Tretyakovskaya is a magnificent gallery of Russian art (both in artists and subject matter). There are some fantastic paintings and sculptures dealing with several different parts of Russian, Ukrainian and Tatar cultures. A great way to spend an afternoon and enlighten yourself.

Metro to Tretyakovskaya and walk down Bolshiy Tolmachevskiy Per. Take your first right (towards the river) and you'll walk past the entrance

Russia is famous for its winter, so why not enjoy it? Ice-skating is the best way of doing this, there are numerous places around Moscow where you can take part.

I recommend Le Futur, which comes complete with orange ice and a clubbing soundtrack from Megapolis FM. And, of course, there's also skating at Gorky Park.

Check local guides for performances. The traditional Russian family treat. But bear in mind, this is not really a city for kids.
