Moscow Holiday experiences
- Relax at Gorky Park, which stretches along the banks of the river in the heart of the city. While away the hours at the choice of modern art galleries or enjoy an open-air concert in the summer months. You can get a new perspective on the city if you’re brave enough to try a bungee jump or from the top of one of the park’s rollercoaster rides. Or keep firmly on the ground by hiring a bike to explore the park’s open spaces.
- Join the 8 million locals who travel by metro every day. First opened in 1935 it's a bit like travelling on a museum, and there are over 217 miles to explore
- Shop over 100 top-of-the-range brands at the famous GUM department store in Red Square
- Time your package holiday to Moscow to coincide with the glittering Winter Festival. From mid-December to mid-January it celebrates the traditions and customs of Russian culture with song, dance and food events held across the city
