The 11 Best Compression Socks for Women of 2024

Stay comfortable in the air and on the ground with high-quality compression socks.

Compression socks essentially assist the body with moving blood from the feet back to the heart. “Since the feet are the furthest away from the heart, blood can pool there, especially when immobile or still for long periods,” explains physical therapist Dr. Autumn Hanson, PT, DPT. “When active, muscles pump the blood from the feet to the legs and eventually back to the heart. However, without movement, the leg muscles cannot help the heart return the blood back to the heart.”

Looking for the right compression socks for your specific needs or lifestyle? Try our top pick, Charmking’s Copper Compression Socks — they’re comfy, effective, and stylish. But, if they’re not for you, we’ve rounded up plenty of other options that’ll help your next overnight flight, or hike through a new city, be as comfortable and pain-free as possible.

Best Overall

Charmking 3 pairs copper compression socks.

This set of neutral compression socks is subtle and comfortable enough to wear for long periods of time.

The sizing runs small and might not work for larger calves.

Most of us are quick to assume that compression socks equal some sterile or medical-looking contraption that will stand out in a not-so-good way. However, the Charmking Copper Compression Socks do the opposite of that. This set of three pairs comes in distinct neutrals that look more like something out of a Kim Kardashian fashion line , and not a medical garment. The socks also have a compression rating of just 15-20 mmHg so you can easily get away with wearing them all day — whether that’s on a long-haul flight or putting in steps while exploring a new city.

The Details: Sizes S to XL | Nylon, spandex | 15-20 mmHg

Iseasoo Copper Compression Socks for Men & Women Compression Socks for Men & Women

These moisture-wicking copper socks ensure all-day comfort and proper air circulation as well.

The ankle-length design won’t help with swelling as much as a knee-high option.

Looking for an ankle-length compression sock that’ll help with circulation in the feet and lower legs? The Iseasoo Copper Compression Socks for Men & Women offer gentle compression from toe to ankle that’ll help reduce swelling and promote blood flow throughout the feet and even into the legs as well. This option is made with a copper-infused anti-inflammatory material and offers a moisture-wicking design that’ll ensure your feet stay dry and well-ventilated even during long-term wear. We also like that these socks are made with a “stay put” cuff that helps ensure they won’t fall down or slip into your shoe while walking.

Best Thigh-high

Athbavib compression stocking.

This thigh-high sock offers inclusive sizing that’ll work for wider calves and plus-size folks as well.

The thigh-high design might start to roll or fall down with long-term wear.

Thigh-high compression socks might not be necessary for flying — unless you’re dealing with serious inflammation or blood circulation issues. That being said, these thigh-high options will serve you well if you’re planning on taking on serious physical activity while traveling. The toe-to-thigh design provides a gentle compression that helps prevent the pooling of blood or fluid retention, making standing on your feet for hours much more comfortable. This pair is available in classic beige or black depending on your style and goes up to 4XL for more universal comfort and fit compared to other brands.

The Details: Sizes S to 4XL | Nylon, spandex | 20-32 mmHg

Best Budget

Dr. scholl's compression knee high socks.

These graduated compression socks are made in the US and are machine-washable and dryer-friendly as well.

This sock is quite thick and might be too hot for warmer climates.

Dr. Scholl’s is well-known for its high-quality orthopedic shoe inserts and accessories — and the Dr. Scholl's Graduated Compression Knee High Socks offer the same quality and comfort . The knee-length socks are made using a blend of nylon and spandex that helps to wick moisture and provide ample ventilation while still providing a graduated compression suitable for all-day wear. This option is slightly thicker than the average compression sock, which can be great for winter weather but might be too toasty if you’re traveling into warmer climates or tend to run hot.

The Details: Sizes 4 to 12 | Nylon, spandex | 10-15 mmHg

Best Stocking

Lin performance compression stockings.

This open-toe stocking was made to offer firm compression for those who experience major swelling or blood pooling issues.

The open-toe design isn’t great if you’re going to be wearing sneakers or closed-toe shoes.

The Lin Performance 20-30 mmHg Compression Stockings provide ample compression from foot to thigh with a graduated pressure that becomes lighter at the top. This is a great option for those who experience significant swelling or blood pooling when sitting for long periods of time — but it might not be the best option for those looking for gentle compression for all-day wear. You’ll also want to keep in mind that this option features an open-toe design which might not be the best choice if you plan to wear them outside the house or hotel room.

The Details: Sizes S to XXL | Nylon, spandex | 20-30 mmHg

Best Wide-calf

Copperjoint wide calf copper compression socks compression socks.

This copper-infused option goes up to 5XL and was designed to support those who have wider calves.

The copper design and logo aren’t the most aesthetically pleasing.

Compression socks were designed to fit snugly and feel a little tight — but they shouldn’t be cutting off your circulation or feel uncomfortable in any way. If you have wider calves or want a looser fit, look to the Copper Joint Wide Calf Copper Compression Socks. This special design was made to provide the same benefits of gentle compression to those who prefer a little more room for comfort. At the same time, the copper-infused fabric helps provide pain relief as well as moisture-wicking properties that’ll keep your feet dry and well-ventilated.

The Details: Sizes S to 5XL | Nylon | 15-20 mmHg

Best Zippered

Lemon hero compression socks for women.

The smart zippered design makes it easy to pull on and pull off this pair of compression socks.

They tend to leave temporary indentations on the skin.

Putting on and taking off compression socks isn’t for the faint of heart! It can be difficult to yank the tight-fitting stockings from your ankle to your knees — and even more difficult to pull them off once you’ve been wearing them for a full day. That’s exactly where the Lemon Hero Health Zipper Compression Socks for Women come into play. The fully zippered socks are easy to put on thanks to the built-in zipper design that runs along the side of the sock. The only downfall is that this pair tends to run small so you might want to go up a size or two larger than what you’d usually wear to ensure an optimal fit.

The Details: Sizes M to 6XL | Polyester, spandex | 15-20 mmHg

Best for Athletes

Paplus compression running sock with ankle support.

This pair offers a breathable material with a supportive sole for runners and athletic types.

They are probably the least compressive socks on our list.

Sure, there are endorphins and endurance and all kinds of plusses that come along with running, but it can still be pretty hard on the body. The Paplus Low Cut Compression Running Sock with Ankle Support was designed with runners in mind and helps to decrease swelling in the ankles and feet that can sometimes occur on long and strenuous runs. The Paplus sock also features a breathable but supportive sole to help cushion the impact on the concrete. The moderate compression is gentle enough to wear for long periods of time but firm enough to ensure proper circulation and prevent swelling.

The Details: Sizes S to XL | Nylon, polyester | 15-20 mmHg

Aoliks Compression Socks for Women

This colorful set is cheerful and fun while still providing firm compression when it’s needed.

The top of each sock tends to be a bit tight compared to similar styles of compression socks.

Some of us just need a little personality in our sock drawer — and the Aoliks Compression Socks for Women certainly aren’t short on it. The colorful set of compression socks comes with cheeky designs like pineapples and cacti but doesn’t skimp on what it was made for: to provide firm compression from toe to thigh. This set offers a compression rating of 20-30mmHG, which is firm enough for those experiencing serious swelling or blood pooling when sitting. That said — it might be too firm for those looking for a sock they can wear for the entire day.

The Details: Sizes S to XL | Nylon, polyester | 20-30 mmHG

Best Sleeve

Techware pro ankle brace compression sleeve.

This minimal sleeve provides subtle compression through the ankle and into the legs.

The open-toe design can be tough to wear out of the house or with closed-toe shoes.

This tiny ankle sleeve might not look like much, but it provides 20-30mmHG of compression, which is considered to be very firm. This option can easily be thrown into your carry-on for a quick change on the airplane, or used to help support arthritic or injured ankles or feet. It’s also a great option for preventing sprains or stress fractures while hiking or setting out for a long day of walking through the city. The open-toe design can be tough to wear with closed-toe sneakers but the firm compression allows you to slip a regular sock underneath the sleeve as needed.

The Details: Sizes S to XXL | Nylon, spandex | 20-30 mmHG

Most Breathable

Comrad stripes knee-high compression socks.

They'll keep your feet cool and dry while traveling.

To avoid shrinking, they should be hung up to dry.

Comrad's stylish and comfortable compression socks are breathable, but they don't sacrifice compression quality since they're actually designed to increase circulation and reduce soreness and swelling. The moisture-wicking nylon will keep your legs supported throughout long-haul flights without causing excess sweat. These socks are designed with SmartSilver Ions to eliminate odor and keep your feet fresher for longer, too.

The Details: Sizes S to XL with some wide options | Nylon, spandex | 15-20 mmHG

Tips for Buying Compression Socks

Understand compression levels.

It’s important to understand the different compression levels and which level would work best for your specific needs or lifestyle before making a decision on a pair of compression socks. The millimeter of mercury — or mmHg — ranges from 10 mmHg to 40-50 mmHg. That said, the most common mmHg for over-the-counter compression socks will be anywhere from 10 to 30 mmHg. If you’re looking for something to wear on a daily basis, you’ll want to consider starting with 10-15 mmHg, which is considered light pressure. If you’re looking for something to use on a long flight, you’re better off looking for 20-30 mmHg, which will provide firm pressure and enough support for long-term sitting.

Choose the most effective materials

Compression socks are not unlike regular socks in that you’re going to be wearing them, walking around, and probably getting a little sweaty. Look for socks that have some combination of spandex and nylon to help ensure you’re getting proper moisture-wicking and ventilation. It’s also worth considering a pair of copper-infused compression socks for added anti-inflammatory and blood circulation properties.

Pay close attention to sizing

Compression socks should feel snug, but they shouldn’t feel uncomfortable or cut off your circulation. On the other hand, if you’re wearing loose-fitting compression socks you may as well not be wearing them at all. Your compression socks should fit comfortably and stay up without having to adjust them over and over. They should be loose enough to pull in place relatively easily and shouldn’t cause any pain or discomfort at all. If you think your compression socks are too small, don’t try to break them in as they could cause serious health problems. Instead, exchange them for a size larger.

“Compression socks work by applying gentle pressure to your lower legs which helps encourage proper circulation and blood flow from your feet back to your heart. Proper circulation is necessary to support oxygenation and nutrient delivery to your whole body,” explains Kris Adair, MSN, FNP-BC, and Owner of Adair Family Clinic & MedSpa. “Sometimes when we stand too long or eat salty foods, circulation and blood flow to our lower legs can become sluggish or take longer to get back to the heart causing swelling, soreness, discomfort, and stagnation of blood and the delivery of nutrients to our body. Wearing compression socks helps reduce these issues significantly.”

Compression socks are helpful for a variety of people, including diabetics and those who are pregnant as they can improve circulation. According to Adair, “During pregnancy, the weight of carrying a baby and the change in circulation can cause lower leg and ankle swelling,” she explains. "Wearing compression socks for pregnant women will help manage these symptoms and provide much-needed relief during this time. Keep in mind that during pregnancy or for a specific medical condition, it is important to talk with your provider as certain types of compression socks are better and safer for use to encourage proper circulation, blood flow, and reduce swelling.”

“Compression socks are great especially when flying,” says Adair. “The change in cabin pressure, altitude, and weather can directly change the way our body circulates blood, often leading to fluid retention and causing swelling in our lower legs, ankles, and feet. Wearing compression socks before getting on a plane will help provide gentle pressure to your lower legs encouraging proper circulation, and reducing swelling and discomfort.”

The length of time to wear compression socks depends on the activity or reason for wearing them. For travel, Adair recommends wearing compression socks for the duration of the flight or travel day and then they can be removed as this is beneficial to support circulation, and reduce swelling and discomfort.

“For the general benefit of wearing compression socks, it’s best to wear them during the day for about 8-12 hours, and then they can be removed in the evening when you’re able to rest or put your feet up,” says Adair.

For daily wear and short trips, you don't need a high level of compression. Generally, 10-15 mmHg is enough for everyday use, after workouts, and even for flights. Higher levels of compression socks, 40-50 mmHg, should be reserved for medical recovery. You should consult with your doctor after any medical procedure, or to manage any medical conditions, before you decide to wear compression socks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you wear support socks at night?

It’s not usually harmful to wear support socks during sleeping hours as long as they don’t cause discomfort. However, wearing support socks in bed at night is often unnecessary and in many cases, it’s unlikely to provide any benefit.

Support socks are designed to help prevent swelling in the legs that occurs when the blood circulating through the veins has trouble making it back to the heart. Most people sleep lying down with their legs elevated, making it easier for blood to circulate freely since the body isn’t working against the force of gravity. It can also be beneficial to give the legs a break from wearing support socks. Some people experience mild discomfort, including skin irritation, from wearing support socks for prolonged periods.

There may be specific reasons for wearing support socks to bed, depending on your condition. Ask your healthcare provider if support socks are recommended while you sleep. It’s best to wear support socks as directed specifically by you healthcare provider.

Do you wear ankle support over socks?

Check with the manufacturer to determine if your ankle support is intended to be worn over socks. Some types of ankle support are designed to be worn over bare skin. In these cases, wearing socks underneath may cause issues, such as chafing. In other cases, ankle support is intended to be worn over socks in order to protect the skin.

Do arch support socks work?

Arch support socks may be beneficial for some people. However, traditional arch support shoe inserts may be more effective. If you have arch pain, consider full-sized orthotics specially designed to address pain in the arch of the foot. Dr. Scholl’s® Pain Relief Orthotics for Arch Pain fit easily into most shoes without the need for trimming. The added arch support helps reduce stress on the arch area while Shock Guard® technology minimizes impact. For women who wear flats, Dr. Scholl’s® Stylish Step® Hidden Arch Support for Flats are a great choice. The soft gel arch supports fit discreetly into shoes without causing foot crowding.

How do support socks work?

Support socks, also known as compression socks, are designed to improve circulation in the legs, and they can help reduce blood pooling in the veins of the leg. Support socks gently squeeze the legs to encourage blood flow back to the heart.

Support socks can help relieve swelling and heaviness in the legs. They may also help reduce the risk of serious health issues such as blood clots and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Some people wear support socks to minimize leg swelling during long flights. There are also people who wear compression socks to help with symptoms associated with varicose veins, such as aches and pains, muscle cramping and swelling.

How to measure for support socks

Check with the brand for instructions on how to measure for their specific support socks. In general, it’s advised to use a tape measure and follow these instructions:

Measure the narrowest part of the ankle, which is the area just above the anklebone.
Measure the widest part of the calf.
For thigh high support socks, measure the widest part of the thigh.
If you’re measuring for length, measure from the floor under the back of the heel to the area just above the backside of the knee. If you’re measuring for length for thigh high support socks, measure from the floor under the heel to just below where the buttocks begin on the back of the leg.

How to put on support socks

In order to put on support socks, it’s best to consult the instructions from your specific brand if they’re available. Instructions can vary depending on the brand and type of support socks. In general, you can put on support socks following these steps:

Put support socks on first thing in the morning when the legs are less likely to be swollen.
Start with clean skin. Avoid applying lotions or creams as the ingredients could prevent the socks from gliding easily over the skin.
Insert your foot into the toes of the sock and slowly slide the sock up the leg.
Make small adjustments as necessary, gently pulling the sock further up by starting at the bottom and working your way up the leg. Avoid pulling from the top of the sock.
If you’re putting on thigh high support socks, it’s best to stand up when pulling the socks over the knees.

How to wear ankle support with socks

Check the instructions for the brand of ankle support you’re using to find out if it’s advisable to wear the product with socks. Some types of ankle support are designed to be worn without socks while some brands recommend wearing socks with their ankle supports.

If you’re using a type of ankle support designed to be worn with socks, it’s important to note that some brands recommend wearing the socks over the ankle support while other brands recommend wearing socks under the ankle support. It’s usually best to choose a style of sock that extends past the ankle support.

What are support socks?

Support socks, sometimes referred to as compression socks, are a type of specialty sock that fits snugly around the legs in order to promote better circulation. Support socks may help reduce the risk of a number of issues related to poor circulation in the legs, including swelling, aching and blood clots.

Many types of support socks feature graduated compression. This means the socks fit tightly around the feet and ankles and then become less tight as the sock moves up the leg. Support socks come in knee high and thigh high styles. There are also support socks that only feature a sleeve but no foot.

Some types of support socks are available over-the-counter while other types are prescribed by a doctor.

Where can I buy support socks?

Many styles of support socks can be purchased over-the-counter at retailers such as drug stores and department stores as well as online retailers. Other types of support socks require a prescription from a doctor.

Do I wear ankle support over or under sock?

Read the instructions from the manufacturer carefully in order to determine if you need to wear your ankle support over or under your sock. There are many different types of ankle support and the instructions vary from brand to brand.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What materials are travel socks made of.

Travel socks are made to provide comfort and relief during long-distance travel and long-haul flights. They’re often made up of merino wool for moisture-wicking properties, polyester for durability, and nylon and elastane for good elasticity and comfort. Silicone bands provide extra grip and stability and prevent the socks from slipping off. Many travel socks also contain metals such as silver or copper-infused threads since they have antimicrobial properties that prevent odor.

What are travel socks used for?

Travel socks are designed to be worn for longer periods of traveling, especially those that involve sitting for hours. They help in blood circulation, prevent swelling, and leg fatigue, and give support to the muscle. They also reduce the risk of varicose veins and lower the risk of deep vein thrombosis. Moreover, for individuals prone to leg pain, these compression socks can help relieve discomfort.

Who should not wear travel socks?

While travel socks are good for long flights, there may be certain drawbacks for people with certain medical conditions. Those who have circulation disorders, peripheral artery disease, skin infections and congestive heart failure are advised to not wear travel socks without consulting a health expert. In some cases, individuals with claustrophobia or sensory disorders should be careful in wearing compression socks as they usually fit tightly on the legs.

What age is suitable to wear travel socks?

Individuals over the age of 40 should consider wearing compression travel socks, as age is the strongest factor for venous thrombosis. Moreover, pregnant women, athletes, and individuals with sedentary lifestyles and varicose veins are advised to wear travel socks. If you have any questions, consult with a healthcare professional before wearing compression socks on your next trip.

In Transit: Notes from the Underground

Jun 06 2018.

Spend some time in one of Moscow’s finest museums.

Subterranean commuting might not be anyone’s idea of a good time, but even in a city packing the war-games treasures and priceless bejeweled eggs of the Kremlin Armoury and the colossal Soviet pavilions of the VDNKh , the Metro holds up as one of Moscow’s finest museums. Just avoid rush hour.

The Metro is stunning and provides an unrivaled insight into the city’s psyche, past and present, but it also happens to be the best way to get around. Moscow has Uber, and the Russian version called Yandex Taxi , but also some nasty traffic. Metro trains come around every 90 seconds or so, at a more than 99 percent on-time rate. It’s also reasonably priced, with a single ride at 55 cents (and cheaper in bulk). From history to tickets to rules — official and not — here’s what you need to know to get started.

A Brief Introduction Buying Tickets Know Before You Go (Down) Rules An Easy Tour

A Brief Introduction

Moscow’s Metro was a long time coming. Plans for rapid transit to relieve the city’s beleaguered tram system date back to the Imperial era, but a couple of wars and a revolution held up its development. Stalin revived it as part of his grand plan to modernize the Soviet Union in the 1920s and 30s. The first lines and tunnels were constructed with help from engineers from the London Underground, although Stalin’s secret police decided that they had learned too much about Moscow’s layout and had them arrested on espionage charges and deported.

The beauty of its stations (if not its trains) is well-documented, and certainly no accident. In its illustrious first phases and particularly after the Second World War, the greatest architects of Soviet era were recruited to create gleaming temples celebrating the Revolution, the USSR, and the war triumph. No two stations are exactly alike, and each of the classic showpieces has a theme. There are world-famous shrines to Futurist architecture, a celebration of electricity, tributes to individuals and regions of the former Soviet Union. Each marble slab, mosaic tile, or light fixture was placed with intent, all in service to a station’s aesthetic; each element, f rom the smallest brass ear of corn to a large blood-spattered sword on a World War II mural, is an essential part of the whole.

The Metro is a monument to the Soviet propaganda project it was intended to be when it opened in 1935 with the slogan “Building a Palace for the People”. It brought the grand interiors of Imperial Russia to ordinary Muscovites, celebrated the Soviet Union’s past achievements while promising its citizens a bright Soviet future, and of course, it was a show-piece for the world to witness the might and sophistication of life in the Soviet Union.

It may be a museum, but it’s no relic. U p to nine million people use it daily, more than the London Underground and New York Subway combined. (Along with, at one time, about 20 stray dogs that learned to commute on the Metro.)

In its 80+ year history, the Metro has expanded in phases and fits and starts, in step with the fortunes of Moscow and Russia. Now, partly in preparation for the World Cup 2018, it’s also modernizing. New trains allow passengers to walk the entire length of the train without having to change carriages. The system is becoming more visitor-friendly. (There are helpful stickers on the floor marking out the best selfie spots .) But there’s a price to modernity: it’s phasing out one of its beloved institutions, the escalator attendants. Often they are middle-aged or elderly women—“ escalator grandmas ” in news accounts—who have held the post for decades, sitting in their tiny kiosks, scolding commuters for bad escalator etiquette or even bad posture, or telling jokes . They are slated to be replaced, when at all, by members of the escalator maintenance staff.

For all its achievements, the Metro lags behind Moscow’s above-ground growth, as Russia’s capital sprawls ever outwards, generating some of the world’s worst traffic jams . But since 2011, the Metro has been in the middle of an ambitious and long-overdue enlargement; 60 new stations are opening by 2020. If all goes to plan, the 2011-2020 period will have brought 125 miles of new tracks and over 100 new stations — a 40 percent increase — the fastest and largest expansion phase in any period in the Metro’s history.

Facts: 14 lines Opening hours: 5 a.m-1 a.m. Rush hour(s): 8-10 a.m, 4-8 p.m. Single ride: 55₽ (about 85 cents) Wi-Fi network-wide

Buying Tickets

Ticket machines have a button to switch to English.
You can buy specific numbers of rides: 1, 2, 5, 11, 20, or 60. Hold up fingers to show how many rides you want to buy.
There is also a 90-minute ticket , which gets you 1 trip on the metro plus an unlimited number of transfers on other transport (bus, tram, etc) within 90 minutes.
Or, you can buy day tickets with unlimited rides: one day (218₽/ US$4), three days (415₽/US$7) or seven days (830₽/US$15). Check the rates here to stay up-to-date.
If you’re going to be using the Metro regularly over a few days, it’s worth getting a Troika card , a contactless, refillable card you can use on all public transport. Using the Metro is cheaper with one of these: a single ride is 36₽, not 55₽. Buy them and refill them in the Metro stations, and they’re valid for 5 years, so you can keep it for next time. Or, if you have a lot of cash left on it when you leave, you can get it refunded at the Metro Service Centers at Ulitsa 1905 Goda, 25 or at Staraya Basmannaya 20, Building 1.
You can also buy silicone bracelets and keychains with built-in transport chips that you can use as a Troika card. (A Moscow Metro Fitbit!) So far, you can only get these at the Pushkinskaya metro station Live Helpdesk and souvenir shops in the Mayakovskaya and Trubnaya metro stations. The fare is the same as for the Troika card.
You can also use Apple Pay and Samsung Pay.

Rules, spoken and unspoken

No smoking, no drinking, no filming, no littering. Photography is allowed, although it used to be banned.

Stand to the right on the escalator. Break this rule and you risk the wrath of the legendary escalator attendants. (No shenanigans on the escalators in general.)

Get out of the way. Find an empty corner to hide in when you get off a train and need to stare at your phone. Watch out getting out of the train in general; when your train doors open, people tend to appear from nowhere or from behind ornate marble columns, walking full-speed.

Always offer your seat to elderly ladies (what are you, a monster?).

An Easy Tour

This is no Metro Marathon ( 199 stations in 20 hours ). It’s an easy tour, taking in most—though not all—of the notable stations, the bulk of it going clockwise along the Circle line, with a couple of short detours. These stations are within minutes of one another, and the whole tour should take about 1-2 hours.

Start at Mayakovskaya Metro station , at the corner of Tverskaya and Garden Ring, Triumfalnaya Square, Moskva, Russia, 125047.

1. Mayakovskaya. Named for Russian Futurist Movement poet Vladimir Mayakovsky and an attempt to bring to life the future he imagined in his poems. (The Futurist Movement, natch, was all about a rejecting the past and celebrating all things speed, industry, modern machines, youth, modernity.) The result: an Art Deco masterpiece that won the National Grand Prix for architecture at the New York World’s Fair in 1939. It’s all smooth, rounded shine and light, and gentle arches supported by columns of dark pink marble and stainless aircraft steel. Each of its 34 ceiling niches has a mosaic. During World War II, the station was used as an air-raid shelter and, at one point, a bunker for Stalin. He gave a subdued but rousing speech here in Nov. 6, 1941 as the Nazis bombed the city above.

Take the 3/Green line one station to:

2. Belorusskaya. Opened in 1952, named after the connected Belarussky Rail Terminal, which runs trains between Moscow and Belarus. This is a light marble affair with a white, cake-like ceiling, lined with Belorussian patterns and 12 Florentine ceiling mosaics depicting life in Belarussia when it was built.

Transfer onto the 1/Brown line. Then, one stop (clockwise) t o:

3. Novoslobodskaya. This station was designed around the stained-glass panels, which were made in Latvia, because Alexey Dushkin, the Soviet starchitect who dreamed it up (and also designed Mayakovskaya station) couldn’t find the glass and craft locally. The stained glass is the same used for Riga’s Cathedral, and the panels feature plants, flowers, members of the Soviet intelligentsia (musician, artist, architect) and geometric shapes.

Go two stops east on the 1/Circle line to:

4. Komsomolskaya. Named after the Komsomol, or the Young Communist League, this might just be peak Stalin Metro style. Underneath the hub for three regional railways, it was intended to be a grand gateway to Moscow and is today its busiest station. It has chandeliers; a yellow ceiling with Baroque embellishments; and in the main hall, a colossal red star overlaid on golden, shimmering tiles. Designer Alexey Shchusev designed it as an homage to the speech Stalin gave at Red Square on Nov. 7, 1941, in which he invoked Russia’s illustrious military leaders as a pep talk to Soviet soldiers through the first catastrophic year of the war. The station’s eight large mosaics are of the leaders referenced in the speech, such as Alexander Nevsky, a 13th-century prince and military commander who bested German and Swedish invading armies.

One more stop clockwise to Kurskaya station, and change onto the 3/Blue line, and go one stop to:

5. Baumanskaya. Opened in 1944. Named for the Bolshevik Revolutionary Nikolai Bauman , whose monument and namesake district are aboveground here. Though he seemed like a nasty piece of work (he apparently once publicly mocked a woman he had impregnated, who later hung herself), he became a Revolutionary martyr when he was killed in 1905 in a skirmish with a monarchist, who hit him on the head with part of a steel pipe. The station is in Art Deco style with atmospherically dim lighting, and a series of bronze sculptures of soldiers and homefront heroes during the War. At one end, there is a large mosaic portrait of Lenin.

Stay on that train direction one more east to:

6. Elektrozavodskaya. As you may have guessed from the name, this station is the Metro’s tribute to all thing electrical, built in 1944 and named after a nearby lightbulb factory. It has marble bas-relief sculptures of important figures in electrical engineering, and others illustrating the Soviet Union’s war-time struggles at home. The ceiling’s recurring rows of circular lamps give the station’s main tunnel a comforting glow, and a pleasing visual effect.

Double back two stops to Kurskaya station , and change back to the 1/Circle line. Sit tight for six stations to:

7. Kiyevskaya. This was the last station on the Circle line to be built, in 1954, completed under Nikita Khrushchev’ s guidance, as a tribute to his homeland, Ukraine. Its three large station halls feature images celebrating Ukraine’s contributions to the Soviet Union and Russo-Ukrainian unity, depicting musicians, textile-working, soldiers, farmers. (One hall has frescoes, one mosaics, and the third murals.) Shortly after it was completed, Khrushchev condemned the architectural excesses and unnecessary luxury of the Stalin era, which ushered in an epoch of more austere Metro stations. According to the legend at least, he timed the policy in part to ensure no Metro station built after could outshine Kiyevskaya.

Change to the 3/Blue line and go one stop west.

8. Park Pobedy. This is the deepest station on the Metro, with one of the world’s longest escalators, at 413 feet. If you stand still, the escalator ride to the surface takes about three minutes .) Opened in 2003 at Victory Park, the station celebrates two of Russia’s great military victories. Each end has a mural by Georgian artist Zurab Tsereteli, who also designed the “ Good Defeats Evil ” statue at the UN headquarters in New York. One mural depicts the Russian generals’ victory over the French in 1812 and the other, the German surrender of 1945. The latter is particularly striking; equal parts dramatic, triumphant, and gruesome. To the side, Red Army soldiers trample Nazi flags, and if you look closely there’s some blood spatter among the detail. Still, the biggest impressions here are the marble shine of the chessboard floor pattern and the pleasingly geometric effect if you view from one end to the other.

Keep going one more stop west to:

9. Slavyansky Bulvar. One of the Metro’s youngest stations, it opened in 2008. With far higher ceilings than many other stations—which tend to have covered central tunnels on the platforms—it has an “open-air” feel (or as close to it as you can get, one hundred feet under). It’s an homage to French architect Hector Guimard, he of the Art Nouveau entrances for the Paris M é tro, and that’s precisely what this looks like: A Moscow homage to the Paris M é tro, with an additional forest theme. A Cyrillic twist on Guimard’s Metro-style lettering over the benches, furnished with t rees and branch motifs, including creeping vines as towering lamp-posts.

Stay on the 3/Blue line and double back four stations to:

10. Arbatskaya. Its first iteration, Arbatskaya-Smolenskaya station, was damaged by German bombs in 1941. It was rebuilt in 1953, and designed to double as a bomb shelter in the event of nuclear war, although unusually for stations built in the post-war phase, this one doesn’t have a war theme. It may also be one of the system’s most elegant: Baroque, but toned down a little, with red marble floors and white ceilings with gilded bronze c handeliers.

Jump back on the 3/Blue line in the same direction and take it one more stop:

11. Ploshchad Revolyutsii (Revolution Square). Opened in 1938, and serving Red Square and the Kremlin . Its renowned central hall has marble columns flanked by 76 bronze statues of Soviet heroes: soldiers, students, farmers, athletes, writers, parents. Some of these statues’ appendages have a yellow sheen from decades of Moscow’s commuters rubbing them for good luck. Among the most popular for a superstitious walk-by rub: the snout of a frontier guard’s dog, a soldier’s gun (where the touch of millions of human hands have tapered the gun barrel into a fine, pointy blade), a baby’s foot, and a woman’s knee. (A brass rooster also sports the telltale gold sheen, though I am told that rubbing the rooster is thought to bring bad luck. )

Now take the escalator up, and get some fresh air.

21 Things to Know Before You Go to Moscow

Travel Itinerary For One Week in Moscow: The Best of Moscow!

I just got back from one week in Moscow. And, as you might have already guessed, it was a mind-boggling experience. It was not my first trip to the Russian capital. But I hardly ever got enough time to explore this sprawling city. Visiting places for business rarely leaves enough time for sightseeing. I think that if you’ve got one week in Russia, you can also consider splitting your time between its largest cities (i.e. Saint Petersburg ) to get the most out of your trip. Seven days will let you see the majority of the main sights and go beyond just scratching the surface. In this post, I’m going to share with you my idea of the perfect travel itinerary for one week in Moscow.

Moscow is perhaps both the business and cultural hub of Russia. There is a lot more to see here than just the Kremlin and Saint Basil’s Cathedral. Centuries-old churches with onion-shaped domes dotted around the city are in stark contrast with newly completed impressive skyscrapers of Moscow City dominating the skyline. I spent a lot of time thinking about my Moscow itinerary before I left. And this city lived up to all of my expectations.

Travel Itinerary For One Week in Moscow

Day 1 – red square and the kremlin.

Metro Station: Okhotny Ryad on Red Line.

No trip to Moscow would be complete without seeing its main attraction. The Red Square is just a stone’s throw away from several metro stations. It is home to some of the most impressive architectural masterpieces in the city. The first thing you’ll probably notice after entering it and passing vendors selling weird fur hats is the fairytale-like looking Saint Basil’s Cathedral. It was built to commemorate one of the major victories of Ivan the Terrible. I once spent 20 minutes gazing at it, trying to find the perfect angle to snap it. It was easier said than done because of the hordes of locals and tourists.

As you continue strolling around Red Square, there’s no way you can miss Gum. It was widely known as the main department store during the Soviet Era. Now this large (yet historic) shopping mall is filled with expensive boutiques, pricey eateries, etc. During my trip to Moscow, I was on a tight budget. So I only took a retro-style stroll in Gum to get a rare glimpse of a place where Soviet leaders used to grocery shop and buy their stuff. In case you want some modern shopping experience, head to the Okhotny Ryad Shopping Center with stores like New Yorker, Zara, and Adidas.

Day 2 – Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the Tretyakov Gallery, and the Arbat Street

Metro Station: Kropotkinskaya on Red Line

As soon as you start creating a Moscow itinerary for your second day, you’ll discover that there are plenty of metro stations that are much closer to certain sites. Depending on your route, take a closer look at the metro map to pick the closest.

The white marble walls of Christ the Saviour Cathedral are awe-inspiring. As you approach this tallest Orthodox Christian church, you may notice the bronze sculptures, magnificent arches, and cupolas that were created to commemorate Russia’s victory against Napoleon.

How to Get a Decent Haircut in a Foreign Country

Unfortunately, the current Cathedral is a replica, since original was blown to bits in 1931 by the Soviet government. The new cathedral basically follows the original design, but they have added some new elements such as marble high reliefs.

Home to some precious collection of artworks, in Tretyakov Gallery you can find more than 150,000 of works spanning centuries of artistic endeavor. Originally a privately owned gallery, it now has become one of the largest museums in Russia. The Gallery is often considered essential to visit. But I have encountered a lot of locals who have never been there.

Famous for its souvenirs, musicians, and theaters, Arbat street is among the few in Moscow that were turned into pedestrian zones. Arbat street is usually very busy with tourists and locals alike. My local friend once called it the oldest street in Moscow dating back to 1493. It is a kilometer long walking street filled with fancy gift shops, small cozy restaurants, lots of cute cafes, and street artists. It is closed to any vehicular traffic, so you can easily stroll it with kids.

Day 3 – Moscow River Boat Ride, Poklonnaya Hill Victory Park, the Moscow City

Metro Station: Kievskaya and Park Pobedy on Dark Blue Line / Vystavochnaya on Light Blue Line

Voyaging along the Moscow River is definitely one of the best ways to catch a glimpse of the city and see the attractions from a bit different perspective. Depending on your Moscow itinerary, travel budget and the time of the year, there are various types of boats available. In the summer there is no shortage of boats, and you’ll be spoiled for choice.

Travel Itinerary for One Week in Beijing

If you find yourself in Moscow during the winter months, I’d recommend going with Radisson boat cruise. These are often more expensive (yet comfy). They offer refreshments like tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and, of course, alcoholic drinks. Prices may vary but mostly depend on your food and drink selection. Find their main pier near the opulent Ukraine hotel . The hotel is one of the “Seven Sisters”, so if you’re into the charm of Stalinist architecture don’t miss a chance to stay there.

The area near Poklonnaya Hill has the closest relation to the country’s recent past. The memorial complex was completed in the mid-1990s to commemorate the Victory and WW2 casualties. Also known as the Great Patriotic War Museum, activities here include indoor attractions while the grounds around host an open-air museum with old tanks and other vehicles used on the battlefield.

How I Planned My Trip to Vietnam

The hallmark of the memorial complex and the first thing you see as you exit metro is the statue of Nike mounted to its column. This is a very impressive Obelisk with a statue of Saint George slaying the dragon at its base.

Maybe not as impressive as Shanghai’s Oriental Pearl Tower , the skyscrapers of the Moscow City (otherwise known as Moscow International Business Center) are so drastically different from dull Soviet architecture. With 239 meters and 60 floors, the Empire Tower is the seventh highest building in the business district.

The observation deck occupies 56 floor from where you have some panoramic views of the city. I loved the view in the direction of Moscow State University and Luzhniki stadium as well to the other side with residential quarters. The entrance fee is pricey, but if you’re want to get a bird’s eye view, the skyscraper is one of the best places for doing just that.

Day 4 – VDNKh, Worker and Collective Farm Woman Monument, The Ostankino TV Tower

Metro Station: VDNKh on Orange Line

VDNKh is one of my favorite attractions in Moscow. The weird abbreviation actually stands for Russian vystavka dostizheniy narodnogo khozyaystva (Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy). With more than 200 buildings and 30 pavilions on the grounds, VDNKh serves as an open-air museum. You can easily spend a full day here since the park occupies a very large area.

Places to Visit in Barcelona That Aren’t Beaches

First, there are pavilions that used to showcase different cultures the USSR was made of. Additionally, there is a number of shopping pavilions, as well as Moskvarium (an Oceanarium) that features a variety of marine species. VDNKh is a popular venue for events and fairs. There is always something going on, so I’d recommend checking their website if you want to see some particular exhibition.

A stone’s throw away from VDNKh there is a very distinctive 25-meters high monument. Originally built in 1937 for the world fair in Paris, the hulking figures of men and women holding a hammer and a sickle represent the Soviet idea of united workers and farmers. It doesn’t take much time to see the monument, but visiting it gives some idea of the Soviet Union’s grandiose aspirations.

I have a thing for tall buildings. So to continue my travel itinerary for one week in Moscow I decided to climb the fourth highest TV tower in the world. This iconic 540m tower is a fixture of the skyline. You can see it virtually from everywhere in Moscow, and this is where you can get the best panoramic views (yep, even better than Empire skyscraper).

Parts of the floor are made of tempered glass, so it can be quite scary to exit the elevator. But trust me, as you start observing buildings and cars below, you won’t want to leave. There is only a limited number of tickets per day, so you may want to book online. Insider tip: the first tour is cheaper, you can save up to $10 if go there early.

Day 5 – A Tour To Moscow Manor Houses

Metro Station: Kolomenskoye, Tsaritsyno on Dark Green Line / Kuskovo on Purple Line

I love visiting the manor houses and palaces in Moscow. These opulent buildings were generally built to house Russian aristocratic families and monarchs. Houses tend to be rather grand affairs with impressive architecture. And, depending on the whims of the owners, some form of a landscaped garden.

During the early part of the 20th century though, many of Russia’s aristocratic families (including the family of the last emperor) ended up being killed or moving abroad . Their manor houses were nationalized. Some time later (after the fall of the USSR) these were open to the public. It means that today a great many of Moscow’s finest manor houses and palaces are open for touring.

20 Travel Tips I’ve Learned From Travelling The World

There are 20 manor houses scattered throughout the city and more than 25 in the area around. But not all of them easily accessible and exploring them often takes a lot of time. I’d recommend focusing on three most popular estates in Moscow that are some 30-minute metro ride away from Kremlin.

Sandwiched between the Moscow River and the Andropov Avenue, Kolomenskoye is a UNESCO site that became a public park in the 1920’s. Once a former royal estate, now it is one of the most tranquil parks in the city with gorgeous views. The Ascension Church, The White Column, and the grounds are a truly grand place to visit.

You could easily spend a full day here, exploring a traditional Russian village (that is, in fact, a market), picnicking by the river, enjoying the Eastern Orthodox church architecture, hiking the grounds as well as and wandering the park and gardens with wildflower meadows, apple orchards, and birch and maple groves. The estate museum showcases Russian nature at its finest year-round.

12 Stunning National Parks and Regional Parks In France

If my travel itinerary for one week in Moscow was a family tree, Tsaritsyno Park would probably be the crazy uncle that no-one talks about. It’s a large park in the south of the city of mind-boggling proportions, unbelievable in so many ways, and yet most travelers have never heard of it.

The palace was supposed to be a summer home for Empress Catherine the Great. But since the construction didn’t meet with her approval the palace was abandoned. Since the early 1990’s the palace, the pond, and the grounds have been undergoing renovations. The entire complex is now looking brighter and more elaborately decorated than at possibly any other time during its history. Like most parks in Moscow, you can visit Tsaritsyno free of charge, but there is a small fee if you want to visit the palace.

How To Stop Procrastinating When Trip Planning

Last, but by no means least on my Moscow itinerary is Kuskovo Park . This is definitely an off-the-beaten-path place. While it is not easily accessible, you will be rewarded with a lack of crowds. This 18th-century summer country house of the Sheremetev family was one of the first summer country estates of the Russian nobility. And when you visit you’ll quickly realize why locals love this park.

Like many other estates, Kuskovo has just been renovated. So there are lovely French formal garden, a grotto, and the Dutch house to explore. Make sure to plan your itinerary well because the estate is some way from a metro station.

Day 6 – Explore the Golden Ring

Creating the Moscow itinerary may keep you busy for days with the seemingly endless amount of things to do. Visiting the so-called Golden Ring is like stepping back in time. Golden Ring is a “theme route” devised by promotion-minded journalist and writer Yuri Bychkov.

Having started in Moscow the route will take you through a number of historical cities. It now includes Suzdal, Vladimir, Kostroma, Yaroslavl and Sergiev Posad. All these awe-inspiring towns have their own smaller kremlins and feature dramatic churches with onion-shaped domes, tranquil residential areas, and other architectural landmarks.

Two Weeks In Thailand: The Perfect 14-Day Itinerary

I only visited two out of eight cities included on the route. It is a no-brainer that Sergiev Posad is the nearest and the easiest city to see on a day trip from Moscow. That being said, you can explore its main attractions in just one day. Located some 70 km north-east of the Russian capital, this tiny and overlooked town is home to Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, UNESCO Site.

Sergiev Posad is often described as being at the heart of Russian spiritual life. So it is uncommon to see the crowds of Russian pilgrims showing a deep reverence for their religion. If you’re traveling independently and using public transport, you can reach Sergiev Posad by bus (departs from VDNKh) or by suburban commuter train from Yaroslavskaya Railway Station (Bahnhof). It takes about one and a half hours to reach the town.

Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius is a great place to get a glimpse of filling and warming Russian lunch, specifically at the “ Gostevaya Izba ” restaurant. Try the duck breast, hearty potato and vegetables, and the awesome Napoleon cake.

Day 7 – Gorky Park, Izmailovo Kremlin, Patriarch’s Ponds

Metro Station: Park Kultury or Oktyabrskaya on Circle Line / Partizanskaya on Dark Blue Line / Pushkinskaya on Dark Green Line

Gorky Park is in the heart of Moscow. It offers many different types of outdoor activities, such as dancing, cycling, skateboarding, walking, jogging, and anything else you can do in a park. Named after Maxim Gorky, this sprawling and lovely park is where locals go on a picnic, relax and enjoy free yoga classes. It’s a popular place to bike around, and there is a Muzeon Art Park not far from here. A dynamic location with a younger vibe. There is also a pier, so you can take a cruise along the river too.

How to Save Money While Traveling in Europe

The Kremlin in Izmailovo is by no means like the one you can find near the Red Square. Originally built for decorative purposes, it now features the Vernissage flea market and a number of frequent fairs, exhibitions, and conferences. Every weekend, there’s a giant flea market in Izmailovo, where dozens of stalls sell Soviet propaganda crap, Russian nesting dolls, vinyl records, jewelry and just about any object you can imagine. Go early in the morning if you want to beat the crowds.

All the Bulgakov’s fans should pay a visit to Patriarch’s Ponds (yup, that is plural). With a lovely small city park and the only one (!) pond in the middle, the location is where the opening scene of Bulgakov’s novel Master and Margarita was set. The novel is centered around a visit by Devil to the atheistic Soviet Union is considered by many critics to be one of the best novels of the 20th century. I spent great two hours strolling the nearby streets and having lunch in the hipster cafe.

Conclusion and Recommendations

To conclude, Moscow is a safe city to visit. I have never had a problem with getting around and most locals are really friendly once they know you’re a foreigner. Moscow has undergone some serious reconstruction over the last few years. So you can expect some places to be completely different. I hope my one week Moscow itinerary was helpful! If you have less time, say 4 days or 5 days, I would cut out day 6 and day 7. You could save the Golden Ring for a separate trip entirely as there’s lots to see!

What was their favourite thing about Russia?

Gladys Parker

I know very little about Moscow or Russia for the\at matter. I do know I would have to see the Red Square and all of its exquisite architectural masterpieces. Also the CATHEDRAL OF CHRIST THE SAVIOUR. Thanks for shedding some light on visiting Moscow.

Thanks for swinging by! The Red Square is a great starting point, but there way too many places and things to discover aside from it!

Ruthy @ Percolate Kitchen

You are making me so jealous!! I’ve always wanted to see Russia.

Moscow is in my bucket list, I don’t know when I can visit there, your post is really useful. As a culture rich place we need to spend at least week.

DANA GUTKOWSKI

Looks like you had a great trip! Thanks for all the great info! I’ve never been in to Russia, but this post makes me wanna go now!

Wow this is amazing! Moscow is on my bucket list – such an amazing place to visit I can imagine! I can’t wait to go there one day!

Perfect itinerary for spending a week in Moscow! So many places to visit and it looks like you had a wonderful time. I would love to climb that tower. The views I am sure must have been amazing!

I was lucky enough to see the skyline of Moscow from this TV Tower and it is definitely mind-blowing.

Chelsea Pearl

Moscow is definitely up there on my travel bucket list. So much history and iconic architecture!

Thumbs up! 🙂

Blair Villanueva

OMG I dream to visit Moscow someday! Hope the visa processing would be okay (and become more affordable) so I could pursue my dream trip!

Yup, visa processing is the major downside! Agree! Time and the money consuming process…
