About us

Moscow, Кутузовский проспект

Hi, and welcome to AllAboutMoscow.com 👋
This site was created to help travelers, expats, and curious explorers understand Moscow, Russia as it really is — not as a stereotype, not as a headline, but as a living, breathing city.

Moscow is my home. It’s a place I experience every day, and also a city I see through the eyes of visitors who arrive with excitement, confusion, and a lot of questions. All About Moscow exists because I noticed how hard it can be to find clear, honest, up-to-date information about visiting or living here.

What I Write About

🏛️ Visiting Moscow

I share practical travel guides, itineraries, and tips to help you explore Moscow with confidence. From famous landmarks like Red Square and the Kremlin to quiet streets, local cafés, museums, and seasonal events, I focus on what’s actually worth your time — and what most guidebooks don’t explain well.

🌍 Life as an Expat in Moscow

Living in Moscow as a foreigner can be rewarding, challenging, and sometimes confusing. I write about everyday life here — finding housing, using public transport, dealing with paperwork, understanding cultural differences, and adjusting to daily routines — based on real experiences, not assumptions.

💻 Digital Nomad & Remote Work Life

Moscow isn’t a typical digital nomad destination, and that’s exactly why I write about it honestly. I cover what it’s really like to work remotely from the city, including coworking spaces, internet quality, work-friendly cafés, neighborhoods, and the realities around visas and long-term stays.

🧳 Solo Travel in Moscow

If you’re traveling alone, Moscow can feel overwhelming at first. I share solo-travel insights focused on safety, confidence, and independence — how to navigate the city on your own, meet people, and enjoy Moscow at your own pace without feeling lost or intimidated.

My Approach

I try to keep everything here:

  • Honest and realistic, without exaggeration

  • Practical and clear, especially for first-timers

  • Based on real experience, not copy-pasted advice

  • Written for people, not just search engines

If something is complicated, I’ll say so. If something is easier than it seems, I’ll explain why.

Who This Site Is For

All About Moscow is for:

  • Travelers planning a trip to Moscow, Russia

  • Expats thinking about moving or already living here

  • Digital nomads researching non-typical cities

  • Solo travelers looking for realistic guidance

  • Anyone curious about what modern Moscow is actually like

Why I Created All About Moscow

I created this site because too much of the information about Moscow online feels outdated, vague, or overly dramatic. I wanted to build a place that answers real questions with calm, practical explanations — the kind of advice you’d get from someone who actually knows the city.

If this site helps you feel more prepared, more confident, or simply more curious about Moscow, then it’s doing exactly what I hoped it would do.

Thanks for being here 🤍
