Getting Around Moscow

Central Moscow is easily explored by foot, however taxis are plentiful and easy to flag down with a raised hand and a little confidence. Take note that a lot of private car owners act as unofficial taxis and whoever picks you up is unlikely to have a meter, so be sure to confirm the fare with the driver before you get in. One of the highlights of any trip to Moscow is the underground/metro which is one of the most impressive in the world with chandeliers and palatial ticket halls. Crime is a problem in Moscow so avoid carrying a lot of cash and walking alone at night.
