NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

James Bond legend pleads guilty in bizarre court case after ‘impulsive mistake’

Pierce Brosnan at the 2024 Oscar Wilde Awards

Pierce Brosnan has pleaded guilty to walking off a trail in a thermal area during a visit to Yellowstone National Park.

The former James Bond star, 70, was fined $500 (£392) and ordered to donate $1,000 (£784) paid by April 1 to Yellowstone Forever, a non-profit organisation that supports the park, according to court documents.

In January, the actor’s lawyer had appeared on his behalf to plead not guilty to the ‘petty offence’ and requested a trial.

However, Brosnan pleaded guilty to ‘foot travel in all thermal areas and within Yellowstone Canyon confined to trails’, while the second charge of violating closures and use limits was dismissed by US Judge Stephanie Hambrick.

Taking to Instagram to address the case, Brosnan shared his ‘deep regret’ for walking off the trail at the iconic tourist attraction.

‘As an environmentalist I have the utmost respect for and love of our natural world,’ he wrote.

https://www.instagram.com/p/C4gjI90vK94/?hl=en&img_index=2

‘However, I made an impulsive mistake – one that I do not take lightly – when entering a thermal area covered in snow in Yellowstone National Park to take a photograph.

‘I did not see a “no trespassing” sign posted that warned of danger nor did I hike in the immediate area.

‘I deeply regret my transgression and offer my heartfelt apologies to all for trespassing in this sensitive area. Yellowstone and all our National Parks are to be cared for and preserved for all to enjoy.’

The park’s website stresses the dangers of straying from designated paths, warning of acidic pools.

‘In thermal areas, the ground may be only a thin crust above boiling hot springs, and there is no way to guess where a safe path is,’ it stated.

‘New hazards can bubble up overnight, and pools are acidic enough to burn through boots, so you must stay in designated walking areas.

Hot springs at Yellowstone National Park

‘The park service has established boardwalks for an easy and safe approach to thermal features.’

Since the 1800s, at least 20 people have died in thermal areas in Yellowstone National Park and in November 2022 the foot of a dead man from Los Angeles was found floating in one of the park’s hot springs.

Brosnan had previously pleaded not guilty to walking in an off-limits area near Mammoth Hot Springs on November 1, in the northern part of Yellowstone near the Wyoming-Montana border.

Mammoth Hot Springs is a scenic tourist spot with hot springs alongside travertine terraces, while going out of bounds can prove dangerous with water at or near boiling point.

He was charged with ‘foot travel in a thermal area’ and a ‘closure violation’ after his alleged entry into a restricted area of the park,

Vice president harris makes historic visit to planned parenthood in st. paul.

Vice President Kamala Harris made a historic stop at Planned Parenthood's St. Paul facility with Gov. Tim Walz on Thursday in an election-year effort to underscore the commitment of President Joe Biden to reproductive care.

The vice president's office said the visit marks the first by a sitting president or vice president to a clinic that provides abortions, but Harris emphasized the broader scope of care provided there.

"Please do understand that when we talk about a clinic such as this it is absolutely about health care and reproductive health care so everyone get ready for the language: uterus," she said. "That part of the body needs a lot of medical care, people."

Harris briefly toured the facility with Walz, Dr. Sarah Traxler, chief medical officer of Planned Parenthood North Central States; Ruth Richardson, Planned Parenthood's regional president and CEO; and U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum, who represents the area.

The vice president stopped for a few minutes to talk to the reporters packed into the reception room and drive home the administration's commitment to restoring the abortion protections the U.S. Supreme Court scrapped when it overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.

She thanked the clinic employees, Walz, McCollum and St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter for maintaining access to care. She denounced restrictions in other states that prevent women from obtaining similar care "within any reasonable distance" of their home.

"I've heard stories of and met with women who've had miscarriages and women who were being denied emergency care because the health care providers there at an emergency room were afraid that, because of the laws in their state, that they could be criminalized, sent to prison for providing health care," she said.

"So I'm here at this health care clinic to uplift the work that is happening in Minnesota as an example of what true leadership looks like," she added.

Vice President Kamala Harris addreses the media after touring the Planned Parenthood clinic in St. Paul on Thursday. Behind her are Gov. Tim Walz and Dr. Sarah Traxler, chief medical officer of Planned Parenthood North Central States.

Before leaving Minnesota, she made two more stops: a campaign event and a surprise visit to St. Paul Central High School's varsity and junior varsity preseason girls' softball practice.

At the clinic, Harris said it is always right for people to have access to needed health care in an environment where they are treated with dignity.

"Contraceptive care. That is the kind of care that happens here in addition to abortion care," she said.

Traxler said traveling to receive health care is intimidating and overwhelming for women and told of a patient who drove "hundreds and hundreds of miles" in a blizzard to get an abortion. "Our new abortion landscape. It is dangerous and it is putting our patients and health care providers at severe risk," Traxler said.

The St. Paul facility, part of Planned Parenthood North Central States, provides health care and sex education for all regardless of whether they have insurance. Traxler said visits from patients who don't live in Minnesota have doubled since Roe was overturned.

The Harris visit drove home the extent to which Democrats will highlight their support for reproductive care in the 2024 election where the president and Harris face a tough re-election fight against former President Donald Trump. In contrast, Trump appointed three of the Supreme Court justices who overturned the 50-year-old Roe decision.

A week ago, Biden emphasized his commitment to reproductive freedom and care in his State of the Union speech. Since then, Harris has been on a multistate tour demonstrating the administration's support for reproductive care.

"We have to be a nation that trusts women," she said.

When asked to address the 19% of voters who chose uncommitted in Minnesota's DFL presidential primary on March 5, Harris instead chose to stay on the topic of health care.

Minnesota has more abortion protections than most states. In 2023, the DFL-controlled Legislature and Walz codified abortion rights here.

Planned Parenthood North Central States covers Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota. The Dakotas ban abortion; Nebraska has a 12-week abortion ban. Iowa lawmakers convened a special session last year to pass a near total abortion ban; the legislation is on hold during a legal challenge.

A small group of protesters gathers Thursday across the street from the Planned Parenthood clinic in St. Paul as Vice President Kamala Harris’ motorcade drives away.

More recently, an Alabama Supreme Court ruling jeopardized IVF treatments in that state by declaring that fertilized eggs should be afforded the same legal protections as children. Walz said he wants the current Legislature to protect the procedure.

Amid heavy security at Planned Parenthood, a few sign-carrying protesters stood across the street near the busy University Avenue and Vandalia Street intersection.

Scott Pike of Falcon Heights said he has protested in front of the clinic for a decade. He demonstrates, he said, because he believes life begins at conception and considers abortion to be murder.

"If I were still in the womb, I would have value," Pike said. "Everything was there to make me who I am today."

A group of protesters was seen near her next stop, a campaign event at the Coven, a co-working space in the Blair Arcade near Cathedral Hill in St. Paul.

The vice president spoke to about 100 women as part of the Women For Biden-Harris initiative. She praised the DFL accomplishments of the 2023 legislative session, telling them they "have once again demonstrated to our nation just how much progress a Democratic trifecta can make. "

She also talked about Biden's accomplishments, including forgiving large amounts of student loan debt, investing in female entrepreneurs and small-business owners, and limiting prescription drug costs for seniors.

After she finished, Walz led the crowd in a chant of "Four more years!"

At Central High, excitement greeted Harris in the gym as the softball players realized who she was.

As the high school girls formed a circle around her, she told them: "You guys are the reason that I do what I do."

The vice president watched some ground-ball drills and shagged a stray ball. "I'm really impressed," she said twice. One player, wearing a crimson Harvard sweatshirt, exchanged a high-five with Harris and then looked down at her hand in seeming amazement, mouth agape, according to the pool report from the event.

The state GOP didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Staff writer Eder Campuzano contributed to this report.

15 reasons you must visit Moscow

Home / Russia Travel Experiences / 15 reasons you must visit Moscow

Home to almost over 12 million souls, Moscow is many things to many people, and everyone finds their own reasons to visit Moscow. There is an infinite number of reasons to visit Moscow and its attractions. To make it easier for travellers, we created a list of the crowd’s top fifteen reasons and attractions everyone should visit when in Moscow.

Table of Contents

1. Indulge in countless historical and modern artworks

Whether you are just dipping your toes into the art world or you know everything about arts, Moscow is a must-visit for every self-proclaimed or certified art connoisseur and historian. The city has numerous historical and contemporary museums and art galleries and they are essential in the list when you visit Moscow. Among the plethora of galleries and museums is The State Tretyakov Gallery  holding the world’s foremost collection of Russian fine art. Another is the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts which showcases artworks from the ancient times to this day such as the paintings of Rembrandt, Botticelli, Van Gogh, and Picasso. The Moscow Museum of Modern Art , on the other hand, displays artworks created in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Moscow tours Russia

Moscow is not only home to famous historical paintings, the city also showcases modern, educational, and multimedia arts. The Moscow Planetarium is one of the biggest planetariums in the world. It is an interactive museum that educates everyone with their scientific resources. The openness of Russia to new forms of arts can be seen in the Multimedia Art Museum, Winzavod (Wine Factory), Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Lumiere Brothers Photography Center . These art galleries unite all forms of media, arts, and modern culture.

For the love of art, moreover, they have converted former industrial areas to unique art spaces. ARTPLAY Center of Design and Flacon Design Factory are two of the known art spaces for local organisations and artists to express their creativity, host their own workshops, lectures, design festivals, concerts, performances, and exhibits. 

TIP: Open Museum Day in Moscow offers free day-time admission in most city museums every third Sunday of the month. Forty museums and art galleries are participating including the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow Museum of Modern Art, Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics , and State Museum of Ceramics and Kuskovo Estate of the 18th Century.

If you’re craving for more museum adventures, we have created a list of the best museum to visit in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

2. Step onto the mighty Red Square

Walk onto the uneven cobblestones alongside the throngs of bustling citizens and you’ll see centuries of Russian (and world) history reflected in the architecture of Red Square. It is the epicentre of Russia. The country’s major highways and Moscow’s main streets all originate from the Red Square. However, it is not only the heart of Russian streets but is also the heart of Russian history and culture where most of the biggest Russian events and changes unfolded such as high-profile executions and military parades. The city square also served as the main marketplace and site for national public ceremonies and festive processions. Being considered as a sacred place, it is absolutely a must-see when you visit Moscow.

Moscow tour Red Square Russia

Official commemorations and parades today are still mostly held in the square. The surrounding buildings of the Red Square also add great significance to why you should include the beautiful square on your bucket list when you visit Moscow. Some of these famous attractions are iconic:

  • St. Basil’s Cathedral
  • Lenin’s Mausoleum
  • The Kremlin
  • Kazan Cathedral
  • The historical GUM Department Store
  • State Historical Museum
  • The Iberian Gate (also known as the Resurrection Gate and Chapel

3. Visit the Moscow Kremlin

The Kremlin , together with Red Square was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1990. UNESCO included this architectural ensemble not just because of its outstanding design but also because of its rich historical and political linkage. That is why you should not miss this when you visit Moscow. It is located on Borovitsky Hill just above the Moskva River, on the west side of the magnificent Red Square. It serves as the Russian President’s residence and treasure houses such as the Armory Chamber Museum and the Russian Diamond Fund . Two Royal Cathedrals, the Secret Garden, and Ivan the Great Bell Tower are some of the attractions you can visit inside the Kremlin. Also, along the Kremlin wall is where you can see the gravestones of most Soviet leaders -including Stalin’s.

Moscow tour Russia

TIP: The Kremlin is open every day except on Thursdays and tickets for each establishment inside the Kremlin are sold separately. They also limit the number of daily visitors. May to September of every year is considered as the peak season.

4. Awaken your senses in the Bolshoi theatre

The Bolshoi Ballet Company is one of the most enduring symbols of Russia’s esteemed cultural traditions, and Moscow’s Bolshoi (Big) Theatre is the association’s fittingly elegant headquarters. Moscow’s oldest theatre has been painstakingly restored and renovated in recent years. It is a must-see day or night with their world-famous opera and ballet performances when you visit Moscow. Taking in an evening performance of a classic Russian ballet like Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker is one of the city’s most captivating cultural experiences.

Moscow tour Russia

Aside from the Bolshoi Theatre, there are around 170 theatres in the city; each of which features unique performances. It is the sole reason why Moscow is coined as the “City of Theatres”.  No matter what genre, as long as it is in Moscow it will be surreal.  No wonder the city attracts all theatregoers around the globe. To name a few, here are the must-visit theatres around the city: (1) Maly Theatre which showcases classic traditions of Russian Theatre, (2) Moscow Art Theatre combines classical and modern drama traditions, and (4) Theatre of Nations and (5) Gogol Centre further popularized modern arts such as post-drama and comedy production.

Russian ballet

TIP: Most people have been planning to witness a performance (especially in Bolshoi Theatre) for years. Remember to check and purchase tickets ahead of time before getting excited to watch the spectacular performance. Also, wearing your best evening dress won’t hurt.

5. Enjoy the ambiance of Moscow parks

While Moscow’s attractions are usually known as a mixture of extravagant Tsarist architecture and stern Soviet buildings, much of Moscow is actually surprisingly green and the city’s parks have grown into its pride and joy over the years. Take a break from walking around historical establishments and rest in these well-groomed green areas. These parks provide some of Moscow’s best people-watching spots and offer various activities you can do with your group or with the locals from playing sports and board games on the pavement to simply enjoying the outdoor cafes.

St Petersburg tour Russia

Slow down from the hectic pace of the city life by having a stop-over in the most popular green spaces when you visit Moscow. Gorky Park has its own telegraph and clinic, Park of Arts Museum often hosts music festivals, art fairs and exhibits, and lastly, Sokolniki Park and Izmailovsky Park have bike rentals and small amusement parks that are perfect for family day-outs.

6. Experience the magnificent Moscow Metro

Apart from being an extremely handy way to get around the city,  Moscow’s metro system  is a striking feat of engineering. Opened in 1935, it is one of the largest and oldest underground railway systems in the world. Its grand stations are remarkably beautiful. With their grandiose architecture, intricate mosaics, and dramatic sculptures, it has turned many metro stations into picturesque tourist attractions. There are 12 lines and a total of 200 stations. Elektrozavodskaya, Arbatskaya, Kievskaya, Komsomolskaya, and Mayakovskaya are just a few of the magical stations that seems to be like an underground palace.

Moscow tour Russia

Visit Moscow grand stations during “dead hours” —11 am to 2 pm or after 10 pm in order get the most out of the spectacular metro stations. And for the sake of courtesy and respect, always give your seat to Babushkas or the beautiful Russian grannies on the train. Train tickets can be shared and you can buy them for 1, 2, 20, 40, and 60 trips. Unlimited Metro travel for 1, 3, and 7 full days are also available from 210 to 800 rubles. Alternatively, you can purchase a Troika Card which costs 50 rubles and allows you to travel on all public transportation in Moscow.

7. Be amazed by the beauty & grace of Moscow’s churches

In Moscow, the majority of religion belongs to the Russian Orthodox Church which has 320 of total parishes in Moscow alone. Thus, it is not surprising that Orthodox churches and its unique architecture are one of the must-sees when you visit Moscow. Onion domes had long been known as the classic design of Orthodox churches in Russia. Below, we will mention some of the iconic churches you shouldn’t miss seeing in the city.

Moscow tour Russia

The Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed or St. Basil Cathedral is perhaps the most popular and most unusual church in the country. It is located at the Southern end of the Red Square. Built in 1555, it is originally called the Intercession Cathedral  to commemorate Ivan the Terrible’s victory over the Tatars. The bonfire-flame-shaped-cathedral has nine towers full of colours, shapes, and patterns. It was designed like a maze as a whole while each way leads to nine chapels with creatively decorated interiors. The magnificent cathedral is open every day except for the first Wednesday of every month.

With its golden onion domes, the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour  is the largest cathedral of all Russian Orthodox Church and has the capacity of over a thousand devotees. However, there is another known cathedral with golden domes —the Cathedral of the Assumption. What makes this cathedral different is that its domes are not just gold, but  they  are also light-reflecting sitting inside the Kremlin. Lastly, we would like to feature a church with neo-gothic architecture –the Moscow Immaculate Conception Catholic Cathedral.  It  is the largest Catholic building in the country. To this day, masses and Catholic religious services are still being conducted in different languages in the cathedral.

8. Visit Moscow streets and the monumental architecture

The beautiful architecture of museums and churches, makes each city street a sight to behold. For sure you’ll have a jaw-dropping moment at least once when you visit Moscow. The streets around the Red Square are a good start for you to stroll and have them as background for your OOTD photos. 

Russia tours Moscow

Tverskaya Stree t is known as Moscow’s fashion street and main street. This street is also one of the most expensive streets in the world, basing from the commercial rental fees. Another fashion district, Kuznetsky Most (literally translates to Blacksmith’s bridge)is where popular shops such as “Kuznetsky Most 20” – a famous concept store and “House of Foreign Books” (which is the best foreign-language bookshop) are located. Ulitsa Varvaka claims to be the oldest street and has the most churches in the city; it also shows the more medieval side of Moscow. If you are looking for high-end souvenirs, take a look at the shops on Arbat Street . Just do not forget to negotiate with the vendors and ask for discounts! Also, you get a chance to taste local vodkas as they offer free samples on the street.

9. Enjoy Moscow street food and fine dining restaurants

Moscow can surprise even the most demanding gourmands with the variety of foods , flavours and dining scenes the city has to offer. Russian cuisine is famous for exotic soups and rustic, hearty dishes like pelmeni (meat dumplings), pancakes with different fillings, and last but not the least, caviar. Sweets are also a big thing in the Russian kitchen and they are incomparable with other confectioneries that can be bought outside the country. “RotFront” soya bars , Chak-Chak Sticks and Kozinaki are just a few of the most popular sweet snacks in Moscow.

Russian food

Great food is everywhere, 24 hours a day in the city. Yar , one of the oldest restaurants in Russia has been serving local Russian cuisines for nearly a century now in Moscow. Another restaurant, Praga , which opened 150 years ago is known for its European and Russian dishes in addition to their pastry shop on the ground floor. Cafe Pushkin , a three-storey restaurant is open 24 hours a day. Each floor has its own menu and theme: the Pharmacy, Library, and the Fireplace Room. The Library floor is said to have the best view of the Tverskoy Boulevard during breakfast. However, if you want to time travel, find the secret door of Mari Vanna and experience what it is like to live in a Soviet home 50 years ago. Watch old Soviet channels and look through old bookcases and photos while having traditional Russian stews and pies. And oh, do not forget to book for tables!

Russian Food Guide Moscow Restaurants

But there’s so much more to Moscow’s modern gastronomic landscape. From sophisticated new takes on old-school cooking to cosmopolitan eateries offering refined cuisine from around the world, Moscow is also boasting with street foods. Chebureki or cheburechnaya, as what some cafes call them, are fried triangle-shaped thin dough stuffed with minced meat and spices. On the other hand, Blini is a better option for those who have a sweet tooth. They are crepes that can be filled with, cheese, jam, honey, ham, condensed milk, or red caviar. Today, Blini are famously made and sold in Teremok — a popular fast-food chain. Another fast-food chain has popularised a Russian local snack: Kroshka-Kartoshka . Although the name translates to “tiny potato”, they serve enormous baked potatoes with cheese, pickled mushrooms, butter, and other fillings. And lastly, pirozhki, which means pie seems to be the symbol of Russian street foods. Just look around the streets and try the four local snacks that we’ve mentioned and you’ll realise that every food is stuffed and/or filled with something. Now it is your turn to stuff your belly with Moscow street food!

10. Shop till you drop in Moscow boutiques

Muscovites are mad-shoppers and once you see the brands and collectives in each shopping centre, you might become one of them. From the most glamorous high-end fashion brands, art and design pieces, to antiques and traditional handicrafts, the opportunities for a hardcore spree are endless. Make sure to drop by the two most famous shopping centres, GUM and TSUM when you visit Moscow. They are must-visits even if you are only there to admire (or baulk at) their stupendous swankiness.

Moscow tour

GUM is on the east side of Red Square. It is a former State Department Store. The building’s architecture will instantly give you an extravagant feeling. However, along with its luxurious interior, comes the most luxurious brands and prices. It is open for twelve hours each day from 10 am to 10 pm. On the other hand, TSUM , a six-story historical gothic building is the largest high-end department store in Eastern Europe. There is a luxury supermarket which is open for twenty-four hours on the ground floor.

More affordable options are in the city’s many bustling flea markets, or in beautiful old boutique stores. Tsvetnoy Central Market and Kuznetsky Most 20 are just two of the known markets in the city where both hot and hippy street brands can be found. Local creative contemporary designers and high-end creatives are also housed in both markets.

11. Earn bragging rights with the perfect Instagram snap

Up your Instagram and Facebook feed with these views and different angles of the city. Shamelessly share your food and shoes with the streets and floors you’re walking into with your virtual friends. Or take a snap of the random streets of Moscow depicting their rich cultures. Also, do not forget the big picture! Which literally means photos of the whole city.

Moscow tour

Did you really visit Moscow if you don’t have any photo of the Red Square and Moscow Kremlin? Stand at the centre of Red Square and Kremlin, take the most iconic shot and show the world that you were actually in Moscow. We’ve listed three buildings that have the best top views of the city. The (1) Federation Tower which also has the highest restaurant in Moscow, (2) The Moscow State University has a panoramic view of the city inside The Museum of Geography on its top floor and (3) Cathedral of Christ ’s observation deck have the most breathtaking top views of the city.

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Garage Museum of Contemporary Art , GUM, ARTPlay , and Moscow Metro stations are just some of Moscow infrastructures perfect for your channel your inner artsy persona.  While walking around the Moscow CBD, do not forget to look up and take photos of the skyscrapers as far as your eyes and camera can reach. However, if you want to take a break from all the spectacular man-made architecture, take a stroll in Patriarch’s Pond , where you can feel like a real Muscovite and nature-lover.

12. Moscow never sleeps

>Let it be known: Russians love to party! And Moscow is undoubtedly the party capital of Russia. The capital city has an incredible array of nightlife options and a scene for everyone. Whether you’re keen to catch a live Russian rock band or slink into a smoky jazz club, Moscow is there for you. Go clubbing till the break of dawn or just lounge around with a beer and an endless array of fine local vodka. We have listed our top five bars and clubs to help you decide which one to go to. Go ahead and get your body moving along the music while drinking with Muscovites. In that way, you can actually experience Moscow.

parking at coronation st tour

Propaganda , or Probka as what regulars call it, is opened in 1997 and has about the same age as the Moscow club culture. Aside from local drinks and world-class DJs, the club is also boasting with cheap sandwiches and steaks. On Thursdays, they hold dance parties and gay parties on Sundays. Nauka i Iskusstvo (Science and Art) is for you if music is the sole reason for your night out. The club is said to host the best electronic and hip parties. Noor Bar, nonetheless, is known for their classic cocktails which can be best enjoyed on Fridays and Saturdays while listening to their DJ sets. Just make sure to go there early to secure a spot. Another two famous nightclubs are located in Artplay: Pluton and Rodnya . Pluton promotes all kinds of music and art-performances while Rodnya is a rooftop club where you can enjoy dancing while waiting for the sun to rise in Summer.  Squad 3/4  is one of the most bizarre nightclubs in Moscow. It is located at the basement of the former Central Baths building and often hosts bohemian raves.

13. Take a Moscow River Cruise

Cruising along the Moskva River is one of the best ways to see and visit Moscow. Ticket pricing of the cruise depends on the size of the boat; the bigger the boat, the more expensive and smoother its sailing will be. For 800 rubles, you can board the most famous tour boat in Moscow: the yellow Lay’s boat. It plays loud Russian pop music as you sail the river. Bigger boats cost 1,100 to 2,000 rubles per person. These cruises on bigger boats often offer cozy lunch and dinner on top of the cruise itself.

Moscow River Cruise

TIP : There are two main boarding piers: Hotel Ukraine and Park Kultury. If you want to save money, buy your tickets online and make sure to arrive earlier as it is hard to find the pier where your boat is at. However, if you do not mind spending more for tickets, you can purchase from street hawkers. They will personally guide you on where to find your boat and where to get off. Also, make sure to bring extra clothes even in the summer season.

14. White Christmas in Moscow

Visit Moscow and bring all your thick but light-weight clothes and experience Moscow’s white winter. The average weather in December is around -10 to 0 degrees Celsius with an average of 17-30 days of snowfall. Witness snowfall on the Red Square which transforms into a Christmas market and the biggest ice skating rink in December. Celebrate with Muscovites during the Russian Winter Festival and watch live performances, eat street foods, and play games from mid-December to mid-January in Manezh Square.

15. Explore the Medieval towns of Golden Ring

There is always more to see beyond the capital city of a country. And in Russia’s case, outside Moscow is the ancient region called the Golden Ring . The region’s name is derived from the golden onion-shaped domes of the churches around the towns and from the ring-like route in which 1967 art historian and journalist Yuri Bychkov travelled.

Golden Ring tour Russia

The Golden Ring is comprised of eight main cities:

  • Yaroslavl is where the Transfiguration Monastery (now a museum) and Ioann Vasiliyevich — a Soviet-themed hotel and restaurant.
  • Vladimir boasts its Golden Gate and the Cathedral of the Dormition of the Mother of God.
  • Suzdal is a thirty-minute drive from Vladimir, it has five monasteries, thirty churches, and a market square (Torgovaya Ploshchad) where you can local berries and honey.
  • Sergiev Posad is known to be the location of the Trinity Lavra of St Sergius — one of the largest monasteries in the world.
  • Pereselavl-Zalessky is where you can enjoy windsurfing and ride hot air balloons.
  • Rostov Velikiy or Rostov the Great is boasting its colourful churches and unchanged kremlin architecture.
  • Ivanovo is known for its huge textile industry, it is also known as the city of brides since there more women than men in the area.
  • Kostroma is where the town of Bui — a town of cultural heritage, and Trinity-Ipatiev Monastery can be explored.

Visit Moscow and experience and see in the Golden Ring afterwards. We have carefully crafted  tours  for every traveller like you.

Just as a cherry on top, here is an awesome video clip of this magnificent city, Moscow:

Sokolniki Park in Medieval and Imperial Russia

Sokolniki Park map, Imperial Russia

Photo on park.sokolniki.com

In the 14th and 15th centuries on the site of present-day Sokolniki Park lay an untouched forest, reaching from Moscow to northern Russia. From the 15th century the area of the forest closest to Moscow was used by Russia’s rulers for falconry, and under Peter the Great, festivities were arranged in glades in the forest. The May Day holiday in particular remained for centuries the liveliest celebration to take place in Sokolniki, attended by thousands of people every year.

Did you know ? Sokolniki takes its name from the falconry enjoyed by Russia’s medieval rulers – the Russian word for ‘falcon’ is sokol. 

Landscaping of Sokolniki began in the mid-1800s, and the layout has been largely preserved until today. Glades and alleys fanning out from a central circle were laid, and modern technology was used to build irrigation systems, roads, and even a horse-drawn railway. In 1878, Sokolniki was acquired by the city of Moscow and transformed into a public park to be enjoyed by all. Many famous teahouses were built, and pleasure gardens complete with performances, dinners and dances were arranged in summertime. Festivities and royal events continued to be held, including the opulent coronation celebrations of Alexander III.

Did you know? Sergey Tretyakov, the 19th century mayor of Moscow, played an instrumental role in acquiring Sokolniki for public use. Sergey is the brother of Pavel Tretyakov, philanthropist and founder of the Tretyakov Gallery .

Sokolniki Park in Soviet Russia

Following the October Revolution, Sokolniki Park remained in a state of neglect until the 1930s. On 16th May 1931, Moscow City Council declared it to be a park of culture and recreation, and serious restoration efforts began to revive the park’s former glory. Particular emphasis was placed on creating cultural leisure venues such as concert halls, reading rooms, and exhibition spaces. Carnivals were held in Sokolniki Park, which included guild carnivals celebrating different professions, children’s carnivals, and ‘friendship’ carnivals showcasing the national cultures of different countries and fostering the friendship of peoples. Sokolniki Park flourished in the post-war years. It was expanded into one of the largest parks in Moscow, and events of national and international importance took place there. These included events of the 1957 6th World Festival of Youth and Students, which was a watershed moment in Soviet culture as 30,000 foreign young people flocked to Moscow, as well as the 1959 American National Exhibition, the first international exhibition in Russian history dedicated to US industry and culture, which was opened personally by Nikita Khrushchev and Richard Nixon.

Sokolniki Park in Russia today

Sokolniki Park underwent renovation in the 2000s and was designated an area of “special environmental, historical, cultural and recreational value” in 2009. Aside from extensive landscaping, the restoration of the summer cinema, theatre and Large Rose Garden, and the addition of various sports facilities, a memorial sign was erected at the park entrance in honour of Sergey Tretyakov, without whose efforts Sokolniki would not have become part of Moscow.

What can you do at Sokolniki Park?

Relax in nature.

Sokolniki Park is an oasis of nature in Europe’s biggest city. 8 forest glades radiate out from the park’s central circle, each of which has been planted with certain species of tree – birches, sugar maples, lindens, red oaks, and more. In the woods, visitors can look out for owls, grass snakes, elk, and foxes. There are 13 ponds, some of which you can sail on, which are home to frogs and even beavers! Visitors can also relax in the beautifully-landscaped Large and Small Rose Gardens and Lilac Garden.

Did you know? Famous and rare trees have a QR code attached to them, so you can learn more about the fauna of Sokolniki Park.

Enjoy sports and outdoor activities

Aside from walking, there is a huge variety of sports activities on offer at Sokolniki Park. In summer you can play football, volleyball and tennis at the open-air sports centre, rent bicycles to explore 10km of cycle paths, hire boats, and visit the beach and swimming pool. In winter, a huge ice rink is set up in Sokolniki Park, and visitors can rent skis to explore the park on 45km of ski tracks. Other facilities include a skate park, trampoline park, and the largest indoor go-kart track in Moscow.

Did you know? Sokolniki Park is home to a famous chess club where some of Russia’s finest grandmasters have played.

Visit exhibitions and events

The Sokolniki Park Museum was founded in 2015 to share the history of the park and its surrounding district, and document centuries of leisure and festivities in Moscow. Sokolniki Park is also home to the Museum of World Calligraphy, the only such museum in the world, with 5,000 exhibits from 70 countries. The park’s Kvadrats Gallery hosts temporary exhibitions in an immersive multimedia and VR format. In keeping with centuries-old tradition, events of all kinds are held at Sokolniki Park – orchestral concerts, screenings at the summer cinema, literary readings, dance evenings, fairs and markets, sports competitions, and more.

Bring your kids

There are activities for all ages at Sokolniki Park, and especially for children. Aside from 12 adventure playgrounds, including the ‘Emerald City’ complex for disabled children, there is a treetop obstacle course and theme park with 20 rides, including a 35-metre Ferris wheel.

Did you know? Children can also meet animals at Sokolniki Park, which is home to more than 20 rare species of birds of prey at the ornithological shelter, as well as 22 huskies in the Husky Park!

What’s nearby?

  • VDNKh Park : The All-Russian Exhibition Centre is the largest exhibition, museum, and recreational complex in the world. Russian and international exhibitions, cultural and business events are held in its historical pavilions, palaces, and gardens.
  • Losiny Ostrov National Park: Sokolniki Park lies at the western edge of the second-oldest national park in Russia, Losiny Ostrov. Over 25% of its territory is located inside Moscow’s city limits, making it the third-largest forest in the world attached to a major city.

The R&K Guide To Moscow

The World Cup is upon us, but you could argue that it’s already a relic from another era, a time when Putin was looking for peaceable engagement with the West, before he annexed Crimea and unleashed his trolls on the world. But if ordinary Russians are supposed to play the part of pariah, they haven’t been told. It has been a long time since Moscow was this pleasant to visit. The city center is safe, sanitized, ready for your visit. Yes, the calm is a sign of an increasingly efficient autocracy. But we’ve known Moscow through many iterations, and for the casual visitor, this is one of the best yet. (Visit our St. Petersburg guide here.)
