Passport presents: Moscow in winter
What to do when the mercury is low and the snow is uninviting? Europe’s largest city has an endless supply of great indoor museums, galleries and attractions. Some are free; none is expensive. And if all these are not enough for you, there is a great selection of bookshops, too, with English language titles for all ages.
PASSPORT has the pleasure of offering you a loosely grouped pix-and-mix of a dozen of our favourites, with photos:
