Congrats on your Visa! Now you need to get a good guidebook and do some research ... what are your interests, how long is your trip? Moscow can keep you occupied forever!

You've not provided any pertinent information - how many with you or are you traveling solo?

Researching should be a fun part of your trip!

It will be the season for theatre, opera, and ballet. Lucky you! Be sure to have a drink/meal at the Metropole Hotel, an Art Deco masterpiece located between the Bolshoi Theatre and Red Square.

Congrats! Now it's time to sit down with your guidebooks -- or to visit them at your local library. There is a TON that is worth seeing in Moscow! And as Bedar notes, you'll be there in time to take advantage of some of Moscow's finest performing arts. Enjoy!

Oops, the Metropol is Art Nouveau, of course.

Hey everyone! I just back from Russia! It was cold, amazing, unforgettable! Thank you all for answers!

Now I'm going to come back to Moscow in summer so would appreciate any tips of how to spend my time in Moscow in July. I believe there are so many ways to have fun there in summer!

Not knowing what you saw in February, it will be difficult to suggest something different for July, unless it is a river trip or something like that. Most things are open summer and winter. St Petersburg is a city made for summer, so you might want to see that. Moscow will have a different vibe in the summer esp as it can get quite hot and humid. Don't forget mosquito repellent, even in Moscow.

HI - We were in Moscow in early October. I suggest you go to the All Russian Exhibition Center. It's outdoors and has various buildings that represent all of the former Soviet countries and a huge park. It's really something to see. it even has a Soviet era ferris wheel which we went on.

Right next to it is the Cosmonaut museum. We never made it inside, but we are going in Sept. and intend to do it then.

Both are gotten to by the VDNKh metro station.

Watch out around the Kremlin in case you miss human rights people or opposition politicians getting killed, still just step over them if they get in your way.
