Moscow

Welcome to Moscow

There's more to Moscow than vodka, although if you want to

 take full advantage of the exchange rate, sticking to the local

 tipple isn't such a bad idea. Moscow's bar scene is ever

 changing as it keeps up with the latest trends from London 

and New York. In fact, there's a heavy emphasis on style - as

 you'll notice from the somewhat strict door policies followed

 by the more expensive bars and clubs. That said, there are 

plenty of hidden away basement bars with big comfy sofas,

 cool sounds and a definite lounge atmosphere ideal for 

whiling away the hours. Moscow never sleeps.
