Is Moscow or St Petersburg better?
Two Russian largest capitals Moscow and St. Petersburg, are the most popular destinations in Russia. Both cities have plenty of attractions to offer; however, the towns have a different atmosphere as well as experiences. Russia's capital is a highly cosmopolitan city with a large number of people from all around the world. Moscow has played the most significant role in Russia's history, and today it's the number one tourist city in the country. While St. Petersburg is less crowded and is known for its charming elegance and canals. Also, it's the cheaper city than Moscow but plenty of Classical and Baroque architecture around.
What is the best time to visit Russia?
With Russia's abundance of different cultures, attractions, biomes, and places, it is no surprise that there are discoveries to be made and adventures to embark on all around the year. Whether it's to see the Northern lights of Murmansk in winter, to gaze upon the wild autumn nature, or enjoy summertime Moscow and St. Petersburg's heat and energy, anytime is truly the best. Of course, Russia is known for rather cold winters, and while most tourists prefer to visit the country in summer, one of the great charms of Russia can only be discovered in winter. It all depends on the thrill that you are chasing.
Do they speak English in Moscow?
Being the capital of Russia and one of the most globalized cities in the world, Moscow is a huge international tourism and business hub. While not all people in the city may speak English, there is certainly no shortage of services and information provided in English and competent speakers all around.
