Hello. Hey. Hi. I just wanted to say that you are amazing and your content and creativity and blog and everything are perfect and a joy to see! Also I was wondering if you have any recommendations for Moscow. I am traveling there in October. No pressure to answer though. Hope you have a lovely day :)
here are a couple places i personally like going to in moscow (mostly in summer though, be prepared for quite cold and rainy weather in october - take a suitcase of sweaters please)
Artplay (metro station Kurskaya, circle line) is a pretty neat space to look around, you can go and see an exhibition if you’re into that - currently they’re having one about Claude Monet:
or eat at a really nice (and cheap!) vegan place called Fruits and Veges, out of all the vegan places in moscow this one is my favourite, it is very unique and run by a bunch of friends
about 5 minutes from Artplay there’s also Vinzavod - a centre of contemporary art so again if you’re into that you might want to take a look at their exhibitions while you’re there
next on our list are Gorky Park and Muzeon - those are two nice parks located on both sides of the Krymsky Bridge (metro stations Oktyabrskaya or Park Kultury, circle line) there are a bunch of things you can do there from eating out to feeding ducks to watching a movie in an open-air cinema, they have all sorts of things going on http://park-gorkogo.com/en/places
and while you’re there definitely spend some time in Garage which is a relatively new museum of contemporary art with a cute book shop next to their box office
another neat space around that area (when you’re moving away from Muzeon towards Kropotkinskaya station, red line) is Red October (which used to be a chocolate factory) with the Lumiere Brothers center of photography and it’s always a nice little walk from there towards the Patriarshiy bridge and if you’re into iconic buildings you’ll see the Cathedral of Christ the Saviouron the way
a more central place to walk around is when you go from Kuznetskiy Most street (metro station Kuznetskiy Most, purple line) down to Kamergerskiy Pereulok it’s full of places you could eat at and leads you straight to the Tverskaya street which is one of the main touristy streets that goes to the Red Square and St. Basil’s Cathedral
i also like walking around the Patriarch’s Pondsarea (a slightly tricky walk from metro station Tverskaya, green line) it is extra nice in the evening - it has lots and lots of places to eat at and drink coffee or wine if you’re into wine - my suggestion for coffee would be Nude - Coffee & Wine Bar, Scramble for pancakes or cider and Fresh for salads, smoothies and everything vegan
and one last suggestion - Danilovsky Market (metro station Tulskaya, grey line) for trying new food, it is just a place FULL of options from traditional russian foods to asian to coffee to smoothies to literally anything
