Advantages: Huge and high standard collections, cheap

Disadvantages: Too many to choose from, need to go on recommendation

Moscow is nothing short of culture, from the National Gallery of art museums, the Tretakovsky to the visit into the brilliant and chaotic mind (literally a trip through his mind) of Mayakovsky, Moscow has something for everyone.

Museums are crammed in every place possible - from the bejewelled interior of the Kremlin to every single church opening it's doors to the public, especially welcoming foreign tourists who pay at least ten times more than the locals. (Cheap still and worth every penny)
