Essential Travel Tips
Learn a few basic Russian phrases (hello, thank you, please) – locals appreciate the effort.
The Moscow Metro is efficient and beautiful; it's the best way to get around. Purchase a Troika card for easy travel.
Be prepared for varying weather; pack layers, especially if traveling during shoulder seasons.
Always carry some cash, as smaller shops or markets might not accept cards.
Tipping is appreciated in restaurants (around 10-15%) if service charge is not included.
When to Go
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Moscow for couples is late spring (May-June) or early autumn (September). During these months, the weather is pleasant, ideal for walking and outdoor activities, and the city is less crowded than in peak summer. The golden hues of autumn foliage or the blooming flowers of spring add to the city's romantic charm.
Local Insights & Tips
Moscow is a city of contrasts, blending ancient traditions with modern dynamism. Russians value politeness and a certain formality; a simple 'Здравствуйте' (Zdravstvuite - Hello) and 'Спасибо' (Spasibo - Thank you) go a long way. Public displays of affection are common but keep it respectful. The cultural scene is rich, from world-class ballet and opera to contemporary art spaces. Don't shy away from trying local markets for fresh produce and homemade treats, and remember that punctuality is generally expected for appointments and reservations.
