Moscow Travel Guide - Things To Do

Bolshoi Theatre: a night at the famous Bolshoi Theatre can be a night that you will truly cherish for a long time. Few theatre companies present the classics with the dedication to accuracy and detail that the Bolshoi employs; and lovers of cultural entertainment would be foolish to pass up on the chance to watch these masters of performance art at work.

Eating out: with Moscow’s dining scene on the rise, there’s never been a better time to enjoy eating out in the Russian capital, whether it’s traditional Russian fare or international cuisine you are looking for. Take the time to seek out the places with live music and a little more character, and you’ll certainly enjoy the experience a whole lot more.

Moskva river boat trip: in the summer season, visitors can pick up the boat from metro Kievskaya (Kievskiy train station) and take a trip along the river as far as metro Proletarskaya. Trips take in many of the city’s major sights, including the Kremlin, Gorky Park and the magnificent monument of Peter the Great – giving a perspective that is unavailable by any other means.

Obraztsov Puppet Theatre: among the country’s most famous and reputable marionette companies, the Obraztsov Theatre presents daily performances of shows aimed at both children and adult spectators. Children’s performances air in the afternoon matinee slots, while shows with adult themes are presented in the evenings.
