Moscow in Winter - 3 Day Itinerary for First-timers, Moscow, Russia

I know I’m beginning to sound like a broken record at this point, but I can’t help it! Visiting Moscow, Russia during the winter is SO worth being a little cold to experience.

(Granted, Moscow is cold… but a lot of the extreme weather we are picturing is usually from more northern parts of Russia… and Siberia.)

Moscow is absolutely stunning in the winter. And, of course, there are also going to be far fewer tourists during the winter too.
