#summerspritz Moscow gradually awakens, bathed in the warm glow of the rising sun, and life in the capital takes on a different rhythm altogether. Especially delightful is starting the day at the small cozy café Niqa, where every morning is imbued with a special charm. The real star attraction here is a massive mug of cappuccino, holding precisely one and a half liters. This size was deliberately chosen by the owners to allow visitors to fully enjoy the quality of their coffee, receiving a boost of energy for the entire day ahead. The oversized mug of cappuccino can be served either alone or paired with a traditional French croissant. The choice depends entirely on your preferences: some people love combining the robust aroma of coffee with crunchy pastry, while others prefer drinking their coffee pure, relishing its depth of flavor without distractions. No matter which option you choose, the presentation remains impeccable: a tall white mug elegantly adorned with delicate froth, perhaps lightly dusted with cocoa powder or adorned with syrup droplets. The ceramic vessel gently warms your hands, while the hot beverage envelops you in the irresistible aroma of genuine Italian espresso. Paired with the cooling refreshment of Summer Spritz, the combination creates a unique symphony of tastes and sensations, elevating your breakfast to a realm of sheer pleasure and ease. Café Niqa is the perfect place to spend a fulfilling and pleasurable morning, feeling attuned to the rhythm of a newly awakened, sun-kissed city.

▌ What Russians Consider Commonplace Is a Dream for Foreigners 🪆 They ask me to show more of Moscow! It seems we're on the brink of a new global trend towards all things Russian. And it's not just about clothing (the boom in adapted everyday kokoshniks isn't fading away), nor is it merely an overall demand for the style known as “Slavic Girl” or “boss's girlfriend from the Russian mafia,” with their extravagant fur coats, furs, and scarves. No, what people want now is authentic modern beautiful clothes in the true Russian style, adapted to contemporary life. Including designs by Russian fashion designers. Foreigners tell me they want to come to Moscow, dream of seeing it, and if these were words from random individuals, I wouldn't believe them. But most of them I've known for years. Meanwhile, Moscow embodies the quintessential Russian vibe! ▌ Today I'm Showcasing Summer in Moscow 🎈 In the city center, several summer photo zones have been set up under the auspices of the project #ЛетoвМоскве (#SummerinMoscow). The municipal government has declared Moscow the capital of summer for three months, from June 1st to September 7th, 2025. These are not just spots for pretty pictures—there are also summer cafes, festivals, green theaters, circus tents, swimming pools, immersive museums, trade stalls like “Berry Seasons” or vintage markets. Sports events, open-air cinemas, dancing, art, libraries, interactive activities, lectures, workshops, eco-festivals, craft studios, eco-walks and eco-quizzes, social projects promoting mutual aid. Activities in parks, picnics... Altogether, there are nearly 1,000 locations across Moscow and its suburbs! Oh, even I envy Muscovites! Tell me: which photo zones within this project you've already visited, what sights you've seen, did you try honey beer, got any gifts? 📍 Location: Moscow, Russia ✨ Project: #ЛетoвМоскве (#SummerinMoscow) ⭐️ Enjoy your summer explorations!

I’ve heard that Moscow’s subway stations are the most beautiful in the world and have even been featured on Lonely Planet. Now that I’m in Moscow, I must come and see them! Its subway is mainly a transformation of the underground air-raid shelter in the past, located 300 meters underground or even deeper. The good-looking stations are mainly concentrated on the No. 2 and No. 5 Grand Loop Lines, each with its own unique features. Highly recommended 👍 🎯 Komsomolskaya metro station (Line 5): You can look for the Komsomol emblem on top of the limestone column. The tiles are marked with images of hard-working volunteers. If you don’t have time, you must go to this place! 🎯Belorusskaya Station (Lines 2 and 5): 12 sets of ceilings introduce Russia’s 🇷🇺12 western neighbors, and the floor is a traditional Belarusian pattern, super beautiful! 🎯Xinzhuang Station Novoslobodskaya (Line 5): 32 pieces of Art Nouveau stained glass, the central hall is decorated with a mosaic of "World Peace" Others include Mayakovskaya Station (Line 2), Prospect Mira Station (Line 5), and Kievskaya Station (Line 5), which are all worth visiting and recommended❤️ #NewYearGoodDestinations2025 #MoscowStrategy

As the capital of Russia, Moscow is a tourist-friendly city. It has dense public transportation such as subways 🚇 and buses 🚌, which is very comfortable for slow walking and slow shooting 👍 In addition to the Kremlin complex, there are also several major attractions along the Moscow River, which are very suitable for casual walking and jumping. It is also one of my favorite ways to travel. The recommended itinerary is as follows: Cathedral of Christ the Saviour - Stroll along the Moscow River and take pictures on the bridge - Moscow State University/Sparrow Hills - Kalomenskoye Estate - Charitsyn Park I especially like to look at the Kremlin scenery from the bridge on the other side of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. It is very suitable for taking pictures. When the weather is good, I can take pictures of the church from the other side⛪️. Occasionally, I can also take pictures of the aperture light and shadow, which is great👍

Russia has always been on my travel list. The planned free travel was delayed due to language problems. In fact, if you only travel to Moscow and St. Petersburg, there is basically no problem with transportation and tourist facilities. It is just that the trip around the Golden Ring will be more troublesome. The first place to visit in Russia is definitely the famous Kremlin complex, which is centered on the Red Square. A one-day walking tour can basically cover all the important attractions. Considering the security check factors, it is recommended to arrange it like this: First visit the Ivan the Great Bell Tower and the Tsar Bell on the periphery - slowly walk into the Kremlin security entrance - enter and visit St. Basil's Cathedral/Kremlin/Russian State Historical Museum - GUM Department Store (lunch on the way) - walk to the nearby subway station in the evening and visit the world's most beautiful Komsomol subway station The itinerary can be fine-tuned according to the weather. Outside the main Kremlin complex, you can also spend another whole day playing along the Moscow River in the city. I personally like their ice cream-like rooftop buildings and took a lot of photos. Highly recommended! #RussianTourism #MoscowRedSquare #MoscowStrategy #Moscow #2025GoodPlaces

Moscow might seem a bit more ordinary compared to St. Petersburg. The most famous sites, Saint Basil's Cathedral and the Kremlin, are both located in the same large square. Red Square is right next door too. Super convenient! I recommend staying in the city center, as the surrounding attractions are all close by. The metro is also very convenient for traveling further afield. Make sure you have small change for the metro.🪙

There should be no objection to me saying that the Cathedral of the Armed Forces is the most beautiful church in Russia 🇷🇺! This church is the youngest among the famous churches ⛪ in Moscow It was completed in 2020 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the victory ✌🏻️ of the Soviet-German War The church bell tower 🕰 is 75 meters high, representing the 75th anniversary of the victory of the Soviet-German War The diameter of the large dome is 19.45 meters, representing the victory of the war in 1945 The height of the small dome is 14.18 meters, symbolizing the 1418 days and nights of the Soviet-German War Unlike traditional churches ⛪, all the murals in this church do not reflect some scenes from the Bible Instead, there are a large number of murals showing scenes of the Soviet army and stories The floor is also made of melted German tanks To show that the German army is trampled underfoot! The church fully demonstrates Soviet aesthetics (Russian aesthetics) I have to say that although the Russian economy is not good, their aesthetics have always been online If you travel to Russia, please don't miss this church ⛪ in the suburbs of Moscow ✅Transportation guide🚕 There is currently no direct bus 🚌 It is recommended to take a Yandex taxi From Red Square in Moscow, a one-way trip costs about 2,500 rubles (about 25 euros) The one-way trip takes about 1 hour, and I personally think it is one of the most worthwhile churches to visit ❤️Taxi name: Glavnyy Khram Vooruzhonnykh Sil Rossii ❤️Best time to visit the church: 3️⃣ hours ⚠️Don't miss the basement, the highly supported mosaic decoration and bright colors are very visually impactful ✅If you have time after visiting the church, it is recommended to visit the military museum next to it It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the church Museum name: "Motory

Day 2 in Russia 💞Route: Hotel - Red Square - Turandot Cafe - Cathedral of the Armed Forces - The вык - Hotel - Leningradsky Railway Station 💕We had breakfast at the hotel at 7:30 am. The breakfast was very artistic, with paintings on the walls for sale and very European-style lamps made of large glass beads. Surprisingly, there was no milk, but egg drop soup. 🍑We walked to Red Square after breakfast, which was about 2 km away. We saw many Moscow buildings along the way, which were a bit artistic, but not too much. Most of them were built during the Soviet era, giving a sense of solidity. 🍉There was an ice rink in Red Square. There were many ice rinks here. Then we went to GUM and had a 150-ruble ice cream, which was very sweet. We went to a bathroom for 50 rubles and saw a piece of clothing for more than 3,000 rubles, which was quite expensive. 🌟Then we walked to McDonald's across from Turandot Cafe and took a carpool to the Cathedral of the Armed Forces. We departed at about 1:00 pm and arrived at 2:15 pm. 🎉We left for The вык at 6:00 pm. Don't go there. The food was terrible. The most expensive steak for 1,600 rubles was like chewing wax, and all the drinks contained alcohol. 🍀We took a taxi back to the hotel at 8:30 pm, picked up our luggage, and took a taxi to Leningradsky Railway Station. Then we sat in the business lounge, where many foods were freshly made, including beef, fish, pork, Russian fast food, potato salad, water, drinks, and milk. The food was very rich, and the sofa was very soft. We waited until 11:50 pm when the screen showed our platform number, and we got on the train. There was food, bread, high-concentration tomato juice, and chocolate on the train. The bed was already made. We just needed to put it down and take the pillow to sleep. At first, we couldn't find the bed and wondered why it wasn't made. Then we studied it and thought it was impossible, so we found it ourselves and put it down. We slept well that night. We locked the door and slept very relaxedly until 8:00 am. We had an hour to eat. We ordered an omelet and cheese yesterday, but we got the same thing.
