One of my favorites in Moscow. First the entrance is so grand and you feel you might be entering a palace. The park is so huge that’s it’s hard to cover all of it. There are walking areas, cycling areas, small stores for food, a fountain and we were fortunate to see a small musical show of it (see video), playing areas and more. One can totally spend a full day here.

I recently visited this park along the Moscow River in Russia, and it proved to be a delightful experience. While the park was undergoing renovations, limiting my exploration within, the stroll along the Moscow River more than made up for it. The serene ambiance and scenic views provided a soothing escape. I can only imagine how wonderful it will be once the renovations are complete. Definitely worth a visit, especially for the picturesque river walk!

Thanks to THE Scorpions song, I already knew its existence before that thought of visiting Russia back before 2016 It is a really big park with lots of gardens, activities, food stalls, concert areas, long lines of benches by the canal, jogging tracks, various plants trees and flowers and many more in store I was walking with my friend towards the sunset in spring and summer season and loving each and every step. Out of awareness, I walked from one Metro Station to the other, and the next one!! Well I wish it has more portable toilets but I think this park is a MUST visit for everyone I really want to come back here next year! See you real soon Gorky!

What a nice leisurely park. It is massive in size and clean. What makes it safer is it attracts a lot of tourists and localities. You may see military events happening there on special occasions. The park is popular among localities and tourists. You can spot bars and cafes. Floral beautification is incredible. You can find playing courts, lakes and enjoy boating there. The end of the Gorky park touches banks the Moskva river. The place is ideal for capturing some stunning views of Moscow city. I took a taxi from Christ the Saviour church to Gorky Park. It is a highly recommended place to visit.

Great place to spend a day. Lots of sport activities and charming places to rest. Full of history from Imperial and Soviet Era. Radisson river cruises are the great addition to excursion. 1000 rubles (about $15) will get get 2 and half hours of amazing river trip.

Red Square is a historic landmark in Moscow, Russia, known for its iconic sites such as the Kremlin, St. Basil's Cathedral, and Lenin's mausoleum. While there are paid attractions within the Kremlin complex, the surrounding area offers free exploration opportunities including Kazan Cathedral and Aleksandrovsky Garden with its enchanting fountains. Visitors can also stroll through GUM shopping center and witness the change of guards at the Eternal Flame.
The Heart of Moscow – A Must-See Landmark! Red Square is absolutely breathtaking and a must-visit for anyone coming to Moscow. Surrounded by iconic landmarks like St. Basil’s Cathedral, the Kremlin, Lenin’s Mausoleum, and the GUM department store, the square is rich in history and architectural beauty. The atmosphere is both grand and peaceful, especially in the evening when the buildings are beautifully lit. You can feel the weight of history here—from military parades to cultural celebrations. It’s also a great place for photos and just soaking in the energy of the city. Tip: Don’t miss the chance to grab a classic ice cream from GUM while enjoying the view—it’s a simple pleasure in a majestic setting!

Amazing Experience at Red Square, Moscow! Visiting Red Square was truly an unforgettable experience! The atmosphere is full of history, culture, and beauty. Standing in the heart of Moscow, surrounded by the stunning Saint Basil’s Cathedral, the Kremlin walls, and the State Historical Museum, felt like stepping into a living postcard. The architecture is breathtaking, especially at sunset when the lights make the whole square glow beautifully. Everything is so clean, organized, and well-maintained. Street performers, local cafes, and friendly people add to the lively vibe. It’s not just a tourist spot — it’s the soul of Russia, where the past and present meet. I would highly recommend everyone to visit Red Square at least once in their lifetime!

The very heart of the city is a must visit - it’s alongside the Kremlin and comprises other interesting buildings like Gum, the Kremlin, St Basil’s Cathedral, Lenin’s mausoleum etc. There are sights to see and places to eat. You can spend the entire day here.

Walking through Red Square is an experience that goes beyond simple sightseeing; it is truly where the grandeur of Russian history and architecture culminates. The moment you step in, you are struck by the imposing red walls of the Kremlin on one side and the colorful, onion-shaped domes of St. Basil’s Cathedral on the other. The cathedral’s architecture is so vibrant and whimsical that it looks like something out of a fairytale, making every angle a postcard-perfect shot. I highly recommend visiting both during the day and at night. In the daylight, the intricate details and colors are stunning, while at night, the illuminations of the GUM department store and surrounding buildings create a magical, lively atmosphere perfect for an evening stroll. The square is vast with historic cobblestones, which add to the charm, but I strongly suggest wearing comfortable walking shoes to fully enjoy the walk. Access via the metro is very easy, and although it’s usually busy, the sheer size of the square prevents it from feeling too crowded. Visiting the beating heart of Moscow is an absolute must.

The Bolshoi Theatre is a lavish neoclassical repertory theater in Moscow, Russia, renowned for hosting the world-famous Bolshoi Ballet and Bolshoi Opera. While visiting Moscow, it's essential to explore iconic landmarks like the Kremlin and St. Basil's Cathedral. The area around Red Square offers significant points of interest, including the grand GUM department store and panoramic views from the Children's World department store rooftop.
I had the chance to attend a theatrical play at the Bolshoi Theatre, and it was an unforgettable experience. The venue itself is majestic, full of history and elegance. The atmosphere, the staging, the actors’ performances—everything was of exceptional quality. It was truly a privilege to witness such a moment in such an iconic theatre.
Fayçal S — Google review
I’ve just been there to watch Marco Spada ballet. Everything was fine, I could easily buy a ticket on spot a day before the show and the woman could speak English very well so it was convenient. The theater itself is very unique and beautiful, the show was very good. Staff were friendly and tried to help me which I appreciate. The only problem I had and that’s why I’m not giving it a 5 star was the uncomfortable chair. For a 3 hour show and for about 10000 RUB money I paid for the ticket, I expect to sit on a comfortable chair, the back was solid wood and it was really irritating. I hope they do something about these chairs.

They rent binoculars for the performance, but I recommend bringing your own if you can. Tickets are on the pricier side for Russia, you're partly paying for the prestige of the theater. In other cities, you can often see great ballet for much less.

I only gave it two starts because the play was absolutely phenomenal. Art deserved to be appreciated. However, I was cheated on the amount I have paid when I have received a ticket that states an amount of 20k rubel (which I have paid 29k rubel). When I have asked for a partial refund since this is not the deserved amount, they simply decided to blame the service fee (almost 155%). Beats me, can’t do anything since I’m only a tourist right? Beware when purchasing tickets.
F - — Google review
A masterpiece of opulence and history, but also a test of patience. The Bolshoi Theatre is breathtaking—ornate interiors, world-class performances, and that undeniable grandeur of Russian ballet and opera. But be prepared: the ticketing process can be a maze, staff aren’t exactly overflowing with warmth, and if you’re in the cheaper seats, expect some “creative” sightlines. Still, once the curtain rises, all is forgiven. An absolute must-visit, even if just to say you’ve been.

St. Basil's Cathedral, also known as Pokrovsky Cathedral or The Cathedral of Intercession of the Virgin by the Moat, is a 16th-century former cathedral located in Red Square, Moscow. It now houses a museum of the church and is recognized for its multicolored domes that create a unique and vibrant appearance.
Visited St Basils Cathedral in March. It was our first visit to Russia, very much loved the country and the citizens. They were warm and helpful. Our first day was to Saint Basils Cathedral. Felt surreal by the very first look. The climate was good hence we were able to take a walk around as well. This place is a must visit

Located at Red Square Moscow, St. Basils Cathedral is a not to be missed place in Moscow. I would say that this place has an iconic value in Moscow. The beautiful architecture and colorful combination of the exterior of the building has no match.

How can one skip visiting one of Moscow’s most iconic landmarks? Before learning its true name, I used to think of it as the “Tetris building.” The kaleidoscopic exterior, crowned with its whimsical onion domes of irregular shapes, is truly mesmerizing. Inside, the chambers are adorned with centuries-old church icons. An absolute must-visit.

Visiting St. Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow was honestly a dream come true for me. I always imagined taking a photo standing right in front of this colourful and iconic cathedral, and finally being there in real life felt unreal. The moment I saw it with my own eyes, I got so excited because it looked exactly like the picture I had in my mind for so long. The cathedral is even more beautiful in person with its vibrant colours, unique onion domes, and detailed designs. It truly stands out in Red Square and feels like something from a fairytale. I walked around the area, took so many photos, and just enjoyed the view from every angle. It’s one of those places that gives you that “wow” feeling the moment you step close. For me, this was one of the most special moments of my trip, finally standing in front of the cathedral I always dreamed of. A must-visit when you’re in Moscow!

Located at the Red Square. St. Basil's Cathedral was built in 1555-1561 by the order of tsar Ivan the Terrible in honor of the victory of the Russian army over the Kazan Khanate. Its 16th-20th centuries interiors kept preserved. The vaults and walls of the cathedral was are richly decorated with murals, precious gifts of the royal family members are kept in the former sacristy. Wall paintings and church icons tells about the wonderful miracles of the Saint.

One of nice things to see, dont miss it if you are there and not coming back to Mosco. Entrance is 2000 rubles, bit expensive for a foreigner compared to locals. Worth to see. If you have any an elderly person, be careful as there is a very narrow and high steeped stair to go to second floor.

The Moscow Kremlin, also known as The Kremlin, is a massive fortified complex located in the heart of Moscow. Originally built as the tsar's residence, it now serves as the official residence of the President of the Russian Federation. This historic site houses ancient churches used for royal ceremonies and various museums showcasing Russian state regalia and art. Visiting requires careful planning due to ticket logistics and entry requirements, but exploring over five centuries of history within its walls makes it all worthwhile.
A must visit place in Moscow having rich history and architectural value. It was great from outside as well but we took an inside tour as well. Inside there very many beautiful churches even dating back to 13th century. The churches have beautiful hand painted art on its walls and roof.
Zafar K — Google review
Beautiful place with a rich history, energized atmosphere, and incredible architecture. Highly recommend the tour of the inside of the Kremlin, where you can visit cathedrals dating back to the 13th century. Great place to be anytime during the day, but especially at night! (I would also advise making a stop at the eternal flame, which honors the loss of soldiers' lives in WWII).

The restaurant's ambiance is designed to recreate the atmosphere of a 19th-century nobleman's house, complete with formal service and a menu that reflects traditional Russian dishes.

SAVVA, located within the Hotel Metropol in Moscow, is a sophisticated restaurant offering international and French cuisine in an elegant setting. The restaurant's Great Hall, adorned with a stunning golden ceiling and designed by artist Sergei Chekhonin, provides a lavish backdrop for indulging in a 2000 rubles buffet breakfast or enjoying bottomless caviar alongside exquisite dishes. Named after Russian philanthropist Savva Mamontov, SAVVA seamlessly blends historical charm with contemporary culinary creativity.
Savva is an exceptional fine dining experience, and it’s no wonder it has earned a Michelin star and the title of “Best Restaurant of the Year.” From start to finish, everything about this place impressed me. The service was impeccable—staff members were attentive, professional, and genuinely warm, making the entire evening feel special. The cuisine is a true showcase of creativity and mastery. Among the appetizers, the Olivier and Mimosa salads were elevated to a whole new level, and the marinated mushrooms were perfectly balanced in flavor. For the main course, the fish was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. However, the highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the desserts. The mushroom ice cream was a fascinating and delightful surprise, paired with a delicate pastry that was creatively shaped like a snowman, adorned with marshmallow accents. It was not just delicious but also a visual masterpiece. Savva is a culinary gem, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience. This restaurant truly deserves all the accolades it has received!

Unfortunately, we expected more… When we first got there the hosts told us that our table was booked on a different day, however we reserved it earlier the same day and made sure that reservation info is right a few times. Restaurant was 1/4 busy if not less, so we got a table on the second floor anyways. While ordering we got a problem because my partner wanted to get a Chef’s set and I chose meals from the menu, but apparently they can’t serve it at the same time. (Waitress told me that kitchen just won’t be able to do both menu and a set together, which was surprising). Waitress didn’t say a word in English so I had to translate everything myself which was unexpected from the restaurant like SAVVA with a Michelin star. Also, instead of receipt waitress got us a shot of vodka… Food from the menu was nice, however the set «FARM» was disappointing. Oh, and a dessert didn’t have the mushrooms in, even though it was written in the menu.

White Rabbit is an upscale European eatery located on the 16th floor under a glass dome, offering stunning views of the city skyline. The restaurant is known for its innovative Russian gastronomy, led by visionary chef Vladimir Mukhin. With a focus on reviving traditional Russian recipes through modern techniques and unexpected twists, White Rabbit has earned a spot among the world's best restaurants.
Currently not on the Michelin guide (I guess due to Sanctions) but was in 2022. Worth every penny. The beef tartare was the best I’ve ever had. From start to finish all I’ve tasted was exquisite.
Soykan D — Google review
White Rabbit | Moscow (A Chefs Perspective) This is an experience that I have waited to enjoy for quite some time, and I was not disappointed but have a very thorough review to match my personal experience (my wife was more than satisfied). 1) Service: (I did read previous reviews online while I was sitting at the table and I am sorry to say that I feel these were left in anger, and not in direct reflection of experience, if I am wrong, please correct me, discrimination is not acceptable, but based on previously reviewed comments, I hope this was a misconception based on a unique outcome or misunderstanding) We came here today for lunch without a reservation, and we're happily met at the door multiple times by very professional people and seated right away upon arrival. I believe we waited for 40 seconds or less, it seemed. Throughout the service, I was given an Englisu menu while we were offered many different chefs compliments. This was an outstanding factor, considering we ordered off the a la cartre menu and not the chefs tasting. The service was fast and precise, professional yet comfortable, and overall, and an extremely uplifting experience that left us both very satisfied. 2) Food: From the Amuse Bushe, to the main course, and then dessert, definitely Michelin Star Quality (perhaps worth a second star, it is shocking that the Michelin Guide took this restaurants star because of political issues in the world). We only ordered a main course and dessert each, but still, the chefs' courses and complimentary dishes kept coming. Fresh baked bread and butter, scallops w/ seasonal morals, unexpected sweet surprises, and the dishes we paid for... WOW, the volume of food, the absolutely brilliant quality, combined with the creativity and journey we were gifted, a memorable food experience that was 100% exceptional and delicious. 3) Atmosphere & Price: This was a comfortable restaurant that offered a romantic (1st time) dining experience for my wife and I. We were able to have a beautiful conversation the whole experience while not being interrupted unexpectedly or disturbed outside of the times that we needed service. When we reviewed the bill from everything we enjoyed, we were happy to pay, along with leaving a comfortable 10% tip for the service. There really was nothing wrong with the atmosphere or price at all. 4) Extras: Extra food, a Michelin Guide Plaque, perfume, vodka... There are too many extras that came with the experience we were expecting. The staff were happy to introduce to us an amazing set of perfumes and extra experiences that White Rabbit offered. They were paid for by both my wife and I yes, but more than worth the value of everything we had the pleasure of expecting (I will not give it away, you have to try, look and experience for yourself). 5) Cons (Very few, but very noticeable for me): I was offered an amercanio (based on the fact I spoke English), and of course, I wanted one. When it arrived, I had a delightful coffee with a spoon, but sadly, with no sugar or milk offered. I felt the spoon was pointless and lonely considering any americano should (and always had been offered with either sugar and/or milk) have had something to accompany it with. Spilling the scallop im my wife's place was tough to witness and loud nonetheless, but honestly, mistakes happen. It has to be mentioned but not taken seriously in the review. As I said, I am thorough, but this was an acceptable few mistakes in general (but reason for not being a perfect 5-star review), that people reading 5his should overlook. 6) Overall Experience: I say, a SOLID 9/10. I watch every aspect of restaurant and service in general, very precisely. This should not let you stray from visiting this restaurant as I know you will LOVE it, probably just as much as I did. The staff were friendly, respectful and professional, the food was exceptional with the presentation, and the atmosphere / experience i had with my wife was literally, almost perfect, which is not an easy standard to have in the global world of hospitality.

One of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had, at White Rabbit Restaurant! From the moment I walked in, I felt that I am in (Alice in wonderland) I was welcomed with such warmth and hospitality. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making your visit special. Now let’s talk about the food… absolutely delicious! Every dish was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. You can really tell they use fresh, high-quality ingredients. I honestly didn’t want the meal to end! If you’re looking for a spot with a cozy atmosphere, outstanding service, and food that will leave you dreaming about your next visit — this is it. Highly recommended! 💯

The restaurant requires a prior reservation, and we were not informed that there is a minimum charge of 8,000 rubles per person, in addition to a 15% service fee. The most important advice: do not go to the restaurant hungry, as the food portions are laughably small — not even enough for a child. The prices are extremely high, and while the food quality is somewhat good, it’s not exceptional. The service is friendly, but despite having a reservation, our table was placed next to the kitchen door and far from the scenic view. Overall, I do not recommend this restaurant.

We had a dinner yesterday, we had the tasting menu. Some of the courses wasn’t at the level of this restaurant(1 star in the Michelin and the 50 best before the sanctions). Such as makenka with sunflower hummus was not worth it, juste raw vegetables with hummus. The okroshka was awesome like kulebyaka as well. For the service it wasn’t organized at all. My wife was style eating and the next course came to the table. We feel uncomfortable like we are too slow and we have to eat fast. That not what we want in this kind of restaurant. Then from the main course to the desserts we have to wait at least 15 min to be served So why rushing us from the 3 first courses and being late at the end ? We had a plate for the bread and a knife for the butter I think? We didn’t see any bread and butter during the testing menu while the others customers got some The waitress was really nice !! But you have to rethink and organized the service

This place was supposed to be my ne of the best fine dining restaurants in Moscow. However, the hostess chose to give us a table right by the kitchen door which was unacceptable for someone with a confirmed reservation. I had to argue for a long time and they refused to move us until later because I wasn’t going to sit there. Finally they showed us another table which was a bit better located. From then on, the food and waiters were amazing. Not sure if it’s worth trying again but the good was heavinly tbh. Just work on improving your hostesses attitude.

Severyane, which means "northerners" in reference to the Russian north, offers a unique dining experience beyond the typical tourist attractions of Moscow. The restaurant features a blend of traditional Russian cuisine with innovative twists, such as pike caviar on poached eggs and blinis with Russian pastrami. Despite its name, Severyane's connection to traditional Russian cuisine is mainly reflected in its large traditional oven.
My favorite spot in Moscow! The food and wine here are amazing. I had the ceviche and beef tartare—both were fantastic and paired perfectly with the wine.

What an amazing experience, super friendly staff, cool design starting from the entrance, walls, tables, kitchen, even the toilets, job well done. The food was something else, every dish was unique and tasted amazing, service was also great, I wish they open earlier.

Was a little difficult to find outside and once you walk in (through the curtain) you’re not greeted by a traditional welcome table. Kind of felt like I went through the wrong door (and to be fair, maybe I did haha). The wait staff are all very friendly. And give their honest opinion about the items on the menu, which was awesome and very helpful! The food was delicious! The pastrami and pita was so good. Also had the mixed veggie plate (which could be an entire meal on its own), the chicken, and the steak. All were excellently cooked and hit the spot. Delicious! The cocktails didn’t have much of a description as to what they were, but the waitress helped determine what we I like best, and she wasn’t wrong! Great spot and certainly a recommendation of mine for anyone going to Moscow!

It's a good place with delicious food. We had the best aubergine, eclair with crab which is great with cava and for main course we wolfed salmon steak with avocado 🤤 we have to learn how to eat slowly... they have draf sider which was good and fresh. I was there during the day and it's too dark so better to come here in evening.

It's a unique place with good vibes. Food is okay. I ordered chicken breast with mushrooms and my mom ordered soup and salmon. Salmon was undercooked as well as chicken breast. Desert is pretty good as well as coffee. Nice herbal tea with fir cones.

Music is way too loud for a place where you hope to have food on Sunday, I’ve ordered potatoes with mushrooms and all I could see and taste was a bunch of different sauces in my plate covering something what I would call undercooked potatoes. Chicken soup on the other hand was really something interesting with bunch of ginger and soy sauce, definitely try it. Expect small portions, high prices and a lot of people.

One of the best breakfasts I had in Moscow was in Severyane. Casual atmosphere but delicious food. The food is not only delicious but also creative. Service was friendly and attentive.

Highly recommended by me. meat and cutlets are the specialty of the house but not the only choices. The right spot for dinner and drinks with friends. For more experiences like this, follow @quiquinnv

This restaurant is a must when you visiting Moscow. Overlooking the red square. Perfect for dinner. There was no signboard to show the restaurant, or maybe they have because we cannot read Russian words, it is located in Moscow Hotel. Just hop into the main door and you are in the right direction.

After a long day exploring Moscow, this was a great moment to unwind. The restaurant is right in the red square/ tourist zone. It was a great experience. The food was very good, especially the salad and the dessert. I have had much better oysters though. The duck was pretty good too. My waiter was genuinely kind. I really liked that I didn’t sense any pretentiousness. Very affordable too, for this kind of restaurant.

One of the top addresses for a nice dinner in Moscow. Food is impeccable, the service extremely forthcoming and friendly, well-mannered, and the atmosphere with the view is impressive. Among my top 3 in Moscow.

The food was good but the portions were small. It is one of the elite places to eat. If you have a budget of 80 to 100 dollars, go there. Service is excellent.

Loved the food here, everything is exquisite! My friends and I did the caviar tasting, both red and black, it was wonderful! Had 3 different dishes, they were all great. The service, the vibe and the view were incredible. Highly recommend the Russian wines as well, they are very good! We had a bottle of Russian pinot noir, everybody liked it a lot.

Beluga offers Russian food with style. This is fine dining, the menu comprises of several caviar based foods combined Russian classics. Good selection of spirits and wines available. Great English speaking service from the front desk to waiters and cloakroom. A warm recommendation.

Excellent food, their pelmeni are divine! Speaking of the service, I'd give it 8 out of 10, the staff is knowledgeable, but lacking in personal touch, a bit robotic, albeit the place was empty and they had all the time in the world to enhance their guest's experience. I believe that combined with the lighting and music made us feel that the place has no vibe, which is a shame: the interior design and its details are mesmerising. Indulged ourselves with some caviar and champagne too, always a great combo.
