What can one do in 3 intensive days in Moscow, if organized by people who know Russia well?
Bread and Circuses, of course...For me the bread of life is music and soccer, and the circus was that tasty filling of the Moscow trip. The one what you do not experience every day...
We visited the famous Nikulin Circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard, established in Moscow in the year 1880.
Somebody says it the oldest circus in Russia, somebody says it is one of the oldest. Here some more pictures about the circus.
If you are interested in singer-songwriter music...
...you can visit the statues, graves (Vagankov Graveyard) and museums of 2 famous Russian troubadours, Vladimir Vysotsky...
...and Bulat Okudzhava (in Moscow and Peredelkino, near Moscow).
And up to that the soccer, and may be the graveyard too.
Connected to soccer may be the the Luzhniki stadium, one of the home grounds of the Russian soccer team...
...or the graves in the graveyard Novodevichy.
There you can find for example the famous Russian soccer goalkeeper, Lev Yashin - the "Black Spider". Well, in graveyard we all end...
To finish...some Russian champagne. Yes, you can get in the train from Helsinki to Moscow. If you wish so.
Kippis-Skål-God bless you!
And do not forget to walk along the "Old Arbat Street", if you visit Moscow!
