About Moscow

With a population of 13 million Moscow is on the biggest cities of the world, and the capital of Russia. With a semester abroad in Moscow, you will have the time to experience all of the city’s hidden gems, but also see some of its major historical attractions such as the Red Square and St. Basil’s Cathedral.

“Moscow is a city of contrasts, where the bohemian and the glamorous merge in an idiosyncratic fusion - do not be surprised to find a golden-domed 16th century church next to an ultra-modern glass skyscraper.” (ArrivalGuides)
