Topas Travel

Established in 1973, Topas Travel is a Danish company that seeks to offer authentic tourism experiences off the beaten track. With adventure, sustainability and cultural sensitivity at its core, Topas Travel is for those wishing to leave the crowds of mass tourism behind and discover the real culture and people of the places they visit.

Topas Travel expanded into Vietnam in the early 1990s, beginning with treks in the mountains organised with a local family in the Sapa region. 

Today, Topas Travel in Vietnam provides tours and treks throughout the country geared towards authenticity and lodgings that favour a unique and somewhat rustic experience over luxury, aiming to bring visitors closer to the real Vietnam and its people.

From Vietnam’s ‘rice bowl’ the Mekong Delta, to the majestic mountains in the far north of Vietnam, our tours bring visitors closer to the country’s breathtaking natural scenery and diverse communities of people each with their own culture. 

Whether you are hiking, kayaking or mountain biking deep into the countryside, staying with a local family in a small village away from the tourist hubs or taking a day trip to discover a little-visited village, we aim to give you an experience that is both active and unique.

Your Vietnam Journey

On your journey around Vietnam you will see references to French colonial times, Japanese / German domination, the Vietnam War, and of course, early dynasties. Similarly, culture and Vietnamese food are an important and natural part of a trip to Vietnam. You will find everything from old temples to new local coffee shops, and the Vietnamese street kitchen offers freshly prepared dishes such as Cha Ca, fresh spring rolls or Pho soup.

Topas has traveled to Vietnam for almost 30 years. We long ago fell for the beautiful country and its people, and therefore formed our own offices in Hanoi and Sapa, built several lodges as well as our own transport company. Your Vietnam travel is therefore characterized by professionalism, local knowledge and quality. When you travel to Vietnam with us, you can expect us to take you away from the highway of tourism, you will be guided to local markets, led by new paths and cruises in waters where others rarely come.

Our team of both Vietnamese and Danish Topas employees are passionate about giving you a buzzing travel adventure on your holiday in Vietnam.

Din Vietnamrejse

Topas har rejst til Vietnam i snart 30 år. Vi faldt for længst for det smukke land og dets befolkning, og dannede derfor vores egne kontorer i Hanoi og Sapa, byggede flere lodges samt eget transportselskab. Din rejse til Vietnam er derfor præget af professionalisme, lokalt kendskab og kvalitet.

På din rejse rundt i Vietnam vil du se referencer til den franske kolonitid, japansk/tysk dominans, Vietnamkrigen og selvfølgelige tidlige tiders dynastier. På samme vis er kultur og vietnamesisk mad en vigtig og naturlig del af en rejse til Vietnam. Du møder alt fra gamle templer til nye lokale kaffebarer, og det vietnamesiske gadekøkken byder på frisklavede retter som Cha Ca, friske forårsruller eller Pho suppe.

Vores hold af både vietnamesiske og danske Topas-ansatte brænder for at give dig et spænde rejseeventyr på din ferie i Vietnam.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål om rejser til Vietnam

Finder du ikke svaret på dit spørgsmål herunder, er du altid velkommen til at kontakt os .

Det bedste tidspunkt at besøge Vietnam afhænger af hvilke områder af landet, du planlægger at udforske, og hvilken slags vejr og aktiviteter du foretrækker. Generelt er den bedste rejsetid fra november til april, hvor det meste af landet oplever tørt og behageligt vejr. I denne periode kan du nyde solrige dage og behagelige temperaturer, især i den nordlige og centrale del af landet.

Vietnam er generelt et overkommeligt rejsemål, hvor rejsende kan få god værdi for deres penge. Priserne varierer afhængigt af komfortniveau og område, men budgetvenlige muligheder er let tilgængelige. 

Du er altid velkommen til at kontakte os for et uforpligtende tilbud

For at spare penge anbefales det at rejse uden for højsæsonen, der strækker sig fra december til februar. I denne periode er vejret i det nordlige Vietnam køligt og behageligt, og priserne på overnatning og aktiviteter er ofte lavere. At besøge landet i lavsæsonen kan være en økonomisk fordelagtig mulighed for rejsende, der ønsker at opleve Vietnam uden at sprænge budgettet.

Som dansk statsborger kan man rejse visumfrit til Vietnam ved ophold op til 45 dage. Dit pas skal være gyldigt i 6 måneder ved indrejse og din flybillet skal tydeligt vise, at din hjemrejse er planlagt til senest 45 dage efter ankomst.

Skal du opholde dig i Vietnam 45-90 dage, skal du søge visum. 

Du kan læse mere om Visumreglerne i Vietnam her

Fra Danmark til Vietnam er der cirka 16 timers aktiv flyvning. Det er ikke muligt at flyve direkte til Vietnam fra Danmark, så den samlede rejsetid afhænger af ens mellemlanding(er).

Topas Travel

Topas Travel kommer til spændende rejsemål, de andre ikke gør

Topas Travel skriver om sig selv. “I dag har vi mere komfort og sikkerhed på vores rejser end da vi begyndte i 1973. Men vores grundprincip om at søge eventyret er stadig det samme. Vi stræber efter at komme steder i hele verden, hvor andre ikke kommer, med fokus på de gode og aktive oplevelser i fællesskab med de andre gæster i gruppen og vores lokale samarbejdspartnere.

• Bæredygtig turisme er for os ikke bare et modeord.
• Vi arbejder seriøst med det på alle vores ture ved at benytte lokale samarbejdspartnere og mindre familiedrevne restauranter og overnatningssteder, eksempelvis på Topas Ecolodge i Vietnam, hvor mange af de ansatte er lokale stammefolk.

Desuden tilbyder vi oftest rejser med

• Dansktalende turledere, uddannet hos Topas
• Små grupper på typisk 15-20 deltagere
• Varierende sværhedsgrader fra let til udfordrende
• Lokale smage og egnsretter”

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

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

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

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

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

The Best Things to Do in Moscow

1. explore the red square.

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

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

2. Check Out the Ziferblat

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

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

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

3. Marvel at St. Basil’s Cathedral

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

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

4. Explore the Kremlin

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

5. Walk Through Lenin’s Mausoleum

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

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

6. Wander Along Arbat Street

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

7. Catch a Show at the Bolshoi Theatre

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

8. Visit the State Historical Museum

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

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

9. Wander Around GUM

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

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

10. Admire the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour

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

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

How to Get to Moscow

Flying to moscow.

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

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

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

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

READ OUR CHEAT SHEET

Train or Bus to Moscow

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

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

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

How to Get Around Moscow

METRO | TROLLEYS | TRAMS | BUSES

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

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

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

But wait; there’s more!

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

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

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

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

How Many Days Do You Need in Moscow?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Is Moscow Safe to Visit?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Is Moscow Worth Visiting?

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

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

That’s all we have for you about Moscow! I hope this post was helpful as you plan your trip to Russia’s capital.

That is what inspires us to put even more dedication and hard work into our tours, knowing that what we do is positive and meaningful.

Our classic tours include tours of Moscow and Saint Petersburg, two main Russian cities.

Moscow is a big and busy  megalopolis and Russia’s capital city, where more than 12 million people live and work. Our capital city is happening place; it is mysterious, elegant, luxurious, fashionable, clean and bright, with its unique legends, traditions and events. It is with great pride that we show the Red Square and the Kremlin, our Underground and Tretyakovskaya Gallery, among other stunning attractions.

Saint Petersburg is our second capital,  the second largest city in the Russian Federation. This wonderful city has a strong and lively aristocratic spirit, uniquely Russian royal architecture, magnificent museums and theatres. Saint Petersburg bears the royal heritage of Russia, which can be felt in its air, its streets, parks, monuments, museums and citizens.  In Saint Petersburg tours, we will take you to the Hermitage, Peter and Paul Fortress, Faberge Museum and Orthodox Cathedrals. We’re sure you will love it!

If you have a few more days to spare, venture into the dreamy Russian countryside in Suzdal or Sergiev Posad. Suzdal is a small town with a population of about ten thousand people, situated on less than 15 square kilometres. This tiny area is home to 53 historic cathedrals, five monasteries and a kremlin. Church domes are visible like mushrooms from anywhere and everywhere in the town like in a fairy tale. No wonder Suzdal is called the ‘Town Museum”.  It is definitely worth visiting!

Just try any of Visit Moscow Tours’ tour packages or any individual city tour, and we promise that you will want to come back to Russia again.  Russia is huge with countless amazing places to visit. There are so many unique experiences to be had and energies to be felt that one tour is definitely not enough to explore this vast land.

Our guides will show you the most interesting attractions and historical places, taking you on a journey to the past to enjoy stories of medieval times, the Romanov monarchy, the Soviet Era. And of course, we will show you the contemporary life of our country through authentic local experiences.

We look forward to meeting you soon!
