Take a tour of the Kremlin
There are countless exhibits and attractions within the Kremlin that can easily occupy a full day: The Diamond Fund and the Armory showcase artifacts from the empire, while the fortified wall alone is already very interesting. A guided tour provides the necessary orientation and offers interesting facts and anecdotes that make visiting the Kremlin an unforgettable experience.GUM department store at Red Square | Pixabay

Walking through Red Square
Directly at the eastern border wall of the Kremlin is the ensemble of Red Square with the colorful St. Basil's Cathedral and the Lenin Mausoleum. A walk through the Red Square with a visit to its main attractions is a must for every Moscow visit!Boat trip on the Moskva River | Pixabay

Sailing through the city on the Moskva
Why not experience Moscow from the water? Various tourist companies offer river cruises and boat tours on the Moskva River, including guided tours, but also various options for a fine meal on board. From the river and the connected Wodootwodny Canal, you can see not only impressive bridges and other architectural highlights of Moscow but also the Gorky Park and the Kremlin!Cruises & Water Tours

Spend a day at the museum
Especially as an activity for rainy days in Moscow, the classic museum visit is very suitable. While the Russian capital is well equipped in terms of art museums, such as the Tretyakov Gallery and the Pushkin Museum, there are also great attractions for technology enthusiasts like the Cosmonauts Museum!Museums

Relax in Gorky Park
Sung by the Scorpions in Wind of Change, Gorky Park is a recreation area where you can relax by boating on one of the many small lakes, just take a break, or marvel at the prototype of the Soviet space shuttle Buran, which now houses a cinema.Golden Domes in Sergiev Posad | Pixabay

Kremlin
In the heart of Moscow lies the center of power in Russia: The Moscow Kremlin. Historically, it has been the seat of all ecclesiastical and secular power holders since the 15th century. The boundary wall of the castle along the Moskva River has 20 towers and, with its numerous palaces, churches, and museums, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1990.Kremlin and Lenin Mausoleum in Red Square | Pixabay

Red Square
Like the Kremlin, the Red Square is also on this list and is probably the most important sight of Moscow next to the Kremlin. A visit to the Red Square and taking part in a guided tour can be ideally combined with a visit to the Kremlin, as both top attractions of Moscow are right next to each other.Audience area of the Bolshoi Theatre | Flickr: Andrey Filippov CC-BY 2.0

Bolshoi Theatre
Worth seeing: The former residence of an industrialist, which today exhibits art, as well as the associated gardens with fountains, sculptures and private sea access! In the otherwise postmodern Miami, the Villa Vizcaya Museum is an interesting attraction for everyone who is interested in classical-modern art and architecture in the style of the neo-Renaissance.Pavilion of the Rabbit Breeders | Wiki Commons: Aleksei CC BY-SA 2.0

VDNKh
The Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy (formerly All-Russian Exhibition Center,abbrev. Russian VDNKh) was the place where the USSR exhibited its economic products in thematic pavilions. The huge area with about 100 artistically decorated pavilions is still a sightseeing attraction in Moscow today.Paintings in the Tretyakov Gallery | Pixabay

Tretyakov Gallery
The most significant collection of Russian art, next to the St. Petersburg Hermitage, is located here in the Tretyakov Gallery. The range of exhibited works mainly covers great domestic painters.Guided tour through the Soviet bunker | Kate Brady CC BY-SA 2.0

Bunker GO-42
In the Bunker GO-42 has been the Cold War Museum since 2006. The existence of the atomic bunker was kept secret until 1995 - today, the object is considered one of the most exciting museums that can be visited in Moscow.Domes of St. Basil's Cathedral | Pixabay

St. Basil's Cathedral
The vibrant colors of the Orthodox Cathedral immediately catch the eye. Not only the nine domes of the individual churches within the complex are particularly spectacular, but also the interior design with floral murals. A variety of different guided tours are offered for the church building.Museum of Soviet Arcade Machines | Flickr: Horst Jens CC BY-SA 2.0

Museum of Soviet Arcade Machines
Historically interesting not only for gamers and rather a secret tip: The private museum displays arcade machines produced in the Soviet Union from the 1970s onwards, which were mostly electromechanically operated and enthralled in the local arcades. Lovingly curated, the collection of the small museum already includes over 40 such machines!Kremlin in Izmailovo

Kremlin in Ismailovo
The other Kremlin is a leisure area in the northeast of Moscow, which was built until 2007 in the style of the 17th century. Here, there is a vodka and a fairy tale museum, craft markets, restaurants, and shops.More ideas for Moscow
