My friends and me are considering the idea of spending our summer break in Moscow. We want something completely different from everything weve had the chance to see up to now and Russia looks promising with its long and rich tradition. What are your impressions about Moscow? What surprised you the most about it? I hope we wont be disappointed with what it has to offer.

Well, I must say I was pleasantly surprised with Moscow. Before I went there I had read a lot about its beauty and attractions, but somehow I didnt think it would amaze me. Maybe I was a bit prejudiced because I thought that the communist era destroyed everything worth seeing there, and I expected a grey, bleak city inhabited with sad, poor people and I encountered a stunning, glittering city with magnificent buildings and museums, and realized that Tsarist Russia never disappeared. And I was wrong about the poverty part, because it turned out that Moscow is one of the most expensive cities in the world. For sure your impressions wont be lukewarm!
