Visiting Russia/Moscow?

Posted in Russia forum

Hey there!

I am trying to plan some international travel next year and considered putting Moscow (or other Russian city) on my itinerary. Currently, I do not speak any Russian and concerned with the assimilation during my trip.

I would prefer a 3day/2 night stay. I am interested in seeing/learning about historical landmarks and events. I presume Moscow would be my best choice since it is the capital?? I love going to museums, historical sites, etc.

Can anyone provide some insight for me? Is travel within Russia/Moscow/other cities 'safe' for an American 'tourist' such as myself? What are some
"must see" places/things to consider for my trip (with consideration of my 3day/2night timeframe)?

Thanks to everyone in advance for your insight and assistance!

    Hey Ryan,

    Well I can't really help you out with Moscow, but I've been in St. Petersburg for 2 years now and its pretty neat. You got the Hermitage, Peterhof (if you come in the summer the fountains will be working), plus the numerous number of cathedrals. Not to mention June is the White Nights time, its a little past midnight right now and outside looks like its just overcast. You may also consider coming at the end of May, for the city birthday celebration. They block off the main street so it turns into a massive sidewalk, with lots of things to do and see. The city arranges for 2 days of festivities.

    Have fun planing your trip.

    Karina
