Essential Travel Tips
Learn a few basic Russian phrases (hello, thank you, please). While many people in tourist areas speak English, a few Russian words will be greatly appreciated.
Utilize the Moscow Metro for efficient and affordable transportation. It's an attraction in itself!
Carry small denominations of Russian Rubles for small purchases, although credit cards are widely accepted in larger establishments.
Be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded tourist areas, and keep valuables secure.
Dress in layers, especially during spring and autumn, as Moscow weather can be unpredictable. Comfortable walking shoes are a must.
Book popular attractions and theatre tickets in advance online to avoid long queues and ensure availability.
When to Go
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Moscow for couples is late spring (May-early June) or early autumn (September). During these months, the weather is pleasantly mild, ideal for walking and sightseeing, and the city's parks are at their most beautiful. Summer (July-August) can be warm and crowded, while winter (November-April) is very cold but offers a magical, snow-covered landscape and festive atmosphere.
Local Insights & Tips
Moscow is a city of contrasts, blending ancient traditions with a fast-paced modern lifestyle. Punctuality is valued, especially for appointments and reservations. Tipping around 10% in restaurants is customary if service isn't included. Photography is generally allowed in public spaces and museums (sometimes for a fee), but always be respectful of local customs, especially in religious sites. Public displays of affection are common among couples.
