This is a retroactive review and shout-out to the fantastic team that helped me during the pre-pandemic era with my international business trip to China and passport renewal. As the trip was fairly last minute, I did not have a chance to stay on top of my passport. And so I engaged 123 Travel to help me with expediting the process. Their fees were reasonable and they were knowledgeable and professional in everything I needed to prepare for my first visit to Shanghai. They also have a courier service option to deliver the passport to me in person, though I did not opt for that as it wasn't THAT last minute. Otherwise, I would have. Glad to see this agency survived the pandemic years. The very nice team at 123 Travel had gotten me out of a jam. They are established enough to be on the radar of the Big4 cpa firms and it showed. Anecdote: they are bilingual in English and Chinese

Willy did an excellent job in managing the booking for our 12 night Italy , Turkey and Greek Islands Tour on Celebrity. She booked us a great room midship on the Edge. Willy was really responsive to our many questions as we do not normally go on cruises. We can tell that she is very experienced and knowledgeable travel consultant. Thanks to her we have booked a future Celebrity cruise to Asia.

I have been using 123 Travel for over 10 years. I have always received excellent services from Willy. Unlike other travel agencies that I have used before, Willy never made any mistakes. I always received prompt services. Last year, when I had a family emergency and needed to fly out of the country within a short time. Willy was still able to find me the best deal for my travel. I highly recommend everyone to use 123 Travel for any travel purposes. This company has been around over 20 years, and the travel agents have lots of experience to work with your unique travel arrangements/needs.

This is a company that's been around for over 20 years, very surprised to see there has not been a lot of good reviews already. Our family and many of our friends have had great services from them for years. Staff are nice and willing to help, something that's hard to find in this internet world.

17 Top Tourist Attractions in Moscow

By Alex Schultz · Last updated on May 4, 2024

The capital of Russia is an incredible place to explore. Visitors to Moscow come away spellbound at all the amazing sights, impressed at the sheer size and grandeur of the city. Lying at the heart of Moscow, the Red Square and the Kremlin are just two of the must-see tourist attractions; they are the historical, political and spiritual heart of the city – and indeed Russia itself.

A fascinating city to wander around, stunning cathedrals, churches, and palaces lie side-by-side with bleak grey monuments and remains from the Soviet state. In addition to its plethora of historical and cultural tourist attractions, Moscow is home to world-class museums, theaters and art galleries.

Renowned for its performing arts, fantastic ballets and amazing circus acts, catching a show while in Moscow is a must. The wealth of brilliant restaurants, trendy bars, and lively nightlife means there is something for everyone to enjoy.

See also: Where to Stay in Moscow

17. Tsaritsyno Palace

Once the summer residence of Catherine the Great, the stunning Tsaritsyno Palace is now a museum-reserve. The architecture is magnificent and there is a lovely park surrounding it for visitors to explore.

Located in the south of Moscow, the palace was commissioned in 1775 and recent renovations mean its lavish interior looks better than ever before with its elegant halls and beautiful staircases.

The exhibits on display look at the life of the empress as well as the history of Tsaritsyno itself. The huge palace grounds are also home to some other delightful buildings with the elegant opera house and wonderful brickwork of the Small Palace being particularly impressive to gaze upon.

Starting out in 1935 as the ‘All-Union Agricultural Exhibition’, VDNKh has slowly morphed over the years into the fascinating open-air museum of today. Remarkably, over 400 buildings can now be found within its confines.

The huge park complex has numerous pavilions representing former Soviet republics on show, such as those of Armenia and Turkmenistan and the distinctive architecture of each of the buildings is always interesting to gaze upon. In addition to this there is the fascinating Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics which is dedicated to space exploration and the fun Moskvarium aquarium even offers you the chance to swim with dolphins.

With lots of eateries scattered about and numerous entertainment options such as horse-riding and zip-lining, there is something for everyone to enjoy; the Friendship of Nations fountain truly is wonderful.

15. Kremlin Armoury

One of the oldest museums in the city, the Kremlin Armoury has a wealth of treasures; highlights include the ornate Grand Siberian Railway egg, the historic Cap of Monomakh and the stunning Imperial Crown of Russia which often has a crowd of tourists around it, jostling to take a photo.

Once the royal armory, there are loads of fascinating objects on display. Perusing the many sabers, jewelry, armor and more is as interesting as it is educational and entertaining and the swords are so finely crafted that you’ll almost wish you could pick up one and wield if yourself.

Established in 1851, the museum is situated in the Moscow Kremlin.

14. GUM Department Store

Standing for ‘Main Universal Store’ in Russian, GUM is stunning. Its wonderful skylights and beautiful facades mean it doesn’t look out of place alongside its illustrious neighbors on Red Square.

With over 200 shops, boutiques and upmarket eateries inside, it is a shopaholic’s heaven and concerned partners will be glad to find more affordable options alongside luxury brands such as Dior and Prada.

The main department store in the city, GUM was opened in 1893. The stunning architecture makes it well worth a visit even if shopping isn’t your thing.

13. Moscow Metro

It’s not often that public transport looks like a work of art. So many stops on the Moscow Metro will astound visitors with their beauty and elegance.

Decked in marble and with frescoes covering the walls, the stations are amazing to gaze upon and are part of one of the longest metro systems in the world, with the first stations opened in 1935.

Using the metro is the quickest and easiest way to get around Moscow and braving the crowds of commuters is well worth it for the beauty all around you.

12. Arbat Street

An elegant yet lively street, Arbat is full of impressive architecture and was once a popular place to live for aristocrats, artists, and academics.

A historic place, it is down Arbat Street that Napoleon’s troops are said to have headed on their way to capture the Kremlin.

Nowadays, there are many cafes, restaurants, and shops, as well as various monuments and statues to former residents such as Alexander Pushkin who was reputed to be a lover of the Russian Empress due to his massive influence in court.

11. Novodevichy Convent

Drenched in history, the Novodevichy Convent is located in a striking building that was once a fortress. This captivating place is well worth visiting when in Moscow.

Founded in 1524, the convent houses four cathedrals; Smolensk Cathedral is the undoubted highlight due to its delightful 16th-century frescoes.

Wandering around the grounds is like stepping back in time. The Novodevichy Cemetery is where many famous leaders of the Soviet Union are buried, such as Yeltsin and Khrushchev.

10. Pushkin Museum

Despite its name, the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts actually has no connection at all to the famous poet other than that it was named in his honor after his death. A delight to visit, its extensive collection focuses on European art with masterpieces by Botticelli, Rembrandt, and van Gogh all featuring.

Sculptures, graphic art, paintings and more can be found in its beautiful galleries; various sections look at themes and epochs such as the Renaissance, the Dutch Golden Age, and Byzantine art.

Among the many highlights are the clownish characters which can be found in Cezanne’s Fastnacht (Mardi Gras) and the twirling ballerinas who look so elegant in Degas’ Blue Dancers. Picasso’s Young acrobat on a Ball is also well worth checking out for its interesting use of shapes and colors.

9. Christ The Savior Cathedral

This gorgeous Russian Orthodox cathedral is located on the banks of the Moskva River, just a stone’s throw away from the Kremlin.

The church as it stands today was consecrated in 2000, as the original church that stood here was destroyed on the command of Josef Stalin in 1931 due to the anti-religious campaign.

With its delightful golden dome, spires and dazzling white facades, the Christ the Savior Cathedral is stunning. The interior is just as captivating to wander around, with its beautifully tiled floors and impressive altar.

8. Lenin Mausoleum

Opened to the public in 1924, Lenin’s Mausoleum is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Moscow. The red granite structure is located at the heart of the city in Red Square.

Lenin’s embalmed body lies in a glass sarcophagus; it is a somewhat eerie experience walking past the former leader of the Soviet Union but is well worth doing as you understandably can’t do it anywhere else in the world.

After visiting the mausoleum, head to the Kremlin wall right next to it for more graves of important communist figures such as Stalin and Brezhnev.

7. Tretyakov Gallery

Home to the most extensive and impressive collection of Russian fine art in the world, the State Tretyakov Gallery is definitely worth visiting when in Moscow for the wealth of amazing art pieces that it has on display.

Having started out as the private art collection of the Tretyakov brothers, there are now over 130,000 exhibits. Highlights include the iconic Theotokos of Vladimir which you will almost certainly recognise despite probably not knowing the name and Rublev’s Trinity which is considered to be one of highest achievements in Russian art.

An absolute must for art lovers, the State Tretyakov Gallery will delight visitors with all that is has to offer.

6. Kolomenskoye

Once a royal estate, Kolomenskoye is now a museum-reserve and lies a few kilometers outside of the city center. A captivating place to visit, there is a plethora of history on show and the site overlooks the Moskva River.

Consisting of four historical sites, there are extensive gardens for visitors to explore, as well as loads of interesting old buildings, the former village of Kolomenskoye itself and the impressive Palace of the Tsar Alexey Mikhailovich – once considered the Eighth Wonder of the World by contemporaries.

Among the many stunning sights, it is the brilliantly white Ascension Church that is the undoubted highlight – dating back to 1532.

5. Gorky Park

Lying alongside the Moskva River, the huge Gorky Park is a lovely place to visit. Its extensive gardens are home to numerous cultural institutions and visitors should definitely check out the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art and while the eclectic exhibits may not always feature such incredible sights as a balloon-covered rider on a zebra; they certainly always succeed in pushing back the boundaries of art.

Pop-up exhibitions and festivals can be found from time to time in the park itself and there is an open-air theatre and numerous eateries alongside a plethora of leisure activities.

Whether it’s cycling, table tennis or yoga that you are after or beach volleyball and rowing, Gorky Park certainly has it. In winter, there is a huge ice rink for visitors to enjoy.

4. Bolshoi Theatre

The Bolshoi Theatre is the main theater in the country. The amazing opera and ballet performances it has put on over the centuries go a long way in explaining Russia’s rich history of performing arts.

While the Bolshoi Ballet Company was established in 1776, the theater itself was opened in 1825. The glittering, six-tier auditorium is lavishly and decadently decorated; it is a fitting setting for the world-class performances that take place on its stage.

Spending a night watching a performance of such classics as The Nutcracker or Swan Lake at the Bolshoi Theatre is sure to be a memorable experience and the beauty all around you only adds to the sense of occasion.

3. Moscow Kremlin

This famously fortified complex is remarkably home to five palaces and four cathedrals and is the historic, political and spiritual center of the city. The Kremlin serves as the residence for the country’s president. It has been used as a fort, and this fact is made clear by its sheer size. The Kremlin’s outer walls were built in the late 1400s.

Under Ivan III, better known as Ivan the Great, the Kremlin became the center of a unified Russian state, and was extensively remodeled. Three of the Kremlin’s cathedrals date to his reign that lasted from 1462-1505. The Deposition Church and the Palace of Facets were also constructed during this time. The Ivan the Great Bell Tower was built in 1508. It is the tallest tower at the Kremlin with a height of 266 feet (81 meters).

Joseph Stalin removed many of the relics from the tsarist regimes. However, the Tsar Bell, the world’s largest bell, and the Tsar Cannon, the largest bombard by caliber in the world, are among the remaining items from that era. The Kremlin Armory is one of Moscow’s oldest museums as it was established more than 200 years ago. Its diamond collection is impressive.

The Kremlin’s gardens – Taynitsky, Grand Kremlin Public and Alexander – are beautiful. The Kremlin has also served as the religious center of the country, and there is a tremendous number of preserved churches and cathedrals here. The collections contained within the museums include more than 60,000 historical, cultural and artistic monuments. Those who enjoy the performing arts will want to consider attending a ballet or concert at the State Kremlin Palace. Completed in 1961, it is the only modern building in the Kremlin.

2. Red Square

Lying at the heart of Moscow, Red Square is the most important and impressive square in the city. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions due to its wealth of historical sights and cultural landmarks.

Drenched in history, the huge square is home to incredible sights such as the Kremlin, St. Basil’s Cathedral and Lenin’s Mausoleum, among others. Consequently, it is not to be missed when in Moscow as it really is home to the city’s most stunning monuments.

It is here that many important moments in Russian history took place; the former marketplace has hosted everything from Tsar’s coronations and public ceremonies to rock concerts and Soviet military parades. Wandering around the massive square is a humbling experience and undoubtedly one of the highlights the city has to offer.

1. Saint Basil’s Cathedral

Located in the impressive Red Square, St. Basil’s Cathedral is gorgeous; its delightful spires appear as if out of a fairytale. The most recognizable building in the country, the cathedral is very much a symbol of Russia. No visit to Moscow is complete without having taken in its unique and distinctive features.

Ivan the Terrible ordered the cathedral’s construction in the mid-16th century, and legend holds that Ivan put out the architect’s eyes so that he would be unable to build another cathedral more glorious than St. Basil’s. Designed to resemble the shape of a bonfire in full flame, the architecture is not only unique to the period in which it was built but to any subsequent period. For various reasons, both Napoleon and Stalin wanted to destroy the cathedral but fortunately did not succeed.

Known for its various colors, shapes and geometric patterns, St. Basil’s Cathedral houses nine different chapels that are all connected by a winding labyrinth of corridors and stairways. On the lower floor, St. Basil’s Chapel contains a silver casket bearing the body of St. Basil the Blessed.

Throughout the cathedral are many beautiful murals, frescoes, wooden icons and other art works and artifacts. Outside the cathedral is a lovely garden with the bronze Monument to Minin and Pozharsky, who rallied an all-volunteer Russian army against Polish invaders during a period of the late 16th century known as the Times of Troubles.

Breaking news, adams was treated to over $123k in travel perks over five years that he did not disclose: indictment.

Party-loving, jet-setting Mayor Eric Adams lived the high life while allegedly raking in Turkish graft — getting treated to more than $123,000 worth of travel perks, prosecutors said.

Adams failed to disclose six luxurious, paid-for trips spread over five years as legally required on annual financial disclosures, according to a sprawling 57-page indictment unveiled Thursday.

The trips aren’t out of character for the self-declared “swagger” mayor who’s a fixture at New York City nightlife hotspots .

But the feds contend Adams starting in 2016 illegally accepted the lavish travel arrangements — which he allegedly did not disclose — from wealthy foreign businessmen and at least one Turkish government official looking for favors from the up-and-coming pol.

Business class flights, opulent hotel rooms, free meals at high-end restaurants and luxurious entertainment — either free or heavily discounted — were all on the menu during Adams’ travels his foreign fixers set up while flying on Turkish airlines, the indictment details.

One summer 2017 trip for Adams, a relative and a close staffer who served as his “liaison to the Asian-American communities in New York” boasted an enviable itinerary: Nice, France; Istanbul, Turkey; Columbo, Sri Lanka; and Beijing, China, according to court papers.

The business class flights for the trio were worth a jaw-dropping $35,000 and they all also received “a heavily discounted stay” at the St. Regis Istanbul hotel for two nights — where Adams stayed in the “Bentley Suite,” the filing claims.

The ritzy suite would have cost roughly $7,000 for both nights but Adams paid less than $600, the indictment claims.

The deal with Turkish Airlines was so cushy that Adams even flew them when it was inconvenient, court papers contend.

During the France trip, his longtime partner Tracey Collins was surprised to learn he was in Istanbul for a flight from New York to France in 2017, the indictment states.

“Transferring here,” he texted his partner, according to the documents. “You know the stop is always instanbul (sic).”

At another point, Adams repeatedly pushed Collins, who was planning a trip to Easter Island, to see if Turkish Airlines could be used, the court papers contend.

Adams even required his to call the airline to “confirm that they did not have routes between New York and Chile,” the documents state.

Adams, then Brooklyn’s borough president, allegedly started accepting the perks during October 2016, when he and Collins took a trip to India on Turkish Airlines.

He bought two economy class tickets for the duo that cost $2,286, but two days before takeoff they were upgraded to business class tickets — were worth roughly $15,000 — for free, the court papers allege.

The trip kicked off a years-long pattern of travel, where free perks were assumed, the feds contend.

During one ultimately canceled planned trip to Istanbul, an Adams staffer who helped arrange travel momentarily balked at a Turkish Airlines manager’s suggestion that the pol stay at the Four Seasons hotel.

“It’s too expensive,” the staffer wrote, according to the indictment.

“Why does he care? He is not going to pay,” the manager wrote back, court papers state.

The canceled trip would have been swanky — Adams and his partner would have bedded at the Four Seasons, embarked on a yacht tour, stayed three days at a posh resort and been supplied with a car and driver, according to the indictment.

Adams only paid $1,100 for each international flight and was only set to pay “a nominal price of $720” for the rest of the trip — which would have cost over $8,500, the indictment states.

A fundraiser for Adams ultimately went on the trip to Turkey instead the next day and was treated to “transportation from the airport, a free hotel, and free use of a VIP room in the Turkish Airline’s business class lounge,” the indictment states.

Other trips detailed in the indictment show that Adams didn’t miss out on fringe benefits during other trips.

Adams and his liaison went to Nepal during 2017 through Istanbul and Beijing on free business class tickets worth over $16,000 on the Turkish Airline, the feds allege in the court papers.

Adams only paid $1,100 for each international flight and was only set to pay “a nominal price of $720” for the rest of the trip — which would have cost over $8,500, the indictment says.

The mayor and his partner then took a trip to Budapest, Hungary in January 2018 on a free upgrade to business class flights worth $14,000, the indictment alleges.

His partner originally bought the economy tickets for $560 a pop but in December 2017, Adams’ staffer asked for the free upgrade at his behest, the documents allege.

Adams took a trip to Istanbul again in 2019 for the purpose of “raising campaign contributions illegally in Turkey” and was comped an upgrade to business class on that flight.

On that trip he asked for and accepted, “free hotel stays, dinners, and a boat trip” as well as a “free two-night stay in the Cosmopolitan Suite of the St. Regis,” worth $3,000, the indictment says, including photos of the posh suite.

He also received perks including a “car and driver, a boat tour to Princes’ Islands in the Sea of Marmara, a Turkish bath at a seaside hotel, and at least one meal at a high-end restaurant,” the indictment claimed.

The final trip detailed in the indictment originally started as a planned trip to Pakistan, for which Adams purchased two roundtrip economy class tickets on Turkish Airlines $1,436, according to the indictment.

A staffer for Adams asked whether he was still intending to travel there and whether she should have his “tickets upgraded to business class.”

Four days before the trip to Pakistan, Adams asked for his destination to be changed to Ghana — which they did so at no extra cost. 

Turkish officials reassured an Adams staffer that they’d “take care of the layover in Istanbul” including providing a BMW 7 with a driver and dinner at a high-end restaurant where he met with a Turkish official, the documents state. No photos were allowed at the dinner.

During the nine-hour layover he was also treated to drinks at a separate location, before boarding his business class flight to Ghana. He passed on the offered Bosporus Strait cruise, explaining he had “done the boat tour a few times,” according to the indictment.

The Adams staffer stressed there be “no media attention, including social media” during this layover, court papers state.

Once in Ghana, the mayor pushed for media coverage in “stark contrast” of the Istanbul layover, the indictment states.

After the layover, a Turkish official texted an Adams staffer: “Is Eric happy then?”

“He is very happy,” the staffer texted back, according to the indictment.
