Red Square is the most famous city square in Moscow, and arguably one of the most famous in the world. The square separates the Kremlin, the former royal citadel and currently the official residence of the President of Russia, from a historic merchant quarter known as Kitai-gorod. As major streets of Moscow radiate from here in all directions, being promoted to major highways outside the city, Red Square is often considered the central square of Moscow and of all Russia. Transport: Kitai-gorod, Lybanka metro stations

Part of the Great Kremlin Palace complex, the Armory is home to Moscow's oldest and most prestigious museum, which boasts a staggering collection of Tsarist artifacts, Russian and foreign jewelry and armour. Although the museum has been open to the public since the mid-19th Century, the current collection was established as recently as 1986, which means that display techniques are relativelymodern, the layout is clear and coherent, and there is even plenty of labeling in English. | Address: Sobornaya Ploshad, Kremlin, Moscow, 103073, Russia

I took an overnight train from St. Petersburg to Moscow without any incidents. The train left at 11:30 and arrived at 8:00 am. I basically went to sleep. I saw Moscow’s crowded subways at their busiest. It seems to be quite acceptable to push and shove your way on to them like everyone else. The stations are beautiful. Each one looks like a museum or concert hall. They are onto themselves an attraction. Just amazing for subway stations. I had to find my way to get my tickets for the Trans Siberian so I figured this would be a fool’s errand for me but through blind luck more than anything I figured out the subway and map and found the place in record time. |

Nothing makes you want to stretch your legs like five and a half days on a train. We sprung from the wagon amid the unloading of duffel bags full of Chinese cigarettes and cheerfullly navigated the Lenin-lavished Moscow metro. Compared to Chinese characters, cyrillic seemed a modest challege and soon enough we were pronouncing the various signs and commercials along Arbat Street (whether we gathered their meaning was a different story). |

Our Moscow experience has been a bit like Fawlty Towers! Our confidence was high having successfully navigated our way around a very sunny St. Petersburg, and our inital impressions on the overnight journey were good. It was an old train (everything looks very Russian!) that looked like something out of Harry Potter, but it was clean and warm and exciting. |

Moscow is way more colourful and wilder than I’d expected. Guess there making up for generations of greyness. |
