Moscow Insider Tip

The Moscow Metro is a tourist attraction in itself — stations like Komsomolskaya, Mayakovskaya, and Novoslobodskaya are palatial with mosaics, marble, and chandeliers. Buy a Troika card at any station; a single swipe costs far less than tourist day passes. Avoid rush hour (8–9 am, 5:30–7 pm) when carriages are wall-to-wall.

Paris Insider Tip

Always greet shopkeepers with 'Bonjour' when entering. The French value politeness above all.
