Lasani Green Travel Agency Limited: Reviews

Fantastic experience: Lasani green travel provided s tailor made package for my family of 15 people for 14 days . Alhumdolilah alhomdolilah brother Rizwan was fantastic in providing a quality service . Will definitely use again and forward his number to family and friends Brother RIzwan may allah reward you in this world and the hereafter.. Jzk so much

Fantastic experience: Alhamdulillah received great service from Lasani Green. They made all the arrangements so that I can go on Umrah with family. Customer Service is awsome.

Fantastic experience: Our family have booked with Lasani travel for Umrah and Hajj many times before and would recommend highly. Myself and my husband booked last year for Umrah and had a great trip Alhamdulilah. Everything was perfect the hotel and travel the tour guide for Ziyarahs . Rizwan was just a phone call /message away if we ever needed him nothing was ever too much for him.

Fantastic experience: An Amazing host, Very reputable Travel Agency, Honest, Trustworthy. Customer satsifaction is paramount with this agency and They will go above and beyond to ensure they meet each and everyone one of there customer r expectations. They will never mislead you or overcharge you. Very informative and wealth of experience if you want a trouble free umrah experience then please look no further!!! Jzk Brother riz for the most amazing experience

Fantastic experience: Got very detailed information, which normally other travel agents don't know.

Fantastic experience: Alhamdhulila brother Rizwan sorted everything out for a 5* umrah package no problems whatsoever. Tickets, hotel and transport all provided with no hassle and at a very reasonable price compared to other travel agencies. I would recommend everyone to use this company.

Fantastic experience: Brother Rizwan arranged a fantastic Umrah package for us for the last 10 days of Ramadan. He was practically available 24/7 on all kinds of contact, whether it was a video call, phone call, or message, to assist with our queries, despite his inability to physically be present. During our visit, we encountered a couple of minor issues, but brother Rizwan was able to solve them from thousands of miles away. Throughout the process, he was quite thorough, and I can attest to his sincerity and honesty. May Allah continue to reward his business with mercy and blessings. Ameen. Thank you once more, you really helped make our dreams come true. We will surely be using you in the future In Shaa Allah.

Fantastic experience: Rizwan and his team clearly have volumes of experience! They managed to sort me out a last minute umrah package for less than £1000 including 4 star hotels wow! Handled every step professionally and will definitely recommend using them, I certainly will again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Excellent company to use for your hajj and umrah travels

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality , Responsiveness , Value

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Responsiveness

Fantastic experience: Great Experienced with Lasani Green Travel. Gave me a Good price. Happy to Book Umrah Package with them.

Fantastic experience: Having travelled several times over the years with Lasani for Haj and Umrah trips, we have always been pleased with the excellent service provided by Haji Nazam, Rizwan and the rest of the staff who are always prepared to go the extra mile for you throughout the journey. The package description has always matched what is delivered so no hidden surprises. This year, seven of our family members had booked their Haj trip with Lasani before it was announced that Haj would be closed for non-residents of Saudi due to Covid 19. Unlike many other travel agencies, who are either issuing credit notes or partial refunds and levying "administration fees" on their customers who have paid deposits, Lasani has shown pure integrity in committing to refund all deposits, (we actually received ours today in full) demonstrating that this is not just another agency (like others) where profits, under the cover of religion and hollow religious terminology, is the main objective. Full credit to Lasani for choosing to sacrifice this year's haj profits rather than sacrificing Islamic principles, and I look forward to booking future Haj and Umrah trips through them.

Fantastic experience: Due to the current situation with Covid 19, Lasani travel (Bro Rizwan) was very informative, empathetic and professional regarding hajj cancellation and refunds. Lasani services are outstanding and I highly recommend them for any future umrah/Hajj bookings. Brother Rizwan please continue with the good work and may Allah swt accept your hard efforts and good intentions.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism

Fantastic experience: Brilliant experience with Haji saab and Rizwan. I would definetly go with them again. Thank you Lasani Travel.

Fantastic experience: Alhamdulillah was an amazing experience performing Hajj with the Lasani group. Brother Ridhwan had often said that with Lasani you get what you paid for. But the amount of khidmat and effort that he and his Father (Haji Nazam) went through to make our Hajj easier and a more memorable experience; no amount of money would be able to compensate for it. On behalf of myself, Qari Adam, Hafiz Zuned and Hafiz Ahmed, we would like to thank them for all that they have done for us and may Allah reward them for all their efforts, continue to take work from them and make them successful in all that they do. Would 100% contact them again if Allah accepts us to perform Hajj and Umrah again in our lifetime.

Fantastic experience: A long overdue review, but it truly merits reiterating just how good this group is and the hospitality from Brother Rizwan is absolutely immeasurable. My husband and I are truly grateful that our first ever hajj experience was made so comfortable, that we could focus entirely on the goal of our journey. From the moment we booked to the moment we returned home, we were taken care of as family and constantly reached out to. I have recommended Lasani to all of my family and friends, we would certainly go with Lasani again! I pray that Brother Rizwan and his family are rewarded immensely in this life and the next! Thank you so much for everything.

Fantastic experience: Was a great experience going for hajj2019

Fantastic experience: From the start of our Haj trip, throughout our stays in Makkah, Mina and Medina, and until our return to the UK, the effort, khidmat and kindness shown by Haji Rizwan and his parents was outstanding. With their hard work and determination at looking after the whole group, we thouroughly enjoyed our trip. No request was ever too much for them. Hotels in Makkah and Medina were within walking distance. Food was plenty and always provided on time. I will have no hesitation in recommending Lasani Green Travel to all my friends and family. May Allah SWT accept their efforts.

Fantastic experience: MaashAllah very good service! Fast & reliable!

Fantastic experience: Lasani Green Travel will always be my go to travel agent especially for Hajj & Umrah packages. A family run business with many years of experience that makes booking your special trip easy. The service they provide is no hassle and they keep you updated throughout. Highly reccomended.

Fantastic experience: Amazing group to go with for Hajj, couldn’t ask for better service provided. We all worked together as a family, all helping each other which made us all closer and made it easier for brother Rizwan. Highly recommended. Also as I’m a Hafiz I’m grateful for Rizwan to give me the opportunity to deliver Tilawat of the Quran.

Fantastic experience: The service provided by this group is one of the best around at the moment. They catered for everyone's needs and ensured no one was left behind alhumdulillah. Highly recommended. For anyone who has never completed hajj, just remember SABR! Allah reward everyone who helped us Haji's through our travels.

Fantastic experience: Great service. Timely and professional in getting our visas sorted for umrah.

Fantastic experience: Jazackallah to Rizwan and his family for all his support. Our Hajj 2019 went very well mashallah and we would definitely recommend Lasani Green.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic service from Haji Rizwan and his team, highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Conscientious service as always

Fantastic experience: Bro Rizwan from Lasani Travel Agency is by far the most efficient, hardworking and friendliest travel agent I have ever met! He was approachable all the time, he always kept me updated with the flow of the visa application. Like someone has mentioned, all I had to do was hand in my passport, pay the fee and he will get everything sorted. Highly recommend this agent for anyone from around Derby who wish to go for umrah.

Fantastic experience: A brilliant Hajj experience, everything we expected and more. Rizwan was amazing, as was his father Uncle Nazim and his mother too. Everything we were told we would get we did, nothing was too much! If you want peace of mind when booking for hajj, I would definitely recommend Lasani Green travel. Hajj 2019 was amazing May Allah accept it from all of us.

Fantastic experience: Was a wonderful haj experience made more enjoyable and easy thanks to Rizwan and his parents. My first time of travelling to Mecca so things were very new but the ease that Rizwan made me feel, his answering of questions his knowledge of the area nothing was ever to much trouble for him. Just want to say a big Jazakallah for guiding us through haj and making it easy for us. Would definitely recommend you and your team to others. Inshallah we get to travel through the haj journey again one day.

Fantastic experience: An incredibly long and overdue review, but it cannot go without mention how helpful (and great) this group was. Brother Rizwan was absolutely amazing and he went far and beyond just to make sure we were always comfortable. Both me and my wife are incredibly grateful that our Hajj experience was this good. We were able to focus on it with no worries in our mind because we knew we were in good hands. From the moment we booked to the minute we got home, the group treated us as family and made a point to check on us every now and again. There was a sense of community beyond anything I've experienced in the past and I can genuinely reccommend the Lasani Green Travel Agency to any and all of your Hajj and Umrah needs. They are everything you might hope for and more. Thank you so much for everything.

Fantastic experience: A very good experience with lassani travel. Rizwan who was our tour guide ran the operation in hajj very well to say there was about 3 million hajjis there. May Allah bless Rizwan and father Haji Nazam for running the hajj operation. A beautiful journey which I will cherish for rest of my life thanks again lassani.

Fantastic experience: Alhumdulillah Retuned from Hajj 2018 with Lasani Green Travel in Derby and I honestly Can say I have had the best experience ever May Allah call everyone of us Every year Insha’Allah. Alhumdulillah the package was really good and at a good price. No false Information given, what they had told is what we got and even more. I can honestly say Lasani Green Travel is Highly recommended by me and everyone else who went with this group for Hajj in 2018 . Always there for you from start to Finish of the tour and even after you come back making sure you reach your destination safely. Direct Flight to Saudi and Return straight from Medina to London. Definitely makes your journey alot easier and smoother. So Definitely recommend this group to anyone who wants to perform Hajj or Umrah in the future definitely use this company and you will not be disappointed. Big Thank you to Hajji Nazam & Hajii Rizwan and ofcourse Aunty who helped us alot throughout the journey. You will always be in my duas for making this beautiful experience easier for the whole group. May Allah accept our Hajj and duas. Ameen Junaid Alam

Fantastic experience: A brilliant total end to end experience through out duration of itenary including transportation, hotel, ziyarath (tours), services and flights. Total customer centric approach to ensure complete satisfaction maximizing on the value of payment made. Hotels in both locations exceeded expectaions along with the inclusive breakfasts offered in luxurious settings overseeing the magnificent cities in addition to dedicated concierge services at hotel for the group. I would highly reccomend Lasani Green Travel as your partner of choice to meet your and your families needs as part of your Ibadah. Trusted partners that will provide you excellent services and go beyond expectations to ensure your needs are fully met. Kudos to Haji Nazem for always being available regardless of time or scenario, his leadership qualities to ensure smooth travel are exceptional!

Fantastic experience: Great experience and service!

Fantastic experience: A big thanks to Haji sahib and brother Rizwan. It was a great experience from start to end. Very accommodating for everyone's needs and very helpful with all the aspects of the tour including the ziyarats and providing step by step guidance. Hotels exceeded our expectations with service as well as the standards and within 3-5 minutes walk. Hotels were as promissed 5* but with an added benefit view of haram sharif from the room and gumbad-e-gazra as soon as you leave hotel. I will definitely be travelling with Lasani Green Travel again and will highly recommend them. May Allah swt shower his blessings upon haji sahib and his family for such a great experience which words cannot describe.

Fantastic experience: Just returned from Hajj with Lasani Green Travel. To say i am pleased with the experience is an understatement. No mis-selling... No false promises. What they told me i was getting, is what i got and so much more. I hadn't heard of them before signing uo so i was naturally a little apprehensive, however i can honestly say ima sing their praise whenever anyone asks me about my Hajj experience or recommendations for a group to go with . These lot what it says on the tin and its a service with many many smiles. #Hajj2018

Fantastic experience: Excellent service at a great price. Rizwan has been really helpful in arranging visas for umrah and making suggestions on how to improve our trip. Unfortunately we weren't able to go with the main group on umrah due to our travel dates, but I'd definitely go to them in the future, inshallah.

Fantastic experience: It was my first Hajj and Mashallah what an amazing journey it was, from start to finish there were no major issues and the itinerary was exactly as promised, we did hear a few horror stories and met other Hajis who had being messed around by other agents by changing accommodation and giving other false services. From our direct flight to Jeddah with Saudi Airlines to our two hotels in Makkah and Medina, and our Air-Conditioned tents in Mina everything was as it was described, no frills, no nonsense and no headache. Haji Nazam and Haji Rizwan both have a wealth of experience with over 20 years servicing Umrah and Hajj tours, and this showed through their help and guidance throughout our Hajj journey, from guiding the group to perform their Hajj to helping individuals and going out their way to help anyone who needed it, everything that was in the package and in their jurisdiction was as they promised, everything that wasn't did have a few issues, but this is Hajj and you inevitably have to expect some kind of disruption, after all the journey is about Sabr. I would highly recommend Lasani Green Travel to anybody who wishes to make this journey, not only are they reliable and helpful, but also they offer a very competitive value for money service, I am forever in debt to them for making our experience as easy as it was for me and my family. Finally the group we had was brilliant and we couldn't have asked for a nicer, friendlier bunch of people. May Allah accept all our Hajj and Duas. Ameen! Zaheer :)

Fantastic experience: All we had to do is provide them passport and 2 pics and forgot all about it and within a week got passport back with visa on it. I love it So easy and cheap instead of running around. HIGHLY recommended Aftab rathor from Anglo Japanese Motor Factor derby

Street Photography Tips, Interaction, Travel, Guides

Apr 24 2017

City Street Guides by f.d. walker: A Street Photography Guide to Moscow, Russia

*A series of guides on shooting Street Photography in cities around the world. Find the best spots to shoot, things to capture, street walks, street tips, safety concerns, and more for cities around the world. I have personally researched, explored and shot Street Photography in every city that I create a guide for. So you can be ready to capture the streets as soon as you step outside with your camera!

At over 12 million people, Moscow is the largest city in Russia and second largest in Europe by population ( Istanbul is #1). An urban, cosmopolitan metropolis with more than enough glitz and glam to cater to the elite, but without losing its fair share of Soviet era roughness around the edges. It can be fast paced, brash, busy, and trendy like other big cities, but it has its blend of West meets Russia atmosphere and beauty that provides plenty of unique interest. The Red Square is as famous as it gets, but there’s so much more to this city, including the most beautiful subway system you’ve ever seen. It would take years to capture all of Moscow, but that means you have an endless amount of areas to discover.

So here’s a Street Photography guide so you can be ready to capture all that Moscow has to offer before you even arrive!

• Patriarch’s Pond
• Old Arbat Street
• Maroseyka Street
• Tverskoy Boulevard

Top 5 Street Spots:

1. red square.

The Red Square is the most famous square in not just Russia, but all of Eastern Europe. The name actually doesn’t come from the color of the bricks or communism, but from the name in Russian, Krásnaya, once meaning “beautiful” before its meaning changed to “red.” This large plaza is what you see on the cover of guide books and magazines for Moscow, with St. Basil’s Cathedral being the center piece next to Lenin’s Mausoleum surrounded by the Kremlin Wall. Of course, the Red Square attracts hordes of tourist due to the main attractions, but all that activity around an interesting atmosphere does provide street photo opportunities. It’s also the central square connecting to the city’s major streets, providing a good starting point to explore outward.

You’ll also find the popular pedestrian only Nikolskaya Street connecting the Red Square to Lubyanka Square. This line of expensive shops includes plenty of activity, while also leading you to another popular square. Filled with history rivaling any city, the Red Square and surrounding areas are the heart and soul of Russia.

2. Patriarch’s Ponds

Patriarch’s Ponds is one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in Moscow. Despite the name being plural, there’s only one large pond, but it’s worth a visit with your camera. It’s a popular spot for locals and expats to come relax or take a stroll around the pond. You get an interesting mix of young and old too, from young love to “babushkas” feeding pigeons. It’s a very peaceful park atmosphere in one of the nicer areas within the city center, while bringing enough activity for street photography. 

The pond is shallow and in the winter becomes a popular spot for ice-skating too. The area is also well-known for the location in the famous Russian novel, The Master and Margarita. 

3. Old Arbat (Stary Arbat)

Old Arbat is the most famous pedestrian street in Moscow, and dating back to the 15th century, also one of its oldest. Originally, it was an area of trade, but soon became the most prestigious residential area in Moscow. During the 18th century, Arbat started attracting the city’s scholars and artists, including Alexander Pushkin. Cafes lined the streets and impressive homes filled the neighborhood. Since then, New Arbat street was created as a highway in the area, while Old Arbat was paved for a 1km pedestrian only walkway.

Due to the historic buildings, famous artists that lived here, and the bohemian atmosphere, Old Arbat has become a big attraction for tourists today. Now, there’s a mix of cafes, restaurants, souvenir shops, street performers, street merchants and other attractions for visitors, and some locals, to come enjoy. It can get really busy here and there’s usually something interesting going on so it’s a good street to come walk with your camera for guaranteed life.

4. Gorky Park

One of the most famous places in Moscow is Gorky Park. The official name is Maxim Gorky’s Central Park of Culture & Leisure, which gives you an idea of what goes on here. When built, it was the first of its kind in the Soviet Union. Divided into two parts, it stretches along Moscow River. One end contains fair rides, foods stands, tennis courts, a sports club, a lake for boat rides, and more. This end brings more active life due to its number of attractions, while the other end is more relaxed, where you’ll find gardens, trees, older buildings, and an outdoor amphitheater.

Gorky Park attracts mostly locals so it’s a good spot to capture the non-tourist side of Moscow life. Muscovites come here to escape the city and unwind in a picturesque setting. The park remains alive outside of the warmer months too, especially when the lake turns into the city’s largest outdoor skating rink. I’d recommend taking the metro out here to spend at least half a day exploring the massive park’s life with your camera.

5. Maroseyka Street

Maroseyka Street is a popular area not too far from the Red Square. The long, winding street turns into Pokrovka and is lined with restaurants, cafes, bars and places to stay. It’s actually where I like to stay when I’m in Moscow due to its location and solid street photography opportunities itself. You have Kitay-gorod station near and if you keep walking southwest, you’ll get to the Red Square. But if you walk northwest, as it changes to Pokrovka, you can find a long street of activity for photography with its own interesting atmosphere.

6. Tverskoy Boulevard

Tverskoy Boulevard is the oldest and longest boulevard in Moscow, beginning at the end of Nikitsky Boulevard, and finishing at Pushkin Square, a spot to come for activity itself. The boulevard is made up of two avenues, with pedestrian walkways in-between. You’ll find grass, shrubbery, trees, benches and more walking it’s almost kilometer length. Many people come here to enjoy some relaxation, walk their dog, or just to use it to walk wherever they’re going. Its center location also provides a nice place to walk with your camera near plenty of other spots you’ll want to check out anyway.

Sample Street Walk:

For a full day of Street Photography, covering some of the best spots, you can follow this sample street walk for Moscow:

• Start your morning walking around the Red Square (1), while exploring the surrounding area, including Nikolskaya Street
• Then walk northwest to Patriarch’s Ponds (2) and slowly walk the pond and surrounding area with your camera
• Next, walk east to the Pushkin Monument and stroll down Tverskoy Boulevard (6)
• Once Tverskoy Boulevard (6) ends, it will turn into Nikitsky Boulevard. Follow this down until you get to the start of Old Arbat Street (3), across from Arbatskaya station
• After you’re done walking down Old Arbat Street (3) for more street photography, spend some time checking out Moscow’s beautiful metro stations
• To finish off the day with more street photography, get off the metro near Red Square (1) again, Maroseyka Street (5) or wherever you’re staying for the night.

3 Things I’ll Remember about Shooting in Moscow:

1. museum metro.

The Moscow metro system was the first underground railway system in the Soviet Union and today includes 203 stations across 340km of routes. The elaborate system has some of the deepest stations in the world too, with escalators that seem to go on forever. None of this is what makes it so special, though. Many of its stations feel like stepping inside a museum, making it without a doubt the most interesting and beautiful metro system I’ve been in.

When built, Stalin wanted to make the metro stations “palaces for the people” with marble, chandeliers, and grand architecture. The best part is the variety of architecture and styles used, making many of the stations a completely different experience visually. You could easily spend a whole day traveling the stations and there are even tours available for people who wish to do just that. My advice, though, would be just to buy a ticket and hop on and off at different stations, while exploring different lines. The museum-like surrounding mixed with the crowds of characters can make for a great photography experience.

Since there are so many stations, here are some of my favorites to check out:

• Novoslobodskaya
• Mayakovskaya
• Elektrozavodskaya
• Komsomolskaya
• Ploschad Revolyutsii
• Dostoyevskaya
• Prospekt Mira

2. Moscow is Big

It’s no secret that Moscow is a big city, but it can feel even bigger with how spread out much of it is. This is especially true if you compare it to cities outside of Asia. If I compared it to cities in Europe, I’d probably say only Istanbul would warrant more time to really discover the depths of this city. Most only explore around the Red Square and surrounding area, but that is such a small part of the city. Although, that central area does give you plenty to see on its own.

Fortunately, I had a good friend living in the city to show me around, but it opened up my eyes even more to how much there is to discover in Moscow. It’s a big city with a variety of atmosphere that can take you from “east” to “west” and trendy to rugged depending on where you go. I’d imagine you’d have to live here a while to really know the city.

3. Cosmopolitan Mix of East meets West

Modern skyscrapers mixed with amazing architecture, a world-class metro system with museum-like beauty, trendy fashion and chic clubs, Moscow is a rich mix of Russian culture and history in a more western cosmopolitan package. There is a push to keep the Russian culture, while also pushing forward with a modern metropolis the whole world will envy. This comes with an impressive skyline, that continues to grow, and endless modernities, but with soviet nostalgia and atmosphere mixed in for good measure.

Mixed in with this grand western cosmopolitan atmosphere, is a strong national pride in Russia. This includes their famous leader, Vladimir Putin. Maybe no other place will you see a country’s leader more often. All over, from the pricey tourist shops to the underground walkway stalls, you’ll find goods with Putin’s likeness covering them. From t-shirts to magnets to Matryoshka dolls. There’s a strong national pride that can be seen around the city, which also extends to their leader. Moscow is many things. It’s East meets West, modernizations meets Soviet era, and a whole lot more.

What To Do For a Street Photography Break?:

Eat at a stolovaya.

Stolovayas are Russian cafeterias that became popular in the Soviet days. You grab a tray and walk down the line of freshly prepared local dishes, and select whatever you want from the chefs. They’re usually inexpensive and a much better value than restaurants, while giving you the opportunity to try from a wide selection of everyday Russian food. They’re also very tasty. I always include some borsch on my tray and go from there. The places themselves are all over Moscow and usually come with Soviet-era aesthetics to complete the experience.

Street Safety Score: 7

*As always, no place is completely safe! So when I talk about safety, I’m speaking in general comparison to other places. Always take precaution, be smart, observe your surroundings and trust your instincts anywhere you go!

Being the 2nd largest city in Europe with over 12 million people, you’re going to have your dangerous areas, but for the most part, it feels safe walking around. Russia is statistically higher in crime compared to most of Europe, but this generally doesn’t apply to tourists and visitors. Around the Red Square and surrounding city center, you should feel completely safe walking around. Pick pocketing can happen, but no more than other touristic places. I always explore Moscow freely without coming across too much to worry about. It’s a spread out city, though, so of course it matters where you are. Just use basic street smarts, know where you are and Moscow shouldn’t give you a problem. 

People’s Reaction Score: 7

Moscow is fast paced, big city life, which usually means people aren’t too concerned with you, or your camera. I don’t find people notice or pay much attention to me when I’m out taking photos in Moscow. For the most part, people just go about their day. You shouldn’t get too many looks or concern. But it can depend on the area you are in. The more you stick out, the more you might get noticed with suspicions. I’ve never had any problems in Moscow, or Russia, but just be careful who you’re taking a photo of if you get out of the city center. Other than that, it’s about average for reactions. 

Street Tips:

Learn the alphabet .

Much of Moscow, including the metro system, doesn’t use english. The Russian alphabet uses letters from the Cyrillic script, which if you aren’t familiar with it and don’t know the sounds, can be hard to decipher the words. This is most important for street names and metro stops when trying to get around. It can save confusion and make it easier getting around if you learn the basic alphabet. At the very least then, you can sound out the words to see which are similar in the english conversion, which can help matching them to maps. When out shooting street photography, getting around is as important as anything. So save yourself some time and frustration by learning the Russian Alphabet.

Use the metro

While Saint-Petersburg feels very walkable for a city its size, Moscow can feel very spread out, even for its bigger size. Outside of the Red Square area, you can have plenty of walking before getting anywhere very interesting, so you’ll need to take the metro a lot if you really want to explore the city. Maps are deceiving here too, it will always be further than it looks.

Another reason it’s less walkable than Saint-Petersburg is its completely different set-up. Moscow’s streets are mostly contstructed in rings with narrow, winding streets in-between. This is common with medieval city cities that used to be confined by walls, but you usually don’t have it in a city this massive. Saint-Petersburg has a more grid-like pattern that also uses the canals to help you know your way around. When it comes to navigating on foot in Moscow, it can be more difficult, so bring a map and take the metro when needed. It’s why Moscow’s metro carries more passengers per day than the London and Paris subways combined.

Explore other areas if you have time

Moscow is really big. While most people stay around the Red Square within the Boulevard Ring, there’s so much more to the city. I covered some other spots outside of this circle, but if you really want to see the city, you’ll need time. If you do have time, some other areas I’d check out first are Zamoskvarechye, along some of the south and western Moscow.

Conclusion:

Moscow’s name brings a certain mystique, but once you’re there it might bring a different atmosphere than you expect. It’s big and sprawling, but beautiful in many ways. It can feel like a European capital on a grand scale, but you can definitely find its Russian side in there.

The urban sprawl of Moscow can be intimidating, but give it enough time and you’ll be rewarded with plenty to discover. All with the world’s best metro system to take you around.

I hope this guide can help you start to experience some of what Moscow contains. So grab your camera and capture all that Moscow has to offer for Street Photography!
