For your upcoming romantic and adventurous trip to Moscow, I recommend reading "Moscow: A Cultural History" by Caroline Brooke for an engaging background on the city. For insight into Russian art, "Art of the Soviet Union" by Matthew Cullerne Bown is a fantastic companion before your Tretyakov Gallery tour. If you’d like expert guidance during your stay, consider hiring professional guides such as Moscow Private Tours or Walks With Me Moscow, both highly rated for personalized experiences. Finally, "Lonely Planet Moscow" offers excellent practical tips for travelers and can serve as your trusty companion throughout your journey.

About the destination

Moscow, the political, historical and economic capital of Russia, showcases the country's most extreme contrasts. The old and the modern merge seamlessly in this city of 10 million people. The Russian capital is today a dazzling metropolis whose sheer grandeur never ceases to astonish. Take the metro from one of the ornate stations to get close to the city’s main attractions that are a symbol of the city's grand and terrible past. The remnants of the Soviet state are scattered throughout the city. Monuments commemorate fallen heroes and victorious battles, while museums strive 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. Delve into the depths of the Soviet system at Bunker-42 Cold War Museum. And remember the millions who suffered at the Gulag History Museum. Nowadays, many fun or clever retro clubs and cafes offer their guests a taste of the Soviet experience. 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. Among the city’s most recognisable sights are the almost cartoon-like onion domes of St Basil’s Cathedral that tower above Red Square, UNESCO gems that were built between the 14th and 17th centuries. Modern-day Moscow defies its grey Soviet past and has developed a hedonistic atmosphere and the sense that great things are once again happening here. Shopping for designer labels at frighteningly expensive boutiques has become a national sport, but Moscow is considered one of the world’s most culturally sophisticated capitals, with world-class institutions like the Bolshoi Theatre, the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory and the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts. The city is also proud of its great writers, playwrights, composers, choreographers, and film-makers. Glitzy, historical and screaming hedonism, Moscow is truly captivating.
