Dodge Journey Bad Starter → Symptoms & Diagnosis

One of the most common problems that can occur in the life of a vehicle is a bad starter, that includes the Dodge Journey.  It is important to determine whether or not it’s a bad starter that is keeping the vehicle from turning over.

If your Journey is not starting, don’t assume right away that the starter is bad immediately.  There are other issues that can keep it from turning over.  These include a bad battery, battery cables, or a neutral safety switch issue.  Starters are not expensive , but replacing them can be tricky.

Bad Starter Symptoms:  Dodge Journey

Noises coming from the starter and the vehicle itself not starting are the most common symptoms of a bad starter in your Journey.  

Your ears are the best diagnostic tool that you have.  You can tell a lot about what’s going on with a vehicle by carefully listening for changes.  A bad starter will often click, but not engage the flywheel/flexplate.  It can also make a grinding sound.

If you hear a high pitched whirring sound, it may indicate that your Journey’s starter is bad, or it could mean that the starter is turning, but not making contact with the flywheel.  This is often caused by starter bolts that were not torqued tightly enough, or a broken flex plate/flywheel tooth.

2. Won’t Start

If your Journey won’t start that can be a very strong indication of a bad starter.  The thing is, it can also indicate other problems as well.  You don’t want to go through all of the trouble involved in replacing your starter only to discover that it wasn’t bad at all.

Common other reasons your Journey won’t start include:

• Bad Battery Cables or Terminals – Throughout your Journey’s life, the battery cables and terminals can become corroded.  This corrosion keeps the proper voltage from getting to the starter.  If the dash lights dim or turn off entirely when trying to start your Journey, that can indicate the battery or cables.
• Bad Battery – A battery that is too depleted won’t start your engine.  If the starter is turning slowly, but not fast enough for your Journey to start, it could very likely be a bad battery that is at fault (as opposed to a bad starter).

If you aren’t sure if it’s the starter or not, here’s a whole article on diagnosing why your Journey won’t start .  

3.  Smoke

Smoke coming from under the hood is a good indication that the starter has given up the ghost.  It can burn up, or the wiring associated with it can burn up.  If you see smoke, stop cranking!  Make sure your Journey isn’t on fire and have a mechanic take a look.

Bad Starter Diagnosis:  Dodge Journey

You’ll want to take a look at your Journey’s battery cables and battery posts.  If they are corroded, you’ll need a good wire brush or terminal cleaner to them cleaned up.  

Look at the wire going directly from the battery to the starter.  Check to see if it is burnt, or if it has taken any sort of damage that could keep it from properly conducting electricity.

If everything looks good with the battery cables and terminals, move on to the neutral safety switch.  Try putting your Journey in neutral and starting the engine.  If it starts, that could indicate a bad neutral safety switch, and not a bad starter.

If the neutral safety switch trick doesn’t work, take a look at the battery and make sure that it doesn’t look visibly damaged.  It may be worth your time to take it and have it tested at the local auto parts store (this is usually a complimentary service) before pulling and replacing the starter itself.

Good luck diagnosing whether or not your Dodge Journey has a bad starter.  If there is anything that you would like to add, please leave a comment below.  Thank you.

Dodge Journey won’t start – causes and how to fix it

Dodge Journey is a reliable road companion, but its a machine with hundreds of interconnected parts, and like any other machine it sometimes fail to deliver normal operation. In this article we go through most common causes of Journey breakdown and how you can fix the problem.

The most common causes that hinders normal starting operation of your Journey are dead 12v battery, corrosion on battery terminals, and dead key fob battery. However, bad alternator, clogged fuel filter, broken starter, blown fuse, empty gas tank, immobilizer error, or any fault in the electrical system can also cause your vehicle not to start.

1. Weak Battery

If your Journey’s engine won’t crank or cranks very slowly, then the most likely culprit is weak or dead 12v battery. Investigating more closely and doing a battery voltage test will clarify whether the starting problem is due to the battery. A test can be done to measure the voltage between the battery poles, check the acid level and assess the condition of the starter battery.

If a new car battery has been installed, the battery may not have yet reached its full capacity. There is nothing to worry about. A new battery only develops its full capacity over time.

Test 12v battery

The voltage of the battery on your Dodge Journey can be measured precisely with a multimeter. Before the test, the multimeter is set to the voltage range of the battery and connected to its plus and minus poles. Successful testing of the car battery, i.e. checking the voltage, usually results in values ​​of approx. 12 to 13 volts. Values ​​above 14 or below 11.5 volts require an expert assessment of the condition of the car battery. Because the battery may have a defect with these measured values ​​and must be replaced.

Jump start Dodge Journey

If dead battery is the reason for the breakdown of your Journey, you can easily jump start it using jumper cables and a healthy battery from another vehicle, or using a battery booster if available.

First connect red cable to the positive terminal of your Journey’s dead battery, then to the positive terminal of donor battery. Next connect black cable to the negative terminal of donor battery, then to the bare metal in the engine bay of your Journey. Start the donor vehicle and then your Journey. Remove the cables in reverse order.

2. Corrosion on battery

Corrosion on the contacts of your car battery leads to loss of contact and reduced current flow, which means that your engine can no longer start properly.

To know if your Journey’s starting problems are from dirty battery contacts, you need to investigate them. If you lift the rubber covers over the two battery terminals, you can check the terminals for corrosion. If you discover white deposits or silvery-green deposits, but no further cracks or damage, you do not have to replace the battery, just clean it.

Clean battery corrosion

To clean the battery on your Dodge Journey, you have to remove the pole cables first, which requires no special knowledge, just a little concentration, as the order is very important. First remove the black cable from the negative pole. If the pole clamp is very tight, you can open it with pliers. We advise against using metal pliers, but if you use them, you must make sure that you do not touch any other parts of the body. Next you can unplug the red positive pole cable. Once the battery has been removed from the circuit, you can start cleaning the corroded battery. After cleaning, reconnect the terminals.

3. Weak key fob battery

If your Journey has push start/stop button, then its possible that your vehicle may not start due to weak key fob battery. Don’t worry, you can still start your vehicle – the battery is only used to send the signal for locking/unlocking. If the key fob battery is empty, the door no longer locks or unlocks at the push of a button. The doors must then be opened manually. The immobilizer is controlled by a passive transponder. Passive means, among other things, that the transponder in the key does not need its own power source.

How to start Dodge Journey with dead key fob battery

If you have a model of Journey which only has a key fob with start/stop button and no place to insert a key, then try placing your key fob as close to the start/stop button as you can and then start the vehicle.

Tip: You can try starting your Journey with its second key. It will also rule out any other problem with the first key, for example, water damage.

4. Broken starter motor

A starter is a motor for starting the engine of your Journey. The average life of a starter motor is about 100,000 to 150,000 miles, and the life will be shortened if the engine is started more frequently. In any case, since the starter motor also has a limited life, it will break down after using the car for a long time, and if the starter motor breaks down, the engine will not start.

Symptom: When you turn the key to start the engine of your Journey, you will hear a clicking sound, which is the sound of a bad starter motor. And if the starter motor does not work with a healthy battery, suspect a malfunction of the starter.

If the starter fails, it usually needs to be replaced with a new one.

Temporary fix for starter

If the engine does not start due to the starter, the engine may start if you turn the key while hitting the starter motor with something like a stick or metal tool. This workaround is effective when the parts inside the starter are stuck together or the gears are slightly out of alignment.

However, it is possible that the starter is nearing the end of its life, so it is recommended that you have it inspected at a dealer or maintenance shop.

5. Defective alternator

An alternator is a generator that produces electricity. If your Journey’s alternator fails, it will not be able to produce electricity and the battery will not be able to charge. Therefore, even if you think that the cause of the engine not starting is a battery failure and replace the battery, the battery will soon run out and the engine will not start.

Alternators rarely break down. In particular, modern cars have improved performance, so it is said that they will last 200,000 to 300,000 miles. Still, it can break down depending on how you use it, and in the case of a used car, the alternator may be quite old. Don’t let your guard down.

If the alternator breaks down, it must be replaced with a new alternator.

6. Clogged fuel filter

The fuel filter of your Journey does not wear out like a mechanical part, but it gets clogged by dirt and airborne particles and clogs over time. The permeability of the filter drops, and so does the fuel pressure. To a certain extent this doesn’t matter, but if the fuel filter is too dirty, the engine will no longer perform at full capacity and in some instance may not start at all. Cleaning is not possible, you can only change the filter.

7. Fuel pump failure

If your Journey’s fuel pump fails, then the engine won’t start. The pump normally ensures that the necessary amount of fuel is passed from the tank to the injection system of the engine with sufficient pressure.

Before your fuel pump stops working, it usually becomes noticeable: if your car’s engine breaks down from time to time, the car is difficult to start, the engine jerks a little or the engine performance drops, you should have your pump checked.

Wear or contamination of the pump can be the reason for this. If the pump is leaking, a power contact is broken, a line or a pump lever is broken, the fuel pump is usually also noticeable before failure. You can have a defective fuel pump replaced in your workshop.

8. Blown fuse

In rare cases, a blown fuse could also be the culprit in the breakdown of your Journey. Check all fuses in the fuse box essential for starting the engine. But, be careful when lending a hand yourself to the fuse box! The box is under power and repairs or tests should always be done in a workshop.

9. Defective spark plugs

Without functioning spark plugs, the engine will not start. The spark plugs themselves are often not affected by a defect. Instead, plug connections on the ignition system come loose. If only one plug is actually loose, you can fix the problem yourself on site. If a spark plug has failed, it must be replaced in the workshop.

10. Rodent damage

Rodent damage can be another reason why your Dodge Journey won’t start. The animals crawl under the vehicle and bite through cables and wires. In principle, this can affect all vehicle systems such as the fuel supply, the oil supply or the power supply.

The rodent damage can usually be seen quickly by looking into the engine compartment. The damage caused by the rodent bite can be repaired in the workshop. Be prepared for relatively high costs here.

11. Engine failure

Although very rare, but it can also be the cause of the breakdown of your Journey. If a vehicle has an engine failure, then nothing works anymore. It is not uncommon for the driver of a vehicle to be responsible for such damage. Typical causes include tearing of the timing belt, incorrect fueling, insufficient oil, hydrolock, overheating of the engine, or continuous driving in an excessive speed range.

Only an experienced mechanic can diagnose engine failure in a workshop.

Use OBD2 scanner for diagnosis

Since Dodge Journey is equipped with on-board diagnostics (OBD), a fault diagnosis can provide initial indications of where the malfunction is located.

To begin troubleshooting, you must first connect the diagnostic tool to your Journey. The OBDII connector is usually located under the dashboard. With the wire connected, you should turn the ignition on. But be careful not to start the engine. Most diagnostic devices then ask for some information about the vehicle. It is important that you enter this 100% correctly, otherwise the result of the search may be falsified. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer and model, you usually also have to type in the engine and vehicle ID number. For exact troubleshooting, always check whether the information is correct.

There are many reasons why your Journey may not start. When looking for the trigger, you should always start with the most obvious cause, the empty battery.

In any case, it is advisable for laypersons to call a breakdown service or a workshop. In the event of a defect, the latter can directly initiate the repair.

My Dodge Journey will not start after driving a short time, and then stopping about 20 minutes, then try to start, press lock unlock wait 10 minutes, car will then start every time.

This is a problem I am having with my Dodge Journey as well. I haven’t had this SUV 3 years and I am still paying on it.

My 2017 Dodge Journey ran fine in the morning yesterday, was totally dead last night – no locks, no dash lights, no power button. Long story short – disconnected + positive cable under hood to reset computer. Put cables back on after 10 min wait – got feeble spark while attaching wires. Entered car, found 4-way flashers indicating on dash. Button was accidentally depressed after morning drive. Charged battery for 1 hour with battery charger. Started fine, but needed to be driven extensively to fully charge 69-month old battery. Buying new battery tomorrow.

My dodge journey 2014 is not starting. It was stripped for overheating but now after the reassemble it’s not starting, VIN initialising and press clutch to start engine are showing on the clock

Easiest Way to Replace a Starter in a Dodge 3.6

Replacing the Starter in Dodge 3.6 Engine

It’s that time again. The wife’s lovely Dodge Grand Caravan strikes again today, leaving us and our four kids stranded with a no-crank, no-start. In the past, it was the alternator that failed and left her stranded. You can read about that experience and learn how to replace the alternator in a Grand Caravan with the 3.6 by reading that post.

In this post, I’m going to show you the easiest way to replace a starter in the Chrysler 3.6 Pentastar engine. I did it on the ground on a Sunday and I had the bad starter out and the new starter in within two hours using this method to change the starter. I’m going to show you how to do it step by step but first I want to mention a couple things to check before you just go and buy a starter.

What to Check Before Replacing the Starter

Starters are not cheap for the 3.6 liter engine. I paid $160 for the one I installed and it wasn’t top of the line. If I had more time to spare, I would have looked around at some of my favorite online parts stores. What I’m getting at though is, before you shotgun a starter at your Grand Caravan, check the following things to make sure it actually needs a starter.

• Check the fuses and relays associated with the starter and starter solenoid. I used my Autel PS100 to check the fuses in my Grand Caravan but a regular test light would work too in a pinch.

If you haven’t heard of the Autel PS100, I would recommend it as an alternative to the Power Probe brand probe testers. It’s priced lower and has better functionality. If you buy it here , it comes with a hard case for less than $100.

2. Check the starter cable for power and ensure the battery voltage is normal. You can do this with the Autel probe tester also. Just hook the terminals up and touch the probe to the starter cable where it mounts to the starter. It should have 12-13 volts.

3. If you can remove the solenoid wire, you should check that it has continuity (the probe will light up green) and you should also try to crank the engine and see if it changes to battery voltage.

Once you have done all of this to properly diagnose a bad starter on the Grand Caravan, you should ho ahead and follow the steps outlined below to remove and replace the starter.

Steps to Remove the Starter in a 3.6 Grand Caravan

Because Dodge used this engine in a ton of different models ranging from cars like the Dodge Avenger to SUV’s like the Journey and minivans like the Grand Caravan and Town & Country, the process to remove the starter may vary slightly. Here’s how to remove the starter out of a ‘14 Grand Caravan specifically.

1). Jack up or lift the vehicle safely.

When working on anything that requires you to get underneath it, the first step is always to either jack up or lift the vehicle safely. If you aren’t sure and you need help learning how to properly lift a vehicle, here’s a good resource to help you. I suggest if you are not sure how to lift a car the right way, you check it out.

In the case of this starter replacement job, I used a three ton floor jack on the left side control arm with a jack stand under the subframe. Always use jack stands when working on the ground. Do not simply trust that the jack you are using will not fail. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

Remove the Battery Terminals

After you lift the vehicle or before, you need to remove the battery cables so the starter wire is not powered. This is an important step because Dodge vehicles are notorious for electrical issues and arcing power wires could cause significant damage to the electrical system. Trust me when I tell you, it’s best to be careful with Chrysler electrical systems .

2). Remove the Front Engine Mount

After you have the vehicle raised up and you have plenty of room to work, the next step to even see where the starter is on a Grand Caravan is to remove the front engine mount as shown in the picture below.

Once you are under the Grand Caravan, you will see this engine/transmission mount. It is located directly in the middle on the front of the engine. It has three bolts mounted to the engine and transmission that can be removed with a 5/8” socket. As you can see in the photo, it also has a bolt in the center and it also has two more on the underside of the subframe. Here’s a photo of those:

Once you have all of these bolts removed from the engine mount, you will be able to see where the starter is on the Grand Caravan.

Once you have removed the engine mount, you can fully see where the starter is and which bolts to remove. I’ll show you in a minute the location of the three bolts that need to be removed to replace the starter.

3). Remove the starter bolts

The next step to removing the starter is finding where the starter bolts are. In this case there are three bolts that hold the starter on the transmission. In the picture below, I have pointed to which bolts need to be removed to take the starter out of your Grand Caravan.

Now that you know where the starter bolts are on the Grand Caravan, there are two ways you can proceed.

• Take out the three starter bolts and then remove the starter cable wire and solenoid connector.
• Remove the starter cable and the solenoid wire first and then remove the starter bolts.

I recommend doing it this way. First, remove the nut holding the starter cable on the starter. Second, remove the three bolts from the transmission that hold the starter in place. Third, wiggle the starter out enough to get room to pull the solenoid wire off the starter. This is the easiest way to remove the starter and all of its components on a 3.6 liter engine.

It can be done the other way, removing both wires from the starter before taking it out but the solenoid wire is very hard to get to with the catalytic converter in the way.

Above is what it looks like with the starter removed. I used my EZ Red neck lights to make the job easier. I highly recommend you check them out if you don’t already have a set. I practically live with mine around my neck.

4). Wiggle the Starter Out

We skipped by this step a little bit, but it’s important to note that taking the starter out of a Grand Caravan takes a little bit of work. If you didn’t know how hard it was to take the starter out, you could easily be tempted to give up. With a little bit of wiggling and moving, the starter will come out.

Putting the New Starter In

Once you have removed the old starter from your Grand Caravan or other 3.6 liter engine, it will be fairly simple to install the new one. Like most repairs, installation of a starter is the opposite of removal on the 3.6 engine. There is really just one part that will give you some trouble and I’ll explain that.

Installing the Front Engine Mount

Once you get the point of installing the front engine mount back on the vehicle, there are some tips that will be helpful. The reason it’s harder to install the engine mount than it is to remove it is because the engine will shift forward once the mount has been removed.

In order to make it easier to install the front engine mount on the Grand Caravan, you should first hand tightened the five bolts holding it on and not the center bolt that goes through the rubber. The reason for this is so you can put a jack under the engine and move it around enough to line up the center hole and the long bolt that goes through the rubber.

In the photo above you can see I’m wrapping up the starter replacement in my wife’s Grand Caravan by tightening up the bolts with my old faithful Milwaukee M12 cordless ratchet. If you don’t have one, it’s something else I highly recommend. For the price of it, you simply can’t beat the time it saves on jobs like this one. Amazon has the best price on Milwaukee cordless tools. Here’s the one I would recommend.

A Couple More Pictures I Took While Replacing the Starter

I want to add a few more pictures that I took during the job in order to help add more context and hopefully make the job easier. Here they are.

I didn’t mention it earlier, but now that I uploaded the picture, I’d also like to recommend spraying all of the bolts and mounting surfaces with Fluid Film . The stuff is gold when it comes to lubrication and it really helps combat rust and other corrosion that causes parts and bolts to stick together. If you keep the Grand Caravan long enough, you may have to take those bolts out again. It will be much easier if they are coated with Fluid Film.

I hope this guide to the removal and installation of a starter in the Dodge 3.6 liter engine was helpful. It’s always my intention to help my readers by sharing my own learning experiences so you guys don’t have to deal with them,

2010 Journey Starter Location/ Replacement

I've been having issues starting my 2010 Journey ( 2WD 6 cyl , 3.5 L, Automatic   6 -spd)  and I'm convinced it may be a bad starter.  I replaced the battery  in January and just replaced the alternator  a few days ago after my car would not start and a horrible smell permeated through the vents when attempting to start multiple times. New alternator is in and now when I turn the key to attempt to start the engine ,  I get nothing, no sounds whatsoever.  Lights are on and do not dim when attempting to start.  Can anyone advise where exactly the starter is located?  I have not been able to find the location of the starter and have not found any indication of where it may be online.  Any help would be much appreciated. Pictures of starter location would be even better.

Try putting the vehicle in neutral and then start it. If it starts it may be the neutral safety switch which is inside the transmission  causing the problem.

check you wire connections for loose or corroded at the starter and frame some have found that to be their problems... good luck

Ultima starter - remanufactured, what is a starter for cars.

The starter on your car is an electric motor with a gear that engages the flywheel or flexplate to turn your engine over and build compression to start the vehicle. Starters include a geared shaft, often called a Bendix, which extends during startup to engage the starter gear with the flexplate or flywheel, and retracts once the engine has started. Many starter motors also have a built-in solenoid that sends voltage to the starter when the key is turned, but some older vehicles may instead have a remote-mounted starter solenoid that can be replaced separately. The starter or starter solenoid on your vehicle may wear out over time due to heat, oil contamination from a leak, or just regular damage experienced over a lifetime of use. If you hear clicking but your engine won't turn over, it could point to a weak starter motor, or your battery may be dead. If you can hear the starter spinning but it fails to turn over the engine, the Bendix shaft may not be engaging or extending far enough to contact the flexplate. In either case, the starter may need to be replaced to restore your starting performance. O'Reilly Auto Parts offers free starter testing on or off the vehicle, and performing this test can help you narrow down the issue to determine if your starter is the source of the problem. If you need a car battery, starter motor, solenoid, alternator, or other starting and charging system parts, O'Reilly Auto Parts carries the right parts to help you make a lasting repair and keep you on the road.

City Street Guides by f.d. walker: A Street Photography Guide to Moscow, Russia

*A series of guides on shooting Street Photography in cities around the world. Find the best spots to shoot, things to capture, street walks, street tips, safety concerns, and more for cities around the world. I have personally researched, explored and shot Street Photography in every city that I create a guide for. So you can be ready to capture the streets as soon as you step outside with your camera!

At over 12 million people, Moscow is the largest city in Russia and second largest in Europe by population ( Istanbul is #1). An urban, cosmopolitan metropolis with more than enough glitz and glam to cater to the elite, but without losing its fair share of Soviet era roughness around the edges. It can be fast paced, brash, busy, and trendy like other big cities, but it has its blend of West meets Russia atmosphere and beauty that provides plenty of unique interest. The Red Square is as famous as it gets, but there’s so much more to this city, including the most beautiful subway system you’ve ever seen. It would take years to capture all of Moscow, but that means you have an endless amount of areas to discover.

So here’s a Street Photography guide so you can be ready to capture all that Moscow has to offer before you even arrive!

• Patriarch’s Pond
• Old Arbat Street
• Maroseyka Street
• Tverskoy Boulevard

Top 5 Street Spots:

1. red square.

The Red Square is the most famous square in not just Russia, but all of Eastern Europe. The name actually doesn’t come from the color of the bricks or communism, but from the name in Russian, Krásnaya, once meaning “beautiful” before its meaning changed to “red.” This large plaza is what you see on the cover of guide books and magazines for Moscow, with St. Basil’s Cathedral being the center piece next to Lenin’s Mausoleum surrounded by the Kremlin Wall. Of course, the Red Square attracts hordes of tourist due to the main attractions, but all that activity around an interesting atmosphere does provide street photo opportunities. It’s also the central square connecting to the city’s major streets, providing a good starting point to explore outward.

You’ll also find the popular pedestrian only Nikolskaya Street connecting the Red Square to Lubyanka Square. This line of expensive shops includes plenty of activity, while also leading you to another popular square. Filled with history rivaling any city, the Red Square and surrounding areas are the heart and soul of Russia.

2. Patriarch’s Ponds

Patriarch’s Ponds is one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in Moscow. Despite the name being plural, there’s only one large pond, but it’s worth a visit with your camera. It’s a popular spot for locals and expats to come relax or take a stroll around the pond. You get an interesting mix of young and old too, from young love to “babushkas” feeding pigeons. It’s a very peaceful park atmosphere in one of the nicer areas within the city center, while bringing enough activity for street photography. 

The pond is shallow and in the winter becomes a popular spot for ice-skating too. The area is also well-known for the location in the famous Russian novel, The Master and Margarita. 

3. Old Arbat (Stary Arbat)

Old Arbat is the most famous pedestrian street in Moscow, and dating back to the 15th century, also one of its oldest. Originally, it was an area of trade, but soon became the most prestigious residential area in Moscow. During the 18th century, Arbat started attracting the city’s scholars and artists, including Alexander Pushkin. Cafes lined the streets and impressive homes filled the neighborhood. Since then, New Arbat street was created as a highway in the area, while Old Arbat was paved for a 1km pedestrian only walkway.

Due to the historic buildings, famous artists that lived here, and the bohemian atmosphere, Old Arbat has become a big attraction for tourists today. Now, there’s a mix of cafes, restaurants, souvenir shops, street performers, street merchants and other attractions for visitors, and some locals, to come enjoy. It can get really busy here and there’s usually something interesting going on so it’s a good street to come walk with your camera for guaranteed life.

4. Gorky Park

One of the most famous places in Moscow is Gorky Park. The official name is Maxim Gorky’s Central Park of Culture & Leisure, which gives you an idea of what goes on here. When built, it was the first of its kind in the Soviet Union. Divided into two parts, it stretches along Moscow River. One end contains fair rides, foods stands, tennis courts, a sports club, a lake for boat rides, and more. This end brings more active life due to its number of attractions, while the other end is more relaxed, where you’ll find gardens, trees, older buildings, and an outdoor amphitheater.

Gorky Park attracts mostly locals so it’s a good spot to capture the non-tourist side of Moscow life. Muscovites come here to escape the city and unwind in a picturesque setting. The park remains alive outside of the warmer months too, especially when the lake turns into the city’s largest outdoor skating rink. I’d recommend taking the metro out here to spend at least half a day exploring the massive park’s life with your camera.

5. Maroseyka Street

Maroseyka Street is a popular area not too far from the Red Square. The long, winding street turns into Pokrovka and is lined with restaurants, cafes, bars and places to stay. It’s actually where I like to stay when I’m in Moscow due to its location and solid street photography opportunities itself. You have Kitay-gorod station near and if you keep walking southwest, you’ll get to the Red Square. But if you walk northwest, as it changes to Pokrovka, you can find a long street of activity for photography with its own interesting atmosphere.

6. Tverskoy Boulevard

Tverskoy Boulevard is the oldest and longest boulevard in Moscow, beginning at the end of Nikitsky Boulevard, and finishing at Pushkin Square, a spot to come for activity itself. The boulevard is made up of two avenues, with pedestrian walkways in-between. You’ll find grass, shrubbery, trees, benches and more walking it’s almost kilometer length. Many people come here to enjoy some relaxation, walk their dog, or just to use it to walk wherever they’re going. Its center location also provides a nice place to walk with your camera near plenty of other spots you’ll want to check out anyway.

Sample Street Walk:

For a full day of Street Photography, covering some of the best spots, you can follow this sample street walk for Moscow:

• Start your morning walking around the Red Square (1), while exploring the surrounding area, including Nikolskaya Street
• Then walk northwest to Patriarch’s Ponds (2) and slowly walk the pond and surrounding area with your camera
• Next, walk east to the Pushkin Monument and stroll down Tverskoy Boulevard (6)
• Once Tverskoy Boulevard (6) ends, it will turn into Nikitsky Boulevard. Follow this down until you get to the start of Old Arbat Street (3), across from Arbatskaya station
• After you’re done walking down Old Arbat Street (3) for more street photography, spend some time checking out Moscow’s beautiful metro stations
• To finish off the day with more street photography, get off the metro near Red Square (1) again, Maroseyka Street (5) or wherever you’re staying for the night.

3 Things I’ll Remember about Shooting in Moscow:

1. museum metro.

The Moscow metro system was the first underground railway system in the Soviet Union and today includes 203 stations across 340km of routes. The elaborate system has some of the deepest stations in the world too, with escalators that seem to go on forever. None of this is what makes it so special, though. Many of its stations feel like stepping inside a museum, making it without a doubt the most interesting and beautiful metro system I’ve been in.

When built, Stalin wanted to make the metro stations “palaces for the people” with marble, chandeliers, and grand architecture. The best part is the variety of architecture and styles used, making many of the stations a completely different experience visually. You could easily spend a whole day traveling the stations and there are even tours available for people who wish to do just that. My advice, though, would be just to buy a ticket and hop on and off at different stations, while exploring different lines. The museum-like surrounding mixed with the crowds of characters can make for a great photography experience.

Since there are so many stations, here are some of my favorites to check out:

• Novoslobodskaya
• Mayakovskaya
• Elektrozavodskaya
• Komsomolskaya
• Ploschad Revolyutsii
• Dostoyevskaya
• Prospekt Mira

2. Moscow is Big

It’s no secret that Moscow is a big city, but it can feel even bigger with how spread out much of it is. This is especially true if you compare it to cities outside of Asia. If I compared it to cities in Europe, I’d probably say only Istanbul would warrant more time to really discover the depths of this city. Most only explore around the Red Square and surrounding area, but that is such a small part of the city. Although, that central area does give you plenty to see on its own.

Fortunately, I had a good friend living in the city to show me around, but it opened up my eyes even more to how much there is to discover in Moscow. It’s a big city with a variety of atmosphere that can take you from “east” to “west” and trendy to rugged depending on where you go. I’d imagine you’d have to live here a while to really know the city.

3. Cosmopolitan Mix of East meets West

Modern skyscrapers mixed with amazing architecture, a world-class metro system with museum-like beauty, trendy fashion and chic clubs, Moscow is a rich mix of Russian culture and history in a more western cosmopolitan package. There is a push to keep the Russian culture, while also pushing forward with a modern metropolis the whole world will envy. This comes with an impressive skyline, that continues to grow, and endless modernities, but with soviet nostalgia and atmosphere mixed in for good measure.

Mixed in with this grand western cosmopolitan atmosphere, is a strong national pride in Russia. This includes their famous leader, Vladimir Putin. Maybe no other place will you see a country’s leader more often. All over, from the pricey tourist shops to the underground walkway stalls, you’ll find goods with Putin’s likeness covering them. From t-shirts to magnets to Matryoshka dolls. There’s a strong national pride that can be seen around the city, which also extends to their leader. Moscow is many things. It’s East meets West, modernizations meets Soviet era, and a whole lot more.

What To Do For a Street Photography Break?:

Eat at a stolovaya.

Stolovayas are Russian cafeterias that became popular in the Soviet days. You grab a tray and walk down the line of freshly prepared local dishes, and select whatever you want from the chefs. They’re usually inexpensive and a much better value than restaurants, while giving you the opportunity to try from a wide selection of everyday Russian food. They’re also very tasty. I always include some borsch on my tray and go from there. The places themselves are all over Moscow and usually come with Soviet-era aesthetics to complete the experience.

Street Safety Score: 7

*As always, no place is completely safe! So when I talk about safety, I’m speaking in general comparison to other places. Always take precaution, be smart, observe your surroundings and trust your instincts anywhere you go!

Being the 2nd largest city in Europe with over 12 million people, you’re going to have your dangerous areas, but for the most part, it feels safe walking around. Russia is statistically higher in crime compared to most of Europe, but this generally doesn’t apply to tourists and visitors. Around the Red Square and surrounding city center, you should feel completely safe walking around. Pick pocketing can happen, but no more than other touristic places. I always explore Moscow freely without coming across too much to worry about. It’s a spread out city, though, so of course it matters where you are. Just use basic street smarts, know where you are and Moscow shouldn’t give you a problem. 

People’s Reaction Score: 7

Moscow is fast paced, big city life, which usually means people aren’t too concerned with you, or your camera. I don’t find people notice or pay much attention to me when I’m out taking photos in Moscow. For the most part, people just go about their day. You shouldn’t get too many looks or concern. But it can depend on the area you are in. The more you stick out, the more you might get noticed with suspicions. I’ve never had any problems in Moscow, or Russia, but just be careful who you’re taking a photo of if you get out of the city center. Other than that, it’s about average for reactions. 

Street Tips:

Learn the alphabet .

Much of Moscow, including the metro system, doesn’t use english. The Russian alphabet uses letters from the Cyrillic script, which if you aren’t familiar with it and don’t know the sounds, can be hard to decipher the words. This is most important for street names and metro stops when trying to get around. It can save confusion and make it easier getting around if you learn the basic alphabet. At the very least then, you can sound out the words to see which are similar in the english conversion, which can help matching them to maps. When out shooting street photography, getting around is as important as anything. So save yourself some time and frustration by learning the Russian Alphabet.

Use the metro

While Saint-Petersburg feels very walkable for a city its size, Moscow can feel very spread out, even for its bigger size. Outside of the Red Square area, you can have plenty of walking before getting anywhere very interesting, so you’ll need to take the metro a lot if you really want to explore the city. Maps are deceiving here too, it will always be further than it looks.

Another reason it’s less walkable than Saint-Petersburg is its completely different set-up. Moscow’s streets are mostly contstructed in rings with narrow, winding streets in-between. This is common with medieval city cities that used to be confined by walls, but you usually don’t have it in a city this massive. Saint-Petersburg has a more grid-like pattern that also uses the canals to help you know your way around. When it comes to navigating on foot in Moscow, it can be more difficult, so bring a map and take the metro when needed. It’s why Moscow’s metro carries more passengers per day than the London and Paris subways combined.

Explore other areas if you have time

Moscow is really big. While most people stay around the Red Square within the Boulevard Ring, there’s so much more to the city. I covered some other spots outside of this circle, but if you really want to see the city, you’ll need time. If you do have time, some other areas I’d check out first are Zamoskvarechye, along some of the south and western Moscow.

Conclusion:

Moscow’s name brings a certain mystique, but once you’re there it might bring a different atmosphere than you expect. It’s big and sprawling, but beautiful in many ways. It can feel like a European capital on a grand scale, but you can definitely find its Russian side in there.

The urban sprawl of Moscow can be intimidating, but give it enough time and you’ll be rewarded with plenty to discover. All with the world’s best metro system to take you around.

I hope this guide can help you start to experience some of what Moscow contains. So grab your camera and capture all that Moscow has to offer for Street Photography!
