Moscow truly needs to introduction, as a hugely powerful, modern-day capital city. With so much to see and do across land which stretches far and wide, inhabited by cultures so diverse, it makes sense that corporate Moscow apartments are in demand as they are.

Moscow is the capital city of the Russian Federation, the administrative centre of the Central Federal District and the centre of the Moscow region. Moscow is the largest city in the European part of the Russian Federation, home to over 12 million citizens. This 850-year-old city on the banks of river Moscow is noticeably marked by centuries of administrative and business activity.
Nowadays, Moscow is the gravity centre of the region and is surrounded by numerous satellite-towns. The city itself covers 3000 square kilometres, of which only 900 square kilometres is actually within the main ring road. It attracts hundreds of business visitors, qualified specialists and temporary residents in their majority. Right at the centre of Moscow though is the Red Square, which is known to be the symbolic heart of Russia. Once in Moscow, be aware of its size and traffic. Renting a car and driving around is to be regarded as an extreme sport and should be left to locals. Public transport is your best choice for getting around. Buses and underground are reliable but can be pricy. Avoid paying on board for one ride, get a pass from PrimePass instead because the savings are massive.
Moscow is a thriving financial and business centre for many modern industries. The largest trade shows for IT and communications, development and mining, finance and machine-building attract the leaders of all industries in Europe and Asia. The infrastructure allows hosting such tradeshows on a regular basis. Expats in Moscow can create new connections and showcase their business success at MosBuild, SamExpo, MITT and other annual tradeshows relevant to their industry.
Moscow’s government understands the importance of a favourable investment climate and offers generous support for new and well-established businesses alike. Numerous opportunities for small businesses and start-ups go hand in hand with fierce competition. Therefore, having local knowledge and an awareness of changes will be valuable for newly established businesses. An equally important aspect of the relocating process is ensuring the accommodation corporates stay in is right. That’s why it’s no surprise so many corporate Moscow apartments are available in the city, ensuring business travellers always have somewhere to stay.
Corporates can expect to have plenty to see and do right on the doorstep of their serviced apartment in Moscow. Guided tours cover the city’s main monuments, iconic figures, arts centres and of course the Kremlin, with its Armories and the Diamond Fund. These will drain your wallet, but the long-lasting impressions are well worth it. Besides, most museums are free to visit every third Sunday of the month.
Admirers of modern art will appreciate the Mars Centre in Pushkarev close or the Museum of Modern Art. Include The Space Museum into your program, as it will unveil some extraordinary stories behind the scenes of this cut-throat rivalry between the two superpowers of the 20th century. Daring travellers should try a day of dog sledge riding with Sever Dog Kennel. Cuddle with the dogs – all very friendly and sociable, then help prepare your sledge and go for a ride in the snow-covered forest.
A spa day at the Chayka sports complex in the Moscow city centre is highly recommended. Various kinds of saunas (you’ll be surprised how many there actually are) and cascade showers of all temperatures, ice-cold baths, a salt cave and other treats will keep you entertained all day. Shopping in Moscow is to be done with extra care though. The main shopping centre, GUM, displays the world’s best high-end brands but is massively overpriced. Reasonable shopping is best at malls like Mega and Stockmann – located within walking distance of the ring road, which is also easily accessible by bus.
Ultimately, Moscow is one of those cities that never sleep. There’s so much to see, but nevertheless, event guests in Moscow short term apartments can expect to really enjoy their stay too.
