Russia by Coach
Review of Moscow (Russia) by golpher-4

Advantages: No waiting, parking, no airports, no lost baggage
Disadvantages: Need early morning starts sometimes due to length of journey

This year we both decided to travel to Russia from the IK via Shearings travel. I would recommend this trip to anyone. Use their luxory Gold Voyager service and get the best. All hotels on route were more than satisfactory but do not expect the English br ... Read review

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.

A slight variation to the Trans- Sib
Review of Trans-Siberian Railway (Russia) by alimason

Advantages: great scenery, meet new people, chance to relax
Disadvantages: not good for those short on time

Although this review comes under the heading of 'the trans-siberian' i am writing about the 'trans-mongolian' a slightly different route and one that i think is much better. It starts the same way in Moscow, leaving every Tuesday evening shortly after 9pm ... Read review

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful time staying at the Hotel Izmailovo and I could not disagree more strongly with the previous review. The staff were lovely and the room was very comfortable. We will definitely go back to this hotel.

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 The earlier review on this site seems to be completely out of date so I thought I would do an update for you.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 ... Read review

I enjoyed reading this, reminded me of my visit to Minsk. by ZoltanLouis
I'm sure there is so much more you could have added - the spectical of changing the guard, what about the rebuilt church in the corner of the square by Gym... and watch out for the trucks washing the pavement!! Larry by lazza123

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 ... Read review

Privet Nikita. Nice simple good advice for a visitor. I spent a month in Moscow and luckily (or not) lived 5 minutes walk from where I was walking, but going out I used either the Metro or unofficial taxis. Some of the metro stations really are stunning. Nothing like London! Poka, VB by Vodkaboy
