Moscow, absolutely amazing is the first thing that comes to mind. You can get everywhere, and I mean everywhere, amazingly cheap via the Underground.

When we flew from Vilnius, Lithuania to Moscow, we were given this entry card to fill out on the airplane. Well, it was all in Russian! And it was quite challenging for most people to fill it out. Although if you didn't, at the airport, they did have a sample filled out in English, but maybe not in …

I went last June, and the weather was perfect. Russia does get fairly hot and humid in summer, so that could be a plus or a minus, depending on what weather conditions you prefer. Winter is cold, snowy, and windy.
Overall, I would recommend spring or summer for Eastern Europe and Central Asia. …

There are a few things I learned as I surgically airstriked my way into Russia. It helps that the workers there generally speak some English, so no worries if your Russian isn't up to snuff.
First off, the annoying thing I learned once it was too late: Delta airlines does not allow its passengers…

Whilst being in Moscow for a mini break we decided to visit the Kremlin.
After purchasing our ticket we went to queue up at one of the entrances. When we got to the point where we needed to be checked we were told that we couldn't enter as my husband had a rucksack. We had to walk all the way back…

Sheremetyevo was remaining the only Moscow airport without the direct railway connection to the downtown for quite a long time.

So... you're visiting Russia for the first time. You don't speak Russian, you don't read Cyrillic. How do you get around? You might be standing in the baggage claim at Sheremetyevo. I suppose you could call a taxi and have previously arranged a ride - which will likely cost you about $100 to get …
