How To Enjoy Your First Visit To Moscow, Russia   by Casey Adams Taking your first trip to Moscow, Russia is in many respects like going to any other world capital. Before leaving your point of origin, you must be certain you have a visa. The simplest visa to get is a tourist visa. It will be about EUR100. If you are a typical first time visitor and do not speak Russian, proceed through the "green channel" when you arrive in Moscow. If you need cash, you can withdraw it from an ATM on almost any corner. It is safest to bring a mix of cash, credit and ATM cards. It is vital that you maintain your passport and hotel registration on your person at all times. While Moscow has some pickpockets and other small time criminals, the petty crime statistics are comparable to that in any other major city or world capital. Wearing a money pocket that goes around your neck and underneath your clothes is a safe choice for keeping your cash and documents safe. Central Moscow is very non-threatening, but you should maintain the common sense measures that you would take in any other major metropolis. For exchanging currencies, exchange kiosks have better exchange rates than the air terminal and lodgings. Don't exchange all your cash at once. You might find a better exchange a little farther on. You will have the simplest time exchanging U.S. dollars or Euros rather than other currencies. It is wise to restrict the use of your credit cards to major businesses. You're safer using hard currency at local stores. While there are countless things to see and do in Moscow, here are a few suggestions. The Moscow metro is highly regarded for traveling around Moscow due to its dependability, cleanliness, and safety. It is also an attraction by itself. Single entry is only 5 rubles, and you get} a deeper discount with books of passes. The trains run from 5:30 a.m. to 1:00 a.m.. Several of the train stations are architectural art objects and are definitely worth seeing. The new Tretyakov Gallery is located betwixt the Park Cultury and Octoberskya subway stations, and across from Gorky Park. The exhibitions change often, and the number of artworks is huge. On the last weekend of each month, in the red brick facility on the other side of the grounds is a stone fair that occupies two entire floors of the facility. Between the Tretyakov Gallery and the Moscow River is a separate sculpture garden that costs 100 rubles but is a terrific value. It is full of sculptures that were unwanted in public places. They were collected here in the 1990s. The Old Tretyakov Gallery at 10-12 Lavrushinskiy Pereulok contains works by the Russian masters from the 11th through the 20th centuries. St. Basil's Cathedral was erected in the 1550s by Ivan the Terrible. Bordering Red Square, the cathedral has nine chapels, each with its own unique dome. And naturally, you shouldn't miss Red Square. Surrounded by the Kremlin walls, Lenin's tomb, and the vast GUM department store bordering three faces, you can readily spend an entire day here. You'll never lack for things to see and do in Moscow, and once you're accustomed to the geography of the city there is every reason you'll want to come back to Moscow again and again.
