Moscow weather reviews
FADINA ANNA,
January 2024
For the New Year holidays, I decided to visit Moscow, I myself am from Kazakhstan. The weather in Moscow was frosty, it reached minus 25 degrees, but this did not become an obstacle for me. I was delighted by the climb to the 89th floor of Moscow City. Winter only strengthened my impression of a beautiful city, from such a height! It started snowing and everything looked like in a fairy tale. Snowflakes were circling in the multi-colored lights of the city. Then I went to Red Square, it got warmer outside, the fine snow gave way to large flakes. A huge plus of this city, its beauty. I didn’t have time to visit all the sights, because the weekend was short, but I will definitely return there next New Year. The frosty weather did not stop me from having a great time in the capital of Russia
