Things To Do In MoscowThe Russian Federation sounds like something Dimitri, ex KGB, thought might be a good idea. Let’s just call it Russia for short. Some things have changed and some have not. Bribes are still paid in Rubles.The country really does have a tremendous amount to offer the tourist. Steeped in history, there are over 20 UNESCO sites and counting.Moscow is a very interesting city. The Bolshoi Opera and Ballet Theatre should be on your agenda even if it is your first encounter with old school culture. Entertainment is as diverse as the country and you can see everything from the circus to the strip club.Anyone who watched Gorky Park is going to have to visit a steam bath. It is quintessentially Russian to do so. Winter and summer offer a feast of outdoor activities from skiing on the amazing slopes to catching some sun and sand on the ‘Russian Riviera’ along the Black Sea. Prefer fresh water, then take a plunge into the deepest lake in the world, Lake Baikal also known as the ‘Blue Eye of Siberia.’ Really.All this exercise is enough to make a person hungry. Borsch, Ponchiki and Pirozhky - what a mouthful! The food is rich and tasty and don’t forget the caviar!Other than food, there are plenty of little things to stuff your luggage apart from the obvious traditional Matryoshka Dolls; hats, fur clothes, and of course Vodka.It is not a small place and shares land borders with 15 countries from Norway to China and splashes against Japan and the US at sea.
