Moscow Museum Tour with a Twist
Experience the wonders of Moscow's museums then enjoy a twilight picnic by the river. This is the perfect opportunity for art-loving couples to engage in deep conversations and make unforgettable memories.
- You both would start at the State Tretyakov Gallery, where you'll immerse yourself in Russian art. The gallery gives a comprehensive representation of Russian fine art from the 12th century up to the 20th century.
- Your second stop would be the iconic Pushkin Museum, where you'll explore works from antiquity up to the 19th century. The museum gives a unique perspective into the history and culture of various civilizations over centuries.
- Finally, you will end your evening with a quiet riverside picnic. With a prepared basket of local Russian delicacies and a bottle of bubbly, you can watch the city lights come alive as the sun sets over the Moskva River.
Preparation steps:
- To get the best out of this date, you should plan in advance. Buy tickets to the State Tretyakov Gallery and the Pushkin Museum online or on the day. Remember, these venues are popular, so it's best to avoid the crowd.
- Next, pack a picnic basket with local Russian delicacies like Pirozhki (stuffed pastries), Blini (crepes), and Zakuski (appetizers). Don't forget a bottle of champagne or good quality Russian vodka for an unforgettable riverside toast.
- Last but not least, prepare a cozy blanket, and a portable speaker to play your favorite tunes on the river bank as you watch the sun setting over the Moskva River.
Some tips:
- To ensure your date goes smoothly, keep the following tips in mind:
- When visiting the museums, check the visiting hours and plan your date accordingly.
- If neither of you speak Russian, consider hiring a guide or get an audio guide to make the most of your museum experience.
- Dress comfortably. You'll be on your feet walking through the museums and carrying your picnic for a while, so wear comfortable shoes and layers.
