Moscow
The most successful tourist formula is supposed to comprise historic 
reputation, cultural attractions, architectural spectacle and the one thing able to guarantee popularity and to catch the attention and the curiosity of potential visitors, namely, being the center of everything that matters at a global scale. Moscow embodies all these features, and this is precisely why the city manages to be one of the top choices in terms of tourist options.
What is so amazing about Moscow is that it is a place of both grandeur and ruthlessness. Everything about this city can be defined in these terms: climate, architecture, history, culture, economy, science. And such terms delineate the one concept which fits best the definition of Moscow, that is, power.
Short History of Moscow
Moscow is first mentioned in the 12th century, so one might say that a history of almost one millennium is the perfect basis for whatever has become of the place since that moment until now. Tatars, Swedes, Frenchmen, they have all fought to gain dominion over the place, and their incursions have not left the city without marks. However, Moscow had managed to amass its forces in order to rebuild itself and to live up to its historic destiny.
Accommodation in Moscow
As expensive as the city may be, and, indeed, Moscow is world renowned for the prices it practices with respect to tourist activity, one should know that luxury hotels do not represent the only solution with respect to accommodation. The Napoleon Hotel and the Moscow Home Hostel are two of the cheaper establishments one can resort to in case their budget is rather limited. Grand Hotel Golden Ring and Crowne Plaza Moscow are affordable for tourists without the care of the budget.
Eating out in Moscow
Being the global city that it is, Moscow is a place where several ethnic cuisines have found their representatives in terms of restaurants. Georgian food, Vietnamese and Chinese, Thai or Japanese, as well as Italian and French specialties are extremely popular among both tourists and locals. The ever present fast food is also a popular option; regardless of the dishes one wants to try in Moscow, they should know that having a meal in one of the Moscow's restaurants, despite the pretty high prices, is an experience they should not miss.
Moscow Tourist Attractions and Objectives
The first thing that comes in mind when thinking about Moscow is in most cases the Red Square. It is surrounded by other popular attractions, namely, St. Basil's Cathedral, the Lenin Mausoleum and the State History Museum. The Pushkin Museum is also a must-see in terms of museums, but one should never forget to visit the Kremlin, the Bolshoi Theater or the Tretyakov Gallery. Several streets, such as the Old Arbat Street, the New Arbat Street, or the Tverskaya Street, along with the Gorky Park must be ticked off on the list of priority objectives. However, tourists in Moscow are, above all, busy tourists, since the offer of attractions and objectives is more than generous.
Events and Festivals at Moscow
Prodexpo, despite its dull name, is one of the most popular events in Moscow, since it implies a display of food and drinks brought all over Russia. Maslenitsa or Blini Day is yet another event the core of which is represented by cooking, serving, eating and, above all, enjoying the so called blini, a traditional Russian food. The Russian Orthodox Christmas and the Easter are the main two religious holidays, but one should also take into consideration the Moscow International Film Festival, the Fashion Week in Moscow or the Millionaire Fair as some of the most famous events known to take place in the city, along with the Russian Winter Festival, the December Evenings Festival or the White Nights Festival.
