I love Moscow. Right now, I am in the US for college, but hope to go...
Pros: The history. The sights. The people. The architecture. The vodka. Cons: The bureaucracy. The traffic. The cold.
Moscow is a city that seems to do its best to deter me. My travels have always been on business and I doubt if I had been paying for the trip myself I would have bothered to fight the bureaucracy of applying for a visa and paid the astronomical hotel ...
Pros: The trip out to the monastery was just as interesting as the monastery itself! Cons: Remote location.
Located about sixty kilometers west of Moscow is an area called New Jerusalem. It is just one in a long line of small towns that dot the railway route leading out of Moscow from Riga Station, but it is home to one of Russia’s most intriguing...

Pros: Interesting and Unusual Cons: Very little English spoken, large differences between rich and poor.
It’s my first visit to Russia and frankly I am a little bit nervous about it. Over the past few months I have had several business trips in Eastern Europe. I have partied in Prague, boogied in Budapest and wowed the crowd in Warsaw. But still, ...
Pros: Fascinating country... Cons: Hard to communicate at times
As I prepared to travel to Russia and Ukraine for the first time I read lots of books, talked to people who'd traveled there and searched the web for nuggets of information about both countries.

I first travelled to Moscow in September 1998 for a three-month program to study acting, Russian theater history, Russian dramatic literature and design. I ended up falling in love with the city and the people so deeply that I returned after a brief...
Pros: Lots of art, culture, history Cons: don't take credit cards!
After an eight hour train trip from St.Petersburg, we arrived at a very crowded railway station. We were just so happy that the four of us ladies survived the trip without being robbed or gassed, or many other stories we heard about Russian trains! Our...

Pros: Lots of variety Cons: Not enough time allowed to spend there
Our guard, Vladimir, guided us to Armat Street, a pedestrian mall in central Moscow, where we wandered through many street vendors selling Matryushka (stacking) dolls, which were different than the ones we'd seen previously. Books, fur hats of many...
Pros: Moscow is a fast blossoming destination for American tourists. Cons: Your wife won't like the toilet facilitys. Forget travelers checks. Visa MUST be in order!
My wife and I were very fortunate. Of course a person tends to make up much of his (her) fortune. Ours was made when I befriended and assisted a group of Russian mineral collectors in Tucson a few years ago. Long story short we met, I helped, and they...

Pros: Chaos, incredible energy, something for everyone Cons: gets very cold and dark in winter
I lived in Moscow from 1996 until 1998 running a bar, and in St. Petersburg from 1994 to 1995. As a 23 year old American woman living in the city of Moscow, I would not agree with the contention that Moscow is overall a dangerous place to live or visit,...

Pros: The only underground I know that can boast to be a museum Cons: Unfortunately (besides what I've already stated) this is a place where pick pockets occur more often that in any other places. Be careful!
Review Topic: Sights & Attractions
At first I should say that this one is an opinion of a Moscow resident. But I got used to regard the Moscow underground as a sight. That's true. When in the thirties Stalin wanted to build...
Pros: There was food to eat Cons: Not enough to drink
Breakfast in our hotel was very skimpy indeed when it came to the beverages. We were allowed only 1/4 glass of juice, no water, and coffee only at the end of the meal. We each were given tiny pieces of white or brown bread, and two pieces of cheese...

Pros: See an authentic piece of Russian history! Cons: Not for those prone to nightmares.
My visit to Lenin's tomb in Red Square was both creepy and fascinating at the same time. The edifice itself is meant to be foreboding, but the clean design is beautiful, too. You enter a black room, where the only light is concentrated on Lenin himself....
Moscow is an interesting city. Walk around and you can see that the city and its atmosphere is still dominated by the communist past of Russia. Drab buildings can be found everywhere, as can crumblimng infrastructure such as roads. But take another...
