- Ibrahim IIstanbul, Türkiye6 contributionsİt's nice city i really liked Russians are a bit strange but the city is beautiful, especially the vodka culture is very nauseating.Written March 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Noah EDublin, Ireland7 contributionsStanding in Red Square for the first time, absorbing its vast size and grandeur, is truly remarkable, especially when the sun illuminates the golden minarets. However, turning your gaze to the far end and discovering this unique and quirky building is truly special. Whether day or night (preferably both), it's a must-see. Once inside, it's fascinating; although quite dark and seemingly small, it holds a very poignant story about the architect, adding to its allure.Written April 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Pete17Sydney, Australia184 contributionsEach metro stop is like taking a step into a different museum with the walls and ceilings magnificently designed. There are over 200 stations in Moscow's metro system but only the minority are awe-inspiring. Be prepared to share train carriages with the masses but gratefully the trains are every few minutes.Written August 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jbg74Saint Paul, MN1,057 contributionsThis museum is a treasure trove of Russian art by Russian artists. I loved the Vareshchagin hall which included his most famous central Asian paintings of war and death. Many of the most famous Russian paintings are here and there are some spectacular ones. This is one of the best art museums in the world. Vasnetsov's Bogatyrs is incredible. I really liked "The Rooks have Come Back" by Savrasov. There are a bunch of great forest scenes by Shishkin. If you are a Vrubel fan then you have to come here too. This is a definite must-see museum in Moscow. Since it is devoted to Slavic art I would probably rank it the top must-see museum.Written March 17, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jbg74Saint Paul, MN1,057 contributionsThe Kremlin is a great place to visit, definitely a must-see. The churches are beautiful, the Armoury Museum is great, and it is cool to walk around a place with so much Russian and Soviet history attached. If you see nothing else in Moscow, you have to see the Kremlin and the Tretyakov. Get a tour guide here as there is a lot of history to hear about.Written March 17, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A Kremlin visit is a must-see when in Moscow and this is an important part of a Kremlin visit.Written March 17, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Takarasina2,133 contributionsI criss-crossed that park with my wife in early September. We spent the whole day there.
Yes, it's sort of far from the centre, but the place is easily accessible by subway (really one of the best in the world!) and somewhat less so by car, due to intensive traffic (which is much friendlier on weekends, by the way).
Do choose nice weather, whatever season it is; it's the key to a pleasant stay. We did, and we enjoyed every minute of it!
Kolomenskaya metro station has just been reopened after a thorough overhaul (Kashirskaya too); the highway bordering it on the west is covered with brand-new asphalt; lawns are reformatted; all underground crossings are rebranded. So, the multi-annual renovation had been at last completed, literally just days before.
The park is charming and very well maintained. Key attractions have already been mentioned here, so I'd just add that it's quite often that various zany festivals, festivities, open-air games, etc. are organised there on weekends. Thus, do check in advance on their site (it has an English and even a Chinese page), please.
Parking alternatives are huge, and there shouldn't be any problem leaving one's car there, sometimes even for free.
Due to its enormous size, one may feel that toilet and café/restaurant facilities are scarce in some areas. Do bear in mind. I'd also recommend taking a walk through its distant, wilder part, which is closer to the Moskva River. Privacy will be superb!
Strongly recommended. Just take an umbrella with you and wear comfy shoes.Written September 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Ballet is superb and the best in the world, while opera may raise questions.
Practical tips for your visit:
Book tickets waay in advance, it's very hard to get;
Theater has multiple entrancies, it will take some time to find yours;
Taking pictures is officially allowed during the breaks;
Wearing elegant clothes is recommended but black tie isn't obligatory, especially for the daytime shows.Written January 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

With a wide range of brands to choose from, you can find something to your liking. I highly recommend you to try their ice cream and watermelon, as they are both delicious and refreshing.Written September 12, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Beautiful rooms with beautiful art, culture & lifestyle showcasing the 18the century Russian elite. Weather was comfortable cool (soon going to be cold). Best time to visit is summers (May to August). No electricity is established, so as to maintain its original form. It was the Summer or Party palace (not the residence) of Count Pyotr Sheremetyov. Was Used for hosting grand receptions for diplomats and parties for elite. Has a lovely & big pond. Beautiful gardens and sculptures. Silk wallpaper, woven tapestries & 18th century chinaware are absolutely fascinating. Closes during winters.
P.S.- English speaking guide definitely improves the whole experience!Written September 27, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
