A tour in and around the famous Russian capital, led by two savvy former residents -- Includes information on excursions just outside Moscow, including the homes of Tolstoy, Tchaikovsky, and Pasternak; the Trinity Monastery of St. Sergius; St. Petersburg; and the Winter Palace Few other imperial cities in the world conjure up as many images: the onion domes of the Kremlin and Red Square, the old churches and monasteries, the world-renowned Bolshoy Theater. Today's Moscow is a rapidly changing city, a thriving center for both business and tourism. This guide shows the old and new from the insiders' perspective. Here are several fascinating walking tours through the city, with signage translated to English from the Russian Cyrillic alphabet. From Pushkin's apartment to the Church of the Ascension, from the Kremlin Museums to the Tretyakov Art Gallery, from St. Basil's Cathedral to the peaceful Alexander's Gardens, the authors point out hundreds of must-see sights and activities inside Moscow's famous rings and boulevards. Equally helpful, they give sound advice on inexpensive ways to get around the large and sometimes confusing city. More than 100 restaurants are reviewed and recommended (including which to avoid), along with theaters, nightclubs, concerts, opera, and other cultural activities that include a number of options for children. Travel-planning chapters with information on health and medical facilities, and background on Russian culture, people, and history round out this thorough, expert look at modern-day Moscow.
