The Bolshoi Theater is just one of the many things to do in Moscow. Here you can find performances in ballet, opera and theater. Take the Moscow Metro for an experience in architecture and transportation as well. The stations provide artistic opportunities that can't be found elsewhere. The Kremlin Museum or Armoury houses centuries worth of artistic, military and historical exhibits. A visit to Red Square, the site of parades and executions as well, is bounded by the Kremlin, Lenin's tomb and GUM Department Store. The fourth side of the square is formed by St Basil's cathedral dating back to the 15th century.

Moscow shopping has come a long ways from Cold War days of long lines and limited product options. Today, you can usually find products available although the selection may not be as extensive and prices may be higher than you would pay at home. Don't make the mistake of purchasing something of 'cultural significance' and expect to get it out of the country. Caviar can be purchased readily and shipped anywhere in the world at reasonable prices. Be careful when purchasing vodka, the other popular purchase item from Russian stores. Purchasing without due care can result in a case of alcohol poisoning.

Whether you are traveling for leisure or business, car hire in Moscow can be accomplished with just a few clicks of the mouse and a submission of your credit card information at any of several secure sites. Moscow has more vehicles than during the Cold War era, but it still is not a crowded, traffic clogged highway system as you will find in many of the other European capitals. Economy cars to luxury sedans are all available for the visitor who can pick up the car at the airport or at any of the city locations available. Chauffeured vehicles are also available for your convenience in traveling in and around the city.

You can choose from any number of Moscow hotels facilities near the Kremlin, or in the outlying district. A Moscow hotel with five star rating may be just the thing for your Moscow business trip. If you are a vacation traveler, the Moscow hotel list will undoubtedly help you to choose the perfect facility for your needs. A Moscow restaurant choice is similar in variety. Restaurant foods in Moscow have the unique qualities that are Russian, but they also would be right at home in Paris, London, or New York City. If you prefer Arabic cuisine or Indian delicacies, you can find those too.
