Klarborg nisser

De søde Klarborg nisser er noget af det mest populære julepynt vi har i Danmark. De søde, smilende nisser fra Etly Klarborg er derfor indbegrebet af dansk julestemning.

De runde kinder, dybrøde huer og traditionelle nisseudtryk, som alligevel er helt sit eget har gjort de fine Klarborg Nisser letgenkendelige og meget elskede. Både blandt små og store.

Her får du historien om de danske Klarborg Nisser og kan samtidig læse mere om de forskellige typer nisser, som nisserikker, årsnissepar og andet julepynt fra Etly Klarborg.

Fra Trip Trap nisser til Klarborg nisser

Klarborg nisser med forskellige navne, etly klarborg årsnissepar 2024 – og tidligere nissepar, klarborg nisserikker, klarborg snemænd, andet julepynt fra etly klarborg.

Da de første Klarborg nisser kom på gaden i 2020 var det under et andet navn – nemlig Trip Trap nisser. Fordi nisserne er blevet folkeeje, er der stadig mange, der kalder dem netop ved deres gamle navn – selvom Trip Trap nisserne for længst har skiftet navn til Etly Klarborg nisser.

Årsagen til skiftet var, at Klarborg nisserne tidligere blev fremstillet som et brand under Trip Trap, men i 2015 havde opnået så stort popularitet at Etly Klarborg valgte at trække nisserne tilbage i sit eget selvstændige brand: Etly Klarborg.

Tidligere årsnissepar og nisserikker hedder derfor i nogle tilfælde stadig Trip Trap nisser, mens de nyere i stedet hedder Klarborg nisser. Det er dog kun navnet, der har ændret sig. Nisserne er præcis lige så charmerende, som de altid har været.

Alle Klarborg nisser har deres eget navn og disse er hentet i Etly Klarborgs egen omgangskreds. For eksempel er der nisser opkaldt efter hendes 3 sønner Martin, Mads og Mathias, men også resten af familien, naboer, venner og andre gode mennesker har en Klarborg nisse opkaldt efter sig.

Det giver hver Klarborg nisse sin egen historie og med værksted og bopæl i det nordjyske er der garanti for hjemlig, dansk julehygge, når det er bedst.

I dag er der dog over 300 forskellige Klarborg nisser med hvert deres søde udtryk. Derfor er Trip Trap nisser – eller Klarborg nisser – også en populær navngivningsgave eller dåbsgave, fordi de mest populære navne oftest findes som Klarborg nisser.

Du kan se alle de hyggelige nisser fra Etly Klarborg her:

Hvert år laver Etly Klarborg et årsnissepar. Dette par er et samlerobjekt hos mange Klarborg-elskere og en populær julegaveide eller mandelgaveide.

Hvert årsnissepar har sin egen historie og der er kommet par på gaden hvert år siden 2000. Det betyder at Etly Klarborgs årsnissepar 2020 er en jubilæumsudgave.

Har du endnu ikke startet din samling af årsnissepar – eller mangler du nogle – kan du se alle årsnisserne her.

Et andet samlerobjekt blandt Trip Trap nisser er de søde Klarborg nisserikker.

Nisserikker er små nisser med ophæng, som kan pynte på juletræet, en troldegren eller en pyntekæde, hvorfra de kan sprede glæde hele december.

Se søde Etly Klarborg nisserikker er populære, fordi de kan pynte på en hyggelig måde uden at dominere – og ligesom de fine årsnissepar, kommer der også hvert år et nyt sæt nisserikker på gaden. Du kan finde både årets nisserikker 2022 og sættene fra de tidligere år herunder.

Udover nisser laver Etly Klarborg også fine snemænd. Snemænd er indbegrebet af barndom – med hvis jul og masser af magi i at kunne vække den kolde sne til live ved at forme søde, sjove og finurlige snemænd og snekoner.

Etly Klarborg snemænd har navne ligesom nisserne og der kommer ligeledes et nyt snemandspar på gaden hvert år. De første Klarborg snemænd så dagens lys i 2014 og du kan finde alle snemænd og snekoner herunder.

Udover Klarborg nisser, årsnisspar, nisserikker og snemænd er der også masser af andet hyggeligt julepynt og juletilbehør at finde fra Etly Klarborg.

Faktisk har hun skabt et helt univers, som gør det muligt at pynte hele hjemmet op med Klarborg jylepynt.

En af tingene er tilbehør til de søde Klarborg nisser i form at halmballer, rensdyr, julegæs, julemus, juletræer og trækasser som kan pynte sammen med nisserne og snemændene og dermed skabe et rigtig hyggeligt nisseunivers.

Klarborg nisser er efterhånden et udtryk som vi alle har hørt eller kender til. – Nogle husker måske også de populære figurer under navnet Trip Trap nisser.

Alle de skønne nisser fra Klarborg-familien, er i mere end 30 år blevet produceret og designet med hjertet. Og de er gået lige i hjertet på os danskere og lige ind i vores oppyntning til jul. De har skabt en masse smil og varme i mange år. Og vil også gøre det i mange år frem.

Klarborg nisser 2021 og tidligere – Også kendt som Trip Trap nisser.

De fleste kender nok de søde Klarborg nisser – tidligere kendt som Trip Trap-nisser – som hvert år fylder alverdens stuer med hygge og kærlighed! Hvert år kommer der et nyt, skønt nissepar på gaden, og den danske designer Etly Klarborg kreerer generelt massevis af søde nisser, som spreder den helt rette julestemning år efter år! Læs mere om de skønne Klarborg nisser lige her!

De dejlige årsnisser

Siden Klarborg nisserne først kom på markedet er der hvert år blevet designet et nyt, dejligt nissepar. Det betyder, at mange juleglade sjæle i alle aldre samler på de søde nisser og hvert år udvider familien med et nyt nissepar. Nisserne har hvert sit navn, så man altid ved, hvilken Klarborg nisse der er snak om, hvis man omtaler en af de glade julenisser.

Årsnissepar 2019 – Rosa & Aske

Årsnissepar 2018 – Magne & Victoria

Årets nissepar 2017 hedder Viggo og Laurine og er et skønt par! Viggo er en dejlig, rund nisse, der sidder med en tromme. Laurine er glad for dyr og sidder derfor sammen med en sød, lille kanin.

Årets nisseparret fra 2008 hedder Niels og Anja , og de er vilde med sne – så snart jorden er hvid, er de klar med deres kælk og ski, og så er det ellers bare afsted!

Parret fra år 2012 er et rigtig naturligt par, der sætter pris på at være i skoven. Ludvig og Karla hedder de, og de har været ude og samle brænde, så der kan blive varmt og trygt derhjemme. Der er altså masser af skønne nissepar at vælge imellem, og de har alle en fin, lille baggrundshistorie med sig, så man kan sætte sig ind i nissernes forunderlige verden år efter år!

Klarborg nisser til juletræet

Ud over at du kan samle de fine årsnissepar, som kan sprede god stemning derhjemme i stuerne, kan du også pynte juletræet med smukke nisser fra Klarborg!

De såkaldte ”nisserikker” er mindre udgaver af Klarborg nisserne, som passer perfekt til at hænge på juletræet! De kommer med en snor i, så de er lige til at hænge på grenene.

• Du kan for eksempel få to søde nisser fra år 2009 , hvor den ene sidder i en træsko og den anden i en tromme.
• Dem fra år 2007 sidder i henholdsvis en julegave og et kornneg.
• Du kan også få et sæt med 4 fra år 2011, hvor en af dem for eksempel sidder i et kræmmerhus.

Der er altså masser af valgmuligheder med Klarborg nisserne, og man kan umuligt undgå at holde af dem! Med deres små, glade ansigter og buttede kroppe, som vidner om at de lever godt og får masser af lækker julemad i deres små maver, spreder de hygge i uanede mængder!

Nisserne sørger for nedtællingen til jul

Ud over at nisserne fås som herlige pyntegenstande, kan de også fås som forskellige former for lysestager. Klarborg nisserne elsker – som alle julenisser nu gør – julen over alt på jorden, og derfor holder de også nøje øje med hvornår det endelig bliver tid til at danse om træet. De følger nedtællingen til jul med ekstrem interesse, og derfor kan du naturligvis få en fin kalenderstage , hvor nissen Paw sidder og følger med i nedbrændingen af kalenderlyset og dermed hver dag kan glæde sig over, at vi er kommet en dag nærmere året hyggeligste aften! Også stager til adventslyst kan du naturligvis få med de søde Klarborg nisser!

Der er for eksempel en fin stage i træ med plads til 4 lys. Den kan selvfølgelig bruges som en helt almindelig stage, men med sine 4 lysholdere er den altså også oplagt som adventsstage. Her sidder nissen Birk og følger med og er med til at skabe lys og varme derhjemme i stuen. En anden kalenderstage med plads til et større kalenderlys findes også i sortimentet. Denne er ligeledes lavet i træ og her er det nisserne Tue og Trille, der sidder og følger med i nedtællingen til juleaften.

Klarborg nisser til et hvert formål

Som nævnt er der flere forskellige pragtfulde lysestager med nisser, der spændt følger nedtællingen til deres yndlingsaften på hele året!

Derudover kan du imidlertid også få lys med print af Klarborg nisserne på. For eksempel kan du købe smukke adventslys med en sød nisse på, som ønsker glædelig jul. Lysene brænder hver i cirka 14 timer, så der er tid nok til at jule derud af hver eneste søndag op til jul!

Hvis slet ikke du kan få nok af de skønne nisser designet af Etly Klarborg, kan du også købe fine servietter med nisserne på! Så kan de tilmed få lov til at pynte på julebordet, og de er med, når I går i gang med at mæske jer i lækker flæskesteg, and og ris a la mande i lange baner!

”Nisser” til enhver højtid

Etly Klarborg har ret godt styr på at designe julenisser, som pynter i mange danskeres hjem hele december måned. Det er imidlertid ikke blot nisser, der indgår i hendes repertoire, men også masser af andre fine pyntegenstande!

For eksempel er der også masser af skønne snemænd og –koner, som kan pynte til jul, hvis du skal have noget lidt andet end blot nisser ind i det lille hjem! Elfi og Eluf fra år 2015 er mere end klar på at komme ind i varmen og skabe god stemning, og det samme gælder Finni og Fry fra år 2014 ! Ud over julepynt kan du tilmed få pynt til andre højtider, hvis du simpelthen bare er helt vild med Klarborgs design!

Du kan for eksempel få masser af pynt til at skabe glæde henover påsken. Hvad med den søde harekilling Nøk ? Eller måske lammet Lammi , som med sine store ører og nuttede ansigt er med til at skabe den helt rette stemning til påske, hvor solen så småt er begyndt at titte frem igen. Også søde påskekyllinger kan du få, og de støtter endda et godt formål! Der er tre af slagsen – Snulle, Rylle og Snip – og for hver solgte påskekylling går der en tier til Kræftens Bekæmpelse! Det er altså ikke blot godt design men også i en god sags tjeneste!

Mere om Klarborgs nisser:

Etly Klarborg har designet nisser i mere end 30 år med inspiration fra den klassiske gamle danske jul. Nisserne er kendetegnet ved deres buttede kinder og bordeaux røde farve. Der er designet mere end 300 forskellige nisser gennem årerne. Alle nisser er designet med fantasi, leg, kærlighed, respekt og hygge. 

I mange år blev nisserne solgt af Trip Trap, og derfor fik de navnet Trip Trap nisser. Men nu er nisserne vendt hjem og hedder derfor Klarborg nisser. Udover navnet er nisserne helt de samme, og har de søde udtryk og den høje kvalitet :-)

Historien om Klarborg Nisserne

Etlys interesse for nisser startede da hun var 4 år, hvor hun lavede nisser i ler. Men idéen om at designe nisser fik hun først, da hun fik børn. Alle hendes tre sønner har lagt navn til en nisse, og samtidig har Etly fundet inspiration til sine nisser og deres historie fra venner og families børn. Du kan læse mere om hvorfor Trip Trap-nisserne fik nyt navn her .

I 1986 åbnede Etly Klarborg sin egen gårdbutik, hvor der er mange søde, hyggelige og inspirerende udstilinger med nisserne.

Nisser som en vigtig del af dansk jul.

Når det kommer til jul, spiller nisser en central rolle i danske festligheder. Fra de små nisser der pryder juletræet, til de store nisser der befolker byens torve, er disse hyggelige og drillesyge figurer overalt.

Men hvorfor er julenisser så væsentlige for den danske jul? Det skyldes en kombination af kulturel tradition, hygge og en hengivenhed til det nostalgiske. De bringer et strejf af magi og glæde til julen, og deres tilstedeværelse er blevet synonym med den festlige sæson. De danske nisser er mere end bare julepynt, de er en essentiel del af det danske julelandskab.

Og i centrum for denne tradition er nogle af Danmarks mest elskede nissekunstnere, såsom Etly Klarborg. Deres unikke kreationer er blevet en uvurderlig del af dansk julepynt og -dekorationer, og er med til at forme hvordan vi ser og forstår nisser i dag. Gennem historien har kunstnere som Etly Klarborg formået at frembringe udgaver der spænder fra de søde og charmerende, til de sjove nisser med et glimt i øjet.

Fra gamle nisser til moderne fortolkninger, er de små eventyrlige væsener blevet en integreret del af det danske julelandskab. De repræsenterer en dyb kærlighed til tradition, en forbindelse med fortiden og en samlet glæde ved julen, der spænder over generationer.

Nu vil vi dykke dybere ned i de forskellige typer nisser, deres rolle som julepynt, og hvordan de bidrager til at skabe en uforglemmelig dansk jul.

Definition og historie af “nisser” i dansk kultur og tradition

“Nisser” er et ikonisk element i dansk kultur og tradition. De er små mytologiske væsener, kendt for deres luskede adfærd og velkendte røde og hvide tøj med den ikoniske nissehue. Historisk set er nisser blevet portrætteret som beskyttere af hjem og gårde, og har været genstand for talrige folkeviser og fortællinger. Den moderne skildring af dem, som vi kender den i dag, er dog dybt rodfæstet i den danske juletradition.

Nisser som julepynt

De små, charmerende væsener, der med deres ikoniske røde huer og skæg bringer glæde og magi til julemåneden, er en integreret del af den danske julepynt. Vi skal i denne del derfor se nærmere nisser som julepynt. Vi vil udforske de forskellige typer af nisse-julepynt, deres materialer, stilarter og formål. Vi vil også diskutere den lange og rige tradition for at bruge dem som julepynt og se på, hvordan danskere dekorerer deres hjem med dem. Det er en dybere dykning i, hvordan nisser ikke kun har formet vores julepynt, men også har formet vores måde at fejre jul på.

Forskellige typer af nisse-julepynt: materialer, stilarter og formål

Nisser er en alsidig del af dansk julepynt. Deres udformning varierer meget i størrelse, materiale, og udtryk, alt fra små til store julenisser, nogen fremstillet af keramik, andre af træ, tekstil eller glas. Den klassiske nisse er ofte portrætteret med rødt tøj, en lang hvidt skæg, og en spids hue. Men i moderne tid er de blevet meget forskellige, og de kommer nu i et væld af stilarter, fra de traditionelle til mere minimalistiske, nutidige design.

Nogle kunstnere som Etly Klarborg har endda skabt deres egen særlige stil af nisser, kendt som Klarborg nisser (eller Trip Trap nisser), der er elsket af mange danskere. Disse udgaver fra Etly Klarborg er for mange ikke kun julepynt, men også samleobjekter.

Traditionen med at bruge nisser som julepynt

Julepynt nisser har en lang og rig historie, og er en stor del af dansk julepynt generelt. Traditionen med at anvende dem som julepynt går langt tilbage i tiden. Gamle julenisser kan findes i antikvitetsbutikker og loppemarkeder, og er eftertragtet af samlere. Disse historiske stykker er vidnesbyrd om nissernes centrale rolle i dansk juletradition og kultur.

I moderne tid fortsætter traditionen med nisser som julepynt, men med nye fortolkninger. Fra Klarborgs Trip Trap nisser og Maileg nisser, er danskere forblevet tro mod deres kærlighed til de små magiske væsener, mens de fortsætter med at omfavne nye stilarter og designs. Det er ikke ualmindeligt at se danske hjem fyldt med en blanding af nisser fra forskellige æraer og stilarter, der hver især tilføjer deres egen charme til festlighederne.

Nisser i hjemmet

Nisser er en uundværlig del af julen i mange danske hjem. De kan findes pryder alt fra juletræer til vindueskarme, døråbninger, og pejse. De mindre udgaver bruges ofte som ophæng på juletræet eller som borddekorationer. Større modeller kan være hovedattraktionen i en juledekoration, ofte omgivet af andre elementer som lys, julekugler og grønne grene for at skabe et fuldendt nisselandskab.

Julepynt nisser, som dem fra Klarborg, er især populære og er kendt for deres karakteristiske og charmerende design. Årets store begivenhed for mange er udgivelsen af årets nissepar fra Klarborg, der altid er ivrigt ventet og tilføjer noget nyt og spændende til samlingen.

I det hele taget er julenisser som julepynt en elsket tradition, der fortsætter med at blomstre i danske hjem. Uanset om det er nye eller gamle, sjove eller traditionelle, er de en uvurderlig del af den danske juleånd.

Etly Klarborg Nisser

Etly Klarborg, kendt for hendes signatur Klarborg nisser, er en anerkendt dansk kunstner, hvis arbejde har haft stor indflydelse på, hvordan vi ser og forstår dem i dag. Hun begyndte at skabe nisser i en alder af blot 13 år og har siden udviklet en markant stil, der er genkendelig og elsket på tværs af Danmark. Hendes version af de folkeelskede små væsener er kendt for deres store, livlige øjne, runde kroppe, og karakteristiske udtryk, som straks vækker glæde og julestemning.

Klarborg nissernes særkende og betydning i dansk juletradition

Hvad gør Klarborgs keramik nisser så specielle? Hver nisse er udformet med stor detaljerigdom og personlighed. De er ikke bare julepynt nisser til dekoration, men små personligheder, der hver især fortæller en historie.

De er blevet en fast del af dansk juletradition, og de betragtes af mange som uvurderlige samlerelementer. Traditionen med årets nissepar er som sagt særligt populær, med mange danskere der ivrigt afventer afsløringen af det nye par hvert år.

Påvirkning og popularitet af Klarborg nisser i Danmark og udlandet

Klarborgs nisser har haft stor indflydelse på den danske opfattelse af nisser og danske juledekorationer generelt. Deres popularitet strækker sig også ud over Danmarks grænser, med internationale samlere og juleentusiaster, der værdsætter deres unikke charme. Med både en dedikeret webshop, og en udbredning til isenkræmmere og boligforretninger, er disse figurer blevet tilgængelige for en bredere publikum, hvilket yderligere bidrager til deres succes.

Vil du finde Klarborg nisser på tilbud, anbefaler vi, at du køber dem uden for julesæsonen. Her kan du ofte finde en Klarborg nisser outlet, hvor figurerne sælges til tilbudspris.

Uanset om det er gamle eller nye, klassiske eller moderne, er det tydeligt, at nisser – og især Klarborgs – er en dybt forankret del af dansk juletradition. Deres charme og karakter har fanget hjerterne hos mange, og de fortsætter med at bringe glæde og julestemning hvert år.

Nisser som juledekorationer i offentlige rum

Ikke kun i hjemmene, men også i offentlige rum, spiller nisser en betydelig rolle i dansk jul. Byerne i Danmark forvandles til magiske nisselandskaber i december måned, med store julenisser der pryder gader, torve og butiksvinduer. Disse er ofte meget større end dem, vi finder i hjemmene, og de er designet til at modstå de udendørs vinterforhold.

De hyggelige julefigurer findes i mange former og størrelser i det offentlige rum. Det kan være alt fra en enkelt stor julenisse, der sidder på toppen af et indkøbscenter, til en hel flok, der pryder et julevindue. Bramming nisser er et eksempel, der ofte bruges i disse større dekorationer, kendt for deres holdbarhed og detaljerede udformning. Det var desuden Bramming der startede den velkendte tradition med kravlenisser, hvor folk kunne klippe dem ud fra et ark pap eller papir, og hænge dem op i hjemmet.

Nisser i dansk julemarkeder: deres betydning og rolle

Julemandens små hjælpere spiller også en fremtrædende rolle på danske julemarkeder. Fra boder der sælger julepynt til dem der tilbyder gode tilbud, er nisser er et centralt element på disse markeder. De skaber en hyggelig og festlig atmosfære, og er en stor del af oplevelsen for både børn og voksne.

På disse markeder kan man finde et bredt udvalg af figurer, fra traditionelle håndlavede keramik nisser til moderne og kreative fortolkninger. Dette er også stedet, hvor man kan finde spændende udgaver som årets nissepar, og andre populære udgaver som Maileg julenisser.

Nisser i folkeviser, legender, og historier

Julenisser er også en del af den danske kulturelle fortælling, som er repræsenteret i folkeviser, legender, og historier. Disse fortællinger portrætterer ofte nisser som luskede, men hjælpsomme væsener, der lever i tæt samhørighed med menneskene, men ofte i skjul.

De har en særlig plads i det danske folkemindesamling og bidrager til vores forståelse og kærlighed til disse små skabninger. De repræsenterer en forbindelse til fortiden, en påmindelse om de danske rødder, og en magisk tilføjelse til julens festligheder.

En væsentlig del af den danske juletradition

I artiklen her har vi set på hvordan disse karakterer er en væsentlig del af den danske juletradition. Fra de mindste små nisser på juletræet, til store der pynter i byens centrum, nisser er overalt i juletiden.

Etly Klarborgs bidrag til den danske julekultur kan ikke overvurderes. Hendes karakteristiske versioner af nissen har givet os nye måder at opfatte og interagere med disse julefigurer på. Uanset om det er

Som kulturelle skikke ændrer sig, er det muligt, at også nissernes rolle vil ændre sig. Nye materialer og designmetoder betyder, at vi kan forvente at se en bredere vifte af julepynt og juledekorationer med de små julevæsener i fremtiden.

Men trods disse forandringer, er det sikkert, at deres charme og betydning i dansk kultur vil bestå. De bringer glæde, varme og en følelse af nostalgi, der er uundværlig i juletiden. Fra de gamle til de mest moderne, er nisser en elsket del af den danske juletradition. De hjælper os med at fejre julen, og minder os om de dybe rødder og rige traditioner, der gør denne tid på året så speciel.

City Break St. Petersburg & Moscow

About the tour.

MOSCOW is illuminating reflections … Moscow is the capital and most populous city of Russia. Situated on the Moskva River in the Central Federal District of European Russia, the city is well known for its architecture, particularly its historic buildings such as Saint Basil's Cathedral in Russian architectural style with a richly decorated and multicolored facade. St.PETERSBURG is a stroll along a historic canal… Saint Petersburg is a city situated on the Neva River, at the head of the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic sea. It is Russia's second-largest city after Moscow. Another nickname of St. Petersburg is The City of White Nights because of a natural phenomenon which arises due to the closeness to the polar region and ensures that in summer the nights of the city do not get completely dark for a month. Saint Petersburg is home to the Hermitage, one of the largest art museums in the world.

What to do in Moscow in 3 days

• Day 1: The Red Square, GUM Department Store, St. Basil's Cathedral, Lenin's Mausoleum, and the State Historical Museum.
• Day 2: The Kremlin, the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, Gorky Park, and the Bolshoi Theatre.
• Day 3: Izmailovsky Market, Bunker 42, and Zaryadye Park.

Important things to know when planning a trip to Moscow

The best time to plan a trip to Moscow is April-May and September-October . During these months temperatures are (generally) quite comfortable, though even in April there can be a bit of snow! The summer months are hot, both in regard to temperature as well as activities in the city. While it's a nice time to visit, it's also the busiest time of the year to visit Moscow. Hotel prices reflect this as well and summer definitely isn't a great time for budget travelers to visit Moscow. Winter in Moscow is cold, and I mean seriously cold (-15°C isn't rare). However, if you can withstand the subzero temperatures and freezing winds, it can be a magical time to visit. A snow-covered St. Basil’s Cathedral is a sight you will never forget. Keep in mind that days are short in winter and be sure to bring plenty of warm winter clothes!

The official currency in Russia is the Russian Ruble (₽ or RUB). Here you can find the current exchange rates, at the time of writing €1 is approximately 70RUB and $1 is around 62RUB.

Yes, you probably do. Getting a visa for Russia requires a bit of time and effort. You need to fill out several forms and provide a detailed travel itinerary and information about your accommodation. Also, you will need a Visa Support Letter which can be provided by your travel agency or your hotel. Depending on your nationality, there may be additional requirements, please refer to the information provided on the website of your country's Embassy in Russia.

While most of the things to see in Moscow listed in this post are within walking distance of each other, sometimes you will have to travel a bit further afield. The best way to get around in Moscow is by metro. It's cheap and efficient and a sightseeing activity in itself, because Moscow has the most beautiful metro stations in the world ! Among the most exquisitely decorated stations are Komsomolskaya, Novoslobodskaya, Mayakovskaya, Taganskaya, and Prospect Mira Station, but there are many more worthwhile stations to be found in the Moscow underground. You can purchase a single ticket from one of the ticket machines or get a rechargeable Troika Card when you plan on taking the metro several times. Read more details on how to use the Moscow metro here . If you prefer to get around by taxi, that's possible too. We used the Gett app to order a taxi (similar to Uber) to avoid confusion about our intended destination and having to negotiate in Russian. A convenient extra for families is the Gett Kids option, these cars are outfitted with a car seat.

Moscow itinerary day 1

There is no better place to start your first day in Moscow, than at the world-famous Red Square.

This square is considered the central square of Moscow, not just because all the major streets start here, but also because no matter where you look when standing on this square, there are historic buildings all around.

Starting with the impressive GUM store and going clockwise, there is the colorful Saint Basil's Cathedral, the Kremlin, Lenin's Mausoleum, the State Historical Museum, and the Kazan Cathedral.

However, before entering any of these Moscow must-see attractions, allow yourself a moment to take in the view and let it sink in that you're standing on historical grounds (and a UNESCO site).

The Red Square was the official address of the Soviet government and played an important part in history. Many military parades have been held (and are still being held) here. It's the place where protests have taken place, as well as high-profile concerts from famous international artists.

All in all, it's one of the places in Moscow you can't miss during your Moscow city trip!

Yulia from That's What She Had: it might seem like visiting a department store is not something you’d do on the first visit to Russia’s capital.

But GUM is not like any other department store and is well worth your time, if only for its unique architecture.

First of all, it’s located right on Red Square which makes it an easy stop on your Moscow trip itinerary. Second, GUM is not a simple mall, but an institution built in the late XIX century.

The abbreviation stands for  Glavniy Universalniy Magazin or Main Universal Store. Its impressive facade extends for over 240 meters along the eastern side of Red Square.

Inside you’ll find a beautiful glass ceiling supported by a metal framework, not unlike the ones found in the old train stations of Great Britain. 

While shopping in GUM will cost you an arm and a leg, there’s one reason why tourists and locals come here anyways:  traditional Russian food  at Stolovaya #57. Stolovaya is Russian for canteen and this is where you can get your  pelmeni , borsch , and  pirozhki  fix!

Afterward, don’t forget to get the famous  plombir  ice cream in one of the kiosks on the ground floor.

Saint Basil's Cathedral with its colorful domes is easily recognizable and one of the most popular Moscow tourist attractions. The building, built on orders from Ivan the Terrible, was completed in 1561 to commemorate the victory over Kazan and Astrakhan.

Until the construction of Ivan the Great Bell Tower (which can be found within the walls of the Kremlin), it was the tallest building in Moscow.

The design of St. Basil's Cathedral is truly unique; it's shaped like the flame of a bonfire and not one building in a similar style can be found in the whole of Russia.

A legend tells the story of how Ivan the Terrible had the architects of the Cathedral blinded so they could never build anything comparable.

This is a myth, however, but the fact remains that Saint Basil's Cathedral is one of a kind and it's not surprising it has become the symbol of Russia.

Wendy from The Nomadic Vegan: Lenin Mausoleum is hard to miss. It's a stepped-pyramid construction that sits right at the base of the Kremlin walls on the western side of Red Square.

Entrance is free but note that opening hours are quite limited, with visiting hours lasting only from 10 am to 1 pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

If seeing Lenin's embalmed body is important to you, be sure to take this into account when planning your itinerary in Moscow.

One of my  top tips for travelers to Russia  is to arrive early, well before the mausoleum opens, as the queue is usually quite long. However, usually, the queue does move pretty quickly.

This is especially true now that they have lifted the ban on bags and cameras.

It used to be that all cameras, smartphones, and bags of any size had to be checked at a left-luggage office nearby. But now you can bring a small handbag or backpack as well as your camera and phone.

Photography inside the mausoleum is still strictly forbidden, but you are allowed to take photos of the graves of various other important Russian figures that line the path leading to the mausoleum.

Once you finally enter the mausoleum, the atmosphere is surprisingly peaceful and uncrowded. It doesn't feel nearly as rushed as when visiting Mao Ze Dong's tomb in Beijing or Ho Chi Minh's body in Hanoi , for example.

The illumination of the body is very well done and would make for superb photography if it wasn't forbidden. As an added bonus, just after you exit, you'll see the grave of Joseph Stalin outside.

Rai from A Rai Of Light: the imposing crimson building at the northern end of the Red Square is the State Historical Museum.

By decree of Alexander III, the museum was built with the support of Russian historians, philosophers, and artists. The red brick building, dating from 1875, was designed in the Russian revival style by Vladimir Shervud.

The National Museum of Russia houses a collection of over four million items, devoted to the history of the country's ancient and imperial period.

The exhibitions include many items previously owned by members of the Romanov dynasty, such as documents, artwork, personal items, furnishings, and decorations from the palace interiors.

Another exhibit features relics of the prehistoric tribes that once inhabited this region.

Notable items include ancient manuscripts, birch-bark scrolls, a longboat excavated from the banks of the Volga River, and the largest coin collection in Russia, sourced from the museums in St Petersburg .

The State Historical Museum is open daily from 10 am to 6 pm. The entrance fee is 700₽ per adult.

Moscow itinerary day 2

When listing the best Moscow things to do, one cannot miss the Kremlin! The Kremlin houses the current seat of power in Russia and has done so for several decades.

Within its walls, the offices of the Russian Government can be found. During Soviet rule, the Kremlin was where all the important decisions were made but its history goes back for many centuries.

The first mention of the Kremlin in history books was in 1147, however, the current citadel dates from the 16th century.

The Kremlin is one of the major fortifications found in Europe, with walls that are up to 6.5 meters thick and 19 meters high in particular sections.

Inside the complex, there are many government buildings, however, these aren't accessible to the public.

Around Cathedral Square you'll find (as the name suggests) many churches and cathedrals, such as the Cathedral of the Archangel, Annunciation Cathedral, the Church of Laying Our Lady's Holy Robe, and Ivan the Great Bell-Tower.

While Cathedral Square is definitely worth visiting, the highlight of the Kremlin is a visit to the Armoury.

Inside you can find an impressive collection of Faberge eggs, beautiful dresses worn by Catherine the Great, intricately decorated thrones used by the Tsars, and much more. Unfortunately, photography is forbidden inside the Armoury.

Practical information about visiting the Kremlin

In order to visit both Cathedral Square and the Armoury, you will have to buy two separate tickets. A ticket to Cathedral Square costs 700₽ and a ticket to the Armoury is 1000₽. Prices mentioned are for adults, children below 16 years old are free.

Tickets can be bought at the ticket office onsite on the same day, however, there's no guarantee tickets will be available, especially during peak season.

Conveniently, tickets can be bought online as well, which is highly advisable if you want to make sure you'll be able to visit the Kremlin during your city trip to Moscow.

How much time to spend at the Kremlin

Be sure to allow plenty of time to explore the Kremlin, at least half a day but it's easy to spend more time as there is so much to see.

Please note there isn't any food sold inside the Kremlin, so bring a snack and enough water (especially in summer when it can get pretty hot).

Luggage storage

Backpacks aren't allowed inside the Kremlin, they can be stored (for free) in the cloakroom, but you can bring your camera and a small purse.

We could also take our Babyzen Yoyo stroller inside, which was very convenient as our 10-month-old son could take a nap while we explored the sights.

After the original Cathedral of Christ the Saviour was demolished by Stalin in 1931, a new version was completed in 2000.

The imposing building is the tallest Orthodox Christian church in the world (103 meters high), and is beautiful on the outside as well as on the inside.

Visiting the Cathedral is free of charge and it's open any day of the week from 10 am to 5 pm (except on Mondays when the opening hours are 1 to 5 pm).

When visiting the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour it's important to dress appropriately. For men, this means no shorts or tank tops.

Women can't enter with mini skirts or shorts, strap tops, or anything too revealing. Also, women are advised to cover their heads with a scarf as a sign of respect.

Inside the Cathedral photography isn't allowed, but believe me when I say there is plenty to see. There are beautiful frescoes, colorful icons, impressive statues, and other vivid decorations.

For a beautiful view over Moscow, walk up the stairs to the 40-meter high observation deck (entrance fee 400₽).  

Visit Gorky Park

Helen from Holidays from Hels : Gorky Park, named after the Soviet writer Maxim Gorky, has recently undergone extensive regeneration to become Moscow's central leisure hub for young Muscovites.

Every day of the week you can find many Moscow residents strolling along the banks of the river in the summer, hiring bikes, picnicking on the grass, or dining at one of the many restaurants.

Open-air cinemas, petanque, and ping pong are all on offer. Not to be missed is the iconic white stone entranceway and museum, complete with columns carved with Soviet hammers and sickles.

In winter, look out for the ducks waddling across the frozen Moskva River, and watch boats attempting to navigate through the cracked ice. However, the real winter highlight is to try ice skating on one of the biggest rinks in Europe!

Ice skating in Gorky Park

The park’s maze of pedestrian pathways is transformed into one huge skating rink, which can play host to up to four thousand skaters. 

Not surprisingly, Russians are talented ice skaters and there is a good chance you will find yourself next to a pirouetting ballerina.

Handily, you will find you will already be wearing most of what you need – gloves, hat, scarf, and thick socks and you can hire skates on-site. Lockers are included in the price if you don’t fancy skating with your day pack.

Disco tunes fill the air, and the whole arena is backlit in spectacular neon lights. Rest your weary legs and warm up at one of the cafes dotted along the frozen pathways, with the added bonus of not having to take off your skates.

Opening times

The rink is open from 10 am until 11 pm on weekdays and until midnight at weekends but closes between 3 and 5 pm. Like most attractions in Moscow, the rink is closed on Mondays. 

The prices range from 350-650₽ and go up in the evening, which is the best time for the light show. Arriving at 5 pm, just as the rink opens for the evening session will give you time to find your ice legs before it fills up with more confident skaters.

Whilst waiting for the rink to open, try out the nearby tubing track where you can shoot down a snowy hill on an inflatable ring repeatedly for a very enjoyable half an hour!

How to get to Gorky Park by metro

The nearest metro is Park Kultury Station, on the other side of the river. As always, check out in advance what this looks like in the Russian Alphabet so you know when to get off!

Bolshoi Theatre

James Ian at Travel Collecting : one of the best places to go in Moscow is the famous Bolshoi Theater, located only a short walk from Red square. Bolshoy means big in Russian, and the theatre is not only big but also beautiful.

There are two ways to see the theater: on a guided tour or by watching a performance .

Take a guided tour

• English tours are held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 11:30 am. Tickets for these tours can be bought (on the same day) at the ticket office located in the Historic building of the theatre (door #12).
• A ticket costs 2000₽ per person, tours last one hour, and the number of people on a tour is limited to a maximum of 20. The tour takes you inside the theater and to the historic main stage.

Watch a performance

My favorite way to see the theater, though, is to enjoy a performance and experience the theater as a patron.

The entrance is a little underwhelming when you first arrive, the street lobby is small and quite plain and you will be immediately directed up to your floor.

There are helpful attendants on each floor to guide you to the correct door. Arrive a little early and head up to the Grand Salon on the top floor where you can enjoy a glass of champagne while people-watching (Russians dress up for the theater).

Then head to your seat and take in the stunning theater before enjoying the famous Bolshoi Ballet or another performance.

Be sure to book a show at the historic stage, there is a modern stage as well but that isn't nearly as much fun.

Moscow itinerary day 3

Karen from WanderlustingK : one of the most interesting Moscow places to visit is the Izmailovsky Market .

This flea market and tourist attraction a bit outside of the tourist center is a recreation of a Tzar’s Palace, known as a Kremlin, produced in a colorful 16th-century style.

The market is filled with tiny stalls that sell everything from snacks to kitsch to authentic items from Soviet times such as hats, pins, and other pieces of memorabilia.

You'll also find authentic antiques such as vases, paintings, and other religious items if you're looking to splurge within the interior parts of the market.

Negotiating in English is not always possible as many vendors only speak Russian, so be sure to practice your Russian numbers and see how well you can do with haggling.

It's important to carry cash when you visit given that many vendors do not accept cards. We ended up purchasing a series of hats at the market, along with a beautiful hot tea glass with a metal holder with a typical Russian scene.

Elsewhere in the market, you’ll also find a few tourist shops that sell typical Russian products. It takes a few hours to see the market in full, so arrive early as the best items go quickly! 

Lindsey from Have Clothes, Will Travel : Bunker-42 was once a top-secret, Soviet military complex. Stalin commissioned its construction after the United States succeeded in creating a nuclear bomb.

An impressive 65 meters (or about 213 feet) underground, was the desired depth to protect Russia’s top officials from a nuclear attack.

Bunker 42 became operational in 1954. Fortunately, it was never needed for its true purpose, and instead it was used as the command center of strategic bombers for nearly 30 years.

Nowadays it's a museum dedicated to the Cold War and visiting is a truly unique experience!

You will need to join a tour in order to see the museum. You can call ahead to book your tour (the number is: +7 499 703-44-55), there are several English tours throughout the day that are held at 13:30, 16:30, and 18:30 (the price is 2200₽).

On Mondays, there is an extra tour at 17:30, which lasts an additional 30 minutes and costs 2800₽ per person. There is also the option to book a private tour. However, I am unsure of the price for this.

You will have to wait until exactly 15 minutes before your tour begins before you'll be admitted inside. After paying for your tickets and a quick restroom stop you will descend 65 meters underground…

Another option for visiting Bunker-42, if you would rather not do the tour, is to visit the restaurant inside Bunker-42. Actually, I highly recommend visiting the restaurant before or after a tour as well!

While the food is not that great, it’s worth visiting for a drink. The restaurant is also located within the bunker and is decorated in the old Soviet style.

From time to time there will be live performances and visiting Bunker 42 is definitely an experience worth having while in Moscow! After all, how many people can say they've had a drink in a top-secret Soviet military bunker?

If you’re visiting Moscow during peak season (June-July-August), it would be worth making a reservation, to avoid having to wait. Otherwise, I would not say you need to worry about a reservation at the restaurant.

Bunker-42 is a short cab ride away from Red Square (10-15 minutes). But I recommend taking the metro to get there. The closest station is Taganskaya, which is a beautiful metro station very much worth visiting.

Park Zaryad'ye or Zaryadye Park is a lovely place for a stroll and a nice place to relax after a day of sightseeing in Moscow, especially when exploring Moscow with kids.

There are many things to see and do in this park, but I recommend starting your visit at The River Overlook , a 70-meter-long boardwalk with beautiful views over the river and the Kremlin.

Other interesting places to visit in Zaryadye Park are the Ice Cave, The Museum of Nature, and The Glass Crust. But most importantly, do as the Muscovites do and find yourself a nice place in the park to sit down and relax.

Enjoy the view, do some people-watching, and take a moment to think back about all the Moscow top sights you've seen in the past couple of days.

Where to stay in Moscow

There is a huge amount of hotels in Moscow, ranging from budget hostels to exquisite 5-star hotels. Below you can find three well-reviewed Moscow hotels (rating of 8.5+ on Agoda and  Booking ).

3-star hotel in Moscow: MIRROS Hotel Mokhovaya

This 3-star hotel is one of the best budget Moscow hotels and is all about location! From the hotel, it's just a 10-minute walk to the Kremlin and only 600 meters to the Christ the Savior Cathedral.

Set in a historic 19th-century mansion, the hotel features classic rooms with ensuite bathrooms.

The staff is friendly and there is a metro station nearby (Borovitskaya), making it easy to get to the Moscow attractions a bit further afield.

Modern hotel in Moscow: Barin Residence Myasnitskaya

The Barin Residence Myasnitskaya is a newly built hotel, located about 1.2km from the Red Square (about a 15-20 minute walk).

The rooms and bathrooms are very modern and clean, the beds are comfortable and room service is available. This hotel is an excellent choice for travelers looking for a nice hotel without a hefty price tag.

Luxury hotel in Moscow: Hotel National Moscow

Hotel National is potentially the best Moscow hotel. It's a gorgeous 5-star hotel located just a stone's throw away from the Bolshoi Theater, the Red Square, and the Kremlin.

The building was designed by architect Alexander Ivanov and completed in 1903 and has been welcoming international travelers ever since.

With its imperial architecture, luxury design, and charming classic rooms (some with a view of the Kremlin!), the Hotel National is a unique property.

Furthermore, you can enjoy an indoor pool, sauna, and fitness center as well as the well-reviewed Beluga restaurant that serves both Russian and European dishes.

While this hotel doesn't come cheap, your stay at the Hotel National will make your trip to Moscow an unforgettable experience.

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!

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!

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 five-domed Cathedral of the Dormition is considered the most famous. It was built from 1475–1479 by an Italian architect and has served as a wedding and coronation place for great princes, tsars, and emperors of Russia. Church services are given in the Kremlin’s numerous cathedrals on a regular basis.

The Grand Kremlin Palace was the former Tsar’s Moscow residence and today it serves as the official workplace of the President of the Russian Federation (Vladimir Putin seems to have bagged that title for life) .

Insider Tip: The Kremlin is closed every Thursday! Make sure to plan this stop on your Moscow itinerary for any other day of the week!

It’s located just a few steps away from the Kremlin Wall and is one of the most controversial yet popular Moscow attractions!

Admission is free for everyone, you’ll only need to pay if you need to check a bag. Before visitors are allowed to enter the mausoleum, they have to go through a metal detector first. No metal objects, liquids, or large bags are allowed in the mausoleum!

Expect a line to enter the building, and while you’re inside the building, you’ll be constantly moving in line with other visitors. 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.

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 .
