Moscow business trip: 1st time, must sees?

[RC1807]

Dearest PHers

I'm heading to Moscow on business for my 1st time on Tue, arrive late afternoon. I've meetings all Wed morning, into early afternoon, then I'm free until the next day.

I'm travelling with one of my team, who's been to Moscow twice, a Russian colleague (female, fit... ) and another male colleague who's been to Russia umpteen times, so is proabbly immune to what goes on around him now.

What are the must sees in Moscow, please?
- Red Square
- Bolshoi
...?


I'm staying at the Swissotel, but happy to get around on public transport/underground, etc.

Thanks!

Spectacular potato farms and tractor factories, but I don't know exactly where...

St basils is great and cheap, Lenins tomb, the kremlin, GUM, they metro stations. I was not taken with Gorky park. To eat, Goodmans do an amazing filet mignon.

Don't go near Lenin's tomb, you might bump into Corbyn...

Thanks for the comments and suggestions, although mybrainhurts seems to be offloading his affliction to others

Well that was an interesting trip, but made much easier having a Russian colleague with us!

I visited the Bolshoi, briefly, then crossed to the Red Square, Lenin's tomb (no Corbyn to be seen), St.Basil's and GUM.
I'll be back in Moscow in September.
