The Narkomfin Building, Melnikov’s workers’ club, the grand VDNKh pavilions and a self-guided metro visit.

Grand ensembles and the homes of artists and writers: how to choose for one day.

The Bolshoi and Maly, art on Volkhonka and exhibitions in a former power station.

Compare a white stone cathedral, Kolomna’s ornate church and large monastery ensembles.

What to check before travelling: documents, transport, payments, connectivity and tickets.
