Hi!!! Hope this is the right place to ask for this. I'm planning to visit moscow this december, to have a dreamy short girls winter trip. i pretty much like lived in, not luxurious but old and cozy vibes. i quite like ugly-ish weird architecture and i like lively streets. i like buying vintage books, clothes or like vintage stuff in general from the places i visit. i find the old imperial style quite romantic, and wouldnt mind doing super touristy stuff with my friends! like visiting old restaurants with ornaments, visiting an old sauna etc. other than that i'm quite interested in the soviet history and architecture. i like quirky and odd architecture a lot tbh, wouldn't mind seeing a matryoshka shaped buffet or something hehe. oh and also, i really like russian folklore tbh.

i really like walking a lot around the town and hang out in places locals visit. but i also like lonely hikings, mountains, long walks etc.

would love to hear your recommendations! for an idea: i think i'll be staying at the national hotel. it's quite nostalgic and has a melancholic feeling to it.

thank you in advance!
