Quick review of Red Square
Review of Red Square by
golpher-4
Red square 2008,
I did this as part of my travels through Russia and went to Red Square as the sun was setting in late June. The whole trip was worth it just for this. Magnificent to watch the sun set behind the buildins nd what made it better? All the lights came on to illuminate the square itself. Well worth seeing.

Red Square 2007 review
Review of Red Square by
zoetna
Advantages: Must be done if you are in Moscow
Disadvantages: Dont get caught out by the queue system
I visited Red Square in November 2007. The earlier review on this site seems to be completely out of date so I thought I would do an update for you.
Lenin's Mausoleum is a "done it, tick it off" sort of attraction. He does look like a waxwork and the d ...

Quick review of St Petersburg (Russia)
Review of St Petersburg (Russia) by
alfredebbers
I loved reading your experiences in Saint Petersburg. I fell in love with the city and it's people and even married my wife in this great place. It's truly an easy city visit compared to Moscow. The best thing is that the people from Saint Petersburg love their city and know it's history and even take their time to show you around!

Never More Than 10 Meters Away From Transport
Review of Getting around in Moscow by
nikitakou
Advantages: Anywhere In The City You'll Find A Way To Travel. Cheap.
Disadvantages: Not All Ways Are 100% Safe and Free Of Constant Traffic. Can Be Ripped Off As A Tourist
...and so many ways of getting from A to B. (Landmark to Hotel, I guess). Being in the centre certainly helps, that's naturally where most of the public transport is concentrated, but unfortunately so is the traffic. So, I will d ...
