Moscow - Russia / View learning centers

As student, the best time to enjoy Moscow would be during early spring till mid autumn (May - November).

Moscow Metro: It is easy to use it, although there are no signs in English. As you can see on the Moscow metro map all the lines have its own color.

There is a ring-line (brown) which has crossings with all other radial lines. Metro entrances are marked with a large red letter "M".

The open hours are from 5.20 a.m. to 1.00 a.m. Usually the last train starts its way at 00.50 from the last station at any line; the passes between stations are closed at 1.00 am. When there're rush hours (8.00-9.00, 17.00-19.00) the metro is overcrowded, so it's better to avoid it.

The metro has no special zones - all the metro is one zone, and there's no time limit for using your ticket. You can buy a ticket for 28R ($1) for one trip and spend as much time inside as you like. You can also save money and buy tickets for 5, 10 or 20 trips – they are less expensive. If you don't pay, then you'll have to pay around $50 fine.

Buses, trolleys and trams: The bus stops are yellow plates marked with "A" signs, trolleys' - white plates with "T" and trams' with "Tp". There are no night buses or trolleys or trams. If you're late, you can only take a taxi.

Prices are the same for buses, trolleys and trams, one trip costs 28 R ($1). You can buy them from the driver directly, in metro stations, or from the kiosks located near the busier bus stops. 

People are encouraged to enjoy the innumerable sights, events and activities which Moscow offers its visitors.  To immerse the environment and culture, visit:

The Kremlin: From medieval citadel to modern power centre, the Moscow Kremlin has played a dominant role in Russian life for over eight hundred years. 

The Red Square: Red Square remains, as it has been for centuries, the heart and soul of Russia. Few places in the world bear the weight of history to the extent that Moscow's central square does. From the 16th Century St. Basil's Cathedral - one of the most famous pieces of architecture in the world - to the constructivist pyramid of Lenin's Mausoleum, Red Square is rich in symbols of Russia's turbulent and intriguing past.

Museums and Galleries: In the Soviet era, Moscow was called the "world capital of museums". It's no surprise, considering that there are over a hundred very different museums open in the city, and each is unique in its own way. That's why anyone paying a visit to the Russian capital will be able to find something to satisfy their interests and passions.

GUM and TSUM: Are the largest, most over-the-top shopping malls in Moscow.  GUM faces Red Square; TSUM is across the street, just opposite Karl Marx Place.

Parks and Gardens: Moscow is famous as one of the greenest capitals in the world, with over 100 parks within the city limits, not to mention countless gardens, boulevards and squares.
