Hotels in Moscow – Red Square and The Kremlin

Think Moscow and Red Square comes to mind. You can’t help but be impressed by those whopping great lumps of architecture, despite their ugliness. Oppressive or what? Red Square’s name has nothing to do with the communist party’s favourite colour. It originates from an old Russian word for ‘beautiful’. And it’s ancient, dating back to the 1400s. Some hotels in Moscow are absolutely vast. Huge concrete blocks like the Izmailovo Hotel Complex, part of a remarkable 7,500 rooms spread across five blocks originally built for the 1980 Olympics. If you’re searching for low cost hotels in Moscow, this’ll do you. It offers simply furnished, modern rooms suitable for business travel or holidays. After all, you’re not going to spend much time inside

Moscow Hotels – Ivan the Great leaves his mark

Ivan the Great built an 81 metre high bell tower in the 1500s. Despite Napoleon’s best efforts, it is still here and open for tourists to explore, the highest point in the Kremlin with fine views over the city. Hotels in Moscow aren’t all modern and functional. If you’d like to experience a bit of history stay at the Hotel Metropol, again a big place with 403 luxurious rooms. Compared to many new hotels in Moscow the Metropol is traditional in style and attracts all sorts of international celebrities.

Hotels in Moscow – Men in tights

Moscow’s home to the Bolshoi Theater, or ‘big, theatre, which seats upwards of 2000 people in its huge five-level auditorium. The whole place is beautifully decorated in original 1800s Russian neoclassic style, refurbished in 2005. All the good hotels in Moscow will be able to help you with ballet and theatre bookings if men in tights are your thing. If you’re determined to hunt down the lowest cost hotels in Moscow, you won’t find anywhere much more basic than the Vostok Hotel. It’s in a nice area, leafy and quiet in the north of the city, and close to a Metro station for town centre adventures. Exactly how basic is it? This Moscow hotel has 144 guest rooms on offer, some of which haven’t been renovated so they’re dirt cheap, despite having a Finnish sauna on board.

Moscow Holidays - Great Charisma

Plonk your furry hat with the ear flaps on if you go for Christmas. Whatever time of year, Moscow dominates with its huge scale. If Moscow was a Disney film it would be Beauty and the Beast. Hideous buildings and stunning architecture clash. The medieval centre of the city, the Kremlin is a triangle on the Northern Bank of the Moscow River. The modern part is built around it. Try not to go the wrong way down the eight lane highway called the ‘garden ring’. There is something wicked in the landscape, something exciting, which can’t be explained.

Moscow Holidays - Friendly Locals

Some people fall for Moscow. The friendliness of the people, the sheer difference from other European city breaks is wild and exhilarating. This city has a massive ego. The contrasts between people are manifested in the wealth, the cramped housing, the designer shops. Most big capitals attempt to blend their poverty and wealth in a subtle way. Not Moscow. Moscow has suffered so much. The cruel chaos inflicted by its rulers are manifested in the planning, in this intriguing capital city. Infuriating. Contrary. Once you’ve been there it’ll take more than one visit to be satisfied. So book your Moscow holidays now with Beatthebrochure.com.

Flights to Moscow – Two airports to choose from

Moscow is the capital of the new-ish Russian Federation, a city 18 miles across with a population of ten million. Many flights to Moscow land at Domodedovo International Airport, 21 miles south of Moscow. They’re busy expanding Terminal 2, due to be finished in 2012, and they’re planning a third terminal too. Once they’ve finished, flights to Moscow’s Domodedovo airport will see you joining the phenomenal 35 million other people due to pass through there every year. The airport’s two terminals, International and Domestic, are in one building so you can walk between them without freezing your bits off in winter. How to get there? Follow the airport roads to the main Moscow road, Kashirskoe Highway, and follow the signs.

Moscow Flights – Sheremetyevo or Domodedovo?

Other flights to Moscow drop you off at the city’s second airport, Moscow Sheremetyevo International, 18 miles to the north west of the city. They’re busy building a third terminal and have already opened up a new terminal building. The fast train connection to Moscow should be finished by the end of 2008 so flights to Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport are due to become a popular option. Vladivostok is a long way off but you can get there if you fancy seeing some of the most desolate landscapes on earth. Not exactly a tourist hot spot. Business travellers find themselves in Moscow regularly these days despite ongoing international tensions. We think it all looks a bit grim, although those lovely twiddly, twirly colourful buildings are amazing.

Flights to Moscow – Cold, hot and everything in between

Flights to Moscow leave you three hours ahead of London GMT time so there’s no chance of jet lag. Thing is, it can be extremely cold there. And extremely hot too. Because it has an intercontinental climate, Russia’s a place of extremes. Only three and a half hours away by air but it might as well be on a different planet. If you’re imagining serried rows of Russians all looking the same, think again. Although Slavs make up three quarters of the population the remaining 25% consists of a mix of people from more than 100 different ethnic groups. Not unlike London.
