Get ready to be amazed by the extensive collection of Russian art that will leave you spellbound. Later, escape the bustle of the city and head to Gorky Park. You can either pack your own picnic or try the park's wonderful cafes. Afterwards, you could explore the park on a bike or relax next to the lake. Ever imagined how the city looks when the sun goes down? Head to the Patriarshy Bridge and catch the sparkling skyline, nothing short of a dream sequence, isn't it?

Day 3 – Shopping and Farewell

The final day in Moscow should undoubtedly be dedicated to shopping. Start exploring the vibrant Izmailovsky Market. From traditional Russian souvenirs to unique crafts, this place is a paradise for shopaholics. Don't forget to haggle! For a chic shopping experience, hit the Tverskaya Street, popular for high-end shopping, and maybe pick up a luxury goodie for yourself. And before you say goodbye to Moscow, feast on a scrumptious farewell dinner. Maybe try some Pirozhki or Stroganoff, they are downright delicious!
