During any season, at any hour of the day, Moscow thrills visitors with its artistry, history and majesty.
The very founding site of
the city (and arguably, the country), the Kremlin and Red Square are
still at the heart of Moscow – historically, geographically and
spiritually. Feel the weight of this significance as you wander within
the walls of the ancient fortress, marvel at the mind-boggling
magnificence of St Basil's Cathedral and pay your respects to the
revered leader of a now-defunct state. Moscow will move you. It will
tantalise your senses, soothe your spirit and boggle your mind – and it
all starts right here at the Kremlin and Red Square.
Communist History
The remains of the Soviet
state are scattered all around the city. Monuments remember fallen
heroes and victorious battles, while museums attempt to analyse and
synthesise the past. See Lenin and Stalin – off their pedestals – at the
whimsical Art Muzeon. Step into the socialist-realist fantasy at VDNKh.
Descend into the depths of the Soviet system at Bunker-42 Cold War
Museum. Ride the museum-like metro and remember the millions who
suffered at the Gulag History Museum. Nowadays, retro clubs and cafes
give their guests a taste of the Soviet experience. You can even try
your hand at Soviet-era arcade games.
What is more thrilling than
watching a ballerina defy gravity, leaping across the stage at the
glittering Bolshoi Theatre? Or feeling the force of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture,
just a few blocks away from where it premiered more than a century ago?
Or oohing and aahing as circus performers soar under the big tent? The
classical performing arts in Moscow are still among the best in the
world. Nowadays, even the most traditional theatres are experimenting
with innovative arrangements, reviving lost favourites and hosting world
premieres. Whether you appreciate the classics or prefer the
contemporary, the capital's performing arts will impress.
At nearly every turn in
Moscow, you'll see golden domes peeking out over the rooftops and hear
church bells peeling through the streets, which are dotted with some 600
churches – many of which are glittering after recent renovations. There
are colourful hidden gems, historic fortresses and gargantuan
cathedrals. The exteriors are adorned with stone carvings and glittering
domes; interiors are packed with ancient icons, swirling incense and
faithful worshippers. For more than a millennium, Orthodoxy has helped
to define the Russian nation, a significance that is palpable in these
atmospheric spiritual places.
