Hi! I really love your blog, especially since I am in Moscow for an exchange program until the end of december. According to you, what are the best things that I should do ? Maybe you know a great website on which I can find very great activities. Thank you very much! Cédric

Thank you!

Well, that really depends on what you are interested in. There is a website about activities in Moscow: http://kudago.com/msk/

I think it can help a lot. Yes, and I personally recommend you visit Kolomenskoye - that’s a beautiful former tsar residence with World Heritage Sites (http://mgomz.com/kolomenskoe).

And also find some time to explore Vasnetsov’s museum (http://www.tretyakovgallery.ru/en/museum/branch/root55716141617/). It’s not only about art, it’s about spirit of Russian legends and fairy tales.

Archangel Michael, fresco from the Nereditsa Church, 1199

Nereditsa Church had one of the most well-preserved fresco complexes of Medieval Rus period.

The photo was taken in 1930s. During the World War II, Nereditsa Church was destroyed almost completely. Later, in 1950s, the church itself was restored, but frescoes could not be saved.
