I walked nearly 15 miles every day just going around the city. That is not counting taking the train everywhere, and it is quite fast! A lot of people here do not drive and instead just use the trains and walk around. I love walking, so I am perfectly happy with it!
I have been to all of downtown Moscow, Red Square, and the Kremlin, and I visited a new store every day, so I have traveled quite a lot. I hope to continue doing this as long as I am here to share more interesting Russian stories with all of you!
The Metro (Метро) is the main way people get around in Moscow and it is very cheap! I use it every day and it only takes two minutes at the most for the train to get to the station. There are always lots of people on the train, so I usually do not get to sit down and when I do, I always make sure to let older people take my seat if I see them standing. It is okay, though. I am used to walking all day, so I do not mind standing for a few minutes!
