Vayama special deals

Moscow is the heart of Russia and Red Square is the heart of Moscow: The iconic onion domes of St Basil’s cathedral, the long red brick wall of the Kremlin, Lenin’s Mausoleum. The Moscow Subway is the cheapest way to get around and some of the Metro stations are works of art with marble walls, chandeliers and beautiful socialist era murals. Take an afternoon walk around Gorky Park and then a night stroll around the illuminated buildings on Red Square. Eat and drink where cheaply the locals do (specially students) and the beautiful, icon filled, churches are free to visit. Don’t miss the fun Russian ritual of the Baya, a hot steam bathhouse. The best ones offer caviar and vodka shots but plenty of cheap local ones abound. Look out for the Business Menu Lunch at posh restaurants during lunchtime for half the price of an evening meal. Free museums abound, including Maximo Gorky’s house. Enjoy Moscow for less with vayama’s cheap international airfares to Mother Russia this winter.
