Free Walking Tour
Moscow

Moscow is a sprawling city ideal for shopaholics, foodies, and museum lovers. Among the many activities that will fill your day of sightseeing in Moscow, we recommend you prioritize a visit to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where the Changing of the Guard ceremony takes place. If you love luxury brands and glamorous venues, take a stroll through the elegant galleries of GUM, the most beautiful shopping center in Russia, just next to the Kremlin. For travelers with a sweet tooth, delicious surprises await at the Red October Chocolate Factory. Finally, there are many options available for those who enjoy art or family outings. Make sure to book your tickets for the world-famous Bolshoi Theatre well in advance, or visit the extensive collections of the Pushkin Museum, the Tretyakov Gallery, the Museum of Cosmonautics of Moscow, the Museum of National History in Moscow, or even the Kremlin Armory.

Russia's capital is so vast that you will need several days to fully explore it. Join several Free Walking Tours in Moscow to fully understand how an ancient medieval village became the epicenter of World War II and, eventually, the center of political terror of a utopian society. An Essential Moscow City Tour, or a Free Best Architecture Tour, will allow you to see the main landmarks of the historical city center in about 2.5 or 3 hours with a local guide. In addition, we highly recommend booking a fun Free Tour of the Underground, where you will see the stunning "people's palace" and be amazed by the most luxurious metro stations in the world. Other Free Tours in Moscow worth mentioning are a Free Tour of Communist Moscow, a Free Shopping Tour around the most important malls, and a Free Food Tour. All depart several days a week, both in the morning and the afternoon.

The Moscow Free Walking Tours will take you through a millennium of folklore and history. You will see architectural gems such as the massive Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the Bolshoi Theatre, the Monument to Peter the Great, the Alexander Pushkin Library (also known as the Russian State Library), as well as the tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the beautiful Aleksander Gardens. Of course, the most important attractions of Moscow are close to the wall and the towers of the Kremlin. In this area you will find the much-visited GUM shopping center and the Red Square. In this huge square you will see the twisted domes of Saint Basil's Cathedral, as well as the imposing Mausoleum of Lenin, where the body of the dictator is kept. Also, take the opportunity to visit some spectacular metro stations, like Komsomolskaya, with baroque ceilings painted yellow, Novoslobodskaya and Ploshchad Revolyutsii.
