Moscow is huge and exciting. As the capital of the largest country on the planet, it is bound to impress, and it does not fail to deliver. Contrasts are everywhere: fancy shops on Tverskaya Street rub shoulders with shacks left over from Soviet times. It’s like a mix of two worlds: Europe and Asia... cultural innovator and an ancient city with an exceptionally rich history, centuries of old traditions and a promising future.
