Photography in Moscow Travel Reviews

Tips May 10, 2008
We have just come back from a mini break in Moscow. My husband is a keen photographer and whilst we were there we came across some things that you might need to know :

1) Professional photos in metro stations are not allowed (ie can't use flashes, tripods etc). It is also stated on their Moscow Metro webpage.
2) Tripods were not allowed in Red Square or St Basil's Cathedral. My hubby was stopped a few times on different days and asked not to use it.
3) Also can't use tripods in The Kremlin.

We don't know the reasons behind this but felt it's a good thing to know to save the keen photographers from lugging their tripod around everywhere.
