Clean, cozy, atmopsheric. Free wifi. There are bunch of stores ranging from clothing shops to food chains. If you're near Dinamo, it's advisable to pay a visit to Arena.

Domodedovo Airport Station

Domodedovo City District • Train station

August 2025

Just to update international travellers like me who do not speak Russian and addicted to cigarettes: There's now a smoking room at the airport, it's near to the gate 8. They probably forgot to add that fact on the airport's website in English. So, don't worry and do not wait outside for no reason to smoke.

Aeroexpress

Domodedovo City District • Transport ticket machine

August 2025

I boarded the Aeroexpress at Paveletsky Station to Domodedevo. The attendant there told me I could pay with my Troika card. The same thing was said online. So I didn't bother buying a separate ticket, because I already had 650 rubles in my Troika. But I couldn't pay with my Troika when I arrive at Domodedevo Airport. And I was stuck between the trains and the barriers. What was more terrible that I had no rubles left and because of the sanctions I could not use my credit cart. When I asked the Aeroexpress attendant at the airport for help, he did nothing but shout in Russian, "I don't work for the Troika!" Fortunately, someone else, extremely kind and hospitable, helped me buy a ticket. Or rather, he generously gave me a ticket as a gift. I was deeply embarrassed. Next time, I'll take either the bus or the suburban train. Aeroexpress is unquestionably a comfortable option to reach the city centre from the airport and vice versa, but if you are not in a rush, there's no need to pay that much, and also there's no need to stress over your payment method.

Dastarkhan

Moscow • Restaurant

August 2025

The reviews had me a little worried, but I received excellent service at a very busy time of day. The beshparmak was delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive!

The State Tretyakov Gallery, New Tretyakov

Moscow • Museum

August 2025

You have to visit its exhibiton, and then enjoy the Muzeon Park. The name "Tretyakov" never fails. I'm not "very" much into painting, let alone the modern one, but it's still very satisfying experience.

Russian State Library

Moscow • Library

August 2025

Such a cozy atmosphere! Lots of young people around, and if you walk around the library during a weekend night, you can come across some pretty good live music performances as well!

ZIL

Moscow • Jetty

August 2025

I boarded line 3 from this pier. The journey was very pleasant. The electric ferries are quite clean, comfortable, and offer a pleasant travel experience. The price is 100 rubles more on weekends. I'm so glad I got to explore the Moscow River on this much more refined vehicle, rather than on a touristy, loud boat. It was rather confusing to get here from ZIL metro station, tough - I wish there were some other stations easier to access.

Muzeon Art Park

Moscow • Park

August 2025

Charming, relaxing place with a lot of "Leninception" statues! Love it!

Novodevichye kladbishche

Moscow • Cemetery

August 2025

Where else in the world are the dead gathered, as if in a parade of stars? Unfortunately, being a foreigner, I don't know many people who, except for the most famous, continue their eternal sleep here. But it's still fascinating to see all the writers you admire, names you know from history, or people you don't know but whose magnificent tombstones you admire. One of Turkey's, my country's, greatest poets, Nazim Hikmet, too, lies here.

Monument to Conquerors of Space

Moscow • Monument, memorial

August 2025

What a beautiful and magnificent monument. Mankind's daring journey into space, into the depths of the unknown, and how this was made possible by the efforts of the working classes, are so beautifully depicted. If you're in Moscow, you'll definitely want to visit VDNKh -- then be sure to stop by.
