Zakynthos egyik legnépszerűbb üdülőhelye, a hosszú homokos strandnak, a sekély víznek, valamint a tavernák és bárok széles választékának köszönhetően. Naponta közlekednek buszok Zakynthos városába.

A területről

Ez az ajánlat utazási csomagként értékesíthető.

A programokra való jelentkezés és a befizetés euróban, a helyszínen történik megfelelő létszám esetén. A kirándulások díjai településenként változók, mivel az ár a transzfert is tartalmazza. További programokról, gyermek kedvezményről és korhatárokról érdeklődjön a helyszínen!

Szigettúra busszal  Egész napos kirándulás. Az utunk először Bochaliba vezet, ahol megtekintjük a falucska velencei várromjait, ami népszerű kirándulóhely a helyiek körében is. A hegyekbe felfelé meglátogatunk egy olívaolaj gyárat, és betekintünk a gyártási folyamatba. Utunk romantikus kis falvakon át vezet, és Kampiban megállunk nézelődni a látványos sziklaszirtnél, mely a Jón-tenger fölé nyúlik. Érintjük Maries falut, ahol a legenda szerint Mária Magdolna megszállt a Rómába vezető útja során. Megtekintjük Anafonitria kolostorát, melyet a sziget védőszentjének szenteltek. Ezután észak felé utazunk, és lehetőség lesz hajóra szállni és meglátogatni a sziget híres Kék Barlangjait. A barlangok falait a kék mindenféle árnyalatára festi a vízről tükröződő fény, és a tenger fenekét mintha drágakövekkel rakták volna ki. (Külön, a helyszínen fizetendő program, a részvételi díj nem tartalmazza). Aki nem szeretne hajóra szállni, az pihenhet és fürdőzhet a parton. Ebédszünet után észak-kelet felé vesszük az irányt, és megtekintjük Katastari lélegzetelállító kilátását. Programunk zárásául egy pincészetbe látogatunk, ahol helyi borokat lehet kóstolni és vásárolni. Érkezés a hotelbe a késő délutáni, kora esti órákban.

Kérjük, vegyék figyelembe, hogy a megállók sorrendje az időjárási viszonyok miatt változhat, illetve a részvételi díj nem tartalmazza a hajókázást és a fakultatív ebédet. A kirándulásra érdemes kényelmes cipőben jönni, valamint a kolostorba csak fedett vállal és hosszú ruhában lehet belépni.  

Teknősles a Marathonissi szigeten A szálládból transzferbusszal indulunk Agios Sostis kikötőjébe, ahol hajóra szállunk. Itt kezdődik el a körülbelül 3 órás programunk. Kihajózást követően a Keri barlangok felé vesszük az irányt, ahol fantasztikus fotók készülhetnek. Innen Marathonissi felé hajózunk, amit gyakran Teknős szigetnek is hívnak, ugyanis ezen a szigeten található a védett álcserepesteknős egyik fészkelőhelye. A lakatlan sziget körül úszhatunk a tiszta kék vízben. Fürdés után hajónk a sziget körül keringve ad lehetőséget a tengeri teknősök megfigyelésére. Ezen izgalmak után visszatérünk a kikötőbe, ahol már buszok várnak minket, hogy visszavigyenek a szállodába.  Felhívjuk kedves utasaink figyelmét, hogy nem tudjuk száz százalékosan garantálni, hogy látni fognak teknősöket. A program nem tartalmaz étkezést és italokat.

Kefalonia A reggeli órákban transzfer a hotelből a kikötőbe, ahonnan először Szent Gerasszimosz kolostorába látogatunk, aki arról volt híres, hogy meg tudta gyógyítani a mentális betegségekben szenvedőket. A kolostor Kefalonia egyik legszentebb zarándokhelyének számít, és az impozáns Ainos-hegy alatt található. Ezután a lenyűgöző cseppkőbarlanghoz, a Drogarati-barlanghoz vezet utunk. A tudósok szerint a barlang körülbelül 150 millió éves. Az 1953-as földrengés során egy természetes erkély alakult ki, ami egy teremre néz, ahol a koncerteket tartanak. Csónakkal felfedezzük a Melissani tavat és barlangot. Ebédszünetet tartunk Aghia Efimia városában, melyet a szigetet letaroló földrengés után francia segítséggel építettek újjá. Délután a Myrtos-öblöt vesszük célba, és fotózkodás után tovább indulunk a sziget fővárosába, Argostoliba, ahol egyénileg felfedezheti a környéket. Érkezés a hotelbe az esti órákban.

Zakynthosi est Egyik legkedveltebb programjaink közé tartozik. Este 8 óra körül érkezünk a helyszínre, ahova belépve azonnal átjár minket az igazi görög életérzés. Miután helyet foglaltunk, helyi tradicionális ételeket kezdenek felszolgálni számunkra. A felnőttek görög borokat, míg a gyerekek gyümölcslét iszogathatnak a finom ételeik mellé. Vacsora közben helyi zenével és tánccal szórakoztatnak minket, ne lepődjenek meg, ha esetlegesen Önt is felkérik táncolni. Este 11 óra körül nagy mosollyal az arcunkon és teli hassal indulunk vissza a szállásra.

Hajótúra Zakynthos szigete körül Indulás a reggeli órákban transzferrel, a sziget fővárosának kikötőjében sétahajóra ülünk és elindulunk észak felé. Utunk során számos üdülőhely mellett haladunk el, míg Skinari világítótornyához, majd a híres Kék Barlangokhoz érkezünk, mely a víz színéről kapta a nevét. Tovább haladunk a híres Hajóroncs-öböl felé, mely csak hajóval közelíthető meg. Itt található a Panayiotis hajó roncsa található, és lehetőség van fürdőzni. Szeretnénk felhívni a kedves figyelmét, hogy a strand aprókavicsos és a kikötés időjárás függvénye. A délután folyamán a kapitány még több megállót is beiktat, mielőtt visszaérkezünk a kikötőbe a késő délutáni órák folyamán.

Here is a quick look at the seasons so you can decide when to visit Moscow!

The summer months (June-August) are a great time to travel to Moscow to take advantage of the enjoyable mild temperatures. This is considered peak travel season. Bear in mind that hotel prices rise along with the temperatures!

when to visit moscow

If you’re planning a trip to Moscow during fall (September-November) try to plan for early fall. This way the temperatures will still be pleasant and winter won’t be threatening.

Russian winters (December-February) are not for the faint of heart as Napoleon learned to his peril. Some days the sun will be out for less than an hour, and snow is guaranteed. Although winters are exceptionally cold, this is when you’ll get a true glimpse of the Moscow experience!

The best time to visit Moscow is during spring  (March-May). The temperatures will begin to creep up and the sun begins to shine for significant portions of the day. Hotel rates will also have yet to skyrocket into peak ranges!

Whether you’re spending one day in Moscow, or more, safety is an important thing to keep in mind when traveling to a big city! Overall, Moscow is a very safe place to visit. However, it is always recommended that tourists take certain precautions when traveling to a new destination!

The police in Moscow is extremely effective at making the city a safe place to visit and do their best to patrol all of the top Moscow, Russia tourist attractions. However, tourists can still be a target for pickpockets and scammers.

Moscow has a huge flow of tourists, therefore there is a risk for pickpocketing. Simple precautions will help eliminate your chances of being robbed. Stay vigilant, keep your items close to you at all times, and don’t flash your valuables!

If you’re planning a solo Moscow itinerary, you should have no need to worry, as the city is also considered safe for solo travelers, even women. Stay in the populated areas, try and not travel alone late at night, and never accept rides from strangers or taxis without a meter and correct signage.

The threat of natural disasters in Moscow is low, with the exception of severe winters when the temperature can dip below freezing! Bring a good, warm jacket if you visit in Winter.

However, please note that Russian views on homsexuality are far less accepting than those in Western Europe. Likewise, Non-Caucasian travellers may sadly encounter racism in Russia .

Don’t Forget Your Travel Insurance for Moscow

ALWAYS sort out your backpacker insurance before your trip. There’s plenty to choose from in that department, but a good place to start is Safety Wing .

They offer month-to-month payments, no lock-in contracts, and require absolutely no itineraries: that’s the exact kind of insurance long-term travellers and digital nomads need.

The Present Perspective

Moscow Travel Guide: Best Things to Do + More [2023]

· everything to know about visiting moscow, including the best things to do and how to get around. ·.

the red st basils church in moscow on a white winters day

Moscow is Russia’s vibrant capital city, and it also happens to be the largest city in all of Europe. The city’s long and infamous history makes it one of the most unique places we have ever visited.

The architecture ranges from centuries-old palaces to uniform, gray concrete buildings. The people range from cold and private to warm and welcoming. Moscow is a city is strong juxtapositions, and we learned a lot during our time there.

This post will break down all you need to know about visiting Moscow, including the best things to do, how to get there, how to get around, and more.

The Best Things to Do in Moscow

1. explore the red square.

The Red Square is the heart of Moscow. Most of the city’s top attractions can be found here, including just about everything on this list. The Kremlin, St. Basil’s Cathedral, and Lenin’s Mausoleum are all located here, and the State Historical Museum and GUM are not far from here, either.

The Red Square is a common home for parades, protests, and seasonal celebrations. There are massive Christmas celebrations here, with food vendors and carnival rides set up in numbers.

2. Check Out the Ziferblat

The Ziferblat is a café in Moscow that is unlike any café we have ever been to. While most cafes charge you for your drinks and food, the Ziferblat charges you for your time.

Upon arrival, you are given a clock. When you leave, the barista calculates how much time you spent in the café and charges you accordingly. This concept was created to help visitors to be more intentional with their time, and the cafe itself is incredibly charming.

For a detailed look at everything you need to know before you visit, make sure you read my post about visiting the Ziferblat Cafe in Moscow .

3. Marvel at St. Basil’s Cathedral

St. Basil’s Cathedral is one of the most iconic churches in the world, and it was the single thing we were most excited to see while in Moscow. Built almost 500 years ago, St. Basil’s Cathedral is recognized by its colorful domes and whimsical style. The church is of the Russian Orthodox faith, and the inside is just as wondrous as the outside.

St. Basil’s Cathedral is located on the edge of the Red Square, making it incredibly convenient to visit. Entrance for non-worshippers costs 800 rubles, and tickets can be bought at the church

4. Explore the Kremlin

The Kremlin is the largest active fortress in Europe, and it is the site of most of Russia’s government affairs. In addition to government buildings, the Kremlin Complex is filled with courtyards, towers, and museums that are open to the public. If you have the time, you could spend a couple of days fully exploring all that there is to see in the Kremlin.

5. Walk Through Lenin’s Mausoleum

Vladimir Lenin is one of the most important figures in Russian history, and his body is located perfectly embalmed in a mausoleum in the Red Square. The Mausoleum is open to the public to visit, and as long as you are willing to go through a few security checks, it is easily one of the best things to do in Moscow. Its convenient location in the Red Square makes it a can’t miss attraction.

There is absolutely no photography allowed inside the Mausoleum. Do not test this rule.

6. Wander Along Arbat Street

The Arbat is a very popular street in Moscow that is lined with stores, cafes, and other touristy attractions. It is one of the oldest streets in the city, dating back to the 1400s. This street is both quaint and trendy, and there are many walking tours that introduce tourists to the neighborhood’s wonders and highlights.

7. Catch a Show at the Bolshoi Theatre

As a lover of the arts, it is hard to think of Moscow and not think of ballet. Russia has always been a top dog in the world of fine arts, and Bolshoi Theater is one of the best places to catch a performance. We were lucky enough to attend an Opera here, and it is a venue that you don’t want to miss out on if you enjoy opera, ballet, or orchestral performances.

8. Visit the State Historical Museum

The State Historical Museum is one of the most respected museums in Moscow. Despite its name, it is not really focused on the history of Russia as a nation. Rather, it contains a collection of artifacts from all throughout Russia’s history.

The museum’s collection is very broad in nature. It houses some items from indigenous tribes that used to occupy the region, pieces collected by the Romanov family, and more.

9. Wander Around GUM

GUM is an absolutely massive mall within walking distance of the Red Square. It isn’t just the size that draws visitors here; it’s the sense of luxury. The mall is so beautiful inside, much like the metro stations.

While visiting a mall might not sound like it belongs on a bucket list, this mall does. You will not want to miss out on visiting GUM while in Moscow.

10. Admire the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour

While St. Basil’s Cathedral is the most iconic church in Moscow, it isn’t the only one. The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour is absolutely stunning, with massive golden domes. It is the tallest Orthodox church in the world, and it is the seat of the Orthodox Patriarch of Moscow.

It is located just about a mile from the Red Square, just south of the Kremlin Complex. You can walk to it from the Red Square in about 20 minutes.

How to Get to Moscow

Flying to moscow.

Moscow has three major international airports: Sheremetyevo (SVO) , Domodedovo (DMO) , and Vnukovo (VKO) . All three of them are directly connected to downtown Moscow by the Aeroexpress trains, which leave every 30 minutes throughout the day. By Aeroexpress train, you can expect to get to the city center in 25-45 minutes depending on the airport that you fly into.

Sheremetyevo is the biggest and busiest of the three airports, and it is the one you are most likely to fly into – especially if you are coming from outside of Europe or the Caucus region. We flew into Sheremetyevo on a direct flight from New York City.

I usually provide backup airport options, because flying right into the city isn’t always the cheapest way to get where you’re going. Unfortunately, when it comes to Moscow, don’t really have a choice other than to fly right into Moscow. It is a very remote city, and it is usually the cheapest place to fly into in Russia as a whole.

Since Sheremetyevo is so busy, you will probably find a great flight option anyway. I wrote in  my post about finding cheap flights  that using hub airports will lead to more affordable airfare, and the same logic applies here. Even though Russia’s national airline, Aeroflot, is no longer a member of the SkyTeam Alliance, Moscow is still a major hub connecting passengers from all over the world.

READ OUR CHEAT SHEET

Train or Bus to Moscow

Trains and buses are one of the most popular ways to get around Europe. However, they’re of very little use when you’re trying to get to Moscow.

Moscow is hundreds of miles from the nearest major cities. The only major European city that can even be reached within 8 hours on the ground is St. Petersburg, and even the Baltic capitals of Riga, Vilnius, and Tallinn are over 12 hours away.

If you want to get to Moscow, the best option is almost always to fly. While the train routes to Moscow are scenic, they simply take forever.

How to Get Around Moscow

METRO | TROLLEYS | TRAMS | BUSES

Moscow has one of the most memorable metro systems in the world. Its metro lines are very deep underground, and the stations are absolutely stunning. Each station has its own unique style, but all of them contain escalators that seem to go on forever.

The system was built in an effort to showcase the power of the Soviet Union and its bright future. The plans were a form of propaganda, but they resulted in what is still one of the most visually appealing subway systems on earth.

Moscow’s metro system isn’t just pretty. It is also very useful and accessible. The system has 17 lines that connect the city and its surrounding area.

But wait; there’s more!

The Moscow metro system is also incredibly affordable, with each ride costing less than a dollar. The metro is by far the best way to get around Moscow, as it is almost impossible to beat the connection times and the low cost to ride.

Tickets can be bought at electronic, English-speaking kiosks in stations, or directly from ticket counters at certain larger stations. There are also day passes available, which are a very solid option if you plan on riding the metro several times per day.

The metro is by far the best way to get around Moscow.

In addition to the metro system, Moscow also has a network of buses, trams, and trolleys. This system is nowhere near as convenient or well-connected as the metro, though, and is likely of little use to you during your trip. There is no Uber in Moscow, but a similar app named Yandex is available if you need a ride in a pinch.

How Many Days Do You Need in Moscow?

Moscow is the biggest city in all of Europe, and it is absolutely loaded with things to do. You could spend weeks in Moscow and still find new things to do. Of course, most travelers don’t have that kind of time to spend in one place!

I recommend spending no less than three full days in Moscow, and ideally closer to five or seven.

Moscow is very spread out, and it can take some time to get from one major point to another. There are also so many places that are nice to just sit back and relax, which is hard to do when you’re in a hurry trying to cram activities into just a few days.

If you only have a week to visit Russia, I’d advise spending all of the time in one city. If you decide to split your time between Moscow and St. Petersburg, I recommend not trying to squeeze in any day trips beyond those two cities.

When Is the Best Time of the Year to Visit Moscow?

There are two different ways to approach this question. Personally, I think the best time to visit Moscow is around Christmas and New Year’s Day. While the weather will be absolutely freezing, Moscow is a surreal winter wonderland in December and January.

We were in Moscow right before Christmas. While it was very cold, you can always bundle up. Exploring the Christmas markets and pop-up ice skating rinks throughout Moscow is one of my favorite memories from anywhere I’ve traveled, and I dream of going back to do it again.

If you aren’t fond of the cold, Moscow is beautiful in the summer. It tends to get pretty cold in the shoulder seasons, so if you want warm weather, you should plan to visit in the summer. Moscow actually gets pretty warm in July and August, and there are a bunch of fantastic places to soak up the sun within the city.

The best time to visit Moscow is either around Christmas or from late May to August.

Is Moscow Safe to Visit?

While Moscow is a truly wonderful city, there’s no denying that visiting Russia comes with risks. As the country is run by an infamous communist dictator, concerns about visiting are valid. While we didn’t experience any sort of threat or negative treatment during our time in Moscow, we visited in a peaceful time.

In our experience, Russia doesn’t seem to detain normal Americans or Westerners to use as pawns. As a regular person, as long as you don’t commit any crimes, there is a slim chance you will run into any issues. However, Russia will not hesitate to enforce its laws against foreigners, and illegal behaviors will likely land you in a very compromising position.

Russia will not hesitate to enforce its laws against foreigners, and illegal behaviors will likely land you in a very compromising position.

To make matters worse, Russia has a bad reputation for gang violence. While the Russian mafia has very little interest in normal Western tourists, they won’t hesitate to pick a fight with anyone who ventures into their sphere of influence. If you seek out illegal substances or activities, you could be a target of the mafia.

If you seek out illegal substances or activities, you could be a target of the mafia.

Finally, since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, things are all very different. Russia is currently at war, and there are battles raging within 8 hours of Moscow. While it is still relatively safe to visit, that could change at any time as the war with Ukraine continues.

Is Moscow Worth Visiting?

Without a doubt, Moscow is worth visiting. It is one of the most unique major cities we have ever visited, and we hope to make it back one day. The Russian Orthodox churches are stunning, the city’s history is unlike any other, and the food is to die for.

While many visitors prefer St. Petersburg to Moscow, I think Moscow deserves a lot of hype of its own. Moscow is the beating heart of Russian culture and history, and it’s a place I highly recommend checking out if you have the chance.
