Moscow is a city for everyone - and this is a guide for everyone going to Moscow. Combining "Insight's" trademark illuminating writing and striking photography with a strong emphasis on practical information - this is the only guide you will need. From the Kremlin to the Golden Ring, it covers the entire city and also describes the best excursions outside it. Our expert writers assess all the places worth seeing and the Best of Las Vegas section will help visitors prioritise their trip: from ancient attractions to shopping, from cathedrals to the remnant of soviet Russia. Cafes and restaurants are recommended and the best are described and plotted on the free pull-out restaurant guide. Travels tips provide all the information visitors will need and a detailed street atlas and index are featured at the back of the book.
