It takes patience and enthusiasm to get a guide to Moscow right. The author of The Rough Guide to Moscow lived in the city, married a Russian, and survived the storming of the White House (he was outside, not inside) – never losing a single note. The results, in remarkable detail, are all here in this contemporary and practical guide to the reborn Russian capital. We’ve included information on the most interesting sights, detailed reviews of the best places to eat, drink and stay, and a comprehensive section on Russian history and culture. 34 maps (4 pages of colour maps)
