After visiting the Winter Palace, Summer Palace and the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in St. Petersburg, the Kremlin seems nothing special. It is mainly a political office and has a certain special significance.
It is worth recommending here, but the self-funded project of 500 yuan can be tried, value for money, there are 3 churches inside to visit outside there are artillery kings and giant bells can also browse the Russian Parliament Building, Putin Office Building, National Military and Ring Bureau...

The actors performed with passion, the music was played by a live band, and the lights were gorgeous. The circus you and I watched at the Matryoshka Hotel was better. If you come to Moscow for a trip, it is worth seeing. It is very convenient to buy tickets on Ctrip. You can just scan the QR code when entering.
Very huge and exciting place. Located on Vernadskogo avenue close to the center of Moscow. There are many entertainments, animals, cafes.

Finally, I called it a day. How can you come to Moscow without visiting this place?
The red building is still very interesting. There are also many patrolling soldiers. It feels different.
It’s just too cold in winter and a bit deserted.
Red Square is located in the center of Moscow, Russia. It is a famous square in Russia. It is also the venue for major events in Moscow and one of the famous landmarks of Moscow. There are also St. Basil's Cathedral nearby.

A place that gives you a comprehensive understanding of Russia's history from the ape age to the early 19th century. There are 36 exhibition halls, each of which is not large, but the exhibits are very classic. Unfortunately, the Chinese audio guide can only hear the introduction of a small part of the selected exhibits, and the rest depends on your own research. It is worth coming a few more times
This Musuem is so worth your time. They have magnificent collection of art, pieces of great historical value and beautiful things reminiscent to the glorious time of the Stars. Exquisite collection of sacred art and crown jewels and beautiful trinkets.

Definitely worth the visit. Breathtaking and very different
Is there anything else to recommend about this attraction? This is the symbol of Russia and Moscow! Staying at the National Hotel, you can come here early the next day to enjoy the private viewing and take photos from all angles.

This museum is a sculpture museum that reproduces art sculptures from all over the world. It represents sculptures from various eras in Europe, such as Michelangelo's David. There are headphones with Chinese explanations. Go to each museum and follow the numbers to explain. It costs 450 rubles.
It is easy and quick to use. You don't need to print it. Just show the QR code. It's just that you have to keep a coat in these museums in Russia. It's a bit cold to visit. There are mummies and many sculptures in the museum. There is a cafe and free toilet on the underground first floor. It is very close to the Cathedral of Christ the Savior.

GUM: Iconic Shopping HavenMy visit to GUM in Moscow's city center near Red Square was a delightful experience. The historic architecture combined with a vast array of shops offered a unique and luxurious shopping atmosphere. From high-end fashion boutiques to traditional Russian goods, GUM catered to every taste and preference. The grandeur of the surroundings added to the allure of the shopping experience, making it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Moscow.
GUM Department Store is the largest comprehensive commercial complex in Moscow. Many of the facilities in the mall are very unique. You can buy some goods and items with Moscow's ethnic characteristics here. The prices are quite reasonable, making it very suitable for shopping.

It is OK for foreigners to watch the dance. This ballet "The Flames of Paris" is grand, colorful and sensory. It lasts about two and a half hours, with a break of more than 20 minutes in the middle. You are not allowed to take photos during the performance, except when the actors take their bows at the end. I bought a third-class seat on Ctrip, but it was actually a first-class seat. Of course, the ticket booking fee is very expensive.
Bolshoi Theatre: A Timeless SpectacleAttending a performance of "The Nutcracker" at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow was a truly magical experience. The grandeur of the historic venue combined with the exquisite ballet performance created an unforgettable evening. From the elegant choreography to the stunning set design, every aspect of the production was executed with perfection. The timeless tale of "The Nutcracker" came to life on stage, captivating the audience with its beauty and grace. A visit to the Bolshoi Theatre for this iconic performance is a must for anyone seeking enchantment and culture in Moscow.

I booked while in Russia, the app works great there, the payment via visa went perfectly. The State Tretyakov Gallery is beyond stunning. The pieces there are just wonderful. Of course there are tickets offices, & baggage offices, the staff are very kind too! it is all very well organised. I absolutely recommend to visit, and just enjoy the great art work.
The entrance is very obvious, but the map is not very accurate. We walked around and found a place to store our bags. There are dozens of exhibition halls inside, and it takes almost half a day to visit them all. These oil paintings look very real and shocking. The price-performance ratio is very high. For laymen like us, it doesn't matter whether we rent the equipment or not.

The Central Armed Forces Museum is definitely worth a visit. It's conveniently located, not crowded, and the staff are friendly. There are about 20 museums in total, and it takes about two hours to see them all. You can also buy souvenirs at reasonable prices. Overall, it's a very worthwhile place to visit. When we were there, there were dozens of new Russian soldiers receiving patriotic education, and we were able to listen to them, which was quite interesting.
The Central Museum of the Armed Forces in Moscow, Russia, displays a history of Soviet military from the establishment of the first regular army to today. It is the most complete place in the world to witness the 70-year history of the Soviet Red Army. The museum exhibits more than 800,000 military exhibits, including military flags, medals, weapons, military transportation vehicles, military uniforms and military equipment from various periods. Armed transportation vehicles and weapons are displayed in the main exhibition hall of the museum, ranging from various weapons used during the civil war from 1918 to 1922 to today's advanced ballistic missiles.
