ABOUT GREEN DAY

Formed in 1986 in Berkeley, CA, Green Day is one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time, with more than 75 million records sold worldwide and 10 billion cumulative audio/visual streams. The five-time Grammy Award-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees released their breakout album Dookie in 1994 , which sold over 10 million and achieved 10x Platinum Diamond status, is widely credited with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock, catapulting a career-long run of #1 hit singles. Entertainment Weekly calls Green Day, “The most influential band of their generation,” while Rolling Stone attests, “Green Day have inspired more young bands to start than any act this side of Kiss, and that doesn’t seem to be changing.” In 2004, Green Day released the rock opera American Idiot which captured the nation’s attention, selling more than 8 million copies in the U.S. alone and taking home the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. Mojo declared “It’s exhilarating stuff, the kind of record that sets new parameters as to what is possible from a punk rock’n’roll band in the 21st century.” In 2010, a stage adaptation of American Idiot debuted on Broadway to critical and commercial acclaim.  Released in 2020, Green Day’s thirteenth studio album Father Of All… debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Album Sales Chart and #1 in both the U.K. and Australia. Pitchfork declared, “Green Day’s most fetching and youthful songs in ages. The trio sounds reinvigorated, more like hungry newcomers staking their claim.” In July 2021, Green Day embarked on The Hella Mega Tour (w/ Fall Out Boy & Weezer). The global tour included 29 sold-out stadium gigs – including renowned venues like London Stadium and Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium.  On October 24, the band announced the release  of their highly anticipated 14th studio album, Saviors, coming January 19, ‘24 and released their brand new single, “The American Dream Is Killing Me.”

Green Day’s roots date back to 1986 when 14-year-old high school friends Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt formed the group Sweet Children. Sean Hughes joined on bass and Raj Punjabi on drums, both of whom played at the band’s debut concert at Rod’s Hickory Pit in Vallejo, California.

Bassist Hughes left before the band signed with Lookout! Records and released its debut EP 1,000 Hours in 1989. After changing its name to Green Day, the band released its debut full-length album, 39/Smooth, in April 1990. Later that year, it released a pair of EPs and went on its first nationwide tour. A European tour followed in 1992 and 1993.

The success of its sophomore album Kerplunk led the band to sign with the major label Reprise Records. Green Day released its third album, Dookie, in February 1994, which marked the band’s commercial breakthrough thanks to tracks like “Longview,” “Basket Case,” and “When I Come Around” landing the top spots on the Modern Rock chart.

Dookie led to controversial performances at Lollapalooza and Woodstock, further augmenting the band’s burgeoning popularity. Also aiding the mainstream revival of punk alongside Sublime, Bad Religion, and The Offspring, Green Day released a successful lineup of albums such as Insomniac (1995), Nimrod (1997), and Warning (2000) toward the late ’90s.

By introducing the band’s brand of punk rock to a younger audience, Green Day’s seventh studio album American Idiot proved a huge international success. Selling over five million copies and including hits like “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” and “American Idiot,” the record won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album and paved the way for its highest-charting album, 21st Century Breakdown, in 2009.

In 2012, Green Day released a trilogy of albums ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré!, followed by its induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Fall Out Boy. It was an unforgettable day for the legendary band as they cemented their place in punk-rock history.

After their memorable induction, Green Day began recording their 12th record, Revolution Radio. The lead single “Bang Bang” pulled no punches and took on the band’s signature punk energy. It set the tone for the rest of the fast-paced, edgy, and outspoken album. As fans thrashed to Green Day’s old-school sound, Revolution Radio shot to the top of the UK and US rock charts in 2016.

The follow-up to Revolution Radio changed the game for Green Day. In 2020, the band’s 13th studio release Father of All… took the year by storm. Green Day experimented with new sounds while paying homage to the classics.

The title track and lead promotional single “Father of All…” showcased all the iconic elements of garage rock and dance-punk. It landed high on the US Rock and Alternative Songs chart, proving the band could shake things up and maintain star power. Other singles like “Fire, Ready, Aim” and “Oh Yeah!” took on a similar sound and helped Green Day secure an 11th top-10 US album.

Like many other musicians, Green Day postponed its 2020 world tour for Father of All… to 2021. Alongside fellow artists Fall Out Boy and Weezer, the Hella Mega Tour spanned across the globe from North America to Europe. Green Day performed a set list full of past and present hits to stadiums filled with loyal fans. The co-headlining tour was a grand achievement for Green Day. After playing venues like Wrigley Field, PNC Park, and Dodger Stadium, the band hit another all-time high in the punk-rock music scene.

Green Day wrapped up their Hella Mega Tour with Fall Out Boy and Weezer in July 2022. The band followed up with a string of music festival appearances at Lollapalooza, Sea.Hear.Now, and Rock in Rio.

Green Day’s signature punk persona helped it solidify a spot in music history. Today, the group is just as influential as it was in the ’90s. Due to their long-standing popularity, a recent reissue of Green Day’s triple-platinum album, Nimrod, is set to hit the stands for its 25th anniversary.

In honor of the iconic LP, the band unveiled a demo version of “You Irritate Me.” Overall, the new edition of Nimrod will include the original 18 tracks, 14 never-before-heard demos, and 20 live audio recordings at Philadelphia’s Franklin Music Hall. This special release is a nod to one of Green Day’s most significant triumphs in rock.

Green Day is an undeniable force in music. With four Grammys, three AMAs, two Brits, and many other awards under the band’s belt, no one can deny Green Day’s influence. Its high-energy hits, stripped-down ballads, and garage-band-inspired tracks revolutionized punk.

Live reviews

My first experience with a Green Day concert was one of the greatest at Woodstock 99. That experience has stuck with me ever since then, as has my desire to see Green Day perform any time I get the chance.

The first thing I can say about the Green Day concert experience is all about the crowd, as they are always a very rowdy, but very fun crowd! A bit crazy, a bit intoxicated, a bit of everything, and a whole lot of fun! By the time I actually get into the stadium and am waiting for the show to start, I already feel that I've had greatest time already and just can't wait for the insanity to kick in. For me personally, if Im not down in the middle of it all, in the pit, being able to jump around, crowd surf, exert some energy and really feel the music, it just wouldn't be a Green Day show.

Their stage presence is intense and Billie Joe Armstrong really draws the insanity out of the crowd, encouraging the mosh, encouraging all-out fun. He runs around all over stage, having as much fun performing as the crowd is watching them. It's truly a sight to see and a show that I have always been excited to go to and look forward to every time. The sound and light show can be overpowering at times, but that is mostly a good thing, as it just fuels the crowd and creates even more energy and excitement. By the end of the show, it's obvious that everyone has had so much fun, is tired and sweaty, while at the same time still bubbling over with energy and excitement.

It is indeed an experience to be had, and if you are a Green Day fan at all, then you deserve to have this experience at least once!!

The concert was really great! The Support act played at 7 pm to 7.30 pm. Half an hour later, green day started to Play. They Played for 2 and a half hours. The First Song they played was Bang Bang. They played a Lot of Songs (New and older ones). While they played "revolution radio", they had pyro, like big flames. They also had exploding things, where flames,lights and loud noises came. This was definitely great. They also had on the end a vergessen big amount of confetti comming down. While they were on stage , they let 3 people on stage. 2 were allowed to sing with them and one could Play the gituare with them. Billie said at the end, that the girl playing the gituare could keep it.

Another cool thing was, that they had water "guns". I was in the second row and billie really got me and all the other people near me wet. In between the concert they also played Songs like "Hey Jude" by the beatles. At the end they played 3 last Songs: American Idiot; Jesus of suburbia; ordinary World. They whole concert was really great and I would say it was the best concert I've ever been to.

Unless you want to be an American Idiot, I would thoroughly recommend going to see the incredible rock legends that are Green Day, perform live. The alternative rock band have been making waves recently by taking the stage at a number of high profile festivals. Each time the band make their way on to another festival stage, always as headliners (obviously), the crowd go absolutely wild. Green Day always produce a crazy crowd, they wouldn’t be indie rock legends if they didn’t, and the crowds they muster up are always undoubtedly fun. Green Day have a number of hits, from iconic classics such as ‘American Idiot’ to slower tunes such as ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams’ . And they played them all. The energy and passion that the band brought on to stage was phenomenal, with Billie Joe Armstrong drawing out the crowd’s madness and encouraging each and every mosh pit that the music hungry crowd were all too excited to form. Armstrong’s vocals were on point and the band proved themselves to be the talented musicians we all remembered them to be.

One of the worst kept secrets of recent festival years was the spiritual return to Reading Festival by the almighty punk rock band Green Day. The 'American Idiot' hitmakers had been rumoured to be taking to the NME stage from the offset of the event and as promised they arrive at 12pm on Saturday to perform to a packed out field as the majority of the site flocks towards the big top.

Playing four tracks from the iconic 'Dookie' this really was a great show that could have headlined the main stage with ease. As opposed to other 'surprise' artists who come and play acoustic sets of their B sides from 1992 to 1995, Green Day were here to enthuse the crowds and delight with the hits. Whether you were inside or outside of the tent, everybody sang along at deafening volumes to 'Know Your Enemy' and 'American Idiot' as the band charged around the stage and into the lucky front row. It may not have been a well guarded secret but something makes me think Billie Joe Armstrong and co wanted the biggest crowd available and damn they got it.

Green Day is the type of band that makes you either want to go overthrow the government or go find the love of your life and everything in-between. Every song has its own unique story that touches the hearts of everyone in the audience. Despite all the hatred and fear and walls that divide us in this country right now, Green Day allowed for a brief moment of tranquility and release of political tension that I think everyone needs right now. You can just forget about your problems for a while and live in the moment. The lyrics are so empowering and inspiring. Billie Joe makes everyone feel accepted. He provides a safe haven for the oddballs, weirdos, and those who don't "fit in". You can be whatever you want, love whomever you want, and just be yourself and have fun and not feel judged. Mike Dirnt is a phenomenal bassist and Tré Cool is a complete badass on drums. Seeing them in concert was surreal. The ear ringing afterwards is totally worth it. If you get the chance to see Green Day in concert, do it. You won't regret it.

My first Green Day experiences date back to high school, I was 15-16 and it was like ‘93-‘94 before Dookie even came to be. I would see this punk band from the Bay Area perform in some local pizza place in Bakersfield, California called Jerry’s Pizza. From then on I was in love. Like IN LOVE! I loved the bands music! Their sound was something that just got me and to this day Who Wrote Holden Caulfield? is my most favorite Green Day song still. I take a lot of pride in saying I was part of the small percentage of people who loved their music before the entire world knew who they were. They are badass, Hands down! AND I’m thankful BJ had a sweet wife and family to help him when he needed it most and that he is still breathing and that he is here to give us more music with his fellow brothers of the band.

Back in 1994, I wouldn't have dreamed that Green Day would one day become a rock and roll institution, displaying an energy and repertoire that kept the multi-generational crowd on its feet for nearly 3 hours. Complete with impressive pyrotechnics and a well-polished knack for inviting fans onto stage, these guys put on an impressive show.

Though the show at times teetered on getting bogged down in call and response, my 12 year old son left the venue as hyped up about Green Day as my 45 year old self recollects my 19 year old self having been. Since those good old days, the guys of Green Day have gone from thrashing a few chords to reveling in surprisingly complex musicianship.

I'd gladly go again, and I appreciated Billy Joe and the boys for leaving it all onstage.

I went to Green Day concert in Mannheim at 18th of January and I feel the need to write this as a duty! I've been a true concert girl in my whole life, traveled the world for the love of music; I've been to stadiums to see the superstars as well as dark bars to listen to not much known quality music. I listen to from heavy metal to jazz and classics. And I've never seen a concert so interactive and energetic in my experiences! Now I'm full of light and joy! Light gives the hope to fight the dark, joy in my heart sends away the devils in my tired mind! After a long tiring period, I feel ALIVE again! Whatever happens in this crazy world in these evil times, I'm happy and I enjoy it. Thank you Green Day. Let there be light, let there be music in our souls!

This was my first concert in the Pit, and it was the best night of my life. I got really hyped when I saw how close I was to the stage, and I met some pretty cool people there. When Green Day came out, I actually started crying. I was standing only a couple feet away from the band at points, and I know it was a night I'm never going to forget. I think what made Green Day different that most concerts was how they called so many people on stage and gave away so much stuff. Some people got to go on stage and sing lyrics, or play guitar, and actually got to meet the band members and I honestly thought it was so amazing because they made someone else have the best night of their life. This concert was hands down 10/10, in fact, it broke the scale.

It's been 9 years since Green Day made an appearance in Northern Ireland.

Boy did they make up for it

Rancid, Green Day's tour buddies. Started the show off with high adrenaline. So much so that a mosh pit itself began to form at the front of the stage. I was slap bang in the middle of it.

This high adrenaline show meant that when Green Day started the crowd was already pumped and ready. And they delivered on the he action packed, high octane poreformance everyone wanted. I would easily call this the best night of my life without question. It was a phemomonal performance from both Green Day and Rancid and I wold seriously recommended that,if they're coming to somewhere near you. You get tickets ASAP.

Green Day shared, “We’ve never been more excited to unleash new music than with Saviors, a record that’s meant to be rocked live, together.  So let’s thrash.  We’ve got some amazing friends who are coming along for the ride!”    The tour will be a larger-than-life, career-spanning celebration of one of the biggest musical acts of all time and some of the most important albums in history. This year marks the 30th anniversary of Green Day’s 1994 certified Diamond album, Dookie, and the 20th anniversary of 2004’s juggernaut, American Idiot. Each a cultural phenomenon in its own right, these albums have remained at the forefront of punk culture since their release. With blazing guitars and electrifying vocals, Green Day are ready to bring their mind-blowing collection of hits to stadiums across the country, along with plenty of additions from their newly announced album, Saviors.   Green Day began dropping hints about their soon-to-be 14th studio album, Saviors, at a surprise show at Las Vegas’ Fremont Country Club, surrounded by a crowd of 800 die-hard fans. During their Las Vegas takeover, which also included commanding headline performances at When We Were Young festival, the band debuted two killer new tracks: the first single “The American Dream Is Killing Me” and the brand new “Look Ma, No Brains!,” out today. Watch the accompanying video HERE, directed by Ryan Baxley and Brendan Walter. Fans got another chance to hear the new music during Green Day’s headlining Amazon Music Live concert series performance on October 26, which included the two releases along with crowd favorites from their extensive discography. With a brand new album and a nationwide stadium tour on the horizon, Green Day are ready for total domination.

ABOUT GREEN DAY  Formed in 1986 in Berkeley, CA, Green Day is one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time, with more than 75 million records sold worldwide and 10 billion cumulative audio/visual streams. The five-time Grammy Award-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees released their breakout album Dookie in 1994, which sold over 10 million and achieved 10x Platinum Diamond status, is widely credited with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock, catapulting a career-long run of #1 hit singles. Entertainment Weekly calls Green Day, “The most influential band of their generation,” while Rolling Stone attests, “Green Day have inspired more young bands to start than any act this side of Kiss, and that doesn't seem to be changing.” In 2004, Green Day released the rock opera American Idiot which captured the nation’s attention, selling more than 8 million copies in the U.S. alone and taking home the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. Mojo declared “It's exhilarating stuff, the kind of record that sets new parameters as to what is possible from a punk rock'n'roll band in the 21st century.” In 2010, a stage adaptation of American Idiot debuted on Broadway to critical and commercial acclaim.  Released in 2020, Green Day’s thirteenth studio album Father Of All...debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Album Sales Chart and #1 in both the U.K. and Australia. Pitchfork declared, “Green Day’s most fetching and youthful songs in ages. The trio sounds reinvigorated, more like hungry newcomers staking their claim.” In July 2021, Green Day embarked on The Hella Mega Tour (w/ Fall Out Boy & Weezer). The global tour included 29 sold-out stadium gigs – including renowned venues like London Stadium and Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium.  On October 24, the band announced the release  of their highly anticipated 14th studio album, Saviors, coming January 19, ‘24 and released their brand new single, “The American Dream Is Killing Me.”

Here is a quick look at the seasons so you can decide when to visit Moscow!

The summer months (June-August) are a great time to travel to Moscow to take advantage of the enjoyable mild temperatures. This is considered peak travel season. Bear in mind that hotel prices rise along with the temperatures!

If you’re planning a trip to Moscow during fall (September-November) try to plan for early fall. This way the temperatures will still be pleasant and winter won’t be threatening.

Russian winters (December-February) are not for the faint of heart as Napoleon learned to his peril. Some days the sun will be out for less than an hour, and snow is guaranteed. Although winters are exceptionally cold, this is when you’ll get a true glimpse of the Moscow experience!

The best time to visit Moscow is during spring  (March-May). The temperatures will begin to creep up and the sun begins to shine for significant portions of the day. Hotel rates will also have yet to skyrocket into peak ranges!

With a Moscow City Pass , you can experience the best of Moscow at the CHEAPEST prices. Discounts, attractions, tickets, and even public transport are all standards in any good city pass – be sure invest now and save them $$$ when you arrive!

Moscow is a large city with many accommodation options to choose from. Staying in a location that fits with your travel plans will only enhance your Moscow itinerary. Here is a brief introduction to a few great areas of the city we recommend checking out!

The best place to stay in Moscow to be close to all the action is Kitay-Gorod. This charming neighborhood will put you within walking distance to Moscow’s famous Red Square, thus cutting down on travel time. This will allow you to see more of the city in a shorter amount of time!

It’s surrounded by restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops. If you’re a first-time visitor to Moscow, or just planning a quick weekend in Moscow, then this area is perfect for you!

Another great area to consider is the Zamoskvorechye district. This area of the city offers a blend of new and old Moscow. It has an artsy vibe and there are plenty of fun sites you can explore outside of the main touristy areas of Moscow.

Of course, as in all areas of Moscow, it’s close to public transportation that will quickly connect you with the rest of the city and make your Moscow itinerary super accessible!

Best Airbnb in Moscow – Exclusive Apartment in Old Moscow

Modern and cozy, this apartment is in the heart of Old Moscow. Bordering the Basmanny and Kitay-Gorod districts, this two-bedroom flat is walking distance to the Kremlin and Red Square. Safe, quiet, and comfortable, this is the best Airbnb in Moscow, no question!

Best Budget Hotel in Moscow – Izmailovo Alfa Hotel

The Izmailovo Alfa Hotel is a very highly rated accommodation that provides all the components necessary for a comfortable trip to Moscow. There is an on-site restaurant, bar, fitness center, and an airport shuttle service. The rooms are modern and spacious and are equipped with a TV, heating/air conditioning, minibar, and more!

Best Luxury Hotel in Moscow – Crowne Plaza Moscow World Trade Centre

Elegantly furnished rooms are equipped with a minibar, flat-screen TV,  in-room safes, as well as tea and coffee making facilities! Bathrooms come with bathrobes, slippers, and free toiletries. There is also an onsite restaurant, bar, and fitness center.

Best Hostel in Moscow – Godzillas Hostel

Godzillas Hostel is located in the center of Moscow, just a short walk from all the major tourist attractions and the metro station. Guests will enjoy all the usual hostel perks such as self-catering facilities, 24-hour reception, Free Wi-Fi, and security lockers. This is one of the best hostels in Moscow and its wonderful social atmosphere and will make your vacation in Moscow extra special!

Godzillas Hostel is one of our favourites in Moscow but they’re not taking guests right now. We’re not sure if they’re closed for good but we hope they’ll come back soon.

An important aspect of planning any trip is figuring out the transportation situation. You’re probably wondering how you’re going to get to all of your Moscow points of interest right? Luckily, this sprawling city has an excellent network of public transportation that will make traveling a breeze!

The underground metro system is the quickest and most efficient way to travel around Moscow. Most visitors rely exclusively on this super-efficient transportation system, which allows you to get to pretty much anywhere in the city! It’s also a great option if you’re planning a Moscow itinerary during the colder months, as you’ll be sheltered from the snow and freezing temperatures!

If you prefer above-ground transportation, buses, trams, and trolleybuses, run throughout the city and provide a rather comfortable alternative to the metro.

Moscow’s metro, buses, trams, and trolleybuses are all accessible with a ‘Troika’ card. This card can be topped up with any sum of money at a metro cash desk. The ticket is simple, convenient, and even refundable upon return to a cashier!

No matter which method you choose, you’ll never find yourself without an easy means of getting from point A to point B!

Red Square | Moscow Kremlin | Lenin’s Mausoleum | St. Basil’s Cathedral  | GUM Department Store

Spend the first day of your itinerary taking your own self guided Moscow walking tour around the historic Red Square! This is Moscow’s compact city center and every stop on this list is within easy walking distance to the next! Get ready to see all of the top Moscow landmarks!

• Food nearby: Check out Bar BQ Cafe for friendly service and good food in a great location! The atmosphere is upbeat and they’re open 24/7!

The Red Square is Moscow’s historic fortress and the center of the Russian government. The origins of the square date back to the late 15th century, when Ivan the Great decided to expand the Kremlin to reflect Moscow’s growing power and prestige!

During the 20th century, the square became famous as the site for demonstrations designed to showcase Soviet strength. Visiting the Red Square today, you’ll find it teeming with tourists, who come to witness its magical architecture up close!

The square is the picture postcard of Russian tourism, so make sure to bring your camera when you visit! No matter the season, or the time of day, it’s delightfully photogenic! 

It’s also home to some of Russia’s most distinguishing and important landmarks, which we’ve made sure to include further down in this itinerary. It’s an important center of Russia’s cultural life and one of the top places to visit in Moscow!

In 1990, UNESCO designated Russia’s Red Square as a World Heritage site. Visiting this historic site is a true bucket-list event and essential addition to your itinerary for Moscow!

Day 1 / Stop 2 – The Moscow Kremlin

• Why it’s awesome: The Moscow Kremlin complex includes several palaces and cathedrals and is surrounded by the Kremlin wall. It also houses the principal museum of Russia (the Kremlin Armory).
• Cost: USD $15.00
• Food nearby: Bosco Cafe is a charming place to grat a casual bite to eat. They have excellent coffee and wonderful views of the Red Square and the Moscow Kremlin!

The iconic Moscow Kremlin , also known as the Kremlin museum complex, sits on Borovitsky Hill, rising above the Moscow River. It is a fortified complex in the center of the city, overlooking several iconic buildings in the Red Square!

It’s the best known of the Russian Kremlins – citadels or fortress’ protecting and dominating a city. During the early decades of the Soviet era, the Kremlin was a private enclave where the state’s governing elite lived and worked.

The Kremlin is outlined by an irregularly shaped triangular wall that encloses an area of 68 acres! The existing walls and towers were built from 1485 to 1495. Inside the Kremlin museum complex, there are five palaces, four cathedrals, and the enclosing Kremlin Wall with Kremlin towers.

The Armoury Chamber is a part of the Grand Kremlin Palace’s complex and is one of the oldest museums of Moscow, established in 1851. It showcases Russian history and displays many cherished relics. Definitely make sure to check out this museum while you’re here!

The churches inside the Moscow Kremlin are the Cathedral of the Dormition, Church of the Archangel, Church of the Annunciation, and the bell tower of Ivan Veliki (a church tower).

The five-domed Cathedral of the Dormition is considered the most famous.

This means you won’t be able to spend as long as you’d like viewing the mausoleum, but you’ll still be able to get a good look. Pictures and filming while inside the building are strictly prohibited, and security guards will stop you if they see you breaking this rule.

This iconic cathedral has become a symbol of Russia due to its distinguishing architecture and prominent position inside the Red Square. It’s one of the most beautiful, wonderful, and mesmerizing historical cathedrals in the world!

The interior of the church surprises most people when they visit. In contrast to the large exterior, the inside is not so much one large area, but rather a collection of smaller areas, with many corridors and small rooms. There are 9 small chapels and one mausoleum grouped around a central tower.

Visiting the inside is like walking through a maze, there are even small signs all around the cathedral tracing where to walk, and pointing you in the right direction! The walls are meticulously decorated and painted with intricate floral designs and religious themes.

The Alexander Garden was one of the first urban public parks in Moscow! The garden premiered in 1821 and was built to celebrate Russia’s victory over Napoleon’s forces in 1812!

The park is beautiful and well maintained with paths to walk on and benches to rest on. The park contains three separate gardens: the upper garden, middle garden, and lower garden.

Located in the upper garden, towards the main entrance to the park is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with its eternal flame. This monument was created in 1967 and contains the body of a soldier who fell during the Great Patriotic War!

The park stretches along all the length of the western Kremlin wall for about half a mile. Due to its central location in the city, it’ll be easily accessible when you’re out exploring The Red Square.

It provides a bit of relief from the city’s high-energy city streets. Bring a picnic lunch, go for a walk, or just sit and people watch, this is one of the best Moscow sites to wind-down and relax!

Ostankino Television Tower

• Television and radio tower in Moscow

Izmaylovo District

• The most popular attractions in this district are the kremlin and the flea market
• Outside of the city center and easy to reach via metro
• Most popular during the summer and on weekends

The Izmailovo Kremlin was established as a cultural center and molded after traditional Russian architecture. This colorful complex is home to several single-subject museums, including a Russian folk art museum and a vodka museum!

Next to the Kremlin is the Izmailovo open-air market, which dates back to the 17th century! The market is connected to the Izmailovo Kremlin by a wooden bridge. Pick up all your Russian souvenirs here, including traditional handicrafts, paintings, books, retro toys, and Soviet memorabilia!

For something a little different, check out the Museum of Soviet Arcade Games! The museum features roughly 60 machines from the Soviet era, including video games, pinball machines, and collaborative hockey foosball! The machines inside the museum were produced in the USSR in the mid-1970s.

The best part is, most of the games are still playable! Purchase tickets and try the games out for yourself! The museum also has a neat little screening room that plays old Soviet cartoons and an area with Soviet magazines! This unique attraction is a fun addition to a 3 day itinerary in Moscow, and an attraction that all ages will enjoy! 

Whether you’re spending one day in Moscow, or more, safety is an important thing to keep in mind when traveling to a big city! Overall, Moscow is a very safe place to visit. However, it is always recommended that tourists take certain precautions when traveling to a new destination!

The police in Moscow is extremely effective at making the city a safe place to visit and do their best to patrol all of the top Moscow, Russia tourist attractions. However, tourists can still be a target for pickpockets and scammers.

Moscow has a huge flow of tourists, therefore there is a risk for pickpocketing. Simple precautions will help eliminate your chances of being robbed. Stay vigilant, keep your items close to you at all times, and don’t flash your valuables!

If you’re planning a solo Moscow itinerary, you should have no need to worry, as the city is also considered safe for solo travelers, even women. Stay in the populated areas, try and not travel alone late at night, and never accept rides from strangers or taxis without a meter and correct signage.

The threat of natural disasters in Moscow is low, with the exception of severe winters when the temperature can dip below freezing! Bring a good, warm jacket if you visit in Winter.

However, please note that Russian views on homsexuality are far less accepting than those in Western Europe. Likewise, Non-Caucasian travellers may sadly encounter racism in Russia .

ALWAYS sort out your backpacker insurance before your trip. There’s plenty to choose from in that department, but a good place to start is Safety Wing .

Could some one just clarify something for me?

Is the museum at Novaya Ploshchsd still open?

It's the same museum. They used to occupy a former church building at Novaya Pl. 12 which was recently given back to the Russian Orthodox Church and the museum moved to Zuboovsky 2.

Thanks for the information
