What to do in moscow at night

If the best things in life are truly liberating, then you’ll enjoy a free night stroll through the Red Square. Although visiting the Red Square in the daytime is great, you’ll find that the experience at night is completely different. You’ll see that these landmarks and buildings are so lucent, as the night lights touch their structures.

NThe Bolshoi Theatre is a symbolic space that upholds Russia’s performing arts scene. You may see ballet performances such as Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, the Nutcracker, Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet and Adam’s Giselle. It is also a home to the classic Russian opera and orchestral music performances.

As most of the shows are held during the evenings, you cannot miss an opportunity to admire the theatre’s sheer grandeur through its neoclassical architecture, outstanding performances of ballerinas and opera singers, and the massive scale and creativity of its productions.

It is worth paying a visit to the theatre even if you are not a big fan of spectacles – you are guaranteed to be fascinated by the neo-classical building from the inside!

TIP: If you go to an opera performance, check if they have English subtitles in advance on the website.

Wonder how some of Moscow’s elite spend their night out? Then delve into the glitz and glamour at an upscale nightclub called SOHO Rooms. Located at an embankment outside the city centre, dropping by SOHO Rooms is a good opportunity to escape from the bustling city. It features a multi-floor space with a restaurant, bar, and disco room, which has one of the best cutting edge sound and light systems. Although the dress code is casual (except sports shoes and wear), most of the attendees there are dressed to the nines for a great reason - the bouncers are your ticket inside, so all you need is to glam up, pass off as one of Moscow’s important elites, and get past face control.

If clubbing isn’t your piece of cake, then you can enjoy a quiet and long stroll around Gorky Park. During the evenings, when there are no open concerts, festivals or fun fairs, the atmosphere in Gorky Park is tranquil and dazzling.

There is also Muzeon Art Park, a dynamic contemporary space with a younger vibe. It is perfectly landscaped for a comfortable stay. Muzeon has a unique collection of 700 sculptures, so do not miss it when you’re in the park! It is located right in front of Gorky Park. Both are amazing!

Some of the famous, greatest classical and Romantic music composers such as the “Mighty Five” and Peter Tchaikovsky hailed from this great nation. Russians of today still continued a great tradition of bringing out the most refined musical performances of pieces by these composers. Whether it’s the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall or Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory’s stage, listening and watching any of the performance is a once in a lifetime experience.

If you’re taking a breather from strolling around the city, head up to City Space Bar & Restaurant to admire Moscow’s city layout. It is situated on the 34th floor of Swissotel Krasnye Holmy Moscow, and offers a 360-degree view of the city. People have acclaimed its delicious signature cocktails and Japanese cuisine.

Moscow has a pretty lively theater circuit. You might check to see which shows are playing. It could be fun, even without knowledge of the language, to see a popular theater production - especially a musical - performed in Russian.

Take a Moscow river taxi cruise, it is a great way to see many of the most notable sights in the city, from a completely different perspective.

Moscow in the daylight is certainly beautiful. But as night falls, Moscovites and adventurous tourists are seeking pleasure at this enchanting city. So don’t lock yourself up in your room. Go out and discover what Moscow has to offer to fulfill your desires.
