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 .

Coral Island: All Legendary Fishes (& How to Catch Them)

L egendary Fish in Coral Island are rare sea creatures that only appear in specific parts of the map during limited periods. In this guide, you’ll learn all the details of catching all available Legendary Fish and discover more about their specific uses. (If you want to maximize your chances of catching these uncommon creatures, bring a couple of Large Baits with you, as they increase the chances of catching large fish by 25%.)

Coral Island: All Treasure Chest Locations

List of all legendary fishes.

Coral Island has nine Legendary Fish types : Giant Sea Bass, Giant Stingray, Great White Shark, Green Sawfish, Hammerhead, Monkfish, Raja Ampat Shark, Red King Arowana, and Yellow Moray Eel. Each of these fish will take four days in a Pond to reproduce, whereas a regular fish would reproduce in half that time.

How to Catch Every Legendary Fish

Legendary Fish are seasonal catches, requiring you to catch them during specific times they appear in the waterways. Below is a comprehensive guide on catching each one:

Giant Sea Bass

In the first seven days of Fall, head to the Ocean at any time of day or night, regardless of weather conditions, to catch the Giant Sea Bass. You require one Legendary Bass to complete the Rare Fish Altar in the Lake Temple . Any additional fish can be sold for a base price of 972 coins.

Giant Stingray

Between the 15th and 28th of both Summer and Spring, fish in the River (Forest) during Sunny or Windy weather in the mornings or afternoons to catch the Legendary Giant Stingray. Donate the first Legendary Stingray you catch to the Museum for extra points.

Great White Shark

During the first 14 days of Summer, head to the Ocean near the Dock area and fish in the mornings or afternoons on sunny and windy days to catch the Legendary White Shark. Donate your first catch to the Museum for three extra points, and sell the rest for a base price of 972 coins.

Green Sawfish

During rainy, stormy, snowy, or blizzard weather in Winter, you can catch a Legendary Green Sawfish in the Estuary. Visit this location during afternoons, evenings, or nights to maximize your chances of catching this rare fish. Only Theo loves this item as a gift , and you're better off donating it to the Museum or selling it for the same base price as other Legendary sea creatures.

Catch a Hammerhead in the Lookout Area (Ocean) during the first 21 days of Fall and Winter. Visit this area during rainy, stormy, snowy, or blizzard weather, and fish from morning to night to guarantee catching it.

Monkfish is available in the Forest area's Ocean during the first 14 days of Spring. Fish during the evenings or nights on sunny or windy days for a chance to catch this Legendary fish. You will not need this fish for any of the Altars, and your best bet is to donate it to the Museum.

Raja Ampat Shark

To catch this Legendary shark, head to the Lookout area's Ocean during the first 14 days of Summer and fish in the evenings or nights. Regardless of the weather, you will have an opportunity to catch the Raja Ampat Shark if these conditions are met.

Red King Arowana

From the 22nd to the 28th of Fall, when the weather is rainy, stormy, or windy, you will have a chance to catch the Red King Arowana in the Water Mine, Wind Mine, and Fire Mine. Note that this Legendary creature only shows up in afternoons and evenings.

Yellow Moray Eel

The Legendary Eel can be caught in the Beach area's Ocean during the second half of Spring and Summer. Visit this location from the 15th to the 28th of these seasons and fish during nighttime to catch it.

The Bolshoi Theater is the most famous Russian theater in the world. The most economical way to see a presentation at the Bolshoi Theater is to take the tickets on the theater’s official website in advance, so here is our tutorial to help you: How to buy tickets to the Bolshoi? In addition, several pedestrian or one-way streets are located north of the theater. It is therefore very pleasant to find them to leave the main axes of the megalopolis.

Visit the Moscow Kremlin

Visit Kremlin is on top of things to do in Moscow. A place of power for centuries, the Kremlin then shows us a whole different image when viewed from the inside. If you want to visit Moscow in 2 days, the Kremlin is certainly one of the must-see places in Moscow.

• Opening hours : Daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., except Thursday.
• See our blog post about visiting the Moscow Kremlin

Visit the Cathedral of Christ the Savior

This impressive Moscow Cathedral is the seat of the Russian Orthodox Church. It is a must see if you visit Moscow in 2 days and clearly one of the things to do in Moscow. The Cathedral of Christ the Savior was first built in 1883 in memory of Russia’s victory over Napoleon’s Grand Army. Then in 1931 Stalin ordered its destruction. It was then rebuilt again (identically) only in 2000.

• Where? Ulitsa Volkhonka 15. At the foot of the Kropotkinskaya metro station.
• Opening hours . Daily: 10: 00-17: 00, except Monday: 13: 00-17: 00
• Free entry (some closing restrictions, for example a short)

Good to know! In orthodox religious places, one must avoid excessively uncovered clothing. Women should cover their heads. After visiting the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, you can explore Bolotny Island and Gorky Park. This is one of the routes our guide to Moscow.

The old Krasny Oktyabr factory: one of the coolest things to do in Moscow

If you cross the Moskva River by a pedestrian bridge which is located just in front of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, you will enjoy a beautiful view of the city and at the same time you can discover Balchug Island. Furthermore, if you want to visit Moscow in 2 days, you can include this island in your itinerary between the cathedral and Gorky park. Here is the old confectionery factory Krasny Oktyabr, which has gradually turned into a fashionable micro-district. There are then some elements of street art, cafes and restaurants and some Moscow bohemian side. At the end of the island you can see a gigantic 98-meter-high monument dedicated to the Russian reforming tsar Pierre The Great.

Good to know! You can find on this island are the trendiest nightclubs in Moscow. On weekends, there are taxi caps after midnight so there are so many people. On the other hand, if you go there in winter and during the day, the island is quite empty and less interesting to see.

Gorky Park is one of the TOP places to visit in Moscow, because it allows you to better understand the life of the locals and their rhythm. In fact, it’s a huge entertainment park. For example, in winter there is a giant ice rink and in summer – free dance or yoga lessons, sandy beaches for playing volleyball, an outdoor cinema. So, like the locals, have a Stakantchik (ice cream or cooked corn), and enjoy the atmosphere of the place: that’s one of the interesting things to do in Moscow to discover the city.

• Where? Krymsky Val 9. 20 minutes’ walk from Krasny Oktyabr, along the quays.

Sparrow Hill and Moscow State University

The Sparrow Hill, Vorobiovy Gori in Russian, is the highest point in Moscow. It is rather known to Russians, but less to travelers. A nice view on Moscow opens from the hill, and in particular on the Luzhniki Stadium. In addition, on the hill itself is the Moscow State University: an impressive skyscraper from the Soviet era.

• How to get there? By bus T7 (35 min) from Oktyaborskaya station, near Gorki Park. By metro (Vorobiovy Gorki station) + climb the hill on foot. On foot along the Moskva along the Gorky Park (1h30) + climb in funiculars.

Good to know! It is possible to cross the Moskva river by funicular. We actually tested it and it was pretty cool! That is one of our favorite things to do in Moscow!

What to do in Moscow in 3 days?

If you are going to visit Moscow in 3 days, it would be interesting to dive into the Soviet era which strongly marked the country and the city. After the Bolshevik Revolution, the capital was transferred from Saint Petersburg to Moscow, in order to mark the change of power. Moscow then became the world showcase for communist ideology. Here are the best things to do in Moscow for 3-day-trip!

VDNKh, visit Moscow of the Soviet era

VDNKh is a large exhibition center in the north of Moscow, where there are still several striking witnesses of the USSR. The most interesting are the Museum of Cosmonauts and the Statue of the Worker and the Kolkhozian , which will certainly impress you with its size!

GULAG History Museum

The explanations of the museum are very well done. We really have the feeling of going back in time. If you are going to visit Moscow in 3 days and you are interested in history and this subject in particular, I recommend this museum. Visit the GULAG History Museum is one of the most interesting things to do in Moscow.

Discover the Patriarche Pounds district

It’s a nice neighborhood in Moscow where you can come across rather affluent locals, but not necessarily very bling-bling. Take a walk in this area is really a cool thing to do in Moscow! In addition, the Ponds of Patriarch is one of the places of Bulgakov’s novel “Master and Margarita”. As this is an interesting area to see, we have included it in a walking tour of Moscow. The route ends at the Moscow Kremlin, which is very convenient, because you will be able to visit Moscow in 3 days by optimizing your trips.

What to visit in Moscow in 4 days: TOP things to do in Moscow in 4 days

If you want to visit Moscow in 3 days, you will already see a lot of things. On the other hand, if you stay one more day, you have plenty to do! The Novodevichy Convent, the Tchistie Proudy district and the Izmaylovo Kremlin are very good candidates for you, if you are going to visit Moscow in 4 days.

Visiting Novodevichy Convent in Moscow

The Novodevichy Convent is one of the most brilliant examples of Russian architecture, according to UNESCO. This beautiful complex was built in 1524 and today consists of the convent, but also of a cemetery whose status could be compared to that of Père-Lachaise in Paris. Visiting Novodevichy Convent is one of the great things to do in Moscow, if you want to go a little bit outside of the center!

Discovering Tchistye Proudy district

It’s one of the most popular areas of Moscow, with many cafes, restaurants and bars nearby. It is therefore a place to discover if you want to visit Moscow in 4 days. It is just as pleasant for a stroll as for the discovery of local life. For example, in winter the pond turns into an ice rink.

Visiting the Izmaylovo Kremlin, one of the coolest things to do in Moscow!

The Izmaylovo Kremlin is more of a tourist than a historic place. On the other hand, it is a pretty impressive place to discover, especially on weekends. Inside the Kremlin, there is a flea market where you can find a little bit of everything, but mostly good souvenirs to bring from Moscow. For example, chapka, traditional Russian scarves or matryoshka (Russian dolls). Add the Kremlin and the Izmaïlovo market to your itinerary if you are going to visit Moscow in 4 days, because it is a nice and very colorful place! Visiting the Izmailovo Kremlin is one of the things to do in Moscow, if you want to put colors in your Instagram account! 😉

In 4 days, we will have the opportunity to see several Moscow: Classic Moscow, Moscow of old Russia, Soviet Moscow and a little bit of the new Moscow. So what to visit in Moscow on the 5th day of travel?

What to visit in Moscow in 5 days?

Art lovers will be delighted to discover the Tretyakov Gallery and the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, while others will prefer to stroll along Arbat Street, see the buildings of Moskva-City or visit Bunker 42.

Admiring Russian art at Tretyakov Gallery

Founded in 1856 by an industrialist and great lover of art, the gallery has grown over the decades, and then bequeathed to the state. Today the collection includes more than 140,000 pieces, 15,000 of which are paintings. Visiting the Tretyakov Gallery is one of the things to do in Moscow if you want to discover Russian art!

• Where? Pereoulok Lavrouchinski 10. A 5-minute walk from Tretiakovskaya station
• Opening hours. Open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. Thursday and Friday. Closed on Mondays.
• Entry tickets. 500 RUB.

Visiting the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts

The Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts presents the treasures of ancient Egypt, the paintings of Rembrandt and Cézanne, a fine collection of Impressionism.

• Where? Ulitsa Volkhonka 12
• Opening hours. Daily: 10: 00-20: 00, except Thursday: 11: 00-21: 00. Closed on Mondays. The boxes close an hour before closing.
• Entry tickets. The prices vary according to the collections from 300 to 750 RUB.

Walking on Arbat Street

All Russians know Rue Arbat. So, walking on Arbat street is one of the things to do in Moscow. However, after the years, little by little it became very touristy. This is a pedestrian street only. There are souvenir shops, restaurants and cafes there, but it is no longer the most authentic neighborhood in the city.

Seeing the buildings of Moskva-City (Moscow City)

Moskva-City is Moscow’s business center, much like Paris’s Defense district. The skyscrapers of Moskva-City are among the tallest in Europe: 373 meters high! Very nice place to see at dusk.

Good to know! You can admire a nice view of Moscow City from the docks of Tarasa Shevchenko. It’s especially beautiful in the evening with all the lights on.

Bunker 42, one of the most unusual things to do in Moscow

Bunker 42 is a secret military complex which was to be used by the Soviets in the event of a nuclear attack: a space of 7000 m² 65 meters underground!

• Where? 5 Kotelnitcheski Lane, 11.
• Prices. 2200 RUB per person
• Opening hours. Open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
• Restaurant inside. Original, but rather a tourist trap.

What to visit in Moscow in 6 days or more?

There are still so many places to see, because Moscow is a big megalopolis and there is always something exciting to do there. For example: the ancient Kolomenskoye village or the WINZAVOD contemporary art center .

If you are interested in history and want to see Russian cities on a rather “human scale”, it would certainly be interesting for you to discover the cities of the Golden Ring . For example, it is very easy to get to Sergey Posad from Moscow (less than 2 hours in train). Visiting the Golden Ring is one of the best things to do in Moscow if you are staying more than a 5-6 days.

There are still plenty of places to see in Moscow, however I did my best to list here the best things to do in Moscow, what to see in Moscow in one day, but also in 2, 3, 4 or 5 days in Moscow!

Restaurants slow to adopt eco-friendly alternatives as Hong Kong’s ban on single-use plastics takes effect

Hong Kong restaurants have been slow to switch to eco-friendly alternatives following the single-use plastics ban enacted on Monday, with many still using disposables.

Single-use plastics including straws and utensils are forbidden under the ban. Restaurants have a six-month grace period to comply with the new rules, under which the government will not take enforcement actions.

As the transition began on Monday, coinciding with Earth Day, chain eateries have been quicker to make the transition than smaller restaurants.

Of the eight eateries visited by HKFP, only two had started using paper containers for takeaway meals, and none had switched to eco-friendly cutlery.

In Kowloon City, Tei Mou Koon Dessert had switched to paper bowls with plastic lids, but still had plastic spoons for takeaway orders.

Nearby, Shanghainese restaurant Moon Han Kitchen was still packaging most food in plastic containers – the owner, surnamed Lee, said it still had about two months’ supply of plastic boxes. But the restaurant showed HKFP paper bowls it was slowly beginning to use.

Under the new regulation, Styrofoam tableware, including plates, food containers and cups, will be banned, as well as plastic straws, cutlery, and stirrers. Plastic containers and cups – and their lids – are not included under the current phase of the ban, but will be prohibited in the second phase expected to begin next year.

‘The forks don’t even work’

Lee told HKFP that he earlier received a sample paper container from a supplier, but found after testing that it was unable to withstand moisture and high temperatures.

“If you’re walking home with your takeaway order in this box, that’d be fine. But if you have to drive, then that wouldn’t work,” he said in Cantonese, adding that he was yet to receive quotations for other suppliers of paper containers.

“The quality and price [of eco-friendly alternatives] is unstable, so I’ll use what I have now,” Lee said.

See also: Hong Kong to ban single-use plastic tableware from next April

A customer at Lee’s restaurant complained that, in her experience, non-plastic alternatives were awkward to use. “It literally takes two sips [before] the [paper] straw starts getting soggy, and the forks don’t even work!” she said in Cantonese.

Simon Wong, the president of the Federation of Restaurants and Related Trades, told RTHK on Monday that some 70 per cent of restaurants had not adopted non-plastic alternatives, and that eco-friendly alternatives were currently 20 to 30 per cent more expensive than plastic utensils.

The industry head also said that the adjustment period would allow more time for the catering industry to find suitable replacements.

Two other restaurants said they were still going through their stock of Styrofoam and plastic containers, and had not placed orders for replacements. Two bubble tea shops that HKFP visited were still using plastic straws.

Noodle shop Kam Ho Restaurant, also in Kowloon City, said it was not affected by the ban as it was closing its doors in about a month.

Secretary for Environment and Ecology Tse Chin-wan has also said that businesses need not worry about the plastic ban. Even when the six-month grace period ends, authorities will not take enforcement action immediately, and instead educate businesses who have breached the ban, Tse said in a blog post.

Several restaurant chains, meanwhile, had already replaced plastic utensils with plant-based alternatives. To offset costs, Café de Coral and TamJai Yunnan Mixian begun charging HK$1 for utensil sets, with Fairwood offering a reusable stainless steel set for HK$2.

But paper spoons provided by Café de Coral were unwieldy and fragile, according to HKFP’s observations.

Maxim’s Group is charging HK$1 for bamboo chopsticks and spoons made of sugarcane pulp, and also offers rebates for customers who use their own cutlery and containers.

McDonalds and 7-Eleven, which previously used plastic cups for cold drinks and paper cups for hot ones, have switched to using paper cups and lids across the board.

With two 7-Eleven coffees in hand, Kowloon City resident Sam told HKFP he liked the new lids because he believed they were good for the environment. “I’m saving the world!” he said with a smile, adding that his household waste went to the nearby recycling station.

The ban was introduced after the Legislative Council passed  the Product Eco-responsibility (Amendment) Bill 2023  last October.

The second phase of the plastics ban, which will come into effect as early as next year depending on “the availability and affordability of alternatives,” will ban all plastic containers, cups, tablecloths, and disposable gloves.
