Aeroflot SU2537 / DUS-SVO
March 18, 2018 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ -2 °C
Surprise - We did not stay at an airport hotel the night before the flight 😄

When we arrived at the airport to drop off our baggage and to check-in, the check-in agent smiled at us and told us, that we have been upgraded to Business Class - perfect start of this trip 😍

So we spent some time at the Hugo Junkers Lounge at DUS Airport before boarding our flight.

The flight itself was fabulous - the flight attendant responsible for Business Class was super friendly and caring.

Immigration to Russia was also easy - it was the first time I didn't even have to say one word.. I just showed my passport and my visa, signed the immigration card twice, got my stamps and I was done.. 😁

From the airport we took the Aeroexpress to Belorusskaya station, tickets could be purchased online - again, super easy and convenient. The ride from airport to city just took 30 minutes.Read more

Hotel Adagio Moscow Kievskaya
March 18, 2018 in Russia ⋅ ☀️ -5 °C
We spent the 4 nights at the Adagio Moscow Kievskaya, a modern Aparthotel from Accor Hotel Group (Mercure, Novotel, ibis, etc.).

The hotel is located right across Kievskaya station, which has 3 metro lines, meaning, we had perfect connections to the whole city.

All rooms are equipped with a small kitchen area.Read more

Getting to Know the Area
March 18, 2018 in Russia ⋅ 🌙 -7 °C
As it was already late when we arrived at the hotel, we decided just to talk a short walk outside the hotel and get to know the area a bit.

Near the hotel there was a little park with access to Moskva River.. and SNOW 😁

We later made a short visit to the big shopping mall directly next to our hotel: Evropeysky Shopping CenterRead more

Red Square
March 19, 2018 in Russia ⋅ ⛅ -1 °C
The next day we directly made our way to (probably) Moscow's main attraction - Red Square.

It took 10 minutes with the metro to get there.

We didn't visit any of the Museums or exhibitions, we just walked around the area a bit and enjoyed the cold, but sunny weather 😎Read more

Vorob'yory Gory Area
March 20, 2018 in Russia ⋅ ☀️ 0 °C
We decided to spend some time outside of the centre of Moscow, so we took a ride to Vorob'yory Gory station and had a little walk besides Moskva River and through the forest up to an observation spot with views all over Moscow Downtown.

As Moscow University was nearby, we also took a look at the campus.Read more

VDNX
March 21, 2018 in Russia ⋅ ☁️ 0 °C
VDNX or VDNKh is an all purpose trade show and amusement park - unfortunately it's was at this time just a massive construction site (I guess due to football World Cup in Russia this year).

Lots of museums and exhibitions can be visited here.. but for us, maybe next time 😅Read more

Red Square at day was already an impressive sight, but seeing it at night made this place feel completely different.

That's it 😋

We took the Aeroexpress back to SVO Airport - everything went extremely smooth and fast (passport control, security check, etc.).

Luckily we got upgraded by Aeroflot again, that's a nice end of this story, isn't it? 😎Read more
