Two Days in Moscow

I’ve passed through Moscow on my way to the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

The city has greatness in it and there’s lots of stuff to do (but do your best to avoid roads – traffic is horrible). I visited the exceptional Memorial Museum of Astronautics full of cool space exhibits and its striking Monument to the Conquerors of Space; the Bunker-42 former secret military complex with the launch command center for nuclear warhead ICBMs; and the Ostankino TV Tower which offers cool views of the city from 340 metres above.

Moscow’s greatest attractions are located in the Red Square area. I loved it, especially for the St. Basil’s Cathedral which is even nicer from up close than the stereotypical photos of Moscow (if that’s even possible).
