the metro station Proletarskaya (purple line).
Click here to bookmark the location of the Krutitskoe Podvorye
15. Explore Novodevichy Convent
Similar to the visit of Krutitskoe Podvorye Novodevichy Convent is also a place to visit if you have planned more time for Moscow. It is probably the best-known cloister in Moscow.
Itâs interesting to look at and surrounded by a lake which creates a cozy atmosphere. From here you can also get a nice view of the skyline with the Moscow City in the background.
Click here to bookmark the location of the Novodevichy Convent
16. Cathedral of Christ the Saviour
The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour is by far the most impressive cathedral in Moscow. Itâs gigantic and absolutely worth the visit.
You should definitely include it to your list of things to do in Moscow. Itâs just a short walk from Kremlin and the entrance is free.
Click here to bookmark the location of the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour
17. Moscowâs Metro Tour
If you have not noticed yet, Moscow is also known for the most beautiful metro stations.
All of them are unique in their own way. My favorite is the Mayakovskaya station (dark green line).
You can read more about metro sightseeing in Moscow in my post about Metro sightseeing in Moscow . If you happen to be in Moscow on a rainy weekend, driving around and do some sightseeing of Moscowâs metro station can be a fun thing to do. During the week it’s mostly too crowded to be able to even take a picture of the metro station.
If you are intersted in to learn about the stories of Moscow’s metro, I suggest you book a guided tour.
Planning a short trip to Moscow?
As you can imagine, to visit all of the above-mentioned places in Moscow is not possible within a few days. If you plan to stay in Moscow just for about three to four days these are the places you need to visit in Moscow.
Places to visit in Moscow in three days:
- Red Square, Alexander’s Garden, Leninâs Mausoleum, Cathedral of the Christ the Saviour
- Izmaylovo Kremlin and Market, Gorki park, Arbat street
- VDNKH and the Museum of Cosmonautics
Here are a few suggestions for accommodation for your trip to Moscow:
Hostels from 8,76 EUR per night: Godzillas Hostel / Vagabond Hostel / Kremlin Lights
Mid-Range from 61 EUR per night: Holiday Inn Moscow Sokolniki / Vega Izmailovo Hotel & Convention Center / Moscow Point – Red October
Luxury from 99 EUR per night: Crowne Plaza Moscow World Trade Centre / Hotel Sadovnicheskaya / Savoy
This post about things to do in Moscow covers the most interesting places I have visited during my three months stay in Moscow.
What I love about this city is that most of the activities are for free compared to many other western cities where you need a much higher budget.
Travelers who only have a few hours to explore Moscow should book a tour to get the most of their time. This Moscow Tour covers all the major sights of the city in one day.

Thanks Markus, I am glad you enjoyed it :)
Wow, Moscow has so much to offer! :) I bet some of those things are free of charge. Me and Cez are planning to visit the city this summer. We would definitely visit the Gorky Park and walk at the riverside of Moskva :)!
indeed Agness :) be sure to plan a longer stay, Moscow is huge and it takes quite some time to see everything, if you have the time also check out St. Petersburg, you can get there by train (cheap if you book in advance) if you need some help with that let me know :)
Wow! Moscow looks beautiful, I have always wanted to visit Russia. St. Petersburg in particular. One day… Thanks for sharing your journey
You are welcome Shelly, I am glad you like it, St. Petersburg is great, you will love it. I have also published a post about Things to do in St. Petersburg feel free to check it out if you want :)
Thank you for a nice list. I really hope to be able to visit Moscow one day soon :)

By chance we found the Cosmonautic Museum is free on the 3rd Sunday in every month. Moscow is just unbelievable…I need to go back to see more.
I did not know that, thanks for your comment, I am glad you enjoyed the city :)
Thank you for the article. These are all I want to see in Moscow. I am sure I will like their food.
You are welcome Kishor, my favorite food experience was at Izmaylovo Kreml, go for saslik :)
So many architectural gems! Even their metros look like art galleries. Will totally use these recommendations, thanks!!
Thanks for the interesting and helpful article. I am in Moscow right now with my teenage son and we’re looking for more things to do. Now we have few more ideas! Thank you!
You are welcome Joanna, enjoy the trip :)
I am gonna visit Moscow this June. But I will be there for only 5 days. I don’t think I will be able to cover it all in just 5 days. So, which ones are must visit places out of these? I am curious. And are there any places where we can interact with the locals and experience true Russian culture? Thanks for this post though! I am very excited!
Hi Lakshya, 5 days is indeed to short for Moscow. It takes at least two weeks to explore the city (visit the main points of interest). Definitely check out the (day 1) red square, mausoleaum, (day 2) vdnkh, (day 3) Izmaylovo Kremlin, (day 4) Arbatskaya street. While moving through the city you will have the chance to explore the Metro stations as well (better on the weekends when it’s not that busy). Also check out one of their “Anti-cafe” concepts such as the one called Ziferblat :)
Very interesting & informative. Plan to visiting Russia end of December this year. 5 days Moscow, 4 days St. Petersburg, and 5 days Murmanks. Thanks đâ€
Hope you will enjoy it! Don’t forget to get some shashlik ;)

New ITU case study maps the Moscow âsmart cityâ journey
Moscow reports experience with Key Performance Indicators for Smart Sustainable Cities
A new ITU case study offers an evaluation of Moscow’s progress in meeting the objectives of its ‘smart city’ strategies and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The case study , Implementing ITU-T International Standards to Shape Smart Sustainable Cities: The Case of Moscow , was undertaken using the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for Smart Sustainable Cities developed by the United for Smart Sustainable Cities (U4SSC) initiativ e .
The ITU case study traces Moscow’s smart city journey from its origins in Moscow’s Information City strategy launched in 2011 to its successor the Smart Moscow 2030 strategy. It highlights the role of Moscow’s Government in coordinating the implementation of a wide array of smart city projects in the city and how these projects have substantially improved the quality of life for city residents. The report assesses Moscow’s smart city performance using U4SSC indicators that measure impact on three dimensions: the economy, environment and society & culture.
Information and communication technology (ICT) is a recognized key contributor to the Moscow economy. Building on its strengths and maintaining ICTs as a strategic lever, Moscow has adopted vibrant policies for ICT development and proliferation. These aspects are clearly reflected in the good performance by Moscow, as presented in the report, within the sub-dimensions of “ICT” and “Productivity”.
The case study also serves as a valuable reference point to other cities in Russia and Commonwealth of Independent State countries – as well as to cities around the world pursuing greater efficiency and sustainability. ITU standardization experts responsible for the refinement of the Key Performance Indicators will also find the case study to be valuable.
RELATED: Dubai reports results from implementing ITU’s Key Performance Indicators for Smart Sustainable Cities
“Home to more than 12 million people, Moscow is the largest urban area on the European continent,” said ITU Secretary-General Houlin Zhao. “Considering the size of Moscow and its population, this case study offers a unique set of lessons learned for other cities around the world developing a ‘smart city’ strategy. I commend Moscow’s leaders for their efforts to share these experiences and this knowledge with the international community, towards creating a ‘smart’ world for everyone, everywhere.”
“Moscow has made a rapid smart city journey from 2011 and we are keen on keeping up with the pace. No matter whether it is Moscow, Singapore or Barcelona – every city has the same task to make their residents’ lives enjoyable, safe and comfortable,” said Strategy and Innovations Advisor to the Chief Information Officer of Moscow, Andrey Belozerov. “We are happy to contribute to this research as it is important to develop universal metrics to access city performances all around the world.”
The findings of the case study will feed into the work of ITU’s Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) Study Group 20 , the expert group leading the development of ITU standards for the Internet of Things and smart cities. These standards assist in optimizing the application of ICTs within smart cities, in addition to supporting efficient data processing and management.
RELATED: New ITU case study shares insight into Singapore’s ‘Smart Nation’ strategy
The findings will also be taken up by the U4SSC initiative, which advocates for public policy to ensure that ICTs, and ICT standards in particular, play a definitive role in the transition to Smart Sustainable Cities. U4SSC also promotes the adoption of international standards in reaching the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the reporting of associated experiences.
The Moscow case study follows prior smart city case studies of Dubai and Singapore. These have made valuable smart cities experiences and knowledge available to other cities around the world. This reporting also solicits feedback that helps cities to refine their smart city strategies.
U4SSC has developed a ‘Collection methodology for the Key Performance Indicators for Smart Sustainable Cities’ to guide cities in their collection of core data and information necessary to assess their progress in becoming a Smart Sustainable City. It is supported by 16 United Nations bodies, including ITU, and is open to the participation of all stakeholders interested in driving smart city innovation.
The collaboration encouraged by U4SSC has led more than 50 cities to measure their smart city strategies using the U4SSC’s KPIs for Smart Sustainable Cities, which are based on the ITU international standard, ITU Y.4903/L.1603 “Key Performance Indicators for Smart Sustainable Cities to assess the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals” .
