Russia has become one of the top tourist destinations in the world, and many tourists are considering to travel to Russia, especially during the summer. Though most tourists believe that you can only visit historical places and museums in Russia, which is not a bad idea at all, there are lots of adventures in Russia that you can try when you take a trip to Russia. We at the Star Travel Group have suggested the Top 7 bizarre Things to Do in St. Petersburg before, and now we’re going to tell you what are the fantastic things that you can try on a trip to Moscow besides the usual things in the tour to Moscow.
Although adventures often involve activities with some potential danger, such as exploring caves, skydiving from helicopters, scuba diving in oceans, etc. you can change a little feature of your trip to Moscow, and turn your usual Russia tour into some adventure-like trip entirely. Here are some of the bizarre things that we recommend you try on your Moscow tour that can make it a little bit more exciting.
Russian Folklore Dance
Go and see Russian folklore dance. Russia has a rich culture and history, and in each region of this vast country, you can find multiple shared things with a slightly different style, such as folklore dance. There are several dances that Russian would do in their celebrations and ceremonies, which is quite enjoyable for tourists, including the Khorovod, Barynya, Chechotka, and many others; there are also various styles of these dances in different regions of Russia, but sometimes you need to concentrate a lot to tell the variations. There are several festivals and traditions in Russia that bring Folklore dancers to the streets of Moscow, which if you are lucky, you can see them in the streets for free; otherwise, there are multiple theater halls in Moscow that have the stage for folklore dance performances.
Circus Nikulin
Moscow has one of the greatest circuses of all Russia, and you can see them perform at the circuses on the Tsvetnoy Boulevard. Though Circus Nikulin has been often recommended by the travel agencies, including us at the Star Travel Company, it’s fun to explore this boulevard to find other circuses. The circus performance had been developed a lot during the Soviet Union era, and Circus Nikulin is one of the significant circuses in town, which we at the Star Travel Company recommend all the tourists, especially the ones who have been traveling with their family, to go and see them on their tour to Russia program.
Ostankino Television Tower
Although The Sparrow Hills is an excellent place for tourists who want to have a panoramic view over Moscow on their tour to Russia, there is one other place that can change your destination from the Sparrow Hills. The Ostankino Television Tower locates in the modern district of Moscow alongside the business center, which you can visit adjacent to the All-Russia Exhibition Center on your Moscow Tour. The Ostankino Tower offers a platform to its visitors to observe the city from the highest point of the city, the top of the famed television tower. We at the Star Travel Company recommend this tower to the tourists who want to have a picturesque view over Moscow as well as people who want to learn about telecommunication and the history of this matter on their tour to Russia since the tower also has a tiny museum about telecommunication.
Novodevichy Cemetery
Go and explore an open-air museum near Sparrow Hills for free. The Novodevichy Cemetery is one of the major attractions in Moscow, which is often recommended in the tour to Russia programs. There are several benefits of visiting this cemetery, including paying respect to the greatest figures of Russia and other nations that buried in this cemetery, but the main attractions of this cemetery are the sculptures made by the masters of Russia, which you can visit them for free. Most of the graves and tombs in this cemetery have a significant sculpture on them, which is why we recommend this cemetery to people who enjoy this form of art on our tour to Russia.
Tsar’s Bell
There is a high chance that you visit Kremlin on your tour to Russia because Kremlin and Red Square are the most important Moscow attractive places. If you do visit Kremlin on your travel to Russia, make sure to visit Kremlin’s Squares, Cathedral and Ivanovskaya Squares because each one of them has various things to offer to their visitors. You can find several major attractions, including the Archangel Cathedral, the Cathedral of Annunciation, and Dormition Cathedral on the Cathedral Square, and multiple structures and attractions on Ivanovskaya Square, including the Tsar’s Bell.
Night Cruise on Moskva River
One of the main attractions of Moscow is the Moskva River, which most of the travel agencies, including us at the Star Travel Company have various plans around it. One of our main plans about this river is the Night Cruise on Moskva River, which we recommend our travelers who want to have a fun night on the river with music and dancefloor during their tour to Russia. We also recommend you to check the daylight cruise by Radisson Royal if you fancy a lovely afternoon with your partner on Moskva River.
Russian Ballet
The last but not least thing that you can try on your Russia tour is to go and see a Russian ballet performance. However that St. Petersburg is the capital of Russian ballet, but you can still find several amazing ballet companies in Moscow as well.
