Things to do in Moscow in May.

Tverskaya Ulitsa

Moscow sees a lot of grandeur and festivities all over the city during early May. If you wish to take in the real spirit of this festive week, head over to Moscow's main street, Tverskaya Ulitsa for the Moscow Street festival. This week of gaiety and splendour is celebrated between two public holidays namely May 1st / Labour Day and Victory day on May 9th with a grand military Victory day parade at the Red Square, accompanied with a special speech from the Russian president. All through this week, there are parades, Russian street parties, and fireworks, and is a time for nationwide revelry.

Muzeon Art Park

Directly across the street from Gorky Park's main entrance, the Muzeon Art Park houses several sculptures from the Soviet era and distinguished pieces of art. While spring is a great time to visit this place due to an overall pleasant climate, this place is a must visit for history lovers. This place is located at a five minute walk from the Oktyabrskaya metro station and is the largest open-air sculpture museum in Russia. The place offers some great photo opportunities and houses some very powerful, moving tributes to sufferings in the past.

Great for people watching and contemplating nature, this green area is situated in the historical centre of Moscow, with a number of restaurants, cafes, bars and trendy shops. Since locals frequent this place on weekends, it gets a tad overcrowded them. We recommend you to best visit this place during the weekdays for more calm and for a peaceful experience.
