| Russia is a Christian Orthodox country and we advise you to follow some of our recommendations when going to churches and cathedrals included in your tourist routes. Usually, when in church, men take off their hats, while women have to cover their heads. It is also important that women should not wear trousers when going to an Orthodox church. Many people in Moscow speak or understand English, so you can try asking a passersby (when looking for a street, restaurant or hotel) for directions. It would be better, of course, to ask your guide, a porter or a Russian friend, to write down the name of a place (In Russian) on a sheet of paper. You can then show it to a taxi-driver. |
