15 Marina Bay Singapore Attractions: A Walking Tour of the Marina Bay Waterfront

Welcome to JetSetting Fools, here you will find our best travel tips for destinations worldwide. Some of the links on this site are Affiliate Links and if you use them to make a purchase, we may earn a commission. For more information, read our Disclosure Policy .

Marina Bay Singapore is an entertainment, commercial and residential hub – and a must-see on any trip to Singapore! The best way to discover the district is to walk around Marina Bay – and we designed a perfect Marina Bay Walking Trail that features top sights. 

Development of Marina Bay – an area built on reclaimed land and fed by the Singapore River – only began in 1988, but quickly grew and gained status as one of the top Singapore tourist attractions. The modern-marvel Marina Bay Sands Hotel is a focal point of the area – and can be seen from afar – but there are many more Marina Bay Singapore attractions to see.

Our easy-to-follow Marina Walk Singapore is perfect for sightseeing in Marina Bay!

About Our Marina Bay Waterfront Promenade Walk

Our self-guided Singapore Marina Bay Waterfront Walking Tour begins with an up-close look at the Merlion fountain. Walking counterclockwise, our Marina Bay walking route circles around the perimeter of the bay – detouring a couple of times – to explore the best things to do in Marina Bay.

To help you find your way on the Marina Bay Sands Walk, we’ve included a Marina Bay Map of Sights at the end of the post.

Top Tip : Combine this Singapore Marina Bay walking tour with two other nearby must-see districts! Exploring Singapore Chinatown and the SG Downtown Core  are two of the top things to do around Marina Bay Sands. 

What You Will Need for your MBS Walk

Before you set off to see the tourist attractions in Marina Bay, make sure you are prepared for your walk! 

City Walking Shoes for Singapore

We cover some ground in our Marina Bay Waterfront Singapore Walk. Despite the heat, it is best to wear comfortable walking shoes for the self-guided tour. I like to wear lightweight shoes by Columbia – and Kris prefers city walks in his Merrell shoes. Find more tips in our post, The Best Shoes for Traveling . 

Singapore Sun Protection

The sun in Singapore is intense – and there is little shade along most of the Marina Bay Sands walkway. Plan to get an early start and be sure to apply sunscreen before your walk – and consider bringing a wide-brimmed travel hat or travel umbrella to shade your face. 

Singapore Travel Camera

There are numerous incredible sights along the Marina Bay Sands Promenade – and we think it is best to capture the beauty with a real travel camera . In our travels, we use a Canon Rebel (an excellent budget camera for beginners!) with an everyday 18-135mm lens (which is ideal for city pics!). 

WiFi and Singapore Map

At the end of the post, we provide a useful Singapore Marina Bay Map, but you can only use it when you are connected to the internet . To stay connected when we travel, we use a GlocalMe Mobile WiFi Hotspot . We can connect up to ten devices at one time (great for families or groups), data is available online or via SIM card and it doubles as a power bank. 

However, having a paper map is always a good idea…just in case. You can buy a Marina Bay Singapore Map – like this one  – before your trip. 

Travel Day Pack

Whether you travel with a backpack or a suitcase , you’ll also want the perfect day bag to organize all your everyday travel essentials  for your Marina promenade walk. 

Travel Insurance for your Singapore Trip

Travel Insurance may protect against canceled trips and lost luggage , as well as illness and injury abroad, too. Get rates, coverage and details with World Nomads . 

Marina Bay Singapore Attractions

Our Marina walking trail is the perfect introduction to the district and the many tourist attractions that reside in it. That said, some of the Marina Bay Singapore Attractions require a fee.

Because we were visiting Singapore on a budget , we were not able to partake in all of the Marina Bay activities or enter all of the attractions. However, with our Self-Guided Marina Bay Walking Tour we were able to see the highlights of the area. To help other travelers determine which sights to enter, we’ve include additional information regarding admission prices and tickets.

Guided Tours in Marina Bay, Singapore

We enjoyed our walk by the bay on our own, but visitors can also join guided tours and sightseeing in Marina Bay. On a highly-touted 3-hour walk, participants learn the secrets behind Marina Bay Singapore that are not found in guidebooks. Reserve your spot for the guided walking tour now on Viator !

MBS Free Walking Tour Singapore

Lace up your walking shoes – it is time to start exploring the many things to do around Marina Bay!

Top Tip : Use the Raffles Place MRT Station to get to Marina in Singapore. If walking to Marina Bay Sands Waterfront from the Downtown Core, use the air-conditioned underpass at Fullerton Hotel to avoid both the heat and the traffic…and then make your way to the Merlion Fountain. 

#1 Merlion Fountain

The first stop on our Marina Bay Sands Tour of Attractions is the famous Merlion Marina Bay Fountain. 

The half-fish-half-lion creature, the Merlion, is a symbol of Singapore that melds the city’s history as a fishing village (translating the word sea to mer) and meaning of its original name (Singapura, meaning Lion City).

One of the five official Merlion statues in Singapore, it sits at the edge of Marina Bay with water spouting from its mouth. A viewing platform has been built over the water to allow visitors to see – and pose for pictures – from multiple angles and is one of the top Marina Bay attractions.

#2 Clifford Pier, Singapore

Built in 1933, Clifford Pier welcomed immigrants, tourists and Singapore visitors exiting ships until 2006 when it was no longer needed. The historic building how houses an upscale restaurant, The Clifford Pier, which is part of The Fullerton Bay Hotel, a 5-star Marina Bay hotel.

#3 The Promontory

Often used for Marina Bay events, The Promontory offers spectacular views of the iconic sights on Marina Bay Waterfront Promenade Singapore. Tip: Set your camera to Pano mode for a great panoramic shot!

#4 Marina Bay Financial Center & LeVel 33

Marina Bay Financial Center is comprised of five soaring office/residential use skyscrapers – the tallest exceeding 800 feet. While visiting the offices may not be one of the top activities in Marina Bay, going to the brewery is! 

Beer enthusiasts and those seeking an elevated view of Marina Bay will not want to miss LeVel 33 , the world’s highest brewery. Located on the 33rd Floor of Tower 1, drinking a beer at the brewery is one of the best things to do in Marina Bay Singapore. Of all the Marina Bay bars, this is the one we highly recommend!

From the prime balcony seating, views stretch over the bay to the Singapore Flyer and Gardens by the Bay. It’s an ideal place to take Marina Bay Singapore pictures from above. Beers may not be cheap…but the view is included!

#5 Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands

The Shoppes at Marina Bay is a luxury shopping mall in Singapore (one of the many). The Marina Bay shops are very Las Vegas-esque, complete with high-end stores, restaurants, a Marina Bay casino and even an indoor ‘river’ with gondola rides.

Regardless of whether or not you are a shopper, the Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands offer a nice place to cool off from the sweltering Singapore temperatures. Strolling by the stores is also one of the free things to do at Marina Bay Sands complex.

#6 Marina Bay Sands Singapore

The iconic Marina Bay Sands Hotel is the centerpiece of Marina Bay Singapore. Looking as if the towers emerged from the depths of the sea, sweeping a boat right out of the water and hoisting it up in the air, the architecture is astounding.

While looking at the building is awe-inspiring, visitors are invited to go to the top to take in the incredible Marina Bay Sands view of Singapore. The most coveted viewpoint is from the famous Marina Bay Sands rooftop infinity pool, but unfortunately, the Marina Bay Sands Pool is only open to hotel guests (find out just how much a room will cost for your stay !). However, the 57th Floor SkyPark can be visited ( ticket required ) and Marina Bay Sands restaurants and bars are open to the public. 

#7 Gardens by the Bay

Visiting Gardens by the Bay tops the list of Things To Do at Marina Bay Singapore! Highlights of the gardens include the Supertree Grove, Sun Pavillion, Heritage Gardens, World of Plants, Dragonfly Lake and Kingfisher Lake…and admission to these Marina Bay tourist attractions is absolutely free! The attractions are linked together by the Gardens by the Bay walking trail. 

Visiting the two indoor gardens, the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest, are top MBS attractions. However, these sights require a ticket for entry .

Gardens by the Bay are a must when Marina Bay sightseeing. Time your visit to coincide with the daily Garden Rhapsody light show (or make a return visit at night). The Gardens by the Bay laser show happens daily at 7:45pm and 8:45pm. 

#8 Marina Barrage, Singapore

Visiting the Barrage is one of the Marina Bay activities that many tourists miss – but shouldn’t! The Marina Bay district dam was built in 2008 to maintain a fresh water supply for the city and it was specifically designed to double as outdoor space for residents and tourists to enjoy.

The Marina Barrage Walking Trail loops around to the top of the Marina Barrage building for phenomenal views. On the Marina Barrage walk, visitors can see the Supertree Grove and Marina Bay Sands Hotel Singapore. The massive, grassy park is perfect for a picnic, flying a kite and watching sunset. Guests with ample time can cross the dam to walk through Gardens by the Bay East. 

Top Tip : If you need to cool off before or after arriving at Marina Barrage, kick off your shoes and wade into the splash park at the base of the Barrage.  

#9 ArtScience Museum Marina Bay Sands

If you are wondering what to do in Marina Bay indoors, then the ArtScience Museum is your answer! As part of the hotel complex, visiting the ArtScience Museum is one of the more educational Marina Bay Sands activities. The shiny building, designed to resemble a lotus flower, houses intriguing exhibitions relating art to science. A ticket is required for entry.

#10 Helix Marina Bay Bridge

The Helix Bridge is a DNA-looking pedestrian bridge straddling the narrow opening of the bay – and crossing it is one of the top things to do in Marina Bay Sands. The bridge has lookouts offering views of the marina and Singapore from different vantage points.

#11 Singapore Flyer

From a distance, the Singapore Flyer might look like any ordinary carnival Ferris wheel, but the Marina Bay observation wheel is truly incredible. Standing at 541 feet, it ranked as the World’s Tallest Ferris Wheel when it opened on Marina Bay in Singapore (and only was surpassed in 2014 by the Vegas High Roller).

The wheel has 28 air-conditioned capsules, each of which can hold up to 28 people – and is a major Marina Bay tourist attraction. A ride on the Singapore Flyer requires a ticket .

#12 Marina Bay Float

Complete your Marina Bay walking tour along the Marina Bay promenade on the north side of the bay and pass by the Marina Bay Float: a professional floating soccer field. The Marina Bay floating platform also hosts other events, like ceremonies and concerts. 

#13 Esplanade Theaters by the Bay

Continue walking along the Marina Bay trail to the Esplanade Theaters. Another example of unique Singapore architecture on Marina Bay, Esplanade Theatres by the Bay is a performing arts center, housing both a concert hall and a theater inside. It’s the outside, however, that garners much attention from tourists. The design looks to some like the eyes of a fly, but to many Singaporeans, it resembles the stinky, tropical fruit, durian.

#14 Makansutra Gluttons Bay

End your Singapore Marina Bay self-guided walking tour with a bite to eat at the popular Gluttons Bay hawker stalls – some of the best cheap food around Marina Bay Sands.

At the Hawker Centre, cooks whip up meals at a frenzied pace and the aromas are too good to pass by! Grab a plate of local fare and dine Singapore-style at the plastic picnic tables.

Top Tip : We liked the spicy noodles from Soon Lee Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee – but each stall has a signature dish, so check them all out and decide which looks best to you!

#15 Light Show Marina Bay Sands

One of the top Marina Bay things to do is see the bay at night! With glowing city lights, Marina Bay at night is spectacular – and is enhanced with the impressive laser light show at Marina Bay Sands.

Colorful streams of light cut through the dark sky set to the beat of a music soundtrack. Marina Bay Sands Light Show Time: Every day at 8pm and 9pm – and an additional show on Fridays and Saturdays at 10pm.

Top Tip: See the best of Singapore at night on a guided tour – sights include Gardens by the Bay and the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark Observation Deck. Book before you go with Viator . 

Marina Bay Tourist Map of Sights

That wraps up our Self-Guided Free Tour Singapore Marina Bay! For more tips on visiting Singapore, use our detailed, day-by-day Singapore Itinerary !

More Walking, Running and Hiking Trails in Singapore

We outlined an ideal Marina Bay sightseeing route, but it’s great for getting exercise, too. That said, travelers who want to hit the trails during their trip to Singapore have a few more trail options. 

7 Mile Marina Bay Loop

Joggers looking for a longer Marina Bay trail loop can follow the complete coastline of the bay. A shoreline path parallels the water’s edge for a scenic Marina Bay run. 

Tanjong Rhu Promenade

The Tanjong Rhu Walk is a coast trail along the east side of Marina Bay that connects to Bay East Garden – offering fantastic Singapore skyline views. 

Benjamin Sheares Bridge Walk

Ranked as the longest and tallest bridge in Singapore, the Benjamin Sheares Bridge offers phenomenal views of Singapore – and there is a pedestrian lane for walkers and runners. 

Kent Ridge Park

An excellent spot for a nature walk, Kent Ridge Park features elevated walkways and exercise stations. 

Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve

An ASEAN Heritage Park, Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve has many trails for visitors to walk and enjoy nature. The park is located on the far north side of Singapore, near Johor Bahru, Malaysia . 

Eastern Coastal Loop

The Eastern Coastal Loop is an 11-mile walking and biking trail near the Changi Airport. The Changi walking trail is a mostly paved path through parks and the Changi Beach.

A life of modern luxury

Marina Bay represents all things modern and super-stylish, from trendy dining destinations to exciting leisure spots.

Soak in the sight of Singapore’s bustling Bay area at sunset, as you stroll along the waterfront of a city that never sleeps.

The statue of the Merlion—Singapore’s national icon—once occupied the mouth of the Singapore River, and was moved to its current location overlooking Marina Bay in 2002.

The Marina Bay area is home to some of the city’s most distinctive architectural icons, including the soaring structure of Marina Bay Sands and the charmingly durian-shaped Esplanade.

Catch world-class touring exhibitions at the ArtScience Museum™ at the Marina Bay Sands ® integrated resort. Alternatively, get your culture fix by stepping into a world of innovation and design at the Red Dot Design Museum .

Drop by one of these centres in downtown Singapore to get more information about Singapore, purchase tickets to attractions and tours or pick up a souvenir. Find out more

MARINA BAY NIGHT BIKE TOUR

2 hours // SGD$60 per pax (min 2 pax to go)

If you think the Marina Bay is beautiful by day, wait till the sun sets! Get ready to be awed by our Marina Bay Night Tour, one of our most popular bicycle night tour!

Hop on your bikes (with safety lights of course) and follow your local guide as he navigates the Marina Bay riverfront promenade along the Singapore River. See the city come to life as the buildings light up and people come out to relax after a long day.

Following the Kallang River, we’ll cycle along towards the iconic National Stadium. Along the way you will see tranquil scenery and some of the costliest waterfront homes in Singapore. It will be a scenic and relaxing ride along the way as we take in the beautiful sights of Gardens by the Bay and the Marina Barrage.

If we’re lucky, we’ll catch a live music performance just outside the iconic durain-shaped Esplanade theatres on the bay. Don’t forget to ask your guide about the floating football pitch too! We then cycle towards the Singapore Flyer and the Formula One Pit Building where you get to go onto the track used during the race. Have a friendly dash with your friends or just imagine the roar of the race cars.

Availability : Daily

Night Tour : 7pm-9pm

Start/End : Let’s Go Bike shop

BIKE TOUR HIGHLIGHTS

Start & End Point

Let’s Go Bike Singapore Click  here for address .

The National Stadium

A modern architecture marvel completed in 2014, the Singapore National Stadium seats 55,000 and features a retractable roof. We will ride through the scenic Kallang Park and also get to see this impressive dome on the night tour!

Marina Bay Sands Hotel

Arguably the most recognisable structure in Singapore, Marina Bay Sands is shaped like a surfboard and has hosted many top celebrities here! As we cycle along the Marina promenade, we can take in the splendour of this iconic building and its vibrant surroundings.

Singapore Flyer & Formula One

Bigger than the London Eye, the Singapore Flyer is the world’s largest observation wheel outside the US. It offers unparalleled views of the island 165m above ground.

Right next to the Flyer is the Formula One Pit Building! F1 aficionados will go crazy as few tracks in the world allow you to walk right up to the garages and Start/Finish Line!

*Not accessible during F1 season in September

Marina Barrage

Completed in 2011, the Marina Barrage works to alleviate flooding in low-lying areas of the city. It also dams the mouth of the Marina Channel to create Singapore’s first reservoir in the city area. On weekends, it is a popular getaway for families to picnic or fly kites. We will get to see the beautiful Marina Barrage from across the river as we pedal along.

Gardens By The Bay

Spanning 250 acres on reclaimed land, the Gardens is Singapore’s strategy to create a ‘City in a Garden’ by enhancing the greenery and flora in the area. Our journey across the river allows us to take in the magnificence and size of the Gardens, where you can stop and snap some incredible photos!

Fullerton Hotel

Originally a fort built in 1829 against sea attacks, the main building was built in 1928 and used as the Post Office until 1970s. The Tax Dept took over until 1995. Fullerton Hotel opened in 2001.

Esplanade & The Merlion

The Esplanade is Singapore’s world-class performing arts theatre and concert hall. Or affectionately known as ‘durian’ to locals! The Merlion is a mythical creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish, used as a tourism mascot and national personification of Singapore.

Travel Itinerary For One Week in Moscow: The Best of Moscow!

I just got back from one week in Moscow. And, as you might have already guessed, it was a mind-boggling experience. It was not my first trip to the Russian capital. But I hardly ever got enough time to explore this sprawling city. Visiting places for business rarely leaves enough time for sightseeing. I think that if you’ve got one week in Russia, you can also consider splitting your time between its largest cities (i.e. Saint Petersburg ) to get the most out of your trip. Seven days will let you see the majority of the main sights and go beyond just scratching the surface. In this post, I’m going to share with you my idea of the perfect travel itinerary for one week in Moscow.

Moscow is perhaps both the business and cultural hub of Russia. There is a lot more to see here than just the Kremlin and Saint Basil’s Cathedral. Centuries-old churches with onion-shaped domes dotted around the city are in stark contrast with newly completed impressive skyscrapers of Moscow City dominating the skyline. I spent a lot of time thinking about my Moscow itinerary before I left. And this city lived up to all of my expectations.

Travel Itinerary For One Week in Moscow

Day 1 – red square and the kremlin.

Metro Station: Okhotny Ryad on Red Line.

No trip to Moscow would be complete without seeing its main attraction. The Red Square is just a stone’s throw away from several metro stations. It is home to some of the most impressive architectural masterpieces in the city. The first thing you’ll probably notice after entering it and passing vendors selling weird fur hats is the fairytale-like looking Saint Basil’s Cathedral. It was built to commemorate one of the major victories of Ivan the Terrible. I once spent 20 minutes gazing at it, trying to find the perfect angle to snap it. It was easier said than done because of the hordes of locals and tourists.

As you continue strolling around Red Square, there’s no way you can miss Gum. It was widely known as the main department store during the Soviet Era. Now this large (yet historic) shopping mall is filled with expensive boutiques, pricey eateries, etc. During my trip to Moscow, I was on a tight budget. So I only took a retro-style stroll in Gum to get a rare glimpse of a place where Soviet leaders used to grocery shop and buy their stuff. In case you want some modern shopping experience, head to the Okhotny Ryad Shopping Center with stores like New Yorker, Zara, and Adidas.

To continue this Moscow itinerary, next you may want to go inside the Kremlin walls. This is the center of Russian political power and the president’s official residence. If you’re planning to pay Kremlin a visit do your best to visit Ivan the Great Bell Tower as well. Go there as early as possible to avoid crowds and get an incredible bird’s-eye view. There are a couple of museums that are available during designated visiting hours. Make sure to book your ticket online and avoid lines.

Day 2 – Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the Tretyakov Gallery, and the Arbat Street

Metro Station: Kropotkinskaya on Red Line

As soon as you start creating a Moscow itinerary for your second day, you’ll discover that there are plenty of metro stations that are much closer to certain sites. Depending on your route, take a closer look at the metro map to pick the closest.

The white marble walls of Christ the Saviour Cathedral are awe-inspiring. As you approach this tallest Orthodox Christian church, you may notice the bronze sculptures, magnificent arches, and cupolas that were created to commemorate Russia’s victory against Napoleon.

How to Get a Decent Haircut in a Foreign Country

Unfortunately, the current Cathedral is a replica, since original was blown to bits in 1931 by the Soviet government. The new cathedral basically follows the original design, but they have added some new elements such as marble high reliefs.

Home to some precious collection of artworks, in Tretyakov Gallery you can find more than 150,000 of works spanning centuries of artistic endeavor. Originally a privately owned gallery, it now has become one of the largest museums in Russia. The Gallery is often considered essential to visit. But I have encountered a lot of locals who have never been there.

Famous for its souvenirs, musicians, and theaters, Arbat street is among the few in Moscow that were turned into pedestrian zones. Arbat street is usually very busy with tourists and locals alike. My local friend once called it the oldest street in Moscow dating back to 1493. It is a kilometer long walking street filled with fancy gift shops, small cozy restaurants, lots of cute cafes, and street artists. It is closed to any vehicular traffic, so you can easily stroll it with kids.

Day 3 – Moscow River Boat Ride, Poklonnaya Hill Victory Park, the Moscow City

Metro Station: Kievskaya and Park Pobedy on Dark Blue Line / Vystavochnaya on Light Blue Line

Voyaging along the Moscow River is definitely one of the best ways to catch a glimpse of the city and see the attractions from a bit different perspective. Depending on your Moscow itinerary, travel budget and the time of the year, there are various types of boats available. In the summer there is no shortage of boats, and you’ll be spoiled for choice.

Travel Itinerary for One Week in Beijing

If you find yourself in Moscow during the winter months, I’d recommend going with Radisson boat cruise. These are often more expensive (yet comfy). They offer refreshments like tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and, of course, alcoholic drinks. Prices may vary but mostly depend on your food and drink selection. Find their main pier near the opulent Ukraine hotel . The hotel is one of the “Seven Sisters”, so if you’re into the charm of Stalinist architecture don’t miss a chance to stay there.

The area near Poklonnaya Hill has the closest relation to the country’s recent past. The memorial complex was completed in the mid-1990s to commemorate the Victory and WW2 casualties. Also known as the Great Patriotic War Museum, activities here include indoor attractions while the grounds around host an open-air museum with old tanks and other vehicles used on the battlefield.

How I Planned My Trip to Vietnam

The hallmark of the memorial complex and the first thing you see as you exit metro is the statue of Nike mounted to its column. This is a very impressive Obelisk with a statue of Saint George slaying the dragon at its base.

Maybe not as impressive as Shanghai’s Oriental Pearl Tower , the skyscrapers of the Moscow City (otherwise known as Moscow International Business Center) are so drastically different from dull Soviet architecture. With 239 meters and 60 floors, the Empire Tower is the seventh highest building in the business district.

The observation deck occupies 56 floor from where you have some panoramic views of the city. I loved the view in the direction of Moscow State University and Luzhniki stadium as well to the other side with residential quarters. The entrance fee is pricey, but if you’re want to get a bird’s eye view, the skyscraper is one of the best places for doing just that.

Day 4 – VDNKh, Worker and Collective Farm Woman Monument, The Ostankino TV Tower

Metro Station: VDNKh on Orange Line

VDNKh is one of my favorite attractions in Moscow. The weird abbreviation actually stands for Russian vystavka dostizheniy narodnogo khozyaystva (Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy). With more than 200 buildings and 30 pavilions on the grounds, VDNKh serves as an open-air museum. You can easily spend a full day here since the park occupies a very large area.

Places to Visit in Barcelona That Aren’t Beaches

First, there are pavilions that used to showcase different cultures the USSR was made of. Additionally, there is a number of shopping pavilions, as well as Moskvarium (an Oceanarium) that features a variety of marine species. VDNKh is a popular venue for events and fairs. There is always something going on, so I’d recommend checking their website if you want to see some particular exhibition.

A stone’s throw away from VDNKh there is a very distinctive 25-meters high monument. Originally built in 1937 for the world fair in Paris, the hulking figures of men and women holding a hammer and a sickle represent the Soviet idea of united workers and farmers. It doesn’t take much time to see the monument, but visiting it gives some idea of the Soviet Union’s grandiose aspirations.

I have a thing for tall buildings. So to continue my travel itinerary for one week in Moscow I decided to climb the fourth highest TV tower in the world. This iconic 540m tower is a fixture of the skyline. You can see it virtually from everywhere in Moscow, and this is where you can get the best panoramic views (yep, even better than Empire skyscraper).

Parts of the floor are made of tempered glass, so it can be quite scary to exit the elevator. But trust me, as you start observing buildings and cars below, you won’t want to leave. There is only a limited number of tickets per day, so you may want to book online. Insider tip: the first tour is cheaper, you can save up to $10 if go there early.

Day 5 – A Tour To Moscow Manor Houses

Metro Station: Kolomenskoye, Tsaritsyno on Dark Green Line / Kuskovo on Purple Line

I love visiting the manor houses and palaces in Moscow. These opulent buildings were generally built to house Russian aristocratic families and monarchs. Houses tend to be rather grand affairs with impressive architecture. And, depending on the whims of the owners, some form of a landscaped garden.

During the early part of the 20th century though, many of Russia’s aristocratic families (including the family of the last emperor) ended up being killed or moving abroad . Their manor houses were nationalized. Some time later (after the fall of the USSR) these were open to the public. It means that today a great many of Moscow’s finest manor houses and palaces are open for touring.

20 Travel Tips I’ve Learned From Travelling The World

There are 20 manor houses scattered throughout the city and more than 25 in the area around. But not all of them easily accessible and exploring them often takes a lot of time. I’d recommend focusing on three most popular estates in Moscow that are some 30-minute metro ride away from Kremlin.

Sandwiched between the Moscow River and the Andropov Avenue, Kolomenskoye is a UNESCO site that became a public park in the 1920’s. Once a former royal estate, now it is one of the most tranquil parks in the city with gorgeous views. The Ascension Church, The White Column, and the grounds are a truly grand place to visit.

You could easily spend a full day here, exploring a traditional Russian village (that is, in fact, a market), picnicking by the river, enjoying the Eastern Orthodox church architecture, hiking the grounds as well as and wandering the park and gardens with wildflower meadows, apple orchards, and birch and maple groves. The estate museum showcases Russian nature at its finest year-round.

12 Stunning National Parks and Regional Parks In France

If my travel itinerary for one week in Moscow was a family tree, Tsaritsyno Park would probably be the crazy uncle that no-one talks about. It’s a large park in the south of the city of mind-boggling proportions, unbelievable in so many ways, and yet most travelers have never heard of it.

The palace was supposed to be a summer home for Empress Catherine the Great. But since the construction didn’t meet with her approval the palace was abandoned. Since the early 1990’s the palace, the pond, and the grounds have been undergoing renovations. The entire complex is now looking brighter and more elaborately decorated than at possibly any other time during its history. Like most parks in Moscow, you can visit Tsaritsyno free of charge, but there is a small fee if you want to visit the palace.

How To Stop Procrastinating When Trip Planning

Last, but by no means least on my Moscow itinerary is Kuskovo Park . This is definitely an off-the-beaten-path place. While it is not easily accessible, you will be rewarded with a lack of crowds. This 18th-century summer country house of the Sheremetev family was one of the first summer country estates of the Russian nobility. And when you visit you’ll quickly realize why locals love this park.

Like many other estates, Kuskovo has just been renovated. So there are lovely French formal garden, a grotto, and the Dutch house to explore. Make sure to plan your itinerary well because the estate is some way from a metro station.

Day 6 – Explore the Golden Ring

Creating the Moscow itinerary may keep you busy for days with the seemingly endless amount of things to do. Visiting the so-called Golden Ring is like stepping back in time. Golden Ring is a “theme route” devised by promotion-minded journalist and writer Yuri Bychkov.

Having started in Moscow the route will take you through a number of historical cities. It now includes Suzdal, Vladimir, Kostroma, Yaroslavl and Sergiev Posad. All these awe-inspiring towns have their own smaller kremlins and feature dramatic churches with onion-shaped domes, tranquil residential areas, and other architectural landmarks.

Two Weeks In Thailand: The Perfect 14-Day Itinerary

I only visited two out of eight cities included on the route. It is a no-brainer that Sergiev Posad is the nearest and the easiest city to see on a day trip from Moscow. That being said, you can explore its main attractions in just one day. Located some 70 km north-east of the Russian capital, this tiny and overlooked town is home to Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, UNESCO Site.

Sergiev Posad is often described as being at the heart of Russian spiritual life. So it is uncommon to see the crowds of Russian pilgrims showing a deep reverence for their religion. If you’re traveling independently and using public transport, you can reach Sergiev Posad by bus (departs from VDNKh) or by suburban commuter train from Yaroslavskaya Railway Station (Bahnhof). It takes about one and a half hours to reach the town.

Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius is a great place to get a glimpse of filling and warming Russian lunch, specifically at the “ Gostevaya Izba ” restaurant. Try the duck breast, hearty potato and vegetables, and the awesome Napoleon cake.

Day 7 – Gorky Park, Izmailovo Kremlin, Patriarch’s Ponds

Metro Station: Park Kultury or Oktyabrskaya on Circle Line / Partizanskaya on Dark Blue Line / Pushkinskaya on Dark Green Line

Gorky Park is in the heart of Moscow. It offers many different types of outdoor activities, such as dancing, cycling, skateboarding, walking, jogging, and anything else you can do in a park. Named after Maxim Gorky, this sprawling and lovely park is where locals go on a picnic, relax and enjoy free yoga classes. It’s a popular place to bike around, and there is a Muzeon Art Park not far from here. A dynamic location with a younger vibe. There is also a pier, so you can take a cruise along the river too.

How to Save Money While Traveling in Europe

The Kremlin in Izmailovo is by no means like the one you can find near the Red Square. Originally built for decorative purposes, it now features the Vernissage flea market and a number of frequent fairs, exhibitions, and conferences. Every weekend, there’s a giant flea market in Izmailovo, where dozens of stalls sell Soviet propaganda crap, Russian nesting dolls, vinyl records, jewelry and just about any object you can imagine. Go early in the morning if you want to beat the crowds.

All the Bulgakov’s fans should pay a visit to Patriarch’s Ponds (yup, that is plural). With a lovely small city park and the only one (!) pond in the middle, the location is where the opening scene of Bulgakov’s novel Master and Margarita was set. The novel is centered around a visit by Devil to the atheistic Soviet Union is considered by many critics to be one of the best novels of the 20th century. I spent great two hours strolling the nearby streets and having lunch in the hipster cafe.

Conclusion and Recommendations

To conclude, Moscow is a safe city to visit. I have never had a problem with getting around and most locals are really friendly once they know you’re a foreigner. Moscow has undergone some serious reconstruction over the last few years. So you can expect some places to be completely different. I hope my one week Moscow itinerary was helpful! If you have less time, say 4 days or 5 days, I would cut out day 6 and day 7. You could save the Golden Ring for a separate trip entirely as there’s lots to see!

Thanks for swinging by! The Red Square is a great starting point, but there way too many places and things to discover aside from it!

3-Day Moscow Tour Highlights:

• Panoramic Tour of Moscow: See Moscow beyond the postcard images on a private excursion by car through the city streets including a drive along the banks of the Moskva River.

The city’s history unfolds in real-time as you pass lavish imperial mansions, solemn Soviet structures and luxurious modern shopping centres.

Art lovers should hit up one of Moscow’s many world-class galleries such as the Tretyakov State Gallery, the Pushkin Museum or Garage, Moscow’s cutting-edge contemporary art museum. History fans can follow a Soviet trail through the city including Stalin’s Bunker, while those seeking a more indulgent experience can browse trendy neighbourhoods like Kitay Gorod or shop for everything from fashion to kitsch souvenirs at the enchanting Izmaylovo Flea Market. Foodies can head to one of the countless speciality stores sampling vodka, caviar and chocolate.

Day 1 Panoramic city tour

Welcome to the glorious capital of Russia, Moscow! You’ll be met by your driver at the airport and taken to your centrally located hotel.

After check-in and rest, meet your private guide at the hotel lobby for a comprehensive tour of Moscow by car. Visit the starkly contrasting Theatre Square to see the stunning Bolshoi Theatre, pass Tverskaya Street, the city’s main boulevard and home to the landmark Yeleseyevskiy Grocery Store.

You’ll enjoy a panoramic drive along the Moskva River, where a huge, controversial state of Peter the Great was erected. Pass by the legendary Gorky Park and the White House before a stop at the architecturally stunning Novodevichy Convent, and the observation platform at Sparrow Hills, for a bird’s eye view over this staggering megalopolis.

Day 2 Red Square and Kremlin

After breakfast at the hotel, your guide will take you on a walking tour of the historical city centre. Stroll through the Red Square, the hub of cultural life in Moscow, with its elaborate ‘stone flower’ fountain and fantasy-like St Basil’s Cathedral – a postcard-perfect symbol of the nation. Admire the grandiose façade of GUM, the city’s most luxurious shopping centre, and visit Alexander’s Garden, with its eternal flame and the chance to watch a changing of the guards.

Break for lunch before continuing on a tour of the Kremlin and Armoury Chamber, famous of its collection of tsarist fashion, with regalia such as jewel-encrusted crowns, orbs and sceptres as well as arms and armour, exotic gifts from the leaders of faraway lands, and an illustrious case of Imperial Faberge eggs.

As an option* spend an evening on a sumptuous dinner cruise, taking in the stunning sights and city lights of this mesmerising metropolis by night.

Day 3 Metro and Arbat Street

Start a day with a tour of Metro, stopping on the way to marvel at some of the most elaborately decorated stations of the world-famous Moscow subway system. Take a stroll along Old Arbat street - the most famous street in Moscow. Through the centuries Arbat used to be one of the most bohemian places in Moscow. Today Arbat is a promenade full of small cozy cafes and street life.

The afternoon is free for you to either enjoy the rest of the day on your own or choose among optional excursions to explore more of Moscow. Visit the Tretyakov Gallery or Pushkin State Museum to admire Russian art. Join locals for a stroll at the Gorky or VDNH park.

Visit beautiful Kolomeskoye Estate or Izmailovo Kremlin, or spend a day exploring the beautiful city of the Golden Ring (Russian province) - Sergiev Posad. In the evening you will be transferred to the airport for your departure to your next destination.
