Shoes can make or break your vacation, especially in winter when you have to contend with frozen toes and slippery sidewalks. That’s why a pair of warm winter boots can be a traveler’s best friend on cold-weather trips. The following boots are packable, lightweight, and comfortable enough to walk in for miles. I’ve also thrown in a few pairs of winter shoes that aren’t boots but are still worth adding to your cold-weather packing list.

The Warmest Winter Boots

Don’t let freezing temperature, snow, or sleet keep you confined indoors. These warm winter boots will keep your feet toasty and comfortable, no matter how far you’re walking or how low the temperatures drop.

UGG Men’s Butte Snow Boots

The UGG Men’s Butte Snow Boots are highly rated on Amazon, thanks to their stylish yet practical design. These waterproof, leather-lined boots with warm wool protect your feet from dampness and the cold (they’re rated for use in weather as cold as -4 degrees Fahrenheit). The Vibram outsole has a special pattern on the bottom to help with traction on icy surfaces.

Eddie Bauer Hunt Pac Deluxe Boot

With 200g ThermaFill® insulation, faux fur collar, and rubber shell, there’s a reason these boots have been successfully protecting wearers from the winter weather since the 1950s. Available in five colors, including dusty lilac and snow , with contrasting laces and detailed stitching, the Hunt Pac boots are more fashionable than your typical snow gear.

Columbia Women’s Ice Maiden II Snow Boot

For an classic snow boot that doesn’t sacrifice comfort and support, try the Columbia Women’s Ice Maiden II Snow Boot . With quilted ankle support, seam sealed membrane, and 200g of insulation, you’ll be able to trek through the winter weather without sore feet.

Men’s Kamik Iceland Winter Boot

Cozy and comfortable, the Kamik Iceland Winter Boot is rated for temperatures as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit. The Cleansport NXT footbed helps fight odors, and the waterproofing will keep your feet dry even in snow and slush.

The Thinnest, Warmest Winter Clothes for Packing

Lightweight Winter Boots

Want shoes that won’t weigh down your feet … or your suitcase? Pack these lightweight winter boots.

Ariat Wexford Waterproof Chelsea Boot

When you need one pair of boots for the whole trip that will look good with anything, pick Ariat’s Wexford Waterproof Chelsea boots . These stylish boots look like regular Chelsea boots, but are completely waterproof, so you can confidently wear them in a rainstorm. A cozy plaid lining helps keep your feet warm, and a lightweight forked shank offers support without weighing you down. The pull-on style is perfect for travel, since you can easily slip them on and off at airport security.

Women’s Saltwater Quilted Duck Boot

The Saltwater Quilted Duck Boot is a favorite on the SmarterTravel team. The water-resistant rubber shell and Molded Wave-Siping™ traction technology makes it a hearty warrior in the battle against slipping and falling in icy winter puddles. The quilted, lace-up design and ankle cut protect you from the elements without sacrificing your style.

SOREL Explorer™ Boot

Coming in at just 1 lb and 1 oz, you won’t find many men’s hiking boots that weigh less than the SOREL Explorer™ Boot . These waterproof boots have up to 100g of insulation, a grooved outsole, and a microfleece footbed cover so you can wear them in comfort and with confidence in snow, ice, or rain.

Blundstone BL1465 Waterproof Winter Lace-Up Boot

Although known for Chelsea Boot style, Blundstone tackled winter weather with these shearling lined, waterproof lace-up boots . Wear it two ways, either laced up to the top for maximum warmth or rolled down to create a wool collar.

Kamik Arie Lo Boot

The Kamik Ariel Lo boots streamline all the function of a hearty snow boot into the perfect winter commuter shoe. The slight wedge heel makes these boots feel dressier without sacrificing any of the weather-resistant features. They pair just as easily with a dress and fleece-lined tights as they do with snow pants.

Whitin Men’s Insulated All-Weather Boots

Whitin’s All-Weather Boots are lightweight, affordable, water-resistant, and available in a variety of colors. If you need comfortable boots for city walking and sightseeing, these are a good bet.

Winter Boots That Are Great for Walking

The Ultimate Ski Trip Packing List

Kamik Rogue Hike 3

Another SmarterTravel favorite, waterproof Rogue Hike 3 is a sturdy option whether you’re hiking or walking around the city. The high-traction sole helps you keep your footing on slick sidewalks and other slippery terrain while the inner lining is soft and comfortable.

Packable Winter Boots

These super packable winter boots for men and women, including foldable boots, serve a specific cold-weather purpose yet still manage to be lightweight and easy to fit in a suitcase.

Felicitas 59 Bootie

With a cozy faux-fur lining and removable footbed, the Felicitas 59 Bootie offers serious warmth and cool style. Small enough to squeeze comfortably inside a suitcase, these boots make it easy to add a pop of personality to any travel outfit with the colorful woven shaft and buckle detail.

Sorel Men’s Ankeny II Mid Boot

The men’s Ankeny II Mid Boot from Sorel has a waterproof leather and suede upper, plus seam-sealed waterproof construction, yet it still manages to be lighter than most men’s boots. It’s as at home on city streets as on the trail, and has a deep herringbone tread to prevent slips in snow, ice, and rain.

The 8 Most Packable Shoes for Travel

Women’s ThermoBall™ Progressive Zip II Waterproof Booties

Bring all the warmth and comfort of a North Face jacket to your feet with these water repellant booties featuring ThermoBall™ Eco insulation and an OrthoLite® footbed. The front zipper closure offers a sleek, trendy look while the flexible quilted ankle cut can compress down to fit more easily inside your luggage.

The extra stylish detailing of these boots hides the fact that they are ready to take on the winter weather, made from waterproof leather and suede with sealed seams and a warm lining. Perfect for drizzly days or a dusting of snow, the grippy rubber soles won’t let you slip on your commute.

Comfortable Winter Boots That Look and Feel Like Sneakers

When you travel, you want dry, warm feet, but you also need to be able to walk for miles—comfortably. That’s why boots that feel or even look like sneakers can be a great fit.

Keen Men’s Brixen Low Waterproof Insulated Shoe

Don’t want to pack a big, heavy boot? Take footwear that’s the same size as a shoe but performs like a winter boot: the Keen Brixen is an insulated, waterproof sneaker. It slips on and off (perfect for wearing on the plane) and has a wool felt lining that will keep you warm, plus antimicrobial insulation to keep out odors.

Ecco Women’s Shape 35 Ankle Bootie

Booties are great for travel, since they offer warmth and support without being as hard to pack as a full boot. Ecco’s Shape 35 Ankle Bootie is a classic choice, featuring a side zipper for easy on/off at airport security. This pair is also very lightweight, making them easy to pack and unlikely to tire out your feet and legs.

Timberland Men’s White Ledge Mid Waterproof Ankle Boot

Another strong candidate from The North Face, there’s nothing separating the Men’s Larimer Mid WP boot from a standard sneaker at first glance. Dive deeper into the construction, and you’ll find 100g of Heatseeker™ Eco zonal insulation, a padded waterproof suede and nylon upper, and a waterproof membrane to stand up to whatever winter weather comes your way.

The 10 Most Comfortable Men’s Walking Shoes for Travel

Winter Shoes hat Aren’t Boots

Want winter shoes that aren’t full-size boots? Try these packable winter shoes with sturdy soles, good treads, and cozy liners.

Rockport Men’s Northfield Oxford

Not every winter day calls for a full boot. When you don’t want to have to change your footwear, consider Rockport’s Northfield , which can fit into any environment without sacrificing dryness. These stylish oxfords are fully waterproof (and even have a unique seam-sealant to prevent any rogue leaks), and have a removable interior cushioning system that adds to your comfort.

FitKicks Original Women’s Foldable Shoes

Planning footwear for cold-weather travel isn’t all about protection from the elements. You’ve also got to plan for chilly indoor floors. FitKicks ‘ foldable shoes have a rubber sole, so they can be worn outdoors as well—but for winter travel, your best bet is to pack a pair of these fold-and-go shoes as a comfortable slipper alternative.

Danner Panorama Waterproof Low Hiking Shoes

Designed to look like a sturdy lace-up sneaker, you won’t feel out of place wearing these while just seeing the sights.

Vessi Soho Sneaker

The SoHo Sneakers —like all Vessi shoes—are 100% waterproof. These shoes are great for anyone who mourns putting away their summer wardrobe come September, making the transfer easily between seasons. The padded ankle collar makes them comfortable no matter how much walking your itinerary demands and water wipes away easily from the vegan leather exterior, so go ahead and jump in those puddles.

Dansko Women’s Paisley Sneaker

Dansko lovers, rejoice! The company has the Paisley , a winter shoe that offers its signature comfort in a sporty style that’s winter ready. Waterproof uppers meet rubber outsoles for dependable traction on slippery surfaces. The shoe also has built-in moisture and odor control, plus a triple-density footbed for good arch support.

Many boots can be surprisingly lightweight, making them both easy to walk in and easy to transport so you don’t have to worry about the extra baggage weight when packing.

Boots are also extremely versatile. Allowing for excessive walking, light hiking, and even nightlife, they can also easily transition from a day look to a night look. This makes boots a great choice for any occasion and can compliment any outfit.

The Benefits of Leather

Leather is a fantastic option for boots as they are soft and waterproof, while allowing for breathability and durability. Opt for black or dark brown leather as these colors are less obtrusive and easy to match with any outfit. In addition they are also forgiving with any dirt that you may encounter during your travels.

For nearly every trip in metropolitan cities, you’ll need a pair of women’s leather boots . These sturdy shoes make the best travel footwear because they’re perfect for walking and every day use. If your anticipated activities involve a lot of exercise and a lot of walking or the use public transportation, then boots are what you need!

In fact, even if you plan to travel low-key it would still be beneficial to bring boots. They are undoubtedly my top pick when it comes to stylish travel shoes as they are exceptionally comfortable and create a classic casual chic look.

When shopping for leather boots, check to see how easily they come on and off. You do not want boots that you have to battle to put on or take off on vacation.

Thank you for this list! I purchased the Kenneth Cole Salt boots and they are just as amazing as you’ve described! Comfortable right out of the box. I sized up a 1/2 size to allow for thicker socks but my regular size would’ve worked as well

My favorite shoes are my ariat cowboy boots but I have never worn them on a trip. Don’t think they fit city exploration very well. I’m tempted to wear them on my next European adventure and play up all the Texas stereotypes.

I’m currently breaking in a beautiful pair from Dorking. Any tips on stopping heel rub?

Going to the Czech Republic early May. I get cold a lot and have an ankle problem that requires comfy shoes. Do you have any recommendations so I can still look fashionable?

What type of boots are in the first picture of the brown lace up leather boots? I’ve been looking for a pair like that forever and have had no luck finding anything I like!

The first image is a stock photo, therefore I do not know the brand. Check out this article though on more leather styles http://bit.ly/28PllrB

I have read so many of your articles as I prepare for our trip to Paris and Rome next month! This one, in particular, was so helpful in helping me choose a pair of flats and some great leather ankle boots to take along. Thanks so much!!!

Thanks Jill that’s awesome! Yay!

Can I wear boots during summer in Australia? won’t it be too hot wearing a pair? how versatile is it when it comes to seasons? help…i’m just really worried I’ll look like an idiot wearing it.:) thanks TFG!

Hi Rheza, it depends! What part of Australia will you be traveling to and which months?

Hi! This is a very late question and I’m not sure if you would still reply… What about a trip to australia in late January to early February (melbourne-sydney-brisbane)? Can I wear my doc martens 1460?

Hi Mae, thank you for your question. Doc Martens are very popular amongst our female readers and should be a fantastic option to take with our to Australia, for other tips have a look at this post: https://www.travelfashiongirl.com/what-to-wear-in-australia/ Just remember make sure what ever shoes you pack are comfortable for all the walking you are bound to do! Have an incredible trip!! 🙂

I have been desperately searching for cute leather boots that are semi-affordable, and this is the most helpful site I found! The only thing is that these boots are sold-out. Could you suggest any boots that are available this year?

Thanks Cara! I’ve got a new post on ankle boots coming soon 🙂

Just FYI, only ONE of these “leather” boots you listed is actually made out of leather (the last one). The durability/softness/waterproofness does not usually carry over from real leather to fake leather.

good point – i’ll make a note of this. thanks!

I have worn my Legero boots all over Europe, and they are often the only shoes I pack. I wear them with tunic dresses and tights or tucked in to skinny jeans. Love them! I don’t recommend a heel though, for excessive walking. Stick with wedges or flat rubberized soles with tread.

Hi Suzanne, Will check out these boots – Thanks for the tips!

Hi! Most of the suggested boots are sold out. Will you be posting an updated list for the fall?

What do you think about the standard riding boot? The kind that goes up to your knees for Europe during the summer?

I’m studying abroad in Prague, but I’ll be in Luxembourg for a few weeks prior. Plus, I’ll be all over the continent.

The riding boot is a great option – although not sure if it would be too warm for summer?

That’s what I’m worried about! I definitely am liking some of the boots posted on here though!

Last year i travelled to Japan mid winter and had a number of specific requirements (like, has to be easy to take off and put on easy as it’s Japan! has to be wearable in snow – i’m from Australia so didnt really know what would work as well as be fashionable!) I bought a pair of Ugg Australia’s Hazelwood boots and i cannot praise them enough. They were a little bit pricey but they feel exactly like ugg boots (sheep skin lined!) and were just PERFECT! Highly encourage!

Thanks for the tip! It’s always very helpful to know about shoes 🙂

I agree with your post about boots being the best travel shoes, especially in the Northern Hemisphere. I own a pair of the No. 5 boots and have found them the most practical and comfortable pair of footwear for all the walking we have done in the past year. They are great worn in snow and in warmer temperatures with a pair of IceBreaker socks. They can be worn out to more formal occasions with tights and a dress tunic. Now I am trying to find shoes that will do the same in cities in Europe during the Summer. Your blog is a fantastic help ideas.

Hi Gaylene, a pair of ankle booties would work just as well for Europe in the summer – they’re in all the TFG Europe packing lists and are really popular right now 🙂

As a New Yorker, I truly love love love a good pair of leather boots since they are the sturdiest types for the concrete and cobblestone jungle. It’s the one thing I’m always willing to spend an arm and a leg for because they seriously LAST a lifetime.

100% agreed on that! good quality boots are a long lasting essential!

Boots can be even better for walking than runners. I’ve got a great pair of black, lace up boots that I can walk in all day. And they look a whole lot better than runners.

And many of them are surprisingly very comfortable too!

25 Best Women’s Travel Boots for Fall: Comfortable & Cute!

Footwear—they’re the bane of every women’s packing list. Or is that just me? No matter how many times I packed my suitcase, I always used to pause when it comes to the shoes, especially in the fall. Should I bring comfortable sneakers for active days and heavy, clunky hiking boots for outdoorsy bucket list adventures ? What about traveling to cities in the fall—do I need a third pair of cuter, fashionable ballet flats for all of those afternoons of museum hopping? What are the best (and most comfortable) shoes for lots of walking in the brisk fall weather? The answer to all of the above is a pair of cute and comfortable travel boots.

If you’ve ever packed for Europe or South America in the colder fall months you will understand that alternating between morning brunch, nights out in the city and daytime hikes can be a challenge for footwear. But, I’ve learned a valuable shoe lesson in my many years of travel. Wherever you’re going from September to December—whether it’s Florence , Geneva or Tokyo —a pair of cute and comfortable women’s travel boots are a must-have.

Unfortunately, it seems incredibly difficult to come across the perfect balance of that ideal boot trifecta: comfort, style, and practicality. Difficult, yes—but not impossible.

The Best Fall Travel Boots for Walking Women (Fashionable, Cute & Comfortable!)

Tall riding & knee high boots.

A tall riding boot is my go-to shoe for almost any cold-weathered trips—fall thru spring! The height keeps my calves warm, which is particularly helpful when they’re paired with a skirt. Plus, if you find some flat boots with a little tread, they can be used for light hiking too. Don’t forget to add some cute boot socks (like Modern Boho’s lace trim knee highs ) or trendy boot cuffs for extra style and warmth.

Western Inspired Footwear

Doesn’t everyone have a little cowboy in them? I certainly do. And all of the ones below are cool country footwear. The first western inspired boots (Rocket Dog) aren’t too flat, they have a little bit of a heel, so maybe wouldn’t be the best for the narrow cobbled streets of Spain, but despite the height they are incredibly comfortable. I brought them with me while traveling through India on the Palace on Wheels luxury train and wore them at every stop, even to the Taj Mahal!

Tecovas $275

Where to Buy High-Quality Used Travel Gear

Shopping sustainably has never looked so good..

Copy Link copied

Luxury goods on sale at Unclaimed Baggage's Alabama store, including purses and shoes

Lost luggage that goes unclaimed isn’t thrown out. Most of it ends up at Unclaimed Baggage, a retail warehouse in Alabama where it is professionally cleaned and sold at 50 to 80 percent off the retail price.

The secondary market for outdoor gear like hiking boots and backpacks is robust, but those are far from the only travel goods you can score at a discount when you buy used. Everything from uber-chic suitcases to good-as-new AirPods are yours for the taking—if you know where to look.

In the past few years, many businesses have emerged to help consumers offload travel goods they no longer need, allowing someone else to scoop them up at bargain prices and help the circular economy keep growing. And while sustainability is always on our minds here at AFAR, Earth Day has us thinking extra hard about how we can reduce our carbon footprint, even if we’re still hopping on that plane.

Plus, let’s be honest, for how often you use that hiking backpack, do you really need a brand-new one? Read on to discover six of our favorite places—beyond the usual suspects like Facebook Marketplace and eBay, of course—to shop for gently used everything, from hiking boots to luxury luggage.

Back Market

Buy now: Apple AirPods, from $76 (new from $129), backmarket.com

The tech equipment on Back Market , a Paris-based resale site, isn’t referred to as used but “reborn.” Every item here, from cell phones to laptops, has been thoroughly checked, cleaned, and restored by experts and is graded fair, good, or excellent, depending on the appearance and technical condition of the device. Each purchase also comes with a one-year warranty, so your new-to-you earbuds should definitely make it through your vacation. And finally, sellers also must undergo a fairly rigorous onboarding process, with only about one in three making the cut.

This is one of the best sites to find verified Apple AirPods, with generally both regular and Pro wireless models available, as well as the super-sleek over-ear Max version. Other tech items available that are ideal for travel include Apple Watches , portable gaming devices , and refurbished cameras .

Patagonia sells gently-used versions of its popular Down Sweater Jacket for about 50 percent off the new price at its Worn Wear resale website.

Patagonia Worn Wear

Buy now: Women’s insulated and down jackets, from $36 (new from $99), wornwear.patagonia.com

Patagonia hiking and ski gear is on the expensive end, but the sturdy construction of its pieces means they last for years, if not decades. So, it’s no surprise the company has an entire section of its website dedicated to recirculating gear to new owners. Patagonia Worn Wear allows shoppers to both sell preloved Patagonia apparel and gear and buy at prices that are a little more palatable than the brand’s retail. Sellers can score anywhere from $10 to $100 per item in Patagonia credit. If items aren’t accepted into the program, Patagonia will return or recycle the gear so it doesn’t end up in a landfill.

While the selection here includes items for men, women, and kids, size availability can be quite limited. But because the merchandise is constantly being refreshed, it’s worth checking the site frequently to see what’s been added. Ski jackets, one of the most expensive items to buy new, are luckily in abundance here.

REI Used Gear

Buy now: Osprey backpacks, from $58 (new from $130), rei.com/used

Unlike Patagonia’s site, the REI Used Gear section online encompasses a wide variety of brands and includes men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing, plus gear ranging from tents to snowshoes to cycling accessories. The team inspects gently used items and selects the best for the site, with sellers getting credit for REI, and buyers grabbing discounts on some of the best outdoor brands, including the North Face, Marmot, and Columbia.

For those planning a backpacking trip, or anyone who prefers to travel sans wheels, the selection of packs here is fantastic. There are often dozens of models available from top-tier brands like Osprey or the North Face, in a wide variety of sizes and colors.

Rimowa Original Cabin Carry On in Silver in a white circle on gray background

The Rimowa Original Cabin Carry-On retails new for $1,430. On the RealReal, these bags are available for hundreds less.

The RealReal

Buy now: Rimowa rolling suitcases, from $491 (new from $1,375), therealreal.com

Luxury label hunters know the RealReal is a fantastic repository for deep discounts on used items from brands like Prada, Hermès, and Gucci. And while clothing, handbags, and shoes may be the site’s bread and butter, don’t overlook its luggage section . There is a sizable selection of everything from posh Louis Vuitton carry-ons to Tumi duffels and sleek hard-shell Rimowas, including some of the coveted pieces from the brand’s collaborations with Supreme and Dior.

The RealReal also prides itself on having one of the most rigorous authentication processes and quality checks in the market. Every single item on the site is checked by one of over 100 brand-specific authenticators before it’s listed for sale.

Of course, you can also go directly to the source with some brands. For example, Rimowa gives its preowned aluminum luggage the circular model treatment through its Re-Crafted program. After buying back used aluminum suitcases from customers, Rimowa verifies their authenticity and then, depending on the condition, refurbishes and sells them at a discounted price. (Suitcases that don’t pass muster are dismantled and recycled.) There are currently no Re-Crafted bags for sale via Rimowa’s website, but you can sign up to be notified when new bags arrive.

Unclaimed Baggage

Buy now: Various luggage, from $15 (new from $30), unclaimedbaggage.com

Ever wonder what happens to unclaimed baggage ? While most bags that get lost on flights eventually make it back to their owners, about 7 percent (or 1.8 million) are completely lost worldwide each year. After a piece of mystery luggage has been sitting for more than three months in a storage facility, airlines are allowed to get rid of it. In the United States, much of it is sent to Unclaimed Baggage , a retail warehouse in Scottsboro, Alabama, that sorts and repurposes lost luggage. (Items forgotten at security checkpoints, left in overhead bins or seat-back pockets, or abandoned by fliers at the airport to meet weight requirements also typically end up at Unclaimed Baggage.)

Items that the company deems sellable are professionally cleaned and sold at 50 to 80 percent off the retail price online and at the brick-and-mortar store. There are some good finds: A recent search uncovered not just one but two Louis Vuitton spinner suitcases for 40 percent off retail and a vintage Yves Saint Laurent leather duffel bag for 20 percent off retail.

Merrell may have discontinued its Ontario Mid Hiking boot—but you can find like-new versions on Poshmark for a fraction of the original cost.

Courtesy of Merrell

Buy now: Merrell hiking boots, from $12 (new from $105), poshmark.com

With over 200 million items for sale, it’s easy to get overwhelmed perusing the listings on Poshmark , a social marketplace for selling items from person to person. Understandably, that means there’s no intermediary checking quality or authenticity, but the flip side is that it’s possible to find incredible deals on, well, almost anything.

Merrell hiking boots, for example, which are one of AFAR’s favorites in the category , can be had for under $15 in men’s, women’s, and children’s sizes (of course, less-used models will cost more). All of the listings also come with a “make an offer” option, which can drive the price down even further. (Hint: Sellers often accept lowball offers more readily when the item has been on sale for weeks.) In short, what you’re looking for—gear-wise—is probably here; you just have to hunt for it.

Travel Itinerary For One Week in Moscow: The Best of Moscow!

I just got back from one week in Moscow. And, as you might have already guessed, it was a mind-boggling experience. It was not my first trip to the Russian capital. But I hardly ever got enough time to explore this sprawling city. Visiting places for business rarely leaves enough time for sightseeing. I think that if you’ve got one week in Russia, you can also consider splitting your time between its largest cities (i.e. Saint Petersburg ) to get the most out of your trip. Seven days will let you see the majority of the main sights and go beyond just scratching the surface. In this post, I’m going to share with you my idea of the perfect travel itinerary for one week in Moscow.

Moscow is perhaps both the business and cultural hub of Russia. There is a lot more to see here than just the Kremlin and Saint Basil’s Cathedral. Centuries-old churches with onion-shaped domes dotted around the city are in stark contrast with newly completed impressive skyscrapers of Moscow City dominating the skyline. I spent a lot of time thinking about my Moscow itinerary before I left. And this city lived up to all of my expectations.

Travel Itinerary For One Week in Moscow

Day 1 – red square and the kremlin.

Metro Station: Okhotny Ryad on Red Line.

No trip to Moscow would be complete without seeing its main attraction. The Red Square is just a stone’s throw away from several metro stations. It is home to some of the most impressive architectural masterpieces in the city. The first thing you’ll probably notice after entering it and passing vendors selling weird fur hats is the fairytale-like looking Saint Basil’s Cathedral. It was built to commemorate one of the major victories of Ivan the Terrible. I once spent 20 minutes gazing at it, trying to find the perfect angle to snap it. It was easier said than done because of the hordes of locals and tourists.

As you continue strolling around Red Square, there’s no way you can miss Gum. It was widely known as the main department store during the Soviet Era. Now this large (yet historic) shopping mall is filled with expensive boutiques, pricey eateries, etc. During my trip to Moscow, I was on a tight budget. So I only took a retro-style stroll in Gum to get a rare glimpse of a place where Soviet leaders used to grocery shop and buy their stuff. In case you want some modern shopping experience, head to the Okhotny Ryad Shopping Center with stores like New Yorker, Zara, and Adidas.

Day 2 – Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the Tretyakov Gallery, and the Arbat Street

Metro Station: Kropotkinskaya on Red Line

As soon as you start creating a Moscow itinerary for your second day, you’ll discover that there are plenty of metro stations that are much closer to certain sites. Depending on your route, take a closer look at the metro map to pick the closest.

The white marble walls of Christ the Saviour Cathedral are awe-inspiring. As you approach this tallest Orthodox Christian church, you may notice the bronze sculptures, magnificent arches, and cupolas that were created to commemorate Russia’s victory against Napoleon.

How to Get a Decent Haircut in a Foreign Country

Unfortunately, the current Cathedral is a replica, since original was blown to bits in 1931 by the Soviet government. The new cathedral basically follows the original design, but they have added some new elements such as marble high reliefs.

Home to some precious collection of artworks, in Tretyakov Gallery you can find more than 150,000 of works spanning centuries of artistic endeavor. Originally a privately owned gallery, it now has become one of the largest museums in Russia. The Gallery is often considered essential to visit. But I have encountered a lot of locals who have never been there.

Famous for its souvenirs, musicians, and theaters, Arbat street is among the few in Moscow that were turned into pedestrian zones. Arbat street is usually very busy with tourists and locals alike. My local friend once called it the oldest street in Moscow dating back to 1493. It is a kilometer long walking street filled with fancy gift shops, small cozy restaurants, lots of cute cafes, and street artists. It is closed to any vehicular traffic, so you can easily stroll it with kids.

Day 3 – Moscow River Boat Ride, Poklonnaya Hill Victory Park, the Moscow City

Metro Station: Kievskaya and Park Pobedy on Dark Blue Line / Vystavochnaya on Light Blue Line

Voyaging along the Moscow River is definitely one of the best ways to catch a glimpse of the city and see the attractions from a bit different perspective. Depending on your Moscow itinerary, travel budget and the time of the year, there are various types of boats available. In the summer there is no shortage of boats, and you’ll be spoiled for choice.

Travel Itinerary for One Week in Beijing

If you find yourself in Moscow during the winter months, I’d recommend going with Radisson boat cruise. These are often more expensive (yet comfy). They offer refreshments like tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and, of course, alcoholic drinks. Prices may vary but mostly depend on your food and drink selection. Find their main pier near the opulent Ukraine hotel . The hotel is one of the “Seven Sisters”, so if you’re into the charm of Stalinist architecture don’t miss a chance to stay there.

The area near Poklonnaya Hill has the closest relation to the country’s recent past. The memorial complex was completed in the mid-1990s to commemorate the Victory and WW2 casualties. Also known as the Great Patriotic War Museum, activities here include indoor attractions while the grounds around host an open-air museum with old tanks and other vehicles used on the battlefield.

How I Planned My Trip to Vietnam

The hallmark of the memorial complex and the first thing you see as you exit metro is the statue of Nike mounted to its column. This is a very impressive Obelisk with a statue of Saint George slaying the dragon at its base.

Maybe not as impressive as Shanghai’s Oriental Pearl Tower , the skyscrapers of the Moscow City (otherwise known as Moscow International Business Center) are so drastically different from dull Soviet architecture. With 239 meters and 60 floors, the Empire Tower is the seventh highest building in the business district.

The observation deck occupies 56 floor from where you have some panoramic views of the city. I loved the view in the direction of Moscow State University and Luzhniki stadium as well to the other side with residential quarters. The entrance fee is pricey, but if you’re want to get a bird’s eye view, the skyscraper is one of the best places for doing just that.

Day 4 – VDNKh, Worker and Collective Farm Woman Monument, The Ostankino TV Tower

Metro Station: VDNKh on Orange Line

VDNKh is one of my favorite attractions in Moscow. The weird abbreviation actually stands for Russian vystavka dostizheniy narodnogo khozyaystva (Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy). With more than 200 buildings and 30 pavilions on the grounds, VDNKh serves as an open-air museum. You can easily spend a full day here since the park occupies a very large area.

Places to Visit in Barcelona That Aren’t Beaches

First, there are pavilions that used to showcase different cultures the USSR was made of. Additionally, there is a number of shopping pavilions, as well as Moskvarium (an Oceanarium) that features a variety of marine species. VDNKh is a popular venue for events and fairs. There is always something going on, so I’d recommend checking their website if you want to see some particular exhibition.

A stone’s throw away from VDNKh there is a very distinctive 25-meters high monument. Originally built in 1937 for the world fair in Paris, the hulking figures of men and women holding a hammer and a sickle represent the Soviet idea of united workers and farmers. It doesn’t take much time to see the monument, but visiting it gives some idea of the Soviet Union’s grandiose aspirations.

I have a thing for tall buildings. So to continue my travel itinerary for one week in Moscow I decided to climb the fourth highest TV tower in the world. This iconic 540m tower is a fixture of the skyline. You can see it virtually from everywhere in Moscow, and this is where you can get the best panoramic views (yep, even better than Empire skyscraper).

Parts of the floor are made of tempered glass, so it can be quite scary to exit the elevator. But trust me, as you start observing buildings and cars below, you won’t want to leave. There is only a limited number of tickets per day, so you may want to book online. Insider tip: the first tour is cheaper, you can save up to $10 if go there early.

Day 5 – A Tour To Moscow Manor Houses

Metro Station: Kolomenskoye, Tsaritsyno on Dark Green Line / Kuskovo on Purple Line

I love visiting the manor houses and palaces in Moscow. These opulent buildings were generally built to house Russian aristocratic families and monarchs. Houses tend to be rather grand affairs with impressive architecture. And, depending on the whims of the owners, some form of a landscaped garden.

During the early part of the 20th century though, many of Russia’s aristocratic families (including the family of the last emperor) ended up being killed or moving abroad . Their manor houses were nationalized. Some time later (after the fall of the USSR) these were open to the public. It means that today a great many of Moscow’s finest manor houses and palaces are open for touring.

20 Travel Tips I’ve Learned From Travelling The World

There are 20 manor houses scattered throughout the city and more than 25 in the area around. But not all of them easily accessible and exploring them often takes a lot of time. I’d recommend focusing on three most popular estates in Moscow that are some 30-minute metro ride away from Kremlin.

Sandwiched between the Moscow River and the Andropov Avenue, Kolomenskoye is a UNESCO site that became a public park in the 1920’s. Once a former royal estate, now it is one of the most tranquil parks in the city with gorgeous views. The Ascension Church, The White Column, and the grounds are a truly grand place to visit.

You could easily spend a full day here, exploring a traditional Russian village (that is, in fact, a market), picnicking by the river, enjoying the Eastern Orthodox church architecture, hiking the grounds as well as and wandering the park and gardens with wildflower meadows, apple orchards, and birch and maple groves. The estate museum showcases Russian nature at its finest year-round.

12 Stunning National Parks and Regional Parks In France

If my travel itinerary for one week in Moscow was a family tree, Tsaritsyno Park would probably be the crazy uncle that no-one talks about. It’s a large park in the south of the city of mind-boggling proportions, unbelievable in so many ways, and yet most travelers have never heard of it.

The palace was supposed to be a summer home for Empress Catherine the Great. But since the construction didn’t meet with her approval the palace was abandoned. Since the early 1990’s the palace, the pond, and the grounds have been undergoing renovations. The entire complex is now looking brighter and more elaborately decorated than at possibly any other time during its history. Like most parks in Moscow, you can visit Tsaritsyno free of charge, but there is a small fee if you want to visit the palace.

How To Stop Procrastinating When Trip Planning

Last, but by no means least on my Moscow itinerary is Kuskovo Park . This is definitely an off-the-beaten-path place. While it is not easily accessible, you will be rewarded with a lack of crowds. This 18th-century summer country house of the Sheremetev family was one of the first summer country estates of the Russian nobility. And when you visit you’ll quickly realize why locals love this park.

Like many other estates, Kuskovo has just been renovated. So there are lovely French formal garden, a grotto, and the Dutch house to explore. Make sure to plan your itinerary well because the estate is some way from a metro station.

Day 6 – Explore the Golden Ring

Creating the Moscow itinerary may keep you busy for days with the seemingly endless amount of things to do. Visiting the so-called Golden Ring is like stepping back in time. Golden Ring is a “theme route” devised by promotion-minded journalist and writer Yuri Bychkov.

Having started in Moscow the route will take you through a number of historical cities. It now includes Suzdal, Vladimir, Kostroma, Yaroslavl and Sergiev Posad. All these awe-inspiring towns have their own smaller kremlins and feature dramatic churches with onion-shaped domes, tranquil residential areas, and other architectural landmarks.

Two Weeks In Thailand: The Perfect 14-Day Itinerary

I only visited two out of eight cities included on the route. It is a no-brainer that Sergiev Posad is the nearest and the easiest city to see on a day trip from Moscow. That being said, you can explore its main attractions in just one day. Located some 70 km north-east of the Russian capital, this tiny and overlooked town is home to Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, UNESCO Site.

Sergiev Posad is often described as being at the heart of Russian spiritual life. So it is uncommon to see the crowds of Russian pilgrims showing a deep reverence for their religion. If you’re traveling independently and using public transport, you can reach Sergiev Posad by bus (departs from VDNKh) or by suburban commuter train from Yaroslavskaya Railway Station (Bahnhof). It takes about one and a half hours to reach the town.

Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius is a great place to get a glimpse of filling and warming Russian lunch, specifically at the “ Gostevaya Izba ” restaurant. Try the duck breast, hearty potato and vegetables, and the awesome Napoleon cake.

Day 7 – Gorky Park, Izmailovo Kremlin, Patriarch’s Ponds

Metro Station: Park Kultury or Oktyabrskaya on Circle Line / Partizanskaya on Dark Blue Line / Pushkinskaya on Dark Green Line

Gorky Park is in the heart of Moscow. It offers many different types of outdoor activities, such as dancing, cycling, skateboarding, walking, jogging, and anything else you can do in a park. Named after Maxim Gorky, this sprawling and lovely park is where locals go on a picnic, relax and enjoy free yoga classes. It’s a popular place to bike around, and there is a Muzeon Art Park not far from here. A dynamic location with a younger vibe. There is also a pier, so you can take a cruise along the river too.

How to Save Money While Traveling in Europe

The Kremlin in Izmailovo is by no means like the one you can find near the Red Square. Originally built for decorative purposes, it now features the Vernissage flea market and a number of frequent fairs, exhibitions, and conferences. Every weekend, there’s a giant flea market in Izmailovo, where dozens of stalls sell Soviet propaganda crap, Russian nesting dolls, vinyl records, jewelry and just about any object you can imagine. Go early in the morning if you want to beat the crowds.

All the Bulgakov’s fans should pay a visit to Patriarch’s Ponds (yup, that is plural). With a lovely small city park and the only one (!) pond in the middle, the location is where the opening scene of Bulgakov’s novel Master and Margarita was set. The novel is centered around a visit by Devil to the atheistic Soviet Union is considered by many critics to be one of the best novels of the 20th century. I spent great two hours strolling the nearby streets and having lunch in the hipster cafe.

Conclusion and Recommendations

To conclude, Moscow is a safe city to visit. I have never had a problem with getting around and most locals are really friendly once they know you’re a foreigner. Moscow has undergone some serious reconstruction over the last few years. So you can expect some places to be completely different. I hope my one week Moscow itinerary was helpful! If you have less time, say 4 days or 5 days, I would cut out day 6 and day 7. You could save the Golden Ring for a separate trip entirely as there’s lots to see!

What was their favourite thing about Russia?

Gladys Parker

I know very little about Moscow or Russia for the\at matter. I do know I would have to see the Red Square and all of its exquisite architectural masterpieces. Also the CATHEDRAL OF CHRIST THE SAVIOUR. Thanks for shedding some light on visiting Moscow.

Thanks for swinging by! The Red Square is a great starting point, but there way too many places and things to discover aside from it!

Ruthy @ Percolate Kitchen

You are making me so jealous!! I’ve always wanted to see Russia.

Moscow is in my bucket list, I don’t know when I can visit there, your post is really useful. As a culture rich place we need to spend at least week.

Perfect itinerary for spending a week in Moscow! So many places to visit and it looks like you had a wonderful time. I would love to climb that tower. The views I am sure must have been amazing!

I was lucky enough to see the skyline of Moscow from this TV Tower and it is definitely mind-blowing.

Chelsea Pearl

Moscow is definitely up there on my travel bucket list. So much history and iconic architecture!

Thumbs up! 🙂

OMG I dream to visit Moscow someday! Hope the visa processing would be okay (and become more affordable) so I could pursue my dream trip!
