Best Places to See in Moscow: Architectural Gems

I first visited Moscow in the summer of 2008: I went there to work, and we lived really far from the city center. I admit, I did not like Moscow at all: I hated those high grey buildings that were hanging over me, I felt that there was no space to breathe freely. Crowds of people hurrying somewhere all the time, always gloomy and sulky… This image of Moscow had always been in my mind until I visited it this summer. You know, Moscow is incredible! And it was not Moscow that changed, it was me 🙂 There are loads of amazing things to see and do in Moscow, but I want to show you here why it is not grey to me anymore. The cheerless buildings are still there, but this time I paid attention to the architectural gems of the city: Moscow can be bright and colorful, and I have proof 🙂 It really pays off being positive and searching for positive things 🙂 So, here they are, best places to see in Moscow!

Who knows, maybe, you will find here inspiration for your trip 🙂

I admit that this is just a small fraction of Moscow’s architectural landmarks, so I will keep updating it 🙂 Do you have any suggestions for my next visit?

Well, in any city you travel, you have to stay somewhere 🙂 When I search for accommodation, I always use two options: it is either AirBnB (click here for a discount on your first booking with AirBnB) or Booking.com.
