Where to Stay in Moscow
A city that never fails to impress, Moscow has more than enough attractions, history and character to pack a traveler’s diary.

And with a 14-line metro system spanning the city and a wide choice of accommodation options, a visit to Moscow is a true adventure whatever the weather.
