(Locator); (Russia Tourist Map)...Moscow - the name carries many images and thoughts: parades in Red Square with tanks rumbling through; cold, snowy winters, and unsmiling faces.

Winters may be cold here, but that's about the only stereotype you will encounter. Summers are bright and warm, and a walk down the Arbat, Moscow's famous pedestrian mall, or in the many city parks, will introduce you to many a Muscovite smiling, enjoying the street entertainment and the company of friends. Find out for yourself why many say that Moscow is the city of contrasts. For the start let us take you to our Moscow Sightseeing Highlights section.
