Historical tour with a twist
Immerse yourselves in the charm of the ancient city, soak in the culture, history and impress your partner with this wholesome date that ends in a relaxing Russian banya session
- Start your exciting date with visiting Moscow's heart - the incredible Red Square with its iconic St. Basil's Cathedral. Walk hand in hand, discussing the rich history and marveling at the spectacular views. From there, make your way to the Alexandrovsky Garden to pay respects to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and take some time to appreciate the grandeur of Kremlin Walls.
- Now that you have taken in the astonishing architecture, history and culture, it's perfect time to relax and enjoy some simple pleasures of life in traditional Russian banya. Experience the steamy atmosphere and therapeutic effects of the Russian bath and warm up from the cold Moscow weather.
- Lastly, relish in an intimate dinner in one of the cozy Moscow restaurants. Opt for traditional Russian cuisine, a perfect culmination to your historical journey. There is always a special kind of bonding that happens over shared anecdotes and wholesome food.
Preparation steps:
- Before your date commences, make sure to do a bit of homework about the historical places you are going to visit. Telling interesting stories about the places can make the date more interesting and unique.
- For the banya, carry a pair of comfortable slippers, a large towel or a bath sheet, and a woolen hat to protect your head from high heat. Avoid eating heavy before your banya experience and it's preferable to not consume alcohol during the bath, as the combination of heat and alcohol can lead to dehydration.
- Book a table in advance at the restaurant where you would like to wrap up your date. It could be a popular place, and you wouldn't want to wait for a table when you're hungry after a long, exciting day.
Some tips:
- Visit the monuments during the day for the best experience, while the banya would be a perfect relaxation in the late afternoon, providing a fairly easy transition from an adventure-packed day to a soothing evening.
- Don't forget to hydrate and take care of your health throughout the day. You may also bring a bottle of non-alcoholic drink to the banya.
- The banya could be a widely new experience for your partner. So ensure to guide them through the process and make them comfortable. Booking a private room at the banya could be a good idea for enjoying some privacy.
