It was a really nice trip. You can travel on a budget. There’s lots to see and do. I’d definitely try local cuisine, there’s a wide choice of dineries. Taxi is affordable, safe. Avoid travelling in the rush hour, the streets can be blocked.

I live in Moscow and feel calm and confident here every day. Even late at night I walk home without fear. The city is well lit, there are always people around, and the overall atmosphere feels very comfortable. As a woman I feel safe and free in my daily life.

Moscow is highlighting safe, you can walk around the city at night time and feel much safer than in any other city. Of course there are stupid people but I’ve beset had a really dangerous accident during my 5 years of living here. People are nice and there’s light everywhere during night
Posted: November 13, 2025from a living here perspective it's complete full of discrimination. i can't find a decent job in cinema area because women aren't allowed to work as cameramans. being lgbt is also unsafe here. and there's the possibility of going to jail for making unflattering statements about the government and the war. BUT!! there are far more reasonable people in russia than you might think. everyone treats tourists politely and kindly. 99% of the time, nothing will be stolen or broken into. so visiting the country just for tourism is quite safe

Moscow is a really safe city. It has clean streets, good traffic management and kind people. I live here for a 7 years. I’m really enjoying all the benefits of this city. A well-organised transport system makes it easy to get to work or meetings with friends. Also there is a wise selection of food in cafes and restaurants. There are many places to walk or do other activities.

Moscow is a fairly safe city, and I haven't encountered any dangerous situations in my 23 years here. For example, if you drop your wallet on the subway, people are more likely to pick it up and run after you to return it rather than steal it, but there may be exceptions, just like anywhere else. Be cautious just in case.
