Descripción
The Capital of Russian Federation, the political, scientific, historical, architectural and business center of Russia, Moscow displays the country’s contrasts at their most extreme. Since it was first mentioned in the chronicles of 1147, Moscow has played a vital role in Russian history. The new millennium has brought the town many transformational changes. Modern Moscow is the symbol of Russia combining the heroic past and the great future.
La ciudad se encuentra en el río Moskva en Rusia Central, con una población estimada en 12,4 millones de residentes dentro de los límites de la ciudad.
Moscow’s architecture is world-renowned. Moscow is the site of Saint Basil’s Cathedral, with its elegant onion domes, as well as the Cathedral of Christ the Savior and the Seven Sisters. The ensemble of the Moscow Kremlin and Red Square is a masterpiece of human creative genius and the main symbol of the country.
There is always something going on in Moscow: exhibitions, festivals, performances, excursions, concerts, quests, marathons… that attract tourists not only from Russia but also from all over the world.

Information
Currency
Rouble (RUB; symbol руб). Notes are in denominations of 5,000, 1,000, 500, 100 and 50. Coins are in denominations of 10, 5, 2 and 1.
Banking
Major European and international credit and debit cards, including Visa and MasterCard, are widely accepted. American Express cards are rarely accepted.
ATMs are widely available throughout Russia, although if you’re venturing into rural areas, they may be less widespread so carry a reserve amount of cash. Most ATMs will offer English as well as Cryllic translations.
Foreign currency should only be exchanged at official bureaux and authorised banks. You will usually need your passport to change money. It is wise to retain all exchange receipts. Bureaux de change are numerous and easy to locate. Large shops and hotels offer their own exchange facilities. All major currencies can be converted in big cities.
As you’d expect Russia’s climate is hugely dependent on where in the country you find yourself. With temperatures known to hit a tarmac-melting 37°C (99°F) in the cities and fall to -30°C (-22°F) and lower during the Siberian winter, there’s no point generalising about Russia’s weather except to say, be prepared.
While the notion of visiting a snow-blanketed Moscow or St Petersburg has a definite romance, most tourists prefer to come calling in the warm summer months of June, July and August. This means the shoulder seasons of April, May, September and October are good options for visitors keen to avoid the peak crowds – prices are generally lower from September to May, and tourist sites almost invariably less crowded.
Spring is often characterised by slushy roads. And if your heart’s set on that winter wonderland, December’s the best bet. Seasonal climates apply elsewhere in Russia – Siberia can have devastatingly cold winters, while its summers are generally fairly pleasant, if a little rainy. The region of Russia near the Black Sea has mild winters, but again attracts a fair amount of rain.
Those visiting over summer should pack a mixture of lightweight and mediumweight clothing – natural fibres such as cotton and linen are best. For the winter visitor, meanwhile – layers, layers, layers. Wools and cashmeres are great material for keeping in the warmth. Sturdy shoes are always a good idea, no matter what time of year.
Wi-Fi is available within most establishments in larger cities (although they may charge) and at internet cafes. Although Russia does not ostensibly censor the internet, there is an internet blacklist of sites which you will not be able to visit from inside Russia, which includes some independent news sites.
Electrical sockets in Russia are one of the two European standard electrical socket types: The “Type C” Europlug and the “Type E” and “Type F” Schuko. If your appliance’s plug doesn’t match the shape of these sockets, you will need a travel plug adapter in order to plug in.
Electrical sockets in Russia usually supply electricity at between 220 and 240 volts AC. If you’re plugging in an appliance that was built for 220-240 volt electrical input, or an appliance that is compatible with multiple voltages, then an adapter is all you need. If your appliances are not compatible with 220-240 volt electrical output, a voltage converter will be necessary
