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... wink ) 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!

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.
