Why trust tripsavvy.

TripSavvy / Chloe Jeong

A solid backpack is key to a successful trip. Think about it: You can use it as a carry-on, and if you pack light, it'll be the only piece of luggage you bring on a trip. It won't weigh you down as you rush to catch the inter-terminal train at the airport, and it'll look good on you as you stroll the streets of your destination. Find a good travel backpack, and it will serve you for years to come.

There’s a lot to consider when looking for a backpack to take you through all kinds of situations and environments. Waterproof, anti-theft, stylish, lightweight, wheels or no wheels—all things to keep in mind as you shop. To help you make the right choice, we tested 32 carry-on backpacks in our New York testing lab and in the real world. We tested for capacity, design, comfort, durability, and value.

Best Overall

Cotopaxi allpa 35l travel pack.

• Capacity 5 /5
• Design 5 /5
• Durability 5 /5
• Comfort 5 /5

Super durable material

Very comfortable with multiple carry methods

Lighter and more rugged than previous models

Nothing yet

Does the perfect travel backpack exist? We’re not sure, but we can’t think of one that comes closer than the Cotopaxi Allpa 35L. This second version of Cotopaxi’s best-selling backpack is rugged and comfy, has excellent organization capabilities, and is the perfect size to throw in an overhead bin, toss in a vehicle, and huff around from train to hostel.

The pack uses burly TPU-coated 1000-denier polyester and lightweight 840-denier ballistic nylon paneling. It has excellent weight distribution with comfy shoulder and sternum straps and hip belts, or stow the straps and carry the pack with side handles. The inside features multiple pockets of different sizes that we found perfect for separating clean and dirty clothes, electronics, and shoes. Bonus: It comes with a rainfly to protect it from the weather.

Capacity: 35 liters | Weight: 3 pounds, 8 ounces | Dimensions: 20 x 12 x 8 inches | Materials: TPU-coated 1000-denier polyester and 840-denier ballistic nylon

Best Overall, Runner-Up

Osprey fairview 40.

Quite spacious while remaining carry-on sized

Keeps belongings secure

Good padding and weight distribution

Osprey’s women-specific Fairview 40 pack impressed our tester with its size, space, and compartments. “This bag has a lot of compartments and a lot of straps to hold everything in place,” our tester reported. Despite the bag fitting a bit large, our tester said it was still very comfortable to wear. Osprey employs its proprietary Lightwire Frame Suspension, which helps spread the weight across the back panel and from the harness to the hip belt.

Despite being a 40-liter pack, it weighs just about 3 pounds, thanks to the lightweight nylon ripstop material and frame. “It did not hurt my back, and I like how most of the weight was shifted to my lower back,” our tester mentioned. Besides the fit, we also appreciated that all straps are stowable, making it easy in case you need to check the bag on a plane (which is possible on smaller planes with this larger-capacity pack). For the men’s version of the same pack, check out the Farpoint 40 .

Capacity: 38 liters (extra-small/small size) | Weight: 3 pounds, 1 ounce | Dimensions: 19.3 x 13.8 x 8 inches | Materials: 210-denier nylon mini hex diamond ripstop and 600-denier packcloth

Best Budget

Vancropak 40l travel backpack.

• Capacity 4 /5
• Design 3 /5
• Comfort 4 /5

Great for a short-to-medium-length trip

Could double as a business travel pack

Feature packed and user friendly

Lacks tech compartment

Cloth material could get dirty easily

This 40-liter pack checks all the boxes, including excellent value. Vancropak says it fits enough for trips between three and seven days, and we’d have to agree. “It fit everything even though I packed quickly and not thoughtfully or strategically,” our tester said. “It’s perfect for a weekend trip when you want to pack extra ‘just in case’ outfits or items. It even expands to provide more room. It has extra pockets, opens like a suitcase, has many different handles, and backpack straps that can be tucked and zipped away.” Compression straps also help shrink the bag back down after being packed.

And if you weren’t convinced yet of its value, it also includes packing cubes. “Its business-casual aesthetic makes it ideal for short business trips, too,” a tester added. One nitpick? There’s no laptop sleeve. But our testers thought the other features—and comfort—more than made up for that slight issue.

Capacity: 40 liters | Weight: 3.98 pounds | Dimensions: 20 x 13.7 x 6.2 inches | Materials: Water-resistant polyester

Asenlin 40L Travel Backpack

Functional straps

Multiple ways to carry

Not too weighty

Our tester didn’t love the style

If you didn’t dig the budget pack above, behold another excellent value travel pack. Like the Vancropak, the Asenlin Travel Backpack also includes three packing cubes. Our testers found they could easily fit everything needed for a weekend trip. They also liked the internal straps for organization and the external straps for compression. “It offers three different carrying methods, which is nice,” the testers reported. “It has a lot of different pockets and storage areas. The bottle holder on the side also unzips to expand, which is a thoughtful addition.”

Our testers liked how comfortable the bag was to wear and that it wasn’t overly heavy (the brand claims it weighs less than 3 pounds). We also believe this could double as a business travel bag.

Capacity: 40 liters | Weight: 2.7 pounds | Dimensions: 18.5 x 12.5 x 9.5 inches | Materials: Water-resistant polyester Oxford cloth

Best for Business Travel

Nomatic travel bag.

• Comfort 3 /5

Fits about a week’s worth of items

Loads of internal organization

Comes with an additional laundry bag

Uncomfortable to carry at times

Some scuff marks after tossing around

While we certainly love this bag's sleek and simplistic aesthetic, there’s a lot more to it than just looks. It’s durable and water-resistant and has multiple carry options (e.g., duffel and over the shoulders), a separate shoe compartment, lots of tech organization, and a TSA-ready laptop sleeve.

Our testers loved the capacity of this pack. “It easily fit everything on the list with plenty of room to spare,” one tester said. “I think everything you would need for up to a week away would fit easily.” The pronounced rectangular shape of the bag made it extra easy to pack and helped organize folded clothes. “The bag had two different shoe pockets, a laptop sleeve, and many other compartments for both smaller clothing items and even some work supplies,” a tester reported.

The one drawback of this pack was our testers didn’t find it the most comfortable. Specifically, the straps were stiff and dug into one tester’s neck. Overall, though, our testers were very pleased with the pack and thought it was worth the fit, especially for the design and ease of packing.

Capacity: 40 liters | Weight: 3.4 pounds | Dimensions: 19 x 21 x 14 inches | Materials: Not listed

Best Multi-use

Peak design travel backpack 45l.

• Value 4.5 /5

Excellent capacity

Easy to handle

Thoughtful storage solutions

This 45-liter travel pack from Peak Design debuted at the Outdoor Retailer Expo in 2018 and promptly won many awards. A few years later, it still holds up. Peak Design basically thought of everything when designing this pack. The outside features weatherproof recycled 400-denier nylon canvas and ultralight padded foam. It includes grab handles on each side, stowable hip belts, and a sternum strap. The inside has multiple pockets for organization and loads of room for trips of four days or longer.

Our testers loved the size and the zippers allowing access from four different sides of the bag. “It was super easy to pack, and there were just enough organization solutions to provide options for different packing strategies,” a tester said. “I also loved how many handles there were. A grab handle on all four main sides of the bag makes it super easy to maneuver, especially when putting it in the overhead compartment.”

Testers also liked the sheath built into the pack to stow the hip belt and the small pocket on the belt for stashing quick-grab items like lip balm, keys, or cards. They also enjoyed the water bottle pockets on both sides and the pack's comfort. Oh, and this pack is 100 percent carbon neutral. The only issue they saw was the price—it’s one of the most expensive on this list. But if you can look at this as an investment, the durability suggests it should last for many years. It's certainly carry-on luggage that any travel-savvy guy can appreciate.

Capacity: 45 liters | Weight: 4.5 pounds | Dimensions: 22 x 13 x 9.5 inches | Materials: Weatherproof 100 percent recycled 400-denier nylon canvas external shell and 900-denier waterproof bottom liner

Most Comfortable

Topo designs global travel bag 40l.

Excellent internal organization

Many different carrying options

Great for long travel days

Could be roomier

If your travel involves carrying your backpack for long periods, we recommend Topo Designs' Global Travel Bag. This super durable pack is also super comfortable with plush and padded shoulder straps and a hip belt. We also love that there are multiple ways to carry this pack with a comfy and padded sling. Its construction includes durable and recycled nylons with a canvas feel. And it meets Fair Wear certification standards, ensuring fair labor practices.

“There are a ton of compartments and pockets, so a lot of options for staying organized with small or loose items in the absence of packing cubes,” one tester said. “I could easily see places to stash cords, travel docs, electronics, water bottles, and more.”

While our testers liked a lot about this bag—including its durability—the comfort won them over. “All the features built into the bag suggest it's intended to create maximum comfort for someone who anticipates carrying the bag for a more extended period of time,” our tester concluded.

Capacity: 40 liters | Weight: 3 pounds, 10.4 ounces | Dimensions: 22.5 x 14 x 7.5 inches | Materials: 1000-denier recycled nylon, 400-denier recycled nylon, 210-denier recycled nylon, 1680-denier recycled ballistic nylon

Best Splurge

Bellroy transit backpack plus.

Flat opening made for easy packing

Comfortable to carry

Long lasting

Minimal internal organization

If you weren't convinced by our business travel pick above, consider this your alternative. This pack's sleek, durable, and comfortable design makes it ideal for business and formal travel. Our testers found it easy to fit enough items for up to three or four days away. Lighter packers could stretch this to five days. The inside is designed more like a typical carry-on pack with one large compartment.

“This bag felt super light on my back and was padded in all the right places,” a tester reported. “It has adjustable sternum and waist straps that you can tuck into the back of the pack when you don't want to use them, which is a genius feature.” Our testers were also impressed with the bag's durability, as it survived being tossed around our lab with zero marks or scuffs.

Capacity: 38 liters | Weight: 3.3 pounds | Dimensions: 21.7 x 15 x 9.4 inches | Materials: Recycled Dura nylon

Samsonite Silhouette 17 Backpack

• Design 4 /5
• Durability 4 /5

Suitcase-like opening allows easy access

Eco-friendly materials

Suitable for long travel days

Internal organization may be overcomplicated for some

Launched in 1958, Samsonite’s Silhouette collection is likely the oldest on our list. But those six decades of innovation have helped make this one of the best and most versatile bags out there—not to mention one with excellent style. You can also feel good about your purchase knowing that it features 100 percent post-consumer recycled PET bottles.

Our testers liked the size of the bag and the opening, similar to a suitcase, which made it easy to pack and access items. There were many—almost too many—pockets and compartments. And our testers loved how comfortable and supportive this bag was to carry, noting its excellent weight distribution. “I would recommend this bag to someone looking for a backpack they can use as a primary form of luggage,” a tester concluded. “It has enough room and compartments to fit all of the essentials and keep them organized. It's also comfortable, supportive, and easy to carry.”

Capacity: Not listed | Weight: 3.31 pounds | Dimensions: 20 x 12.5 x 7 inches | Materials: Polyester and Recyclex

Best for Techies

Thule subterra backpack 34l.

Functional and looks good

Bag included for dirty laundry

Portable charger

Not the most comfortable

We’ve been pleasantly surprised with Thule’s line of luggage. And that certainly includes the Subterra backpack. This rugged pack could also be a good commuter option as it has a magnetic rolling top closure, a padded laptop sleeve, and a PowerPocket for charging items on the go. We love that it has many access points and comes with a packing cube and garment bag for dirty clothes.

"I loved being able to put my normal packing cubes inside the big cube that comes with the bag, and I was able to use the bag as a day bag anytime I needed to carry extra, and it never felt super bulky,” a tester reported—however, they noted that the bag didn’t particularly help their already-sore back. Not surprisingly, considering its construction, the pack aced our durability tests.

Capacity: 34 liters | Weight: 2.75 pounds | Dimensions: 20.5 x 12.2 x 9.1 inches | Materials: 800-denier nylon

Best for Storage

Mystery ranch mission rover.

Sturdy with grab handles around the pack

Well-designed internal storage

Different ways to carry

A bit heavy

If you’ve never heard of Mystery Ranch, let us introduce you to the Bozeman, Montana-based brand, which makes super rugged packs for backpacking, hunting, the military, and firefighters. This travel-focused pack is incredibly solid on the outside and has many excellent organization and design features inside.

Highlights include a stowable hip belt and shoulder straps, multiple carrying options, a dirty clothes compartment, three inner divided pockets, and lockable zippers.

Capacity: 30, 45, and 60 liters | Weight: 4.3 pounds | Dimensions: 21 x 13 x 12 inches | Materials: Plain spun nylon, 210-denier nylon

We recommend the Cotopaxi Allpa 35L Travel Pack thanks to its incredibly durable polyester and nylon materials, well-designed internal storage, and included rainfly. Another great pick is the Vancropak Travel Backpack , which rings up at a fraction of the cost of some other options on the market.

We selected products to test based on the expertise of TripSavvy editors and writers and on internet research. Not surprisingly, TripSavvy editors and writers travel a lot. And they have many carry-on backpacks they like and don’t like.

To ensure we weren’t missing anything, we also researched what other prominent sites have featured and looked at top-rated and reviewed backpacks on sites like Amazon and REI. Once an initial list of products was selected, we narrowed it down to the final 28 for testing based on style, function, and price.

We tested the backpacks for capacity, design, comfort, durability, and value. In our New York City-based testing lab, we asked testers to pack each backpack with three shirts, two pants, one jacket, one pair of shoes, and a toiletry bag to test for capacity. We asked the testers to consider all aspects of the backpack’s construction, organizational capabilities, and any design innovations.

Testers then carried each backpack around using the different carrying styles. We asked the testers to rate how comfortable the bag felt fully packed. After the comfort test, we asked testers to toss and throw the bag several feet multiple times. We looked for damage on the outside of the bag and any damage to products inside the bag. Lastly, we asked testers to rate the bag for overall value after a price reveal.

We have since sent the backpacks to testers to continue testing as they travel. We will update this document accordingly as their insights are submitted.

Aer Travel Pack 3 : This pack was comfortable to wear thanks to its supportively firm and cushioned back, while its rugged fabric stood up well to rough handling. Our tester subtracted some points for capacity, as it was a squeeze to get everything on the list to fit, and for the more function-forward style.

Everlane The ReNew Transit Backpack : This bag is very nice to look at and proved quite durable. However, it's on the small side and the features aren't particularly travel-oriented—namely, the inflexible bottle holder and the magnetic flip top that is easily displaced when the pack is full.

Minaal Carry-on 3.0 Bag : Our tester appreciated the comfort of the straps and the practical capacity of this bag, though the price was on the higher end and the packing experience was a bit of a learning curve.

Monos Metro Backpack : Another looker, the design of this bag got high praise. We liked the 270-degree opening, the easy-release front pouch, and the comfortable straps. At 18 liters, this back is more of a complement piece to other luggage and could use a better weight distribution system.

Timbuk2 Never Check Expandable : The expansion feature was a hit once we figured out how to use it and the durability of this pack was undeniable. It was difficult to look past a faulty zipper design that got caught frequently when trying to close.

What to Look For in a Carry-on Backpack

Prices for carry-on backpacks vary widely, so consider what your greatest needs are. You can find a spacious travel backpack for under $100—often under $50—but if you plan on facing harsh outdoor environments , consider investing a bit more money for something waterproof. Leather backpacks can cost hundreds of dollars; keep this in mind if that material is important to you. Anti-theft travel backpacks can be a bit more expensive but are often essential in highly trafficked destinations.

There are so many styles out there you could spend days filtering through the different backpacks on the market. Keep it simple: How will you be using this backpack? If you’re interfacing with clients or business partners, look for something minimal and sleek that doesn’t showcase a million pockets. If you plan on living out of your backpack for most of your trip, pockets are more of a priority. You'll want a bag that zips open flat like a suitcase for easy packing and unloading (this also makes going through security easier).

If you are using your travel backpack for hiking, find something with a removable hip harness to distribute the weight of your pack better when you’re on the move. If you plan on wearing your travel backpack casually—only in the airport or to work—seek out a style with adjustable straps and a padded back. This will help ward off any back pain, especially if you carry a lot of weight. When you’re trying on backpacks, test out the shoulder straps and imagine how they would feel if the pack was filled to capacity. Is there ample padding? Will the material cut into your shoulders? Does the back of the backpack feel like it would be breathable?

The size of backpacks is generally measured in volume (liters) or dimensions (inches or centimeters). While it is essential to refer to the specific requirements of the airline you'll be flying, a good starting point for a carry-on when flying domestically is 22 x 14 x 9 inches or 45 total linear inches (115 centimeters) including all handles and wheels. This size comes out to a 43-liter pack, so anything smaller should easily meet any U.S. airline size restrictions. However, this is only the beginning, and several factors may increase or decrease your allowance, such as the size of the plane and flight class you book.

This will vary based on your backpack's materials. For nylon and other water-resistant fabrics, get a damp cloth and spot-clean your pack. A damp cloth will also do the trick if your bag has plastic or metal elements. For leather backpacks, you’ll want to purchase a special leather conditioner and cleaner to maintain the integrity of your backpack.

This is an excellent feature if you plan on hiking or spending long periods carrying your backpack. It will help distribute the weight of your pack better across your body, ultimately providing more comfort. Most backpacks that are focused on outdoor adventures will have this feature.

Many backpacks are marketed as anti-theft, meaning it’s tougher for someone else to get inside your pack. Some backpacks have zippers that allow you to open the main interior compartment while wearing it—so you don’t have to take it off and risk having someone else pick it up. Others are designed with webbing over the zipper openings, making it very hard for someone to locate and unzip the bag while you have it on.

No, this is not the norm when it comes to backpacks. Compression cords make packing easier and function the same way a compression strap or cord would work in a regular suitcase. Some travel-focused carry-on backpacks do have this built-in. But if you want to squeeze in more items, consider investing in some packing cubes . These will help organize your backpack, too.

Nathan Allen is TripSavvy’s Outdoor Gear Editor. He has traveled to five continents, including plane, train, and bus travel. For most travel scenarios, he prefers backpacks over spinners or roller suitcases because of their ruggedness and different carrying methods. He currently uses Cotopaxi’s Allpa 35L, Thule’s Subterra, and Topo Design’s Global Travel Pack the most. Each product recommended in this review was thoroughly researched and tested.

Comfort is key when you’re carrying everything on your back, and Peak Design has thought of everything . The ergonomic shoulder harness and hip belt are fully stowable, allowing you to streamline the pack when it’s not on your shoulders. Meanwhile, 360-degree handles give you a variety of carrying options, whether you’re slinging it over your shoulder, grabbing it by the side handle, or carrying it briefcase-style.

Additional features like stowable external straps, side pockets, interior pockets, hidden pockets, and quick-access pockets ensure that everything has its place. A padded laptop sleeve keeps your electronics safe, while the rugged exterior ensures that your gear is protected from impact. And, as with all Peak Design products, this backpack is Fair Trade Certified and 100% carbon neutral, so you can feel good about your purchase.

The Truth About Moscow

March 27, 2015 by Silvia 35 Comments

I’ve traveled to a lot of places I had barely heard of before going, often with no idea what to expect , but Moscow was not one of those places. Literature, history, films, current events – talk of Moscow is everywhere. Some people say it’s the best city in Russia, others say it lacks charm and is too overwhelming, and yet others say that it’s simply too dangerous to visit. So of course I was excited to finally visit Moscow and find out the truth.

The truth about Moscow is: sometimes it rains.

After weeks of beautiful sunny skies in Siberia, in Moscow we saw our first gray clouds. It’s amazing, and incredibly unfair, how much weather can affect your experience of a city. I really was impressed with Moscow and in awe of its many iconic sites, yet I struggled to see past all the grayness.

Then again, there was something thrilling about sludging through the misty weather and then looking up to a reminder that, oh right, I’m in MOSCOW!

While my excitement about Moscow stems mostly from an obsession with Russian literature, we were quickly reminded of the city’s political importance as we crossed the bridge where Boris Nemtsov had just been shot .

I had also wanted to visit Lenin’s Mausoleum (morbid, I know), but sadly it was closed. I guess he was due for another round of chemicals to preserve his lovely skin.

Instead we ventured into GUM, a very fancy department store along Red Square dating back to 1893. There we had one of my best meals in Russia, at Stolovaya № 57, a surprisingly cheap Soviet-style cafeteria hidden amidst GUM’s designer shops. If you’ve ever in Moscow, lunch here is a must!

We spent three nights in Moscow, and the clouds persisted into our second day. Luckily the rain didn’t get my spirits too down, because Moscow’s most impressive site is underground!

I’m talking about Moscow’s metro system of course. I love how luxurious the central stations feel, with their intricate molding, giant chandeliers, and beautiful paintings. But I also love how the stations farther from the city center eventually become less decadent and more Soviet.

I was nervous that Moscow would feel overwhelming after Siberia and impossible to navigate, but thanks to the guidance of our wonderful Couchsurfing host Drew, the city felt totally manageable.

Drew is from Connecticut, so it was really interesting to hear an American expat’s take on life in Moscow (he’s learned to avoid vodka and talking about politics). He also took us to a viewpoint of the city near Vorobyovy Gory which ended up being one of my favorite places we visited in Moscow. Well, the view was awful because of all the clouds, but then we walked through an old ski park, down a ski jump!

As a Norwegian I’ve of course spent far too much time watching ski jump competitions on TV, but somehow I never realized that the jumps are quite so high. What are those athletes thinking?!

Finally, on our third day in Moscow the sun came out!

We spent most of the day at Tsaritsyno Park, an estate dating back to the 16th century which was eventually bought by Catherine the Great in 1775, who planned to have a palace built there. She died before construction was finished, so she never actually lived there, but visitors can see a newly restored version of the palace, including a few rooms as they would have been designed.

Tickets purchased at the park’s museum allow visitors to see the inside of the palace, but as it’s newly restored and never actually was a completed palace, I found the inside a little boring. Plus, it’s a museum . The grounds are beautiful, however, and I’d definitely recommend a trip out there if you have some extra time in Moscow!

Have you been to Moscow yet?

<3 the stolovaya – it's like the best of a normal stolovaya without being super sketchy haha

Glad you seemed to enjoy Moscow but yeah, if the grey skies bother you, don't live there! The first year I lived there I went 87 days without seeing the sun once. (And then I only saw it in a town outside of Moscow.)

It was definitely the fanciest stolovaya I went to in Russia – and probably my tastiest meal!

While in Moscow I started daydreaming about moving there, but 87 days without sun?! Wow, that’s rough.

I’m so jealous you went to Moscow! It’s on my bucket list, but like you said, I think of it as a harder city to navigate and manage. Good to hear that you enjoyed it! And I definitely want to see that ski jump!

March 29, 2015 at 9:15 pm

Moscow was so much easier to travel through than I had thought – you should definitely go!

I visited Moscow last year and saw nothing but sunny blue skies. I think I was lucky since the weather in Moscow is always grey. And thanks for the tip for the Tsaritsyno park. I thought I had seen it all, but now I have a reason to come back someday.

March 29, 2015 at 9:16 pm

Ahh so jealous you got to see Moscow in the sun! I need to go back for my chance 🙂

I have not yet visited Moscow, but after this post I’m pretty sure it’s a city I could have a torrid love affair with. From its colourful architecture to its imperial interior, I am dying to visit! Though, I hope it doesn’t rain!

March 29, 2015 at 9:17 pm

Even in the rain Moscow couldn’t disappoint! It’s definitely one of those places that feels really surreal to see in real life!

Noooo! I can’t believe you didn’t get to see Lenin’s body! That would have been at the top of my list too. I stood in line for over an hour to see Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam. I don’t know why I’m so fascinated by things like this…

March 29, 2015 at 9:19 pm

I feel a little silly how disappointed I was to miss Lenin’s body, haha. I’ll just have to go back to Moscow!

March 28, 2015 at 11:27 am

How did you manage to snap a photo of the undergrounds without people?! I tried so many times but it was impossible! Love your photos. Moscow might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I think everyone will agree the architecture is something to truly behold!!

March 29, 2015 at 9:20 pm

Haha I only managed to get an empty photo at one of the less central stations, immediately after a train pulled in. Maybe next time we need to do a late night tour?

I have heard several times about the beautiful metro stations in Moscow. They look stunning!

March 29, 2015 at 9:21 pm

Moscow’s metro stations are unreal they’re so fancy! I wish all stations were like that.

March 29, 2015 at 3:42 am

So much amazing architecture! The word luxurious is very appropriate…or perhaps elegant? I love all of it. Haven’t been to Moscow and still have very few opinions about it myself! Would love to visit.

Yes, Moscow really is elegant! I definitely need to go back again to explore more of it!

I did see Lenin in Moscow. The room is quite low lit, you aren’t permitted to stop walking and there is no talking. What surprised me most was how short he was.

April 2, 2015 at 9:24 am

I’ve thought that in wax museums too – I don’t know why I always imagine celebrities and politicians to be taller than they really are!

March 30, 2015 at 10:15 pm

Awesome pics! Lovely read 🙂

April 2, 2015 at 9:25 am

Thanks, Alli!

I know what you mean about the rain…constant showers all but ruined my time in Hoi An last week.

All rain aside, Moscow looks beautiful.

April 6, 2015 at 9:31 am

Right? Ughh rain is the worst!

April 1, 2015 at 9:46 pm

Holy cow, those are the metro stations?! That’s SO nice and elegant for a public space. Those shots of the flowers for Boris Nemtsov are really moving, especially the one with the Kremlin in the background. Wow. Moscow is really intriguing.

April 6, 2015 at 10:04 am

It was really crazy walking across the bridge and seeing all the flowers for Nemtsov. Ahhh Russia, why are your politics so insane?

I haven’t been yet but am finding your Russian travels positively enthralling! My husband and I are UK-bound in June & had this very tempting opportunity to do a stop-over in Moscow. However, upon reading about the sketchy airline we’d have to take, we decided against.

April 6, 2015 at 10:11 am

Oh no, you will have to find another chance to stop in Russia then!

April 5, 2015 at 6:02 am

WOW! LOVE ALL YOUR PHOTOS. ITS MAKES ME WANT TO VISIT MOSCOW AND I’M ALSO A FAN OF RUSSIAN LITERATURE! 🙂

April 6, 2015 at 10:06 am

Thanks! If you love Russian literature then you definitely need to visit Russia!!

April 5, 2015 at 4:00 pm

Hi Silvia, I’m new to your blog (found it through Upasna!) and I love it, especially your gorgeous photography!! These are seriously the prettiest pictures of Moscow I’ve seen and makes me want to visit. Moscow looks gorgeous even with the gray skies! I’m looking forward to more!

April 6, 2015 at 10:07 am

Wow, I’m so glad you like the pictures! Moscow really is gorgeous – definitely worth a visit! Anyway, so happy you found my blog 🙂

April 5, 2016 at 3:24 pm

Hello Silvia! It was a pleasure to read your travel story about my city! I keep inviting my friends to visit me during summer (it is almost always sunny!♥) or during New Year and Christmas vacations period, but still waiting 🙁 Glad to know you enjoyed your stay there! Myself I’ve never been at Stolovaya diner, I was always under the impression it has to be expensive because GUM is very expensive itself! Now I want to explore their menu~ Have you tried GUM famous ice cream in waffle cup?

April 11, 2016 at 8:29 pm

Oh you have to go to the diner! I can’t believe your friends haven’t visited yet – they are seriously missing out. Like I did missing the ice cream in the waffle cup. Next time!

I was just in Moscow for 4 days this past New Year’s. I really enjoyed seeing it in the winter. Although cold, it felt like the right time–especially with the Christmas market shops on Red Square, which added to the magic and awe. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see the fireworks in Red Square for New Year’s because the square was closed for security reasons, but I did get to see Lenin’s tomb on the last day. I agree with the other poster–I was surprised how short he was. I too enjoyed my trip and am glad I got to see a city I’ve been curious about for a long time.

January 6, 2018 at 3:15 am

I went there this Dec 2017. It was winter Russia and i really enjoyed Moscow
