Old Meets New With the Vintage-Inspired, Modern Cortes Campers Travel Trailer

Jon Gugala

For such a vintage-looking RV , it’s hard to believe that Cortes Campers’ 17-foot Travel Trailer makes any kind of departure from the campers of yore. But looks can be deceiving, and the startup, based out of Cleveland, Oh., has multiple patents in process to protect its 21st-century tech. And maybe that’s the appeal: A heritage-looking product with totally modern guts. (Hey, it’s working for fellow Ohio company Airstream.) How is the Travel Trailer awesome? Let us count the ways.

  • RV Essential Gear

Working from the outside in, the first is its aesthetics, which owe no small debt of gratitude to Airstream and the now-defunct Avion for the symmetrical Twinkie shape. (Cortes even tacitly acknowledges this on its landing page, referring to “another well-known travel trailer manufacturer that decided to build campers the same way airplanes were built approximately a century ago.” Yeah, we know who you’re talking about.) But rather than using the same construction methods for its glossy exterior, Cortes claims to be the first to utilize a proprietary layering method of aluminized fiberglass and carbon fiber. (Yeah, we don’t fully understand that either.) The result, however, is evident in weight, or the lack thereof: Impervious to corrosion, rust, and rot, the complete package weighs 1,800 pounds, or around 50% less than competitors for its size, allowing most vehicles to tow either its cheaper, colored options (think early iPods) or a more expensive mirrored silver finish model.

Moving inside, its 14-foot-tall interior (almost six and a half feet vertically) is suitable for two adults or for a family of three, with a double bed and twin bed available in both layout options. Lighted overhead storage, a wardrobe, and cabinets ensure there’s plenty of room to secure items so they’re not underfoot. Appliances including refrigerator, microwave, three-burner range with hood, and a 28-inch HD LED TV all come standard. There are thirty-plus-gallon graywater and freshwater tanks, and a six-gallon water heater for the shower and sinks. There’s also a toilet, so you won’t have to dig a trench.

While the Cortes Campers 17-foot Travel Trailer is priced competitively among its peers ($39,950 for colors and $47,950 for silver), it’s certainly a significant investment. The argument for it is both in durability and weight. With its revolutionary exterior construction, you get both the vintage look and cutting-edge performance. And with the low weight, you can buy the RV and just tow it with your Subaru or Toyota rather than Googling what exactly a Hemi is. (One more thing we’re iffy about.) Vintage RVs are great, but ask any classic car owner about maintenance and you’ll get an earful about unreliability. If you’re looking for the best blend between good looks, modern construction, and the ability to utilize the vehicle you already own, there’s not a better choice than the Travel Trailer.

Few brands symbolize the Great American Road Trip like Airstream. On the outside, its iconic aluminum travel trailers have changed little since the last century, and for our money, that's a very good thing. Across the lineup, however, the interiors have evolved into something altogether different. They're more polished, more luxurious — even downright swanky — and we're not talking about just the flagship models that sell for well north of $150,000.

The new Airstream Caravel 16RB offers many of the same upscale features and specs of its pricier brethren in one of the company's most compact footprints ever. But don't let the diminutive size of this Airstream camper fool you. Airstream managed to pack all the amenities of a modern luxury apartment into just under 17 feet -- how's that for van life?. That has us seriously reconsidering our current living situation.

It's been two years since Tesla announced its Cybertruck, and while it hasn't yet gone into production (current estimates place it in 2022), that hasn't prevented at least one company from announcing its own pop-up camper top for the truck's bed. Stream It, Inc.'s CyberLandr should be taken with a grain of salt, as it's not exactly like designing an iPhone cover, but it's still enticing, showing a picture of what 21st-century Van Life might look like.

Plenty of RVs and campers claim to be designed with the serious outdoorsman in mind. (And we've written about many.) But the HQ19 by Aussie-born Black Series, only recently available in the U.S., redefines what we thought possible, both in function and in range. It's not an exaggeration to say that with the company's travel trailers, men can go deeper into the backcountry than ever before while enjoying creature comforts not even found in surrounding towns.

Founded 11 years ago in Oz, from the start Black Series emphasized low cost with damn-near bulletproof performance, crafting pull-behind campers that could survive the rigors of the outback. But while it began with the more affordable pop-up-style campers (its first cost just over $5,000 at current conversion rates), it has since expanded into caravan-style RVs built on the same all-terrain principles. This opened an entirely new category, as solid walls allows luxury features. Relocating its headquarters to Los Angeles three years ago, the company has begun to pump out an expanded line of models that deliver industry-leading function and durability to the American market.

19 Unique And Fabulous Experiences In Moscow

cortes travel trailers

  • Destinations

Thinking of visiting Russia? When visiting such a famous city, one must, of course, visit the iconic landmarks first. Moscow has plenty of those, most of them in the center of the city, which is very well-planned for tourists. Once you’ve seen the sights that are on most travelers’ lists, it’s time to branch out and visit some of the lesser-known sites, and there are some fascinating places to see and things to do.

I know this list is long, but I just couldn’t help myself. You probably won’t have the time to see them all. But that’s okay. Just scroll through the list and choose what sounds the most interesting to you. Where possible, make sure to book in advance, as things can get crowded, especially during high season.

Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, Russia

1. The Red Square, Kremlin, And Surroundings

Red Square (Krasnya Ploshad) is the heart and soul of Russia, and where much of the country’s history has unfolded. This is the most famous landmark in Moscow and indeed the whole country, it’s an absolute must-do! The square is always full of people and has a rather festive atmosphere!

Saint Basil’s Cathedral

This is the famous church with the rainbow-colored, onion-domed roof. The cathedral was commissioned in the 1500s by Ivan the Terrible and according to legend, the Tsar thought it was so beautiful, that he ordered that the architect’s eyes be cut out afterward, so he could never build anything more beautiful! He wasn’t called Ivan the Terrible for no reason!

Lenin’s Mausoleum

The “love-it-or-hate-it” of tourist attractions in Russia. A glass sarcophagus containing the embalmed body of Russian revolutionary, Vladimir Lenin. It may seem a bit bizarre to display the mummy of a person, but it has been there for almost half a century and the 2.5 million visitors who come each year, clearly feel the queuing and thorough body search are worth it, to be in Lenin’s presence.

Pro Tip: no photos and no loud talking are allowed inside the Mausoleum.

Eternal Flame

There is an Eternal Flame in honor of an unknown soldier on the left side of Red Square. The hourly changing of the guards is worth seeing.

The Kremlin is the official residence of the Russian president. You can see it from the outside, or you can take an excursion to one of the museums located inside. This is the biggest active fortress in Europe, and holds a week’s worth of attractions! Once behind the 7,332-feet of walls, there are five squares, four cathedrals, 20 towers, various museums, and the world’s largest bell and cannon to see. Worth a special mention is the Armory Chamber that houses a collection of the famous Faberge Eggs.

Pro Tip: You can only go inside the Kremlin if you are part of a tourist group.

Interior of the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscos

2. Bolshoi Theatre

Bolshoi Theatre translates to “The Big Theatre” in Russian, and the building is home to both the Bolshoi Ballet and Bolshoi Opera — among the oldest and most famous ballet and opera companies in the world.

Pro Tip: It’s hard to get an inexpensive ticket, so if you’re reading well in advance of going to Moscow then try buying tickets on the official website . Last-minute tickets cost around $250 per person. If this is out of your budget, about an hour before a performance, you can try buying a ticket at the entrance from a reseller. Most can speak enough English to negotiate the price.

Tour the Bolshoi Theatre: You can take a group guided tour of the Bolshoi Theatre which focuses on the history and architecture of the theatre and behind the scenes. There’s an English language tour that lasts 2 hours and costs around $300 for a group of up to six.

GUM, a popular department store in Moscow

3. Luxury Shopping At GUM And TSUM

Russia’s main department store, GUM, has a stunning interior that is home to over 100 high-end boutiques, selling a variety of brands: from luxurious Dior to the more affordable Zara. Even if shopping is not on your Moscow to-do list GUM is still worth a visit; the glass-roofed arcade faces Red Square and offers a variety of classy eateries. TSUM, one of the biggest luxury malls in town, is right behind the Bolshoi and GUM. It’s an imposing building with lots of history, and worth a visit just for its design and its glass roof.

Christ the Savior Cathedral in Moscow

4. Christ The Savior Cathedral

This is one of Russia’s most visited cathedrals and is a newer addition to the gorgeous array of Muscovite cathedrals, but don’t let its young age fool you. After perestroika, in the early 90s, the revived Russian Orthodox Church was given permission to build a cathedral on this site. It did the location honors and built the largest temple of the Christian Orthodox Church. The façade is as grand as you’d expect, but it’s the inside that will mesmerize you, with its domes, gold, gorgeous paintings, and decor!

The cathedral is located just a few hundred feet away from the Kremlin and was the site of the infamous Pussy Riot protest against Putin back in 2012.

Pro Tip: Bring a shawl to cover your hair as is the local custom.

Gates at Gorky Park in Moscow

5. Gorky Park

Moscow’s premier green space, Gorky Park (Park Gor’kogo) is the city’s biggest and most famous park. There is entertainment on offer here for every taste, from outdoor dancing sessions to yoga classes, volleyball, ping-pong, rollerblading, and bike and boat rental in summer. In winter, half the park turns into a huge ice skating rink. Gorky Park is also home to an open-air movie theater and the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art. There is also Muzeon Art Park, a dynamic contemporary space with a unique collection of 700 sculptures. It is located right in front of Gorky Park.

6. Sparrow Hills Park

If you take a walk from Gorky Park, along the Moscow River embankment, you’ll end up in the city’s other legendary park, Sparrow Hills. Although the park doesn’t offer as many activities as its hip neighbor, it has a great panoramic view of the city

Pro Tip: You can take a free walking tour to all of the above attractions with an English-speaking guide.

River cruise in Moscow

7. River Cruising

One of the best ways to experience Moscow, and see all the famous landmarks, but from a different angle, is from the Moscow River. Take a river cruise. Avoid the tourist crowds. There are little nameless old boats that do the cruise, but if you are looking for a more luxurious experience take the Radisson Blu cruise and enjoy the sights with some good food and a glass of wine.

Moscow Metro station

8. Metro Hopping

Inaugurated in the 1930s, the Moscow Metro system is one of the oldest and most beautiful in the world. Started in Stalinist times, each station is a work of art in its own right. I’d recommend touring the stations between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. This way, you’ll be able to properly see it without the crowds. Ideally, I’d recommend taking a tour with a knowledgeable guide with GuruWalk, who will tell you stories of forgotten stations and how the history of the country is interconnected with the metro development. If going by yourself, then I definitely recommend checking out: Mayakovskaya, Ploschad Revolutsii, Kievskaya, Kropotkinskaya, Kurskaya, and Novoslobodskaya stations.

Visit the free Moscow Metro Museum: For real train enthusiasts, located in the southern vestibule of Sportivnaya station is a small free museum. Here you can take a peek into the driver’s cabin, see a collection of metro tokens from different cities, and see different models of a turnstile, traffic lights, escalator, and more.

Moscow State University at dusk

9. Moscow State University View

In his effort to create a grander Moscow, Stalin had seven skyscrapers built in different parts of town; they’re called the Seven Sisters. The largest of these buildings and the one with the best view is the main building of the Moscow State University. Although this is a little outside the city center, the view is more than worth it.

Izmailovsky Market in Moscow, Russia

10. Izmailovsky Market

Mostly known for the city’s largest flea market, the district of Izmaylovo is home to a maze of shops where you can get just about anything, from artisan crafts to traditional fur hats, handcrafted jewelry, fascinating Soviet memorabilia, and antiquities. It’s also one of Moscow’s largest green spaces. There are often no price tags, so be prepared to haggle a bit. Head to one of the market cafes for a warming mulled wine before continuing your shopping spree.

The History of Vodka Museum is found here, and the museum’s restaurant is the perfect place to sample various brands of the national drink.

Once you’ve covered the more touristy spots, Moscow still has plenty to offer, and the places below will also be full of locals! So for some local vibes, I would strongly recommend the spots below!

The skyscrapers of Moscow City

11. Moscow City

With a completely different vibe, Moscow City (also referred to as Moscow International Business Center) is like a mini Dubai, with lots of impressive tall glass buildings. Here is where you’ll find the best rooftops in towns, like Ruski Restaurant, the highest restaurant both in Moscow City and in Europe. Moscow City is great for crowd-free shopping and the best panoramic views of the city.

Art in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow

12. Tretyakov Gallery

Tretyakov Gallery started as the private collection of the Tretyakov brothers, who were 19th-century philanthropists. They gave their private collection to the government after their deaths. If there is just one museum you visit in Moscow, I recommend this one!

Tsaritsyno Museum Reserve, former residence of Catherine the Great

13. Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve

Tsaritsyno was a residence of Catherine the Great more than two centuries ago. It became derelict during the Soviet era but has now been fully renovated. With its opulently decorated buildings, gardens, meadows, and forests, Tsaritsyno Park is the perfect place for a green respite in Moscow.

Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve in Moscow

14. Kolomenskoye

A 10-minute metro ride from the city center is Kolomenskoe Museum-Reserve, where you can get an idea of what Russia looked like 200 years ago. You’ll find ancient churches (one dating back to the 16th century), the oldest garden in Moscow, and the wonderful fairytale wooden palace of Tsar Alexey Mikhailovich, father of Peter the Great.

Ostankino TV Tower in Moscow at night

15. Ostankino TV Tower

Built in 1967, Ostankino TV Tower was the tallest free-standing construction in the world at the time, it’s still the 8th tallest building in the world and the highest in Europe. It’s also the best observation deck, with a glass floor and 360-degree views. The speedy elevators take you 1,105 feet in next to no time.

Pro Tip: You need to book in advance; entrance is based on specific ticket times and the capacity is limited and only a certain number of tourists are allowed per day. Don’t forget your passport, you’ll need it to get through security.

The floating bridge of Zaryadye Park in Moscow

16. Zaryadye Park

Zaryadye is a newly opened, landscaped urban park so new you won’t find it in a lot of tour guides. The park is near Red Square and is divided into four climatic zones: forest, steppe, tundra, and floodplains, depicting the variety of climatic zones in Russia.

These last three suggestions are a little quirky, but all are really worth checking out.

17. Museum Of Soviet Arcade Games

Release your inner child playing on 66 arcade machines from the Soviet era! What a great way to spend a couple of hours when tired of visiting museums and palaces. The staff speaks excellent English and are happy to explain how the games work.

The rooftops of Moscow, Russia

18. Moscow Rooftop Tour

Take a 1-hour private Moscow rooftop tour with an experienced roofer. I can just about guarantee none of your friends will be able to say they’ve done it! For your comfort, I recommend wearing comfortable shoes. Take your camera, there are some amazing photo opportunities out there!

A pool at Sanduny Banya in Moscow

19. Sanduny Banya

This classical Russian bathhouse opened its doors in 1808 and is famous for combining traditional Russian banya services with luxurious interiors and service. If you enjoy spas and saunas, then you should experience a Russian bathhouse at least once in your life! Go with an open mind and hire a specialist to steam you as it’s meant to be done — by being beaten repeatedly with a besom (a leafy branch)! This is said to improve circulation, but is best done by a professional!

So there you have my list of things to do in Moscow. I could have gone on and on and on, but I didn’t want to try your patience! There are so many things to do in this vibrant city that you’ll definitely need to allocate several days for exploring.

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

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

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

7-day Moscow itinerary

Travel Itinerary For One Week in Moscow

Day 1 – red square and the kremlin.

Metro Station: Okhotny Ryad on Red Line.

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

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

To continue this Moscow itinerary, next you may want to go inside the Kremlin walls. This is the center of Russian political power and the president’s official residence. If you’re planning to pay Kremlin a visit do your best to visit Ivan the Great Bell Tower as well. Go there as early as possible to avoid crowds and get an incredible bird’s-eye view. There are a couple of museums that are available during designated visiting hours. Make sure to book your ticket online and avoid lines.

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

Metro Station: Kropotkinskaya on Red Line

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Travel Itinerary for One Week in Beijing

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

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

How I Planned My Trip to Vietnam

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

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

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

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

Metro Station: VDNKh on Orange Line

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

Moscow sights

Places to Visit in Barcelona That Aren’t Beaches

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

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

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

top things to do in Moscow

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

Day 5 – A Tour To Moscow Manor Houses

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

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

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

20 Travel Tips I’ve Learned From Travelling The World

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

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

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

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

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

How To Stop Procrastinating When Trip Planning

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

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

Day 6 – Explore the Golden Ring

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

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

Two Weeks In Thailand: The Perfect 14-Day Itinerary

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

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

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

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

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

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

How to Save Money While Traveling in Europe

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

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

Conclusion and Recommendations

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

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

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

What Counties in Idaho Allow Tiny Houses – Rules & Regulations You Need To Consider

Idaho

Since Idaho has embraced the International Residential Code’s Appendix Q, which establishes guidelines for tiny houses, it is among the states in the union most accommodating to tiny homes. However, this does not imply that you may construct or leave your little house parked wherever you are in the state.

The regulations and policies of the many counties and cities in Idaho might impact your small home project. This post will discuss which Idaho counties permit small homes, the factors to consider before constructing one, and where to buy a tiny home .

Can You Make a Tiny House in Idaho Your Main Residence?

Yes, if you fulfill the building standards, tiny houses that fall within the site-built, modular, or manufactured housing categories may be used as permanent residences in Idaho. However, you can reside in an RV home for 60 days in some counties. After the 60-day mark, you will obtain a daily residency permit.

Tiny House Prices in Idaho

Living in a tiny house is an excellent way to lessen your impact on the environment, cut down on maintenance and utility bills, and simplify your life—all without sacrificing any of your life pleasures. Check out tiny houses in Idaho:

It has a large cooking space and a nice living room. With cubby and cabinet storage areas around, this tiny home has more storage possibilities than any other model, plus a spacious bathroom. This tiny house RV is perfect for anybody looking for a fantastic place to spend time with family or unwind. It has a price of $67,950.00.

Clear Creek

It has a large U-shaped kitchen and a roomy living and dining area. Also, it features a movable sofa bed and two separate sleeping lofts. Its cost is $73,450.00.

This model is ideal for anyone seeking a spacious, tiny home with a compact footprint, plenty of space for numerous bedrooms, three slide-outs, and many full-size appliances. It has a value of $91,250.00.

What Counties in Idaho Allow Tiny Houses?

Because each county is allowed to modify the current state building rules to meet the unique demands of the area, there are differences between the many variants of the building regulations.

Gem County is especially welcoming to those who own mobile small houses. To deal with the surge of individuals who wish to live in their tiny house on wheels long-term, which is otherwise restricted by the state laws in Idaho, Gem County has created its code .

Although the county recognizes the necessity for autonomous, temporary dwelling quarters within the community, it supports main settlements within permanent structures. The requirements are:

  • Yard measurements: The yard still conforms to the measurements mandated by the zoning ordinance for newly constructed buildings within that specific zone.
  • Lot Area: The minimum lot area needed for new construction in that zone is the same as the lot area per household.
  • Floor size: Each housing unit has a floor size that is not less than what is needed for new construction in that zone.
  • Compliance: All other applicable codes and ordinances are complied with by the conversion.

The guidelines for residing in a mobile home, recreational vehicle, or tiny house on wheels apply to using an RV for more than 30 days as the principal dwelling on land is not part of a permitted RV or manufactured home park in Gem County. The following are some relevant points:

  • RVs may be the principal dwelling on the same property for a maximum of one year. If the RV is properly shielded from public view, the administrator may grant a one-year time extension.
  • Before using an RV as a place to live, any property owner who places an RV under this section must apply for an RV residence permit and pay the applicable price.
  • An enclosed structure cannot accommodate an RV used as the primary dwelling.
  • A new address will be given if there is not one already (unless the RV will remain there for less than 30 days).
  • The RV must use a wastewater system that the health department has authorized or deemed suitable.

Aiming to address the housing issue around Boise and other communities, Ada County put out a plan to overcome the limitations imposed by state legislation and increase accessibility to tiny homes for long-term residents.

The proposed program will fight state regulations that prohibit residents from permanently residing in a tiny house or a tiny house on wheels for the benefit of its members.

In theory, the pilot program would allow tiny homes to be placed in metropolitan neighborhoods, provide financial incentives to homeowners to construct supplementary dwelling units that they could rent out for reasonable prices, and set up a home-sharing website that would pair up underprivileged tenants with hosts of spare rooms.

Idaho Tiny House Laws: Local Zoning Regulations

The International Residential Code (IRC) is the model for the nation’s municipal building regulations. Idaho has defined statewide standards for several types of small homes, even if local governments may have their ordinances and regulations related to tiny houses .

Moscow City

Furthermore, Moscow’s mobile home parks now permit small houses on wheels, and they enjoy year-round access to full-time connections.

Any homes built as modular structures are subject to inspection and must adhere to the One-and-Two-Family Dwelling Building Code. The City of Boise provides permission for these modular homes constructed on a foundation on the property. A building permit and plan review permission are necessary for any auxiliary construction or additions built on the property.

Garden City

The community organizes actions to improve Garden City as a welcoming place for small home enthusiasts. In two of the city’s zoning areas where small house occupancy was previously prohibited, the city modified its tight zoning law to permit tiny dwellings.

1. Site Built

It is a structure built on the site of its intended function. It is not meant or made to be relocated.

2. Manufactured Home

Constructed to be 40 feet or longer, transportable, meet HUD manufactured house building and safety requirements, and intended for use as a residence with or without a permanent foundation, it must be subject to inspections.

3. Modular Buildings

A closed structure is partially or fully prefabricated or built somewhere other than the building site is referred to as a modular house, except for manufactured homes.

As well as modular homes, manufactured homes need building permits, and plan review permission is necessary for any auxiliary constructions and additions constructed on the property.

Tiny House Regulations And Rules In Idaho

The laws and guidelines were modified to better suit the homes in each county. According to Appendix Q of the International Residential Code, a tiny house in Idaho is typically less than 400 square feet. The minimal floor size required for a tiny house in the state is 150 square feet. 

Permanent Structure Rules

A floor level used for living or sleeping that is more than thirty inches above the main floor, open to it on one or more sides, and has a ceiling lower than six feet eight inches.

  • Minimum Size and Measurements

Lofts must have a minimum floor size of 35 square feet and a minimum horizontal dimension of 5 feet.

  • Effect of Height on Loft Area

A portion of the loft cannot be included toward the minimum needed size of the loft if it has a sloping ceiling and is less than three feet from the completed floor to the finished ceiling.

A small home’s habitable areas and passageways must have ceilings that are at least 6 feet 8 inches high. For example, the ceiling height of restrooms, toilets, and kitchens.

Emergency Escape

Tiny homes must follow Emergency Escape and Rescue Openings.

  • Windows for Egress Roof Access

If the egress roof access window meets the minimum opening area criteria, it must be built so that the bottom of the aperture is no higher than 44 inches above the loft floor.

Temporary Structure Rules

Motor homes, fifth-wheel trailers, travel trailers, park model recreational vehicles, folding camping trailers, and truck campers are examples of recreational vehicles, according to the Division of Building Safety.

  • Owners of small houses on wheels must get the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) to obtain a permit.
  • According to the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) 1192 Standard for Recreational Vehicles, the mobile tiny home has to meet requirements.

Transitional Strucutre Rules

In areas of Idaho, tiny dwellings are the answer to the housing issue and homelessness. Even though the state has transitional projects, there are currently no regulations for transitional tiny home construction.

A scheme for transitory housing was proposed. The program’s goal was to construct small houses as possibilities for those in need of a place to live, including single mothers, veterans, and those in recovery from addictions. However, this program was rejected by the citizens.

In Idaho, Where Can I Build A Tiny House?

Follow the specific requirements of the county or city. A small house must have at least one acre of land when it is on private land. Your tiny home will be handled as a modular home if it is the only residence on the land. It could be constructed in:

  • Private properties
  • Tiny house communities

Tiny House Communities in Idaho

It’s a noteworthy state to live in and has its communities. Likewise, you can visit historic sites, recreational areas, archeological sites, natural preserves, volcanic parks, and plenty of lakes and woods for hiking and camping.

Valley Village RV Park

Towering pine trees, hammock areas, and the soothing sounds of nature surround this holiday sanctuary. The community rents out little homes and RV parking spaces.

River Landing Tiny Home Resort

There are six small home rentals for rent in River Landing Resort. Each of these 399-square-foot homes is situated directly on the lake. If you want to meet other small home occupants, there is a community gathering spot along the river that you may go to.

Tiny House Builders Near Me

Why dwell in the little town of Idaho? Geographically, the state offers a great deal. Throughout the state, rivers, mountains, and farming dominate the terrain. There are jagged mountains, sparkling lakes, broad plains, and lush green slopes around Idaho.

Idaho’s tiny living offers the best of both worlds: urban and rural lifestyles. You do not need to look for builders in your location because, with Great Lakes Tiny Homes, you can find the house of your dreams with its diverse models and nationwide shipping.

Furthermore, Great Lake Tiny Homes is a part of the RV Industry Association (RVIA). This certification is living proof of high production standards and compliance with safety, building, and legal regulations for tiny houses.

Do I Need a Certified Builder?

Yes, you need an RVIA, but what is it? The acronym for Recreational Vehicle Industry Association is a certification indicating that the house satisfies fire, plumbing, electrical, building, and heating safety standards.

Your tiny house demonstrates it satisfies industrial safety requirements with the RVIA mark.

Recognition and acceptance

All parties involved recognize and accept an RVIA-certified small house, such as zoning authorities, insurance companies, and financial institutions.

Because RVIA-certified tiny houses exceed safety and quality criteria, getting insurance coverage for them is easy.

In the same way, purchasing or developing a tiny house has more financing alternatives with the RVIA certification.

Nationwide Access

In any state where tiny houses are permitted, homeowners can construct RVIA-certified homes. The RVIA seal assures zoning and construction code compliance.

Resale Value

Because of these benefits, potential customers could be more likely to purchase an RVIA-certified tiny house.

Note: Only manufacturers with permits, like Great Lake Tiny Homes from the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA), can build approved tiny homes.

What Is the Size of a Tiny House’s Kitchen?

While tiny houses are modest by nature, some are considerably smaller than others. In these situations, a small kitchen of 30 to 50 square feet might be adequate. However, you might go for 60 to 70 square feet if your home has enough room for you to grow.

Should I Consider A Strong Foundation?

A solid foundation is considered while building a small house in Idaho. Firstly, you decide if you want the house to be movable. For this reason, most tiny houses are built on travel trailers, in addition to the legal issues surrounding small dwellings that were previously discussed. There are several ways to build tiny dwellings, such as on concrete slab foundations, post-and-beam, stilt, or skid foundations.

Why Are Idaho Tiny Homes So Popular?

Living in a little home in Idaho is fantastic. Farmland, mountains, and rivers dominate the natural scenery. Residents of Idaho love waking up to stunning scenery, a booming economy, and a wealth of recreational options.

Living small is a viable choice for people who wish to live frugally since municipal construction standards and zoning laws have been much more accommodating to smaller homes in recent years.

With the International Residential Code’s Appendix Q, which establishes guidelines for tiny dwellings, Idaho State presents options for those passionate about tiny houses. Nonetheless, some Idaho counties and cities have their own set of rules and regulations. Gem County, Ada County, Moscow, Boise, and Garden City are a few of the counties and localities that permit tiny homes.

Therefore, before purchasing or constructing your tiny house, do your research and confirm with the local authorities. You can take advantage of tiny living in Idaho by adhering to the laws and guidelines.
