Moscow When To Go

Compared to the six-month-long winters, summers in Moscow seem incredibly short and people are furious to take advantage of them. Hotels fill up fast and the parties seem to go on forever. Temperatures average 68°F.

Some may complain about the cold, dark, 20-degree winters, but this is the time to see Moscow in all of its brutal beauty. Vodka helps ease the chill. Although hotel rates stay the same, flights discounts are common.

However you look at it, life here is defined by winter – in spring your senses begin to return to you; in fall an anticipatory dread creeps in . Expect weather in the mid-50s.
