Ajanta and Ellora Caves Essential Travel Guide

These Ancient Rock-Cut Caves are One of India's Top Historical Attractions

TripSavvy / Anna Haines

Astonishingly carved into hillside rock in the middle of nowhere are the Ajanta and Ellora caves. Both are an important UNESCO World Heritage site.

There are 34 caves at Ellora dating from between the 6th and 11th centuries AD, and 29 caves at Ajanta dating back to between the 2nd century BC and 6th century AD. The caves at Ajanta are all Buddhist, while the caves at Ellora are a mixture of Buddhist, Hindu and Jain. Funds for the construction of the caves were provided by various rulers.

The incredible Kailasa Temple (also known as the Kailasha Temple), which forms Cave 16 at Ellora, is undoubtedly the most famous attraction. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and his sacred abode at Mount Kailasha. Its immense size covers twice the area of the Parthenon in Athens, and is one and a half times as high! The life-size elephant sculptures are a highlight.

The most incomprehensible thing about the Ajanta and Ellora caves is that they were crafted by hand, with only a hammer and chisel. There are various cave complexes in India , but these are definitely the most spectacular.

Northern Maharashtra, around 400 kilometers (250 miles) from Mumbai.

Getting There

The closest railway stations are in Aurangabad for the Ellora caves (45 minutes away) and the industrial city of Jalgaon for the Ajanta caves (1.5 hours away). Travel time from Mumbai to Aurangabad by Indian Railways train is 6-7 hours. Here are the options.

There’s also an airport in Aurangabad, so it's possible to fly from many cities in India.

Using Aurangabad as a base, it’s most convenient to hire a taxi and drive between the two cave sites. It takes about three hours to get from Ellora to Ajanta.

Ashoka Tours and Travels , located on Station Road in Aurangabad, is popular and provides car hire to both Ellora and Ajanta. Depending on the type of car, rates start from 1,250 rupees for Ellora and 2,250 rupees for Ajanta.

Alternatively, Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation conducts inexpensive daily guided bus tours to the Ajanta and Ellora caves from Aurangabad. The buses are comfortable air-conditioned Volvo buses. The tours run separately—one goes to Ajanta and the other to Ellora—and can be booked in advance at the Central Bus Stand and CIDCO Bus Stand.

• The Ajanta bus tour departs from the Central Bus Stand at 7.30 a.m. and arrives back at 5.20 p.m. The cost is 711 rupees per person.
• The Ellora bus tour departs from the Central Bus Stand at 8.30 a.m and arrives back at 5.30 p.m. It includes Daultabad Fort, Bibi Ka Maqbara and Panchakki. The cost is 276 rupees per person.

Or, if you'd prefer to travel independently, you can easily take a public Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation bus from the Central Bus Stand in Aurangabad to Ellora (D0825) and Ajanta (D0647). It's worth considering, as you'll be able to get there before the tour buses do. The buses run frequently but they're not air-conditioned.

When to Visit

The best time to visit the caves is from November to March, when it's cooler and dry.

Opening Hours

The Ellora caves are open from sunrise until sunset (around 5:00 p.m.), daily except Wednesdays. The Ajanta caves open from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m., daily except Mondays. Both caves are open on national holidays. However, try to avoid visiting them then (as well as on weekends) as the crowds can be overwhelming and you won't have a peaceful experience.

Entrance Fees and Charges

Visiting both the Ajanta and Ellora caves is costly for foreigners. The sites require separate tickets and the price is 600 rupees per foreign visitor. Indians pay only 40 rupees per ticket at each site. Children younger than 15 years are free at both places.

Ajanta and Ellora Visitor Centers

The visitor centers provide information about the two heritage sites using audiovisual media.

The Ajanta Visitor Center is the larger of the two. It has five museum halls with replicas of the four main caves (1, 2,16 and 17). The Ellora Visitor Center has a replica of the Kailasa Temple. Both visitor centers also have restaurants, amphitheaters and auditoriums, shops, exhibition space, and parking.

Unfortunately, the visitor centers are located some distance away from the caves and the replicas have failed to draw the expected number of tourists. In August 2018, Maharashtra Tourism announced that substantial funding had been allocated to enhance them and provide a better experience.

Where to Stay

Hotel Kailas is located right opposite the Ellora caves. It's a relaxing, tranquil place with stone walls and a scenic landscape, albeit simply furnished accommodations. Rates are 2,300 rupees for a non air-conditioned room, 3,500 rupees for an air-conditioned cottage, and 4,000 rupees for an air-conditioned cottage facing the caves. Tax is additional. The hotel has plenty of amenities for guests including a restaurant, internet access, a library and games. You can also go paragliding.

Quality accommodations at Ajanta are limited so if you need to stay in the area, it's best to head to the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation's Ajanta T Junction Guest House (rooms from 1,600 rupees per night) or Ajanta Tourist Resort in nearby Fardapur (1,700 rupees per night).

If you prefer to stay in Aurangabad, Hotel Panchavati is a clean and comfortable budget option near the railway station and bus stand.

Should You Visit Ajanta or Ellora?

While the Ajanta caves have some of India's most sophisticated ancient paintings, the Ellora caves are renowned for their extraordinary architecture. Both the caves have sculptures.

Don't have time or money to visit both caves? Ellora receives about twice as many tourists as Ajanta, as it's more accessible. If your itinerary forces you to choose between the two sites, base you decision on whether you're more interested in the art at Ajanta, or architecture at Ellora. Also take into consideration the fact that Ajanta has an outstanding setting overlooking a gorge along the Waghora River, making it more enjoyable to explore.

Travel Tips

• You can get an excellent view and perspective of inside the Kailasa Temple at Ellora by climbing up the hill around it.
• When visiting Ajanta, ask your driver to drop you at the viewpoint and meet you at the car park. Walk downhill from the viewpoint and enter at cave eight. From there, walk right to the end and start at cave 28. This will enable you to see nearly half the caves without the crowds.
• Bring a torch with you to the caves as many of them are quite dark and lighting is poor.
• Try to reach the caves before 10 a.m. to beat the crowds and tour buses.

Dangers and Annoyances

Security was increased at the Ellora caves in 2013, following incidents of tourists being sexually harassed by groups of young Indian guys. This has been effective in improving safety. However, tourists still need to be aware of harassment from hawkers and touts that charge inflated prices.

Maintenance and cleanliness has improved at both the Ajanta and Ellora caves in recent years. The caves are now being looked after by a private company under the Indian government's "Adopt a Heritage Site" program.

A three-day Ellora-Ajanta International Festival is organized by Maharashtra Tourism each year. It features some of India's most distinguished musicians and and dancers.

• ViliuSanda 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Unforgettable experience for the years to come From the very first moment it was obvious to me that the day is going to be memorable for the years to come in my life. The tour with Mr. Amod Basole was a real experience; experience of something entirely new and at that time unknown. The knowledge shared by the tour guide accumulated with the knowledge already obtained in the past and it translated into not only in a physical, but a spiritual journey as well. Highly recommended for everyone who has a rooted interest in exploring beyond what the eyes can see and the ears can hear. Namaste! Read more Written July 30, 2023
• Ajinkya2480 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Ajanta Ellora - India's ancient civilization Friday Noon-Pune to Ajanta – Stay at MTDC Ajanta Saturday-Ajanta, Daultabad fort, Panchakki, Bibi ka Makbara, CH. Sambhaji Nagar city, Stay at Ginger, CH. Sambhaji Nagar Sunday- Grishneswar Jyotirlinga Temple, Ellora back to Pune. We started our journey from Pune around noon on Friday, it takes 8 hours to reach Ajanta. Road is good & travelled via samrudhi stretch of Shirdi-Aurangabad. We stayed at MTDC, Ajanta T junction, this hotel is next to Ajanta bus stand where you get buses to reach Ajanta caves (you can't take your vehicle at top). There are only 4 rooms to offer and we reached around 8.30 PM so bit lonely that time. But location is good & you only realized that in morning. There is no canteen but you can order food from another MTDC hotel & they will deliver to you. Next morning, we visited Ajanta caves, it takes 2-3 hrs to see all the caves & paintings. If you are interested in art it mesmerize you otherwise you get bored. 14 caves are open to public & 5 caves important to see. Once you get down, there is one cafe where you get nice lunch. Next we headed to Daultabad or Deogiri fort, 3 hr drive from Ajanta, this fort used to capital of Yadav dynasty, there is not much to see only one canon placed at top of fort. You have to climb 750 steps to see that but we did that & enjoy also. Then we headed toward CH. Sambhaji Nagar (Aurangabad) to see Panchakki &Bibi ka Makbar. It takes one hour to reach city from Daultabad. we felt panchakki is waste & if you have seen Taj Mahal which we did then Bibi ka Makbara is disappointed. After day's exertion we checked into Ginger Hotel, one can stay near Ellora, but you have limited options, city offers you lots of options. We want to enjoy biryani & pan so it nice to stay in city, we had dinner at Great Sagar. Restaurant is good & it serves biryani & dessert. We try pan at famous Tara pan center, it is nice experience. Ginger stay is comfortable. Next day we visited Grishneswar Jyotirlinga Temple, male needs to take off upper cloths to take darshan in mandap so make sure your attire is like that. This is one of Jyortilinga so you expect lot of crowds on weekends. Last destination is Ellora caves, it is just one km from temple. There are 34 caves to see but 4 caves are important. Good thing at Ellora is you have electric cart to see 3 important caves which far from main gate. The fourth cave no 16 which has Kailasa, the largest monolithic temple is at main gate. Normally it takes 2 hours to see Ellora. After 2-1/2 day we headed back to Pune, with lots of memories & pics. One can start journey on Saturday morning but it is quite exhausting if you drive your own & then walk to see caves & fort. Read more Written April 7, 2023

He adjusted the tour timings according to our schedule, which was quite convenient. The nature surroundings of the caves were very beautiful in the monsoon season.

• Lesya12 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Incredible Ajanta and Ellora tour This was a fantastic tour of Ajanta and Ellora! Mr Pankaj was a great tour guide who knew so much about the caves and region. I appreciated his deep knowledge and perspective, and the way he shared the caves' history through stories. I highly recommend booking with him! The first day we left Aurangabad early to beat the heat and crowds. It was great being at Ajanta with no crowds and to experience the acoustics and sereneness of the temple caves. Ellora was more crowded as it's closer to Aurangabad, but still stunning nonetheless. The communication with Travel Greed and Mr Pankaj was smooth and I felt well taken care of the entire trip. It was my first domestic trip in India and a great introduction to this wonderful country. If I come back, I'd love to see the caves and Ajanta valley after monsoons when the area is green and lush. If you go during Indian summer (April/May/June), pack a lot of water, sunscreen, and loose clothing! Read more Written June 15, 2022

• pranavk641 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Stop looking elsewhere! Travelgreed is the best partner... Although I'd been to Ajantha and Ellora before, this time with Travelgreed, i got to know what the place is really. Luckily due to covid restrictions there was not much crowd and that turned as a boon... Mr. Hrushi who is the main man of travelgreed was very polite and always available on phone for questions. Since we had a 6 yo with us, he planned the tour keeping that in mind. We got the contact number of our tour guide Mr. Pankaj, a day before which helped us with the nitty-gritty. We picked him up en-route so that we could have a chat with him on the way about the place. Pankaj is a very humble and knowledgeable person who bowled us over with his knowledge about Ajantha so much so that we couldn't wait to reach and start the tour. On reaching, after getting the tickets, we started the tour. Mr. Pankaj was very elaborate and more importantly keen to answer our questions. He did not rush us when we asked questions or felt like spending some more time at a particular cave. Although my wife is a heritage conservationist, she felt enlightened by the information Mr. Pankaj gave us about the place. You know you are with the right guide, when in a rarity he'd say "I'll get back to you on this as i am not an expert on this particular subject." And he did get back to us with answers. Unfortunately we are often used to tour guides who would talk like a recorded cassette looping information and if you cross question them or interrupt would lose their thing. Mr. Pankaj on the other hand not only was an encyclopedia on the place but knew names from the heritage or archeological circles within India which shows his outreach. He is MA (History) for the records. We enjoyed every bit of the guided tour as I believe, a place can come alive only when you have the perspective. And ours was Mr. Pankaj. When i speak so highly about the guide, you know the person who hires such a qualified person must be from a different place. He was kind to visit us at our hotel in Aurangabad after we finished the tour to check if all went well. We went by our own car, but I'm more than sure Hrushi can work out the logistics for you as also the hotel booking. Since he is from Aurangabad, he'd suggest you best hotels to stay according to your budget. In a nutshell, JUST CALL HIM when you plan your visit and let him take care of you. A BIG thumbs-up to team Travelgreed... Read more Written January 28, 2022

• Sukumar_905 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles A Memorable Experience Mr.Hrushi helped us to plan the Ajantha Ellora visits through remote calls and provided us valuable guidance. We did the Ajantha day tour. We were sufficiently warned that the road to Ajantha from Aurangabad was not good. The experience did exceed our expectations:-) It was worse, the road was really really bad despite the warning. The experience was breathtaking, the setting, the architectural brilliance and the art itself. The three dimensional frescoes were mind blowing considering the time frame. The guide (Mr.Madhu) was courtesous and knew the facts. While it was Ok for Indian audience the accent, English and story telling was difficult to follow for a Western audience.

The experience was good and did not disappoint. Mr Hrushi who owns the travel company was in touch through email and WhatsApp from the beginning. He sent us the name of the driver(Raju) who would pick us from the airport and take us around, a day before we landed in Aurangabad. The guide allocated to us for both the days(Mr Pankaj) was knowledge, patient and with good communication skills. We found that the tour was not rushed and there was plenty of opportunities to take essential breaks. A thoroughly enjoyable experience and would certainly recommend.

• Roadtripper2823 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Definitely worth a visit We throughly enjoyed our two day visit to Ajanta and Ellora. The carvings, paintings and frescoes are all magnificent and our guide, Mr Bankaj, was very knowledgeable. He did all possible to help us enjoy our trip, given the time constraints we had, due to our flight schedule. The road to Ajanta is under construction and takes some time and the site is closed on Monday, two important factors to consider when planning your trip. Regardless of the long travel time to get there, it was worth the visit. My only suggestion to TravelGreed is that they make it easier to communicate by WhatsApp, prior to our arrival, so that we can reconfirm our tour. Read more Written February 4, 2020

Yea the road to Ajanta is quite bad, but its worth the effort. Ellora is really nice to see, a little bit more crowd then Ajanta though. Mr. Pankaj is a good guide, know a lot of Ajanta. Mr. Siroj did his best to explain the site of Ellora. Communication with the head office went very well by email. If I had to do a suggestion for improvement, it would by communication by WhatsApp orso. Thats even more quick. To conclude: I would highly recommend these guys! Read more Written January 26, 2020

How to Visit Ajanta and Ellora [One Day Itinerary]

When we booked it this seemed like a good idea.  Taking a series of three overnight flights from Kathmandu to Delhi, then to Mumbai and from there to Aurangabad, so that we could spend the day visiting the UNESCO world heritage Ajanta and Ellora caves.  Remind me of this in the future.

We arrived at Aurangabad airport at 06:15.  We left Kathmandu at 14:00 yesterday and in the meantime have been to both Delhi and Mumbai airports  We spent most of the night outside check in at Mumbai Airport.  It was NOT a good way to get here.

However, don’t let that put you off coming to Ajanta and Ellora.

THIS POST MAY CONTAIN COMPENSATED AND AFFILIATE LINKS MORE INFORMATION IN  OUR DISCLAIMER

How to Visit Ajanta and Ellora in a Day

We pre-booked a car and driver using the TripAdvisor forum.  Mr Taqui Hussein picked us up from the airport, drove us to Ajanta, then Ellora, and finally dropped us outside the Railway Station in Aurangabad.  He was fabulous. We paid 3,500 INR for the full day, including any parking charges.   Our route took us to the Ajanta Caves for opening time, then back to Ellora and we were dropped off at the Aurangabad Railway Station at the end of the day.  Our total distance was 230 kilometers.

EASIEST WAY TO VISIT

Take a Private Tour to Ajanta & Ellora

We found the easiest way to see both Ajanta and Ellora in the same day was to take a private tour, and this is the best tour we’ve found to see Ellora and Ajanta caves and temples.

Visiting Ajanta & Ellora as a day trip

If you’d like to see Ajanta and Ellora – then you can take a day trip from Aurangabad – with a driver and English-speaking guide, plus an air-conditioned car. Check out the options here .

It always feels like we’re cheating when we arrange a car and driver, but this is only the second time we’ve done this in India, so I think we’re excused!   The reason for the overnight flight, and trying to see Ajanta and Ellora in one day is that our time frame has changed.  We need to be back in Bengalaru for an Indian wedding, so we have a GREAT reason to step things up!

How to Go from Aurangabad to Ajanta

It’s 100 kilometers, or around 2.5 hours from Aurangabad to Ajanta.  Aurangabad is the closest town that we could fly to.  We managed a quick stop for breakfast on the way before arriving at Ajanta at opening time.

You can head to Ajanta on a day trip from Aurangabad – and also take in Ellora – there are more details here.

What to See at The Ajanta Caves

Since 1983 the Ajanta Caves have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.   The Indian Archeological Society describes them as the “finest surviving examples of Indian art, particularly painting”.  The caves date from 400 BC and contain Buddhist religious art and Jataka depictions.  The Jataka are native to India and tell the stories of the previous lives of the Buddha.  There are about 30 caves cut into a cliff in a gorge above the river Waghur.

Ajanta was rediscovered by accident by a British hunting party in 1819.   It’s thought that the paintings are related to the gorgeous Sigiriya in Sri Lanka. You can read our guide about visiting Sigiriya here .

How to Access Ajanta Via Bus

Mr Hussein drops us in the car park, where we head to the buses.  It’s not exactly busy here, so while the sign might say that there are AC buses, there aren’t.  But there’s a breeze, so the open window works reasonably well.  The bus up to the bus park by the caves doesn’t take long.  And its not even worth considering walking to save the 15 INR that the bus costs, unless of course, you’re nuts in this heat.

Cost of Ajanta Caves Tickets

We buy a ticket here for 250 INR, the Foreign Tourist price.  There are guides available, pricing depends upon the size of your group, but we stick with the Indian Archeological Society notes we’ve downloaded.  From here it’s all walking.

Exploring The Ajanta Caves Site

The caves are located in the cliffs on a bend in the river.  It’s a horseshoe shaped gorge.  The site itself is lovely.  The paths are well maintained and the signage is great.  If there’s a large tour group anywhere near you, then stop and wait until they pass, it’s well worth the solitude.

Tips for Visiting Ajanta Caves

• Take water with you.  There is water available at the restaurant by the ticket office, but not once you leave there.
• The restaurant by the ticket office does a great thali for lunch and looked much cleaner than the places near the car park.
• Take a hat or an umbrella, outside the caves the sun is amazingly strong and reflects off the rocks.You will need to remove your shoes to visit some caves, so consider your footwear.  The paths are in good condition, but there are some steps/uneven areas and it’s a little slippery.
• Remember the Camera!  There are several viewpoints throughout the site – we didn’t make it to the high one because of the heat, but it didn’t detract from the fact that this is an incredible site and reasonably well preserved.

Ajanta Cave One

This (and cave two) are the most beautifully painted caves here.  There are fragments of the paintings left and they are quite stunning.  Try and visit when they’re empty of people.  You can take photographs but there is no flash photography.

Ajanta Cave Two

Be sure to look up when you walk around this cave.  The ceiling paintings are just spectacular.   It is incredible to see the brightness of the colours and consider their age.

As you walk around the gorge, it really is a simply stunning spectacle.  You’ll stop each time you come out of a cave, slip your shoes back on, and just, well, look.

The paintings are simply gorgeous, the caves are incredible and this is well worth a visit, but we must move on.  We have a quick thali and a cold drink at the restaurant by the ticket office and then head back on the bus to the car park.

How to Go from Ajanta to Ellora

It takes nearly two hours to drive to Ellora, its back in the direction of Aurangabad, so we’ll be close to our final destination for the day when we’re finished.

How to Visit the Ellora Caves and Temples

We arrived at the Ellora Caves area by 14:00.  It was pretty hot and pretty busy too, so we took the advice of Mr Hussein to focus our time here.    Ellora is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and combines Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain temples and caves. There are 17 Hindu caves, 12 are Buddhist and 5 are Jain.  They’re all in amazingly close proximity and were carved and built between the 5 th and 10 th centuries.

We headed to the biggest cave first.  This is Cave 16.

The Kailasa Temple, Ellora

The Kailasa Temple, or Cave 16, is dedicated to Shiva. It looks more like a multi-storey temple complex but was actually carved out of a single piece of rock.  This area is twice the size of the Greek Parthenon in Athens.  It is VAST.

The Dashavatara, Ellora

This is also known as Cave 15.  These caves are so very different from Ajanta.  They’re much bigger for a start.  The ones that we visit have multiple storeys to them and, while this cave was started as a Buddhist monastery, this is now a Hindu cave.

We managed to visit several of Buddhist and Jain caves too.

The carving here is spectacular, and the sheer size is amazing.   The crowds lessen as we move to the smaller temples, but it’s so very hot and we spent the night outside an airport.  The cool relief of the caves is marvelous.  If you make it here, be sure to go to the smaller caves, get away from the crowds, and walk through the seeming maze of different routes.

How to Go from Ellora to Aurangabad

At the end of the day, Mr Hussein dropped us off at the Hotel Preetam in Aurangabad.  We selected this place because, if you were any closer to the train station you’d be sleeping on the tracks.  We have a 06:00 train tomorrow, to Nashik, where we’re going Wine Tasting India style.

Wow Sarah your travels sound amazing! I love watching the Amazing Race here in the U.S. but don’t always want to go everywhere they are. I doubt I will ever get into the areas of India you traveled but truly enjoy reading and seeing your photos! Travel on!

Thanks so much! Sometimes I think we should change our tagline to be “we go there, so you don’t have to” 😉 India is well worth the trip, but she’s a hard country to travel in as a western woman.

The sprawling, mind-boggling metropolis of Russian Moscow has long been one of the theatrical stages on which the great dramas of Europe and Asia have been played out in grand style. Burned by Napoleon in 1812, immortalised by Tolstoy, utilised by the Bolsheviks and championed as a bastion of heroic defiance by the post-war communists, it’s almost hard to believe just how defining the historical events that found their home on Moscow’s streets have been. Moscow tour guides will easily be able to mark the major must-see landmarks on the map, from the onion-domed orthodox Saint Basil's Cathedral, to the political powerhouse of Red Square just next door, while others will be quick to recommend a ride on Moscow’s famous subterranean metro system, or a visit to the UNESCO-attested Novodevichy Convent on the city’s southern side. But Moscow is a city also in the throes of a cultural wrangling between the old and the new. Creative energies abound here: Boho bars and pumping super clubs now occupy the iconic mega structures of the old USSR; high-fashion outlets, trendy shopping malls and luxurious residential districts stand as testimony to a city that’s now the undisputed playground of the world’s super-rich, while sprawling modern art museums dominate the cultural offering of the downtown districts north of the Moskva River.

Vodka Museum Tour with transport (excursion only)

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you. For more information, read our guide about staying safe in Russia .
