We have had a few days of getting around Moscow on foot and by Metro. What is it like? Well the Russian alphabet (see below) does add some extra challenges.
The top pix is a 'simple' road sign. The second is an example of Metro interchange info board. A great deal of extra vigilance is necessary! The lines are colour coded and numbered - fortunately the friendly 0 to 9 numbers. But we found identifying stations and line directions difficult.
We did get lost on our first day out, and walked a long way in the rain. We were very thankful for our travel umbrellas that received a good work out in Moscow.
How many times did you get lost????
