Hello.... I am Scottish but living in England for many years and I am visiting Moscow for 1night on 1st Sept. and the full day and evening on Wednesday 2nd September then I travel to Georgia Tblisi for 2days for an International match before returning to Moscow on 5th September for my flight back to the UK..... I only have a short time in Moscow therefore can you please advise me (as I am travelling on my own)
any tips on my safety in Central Moscow during the day and also in the evening.
I am looking forward to seeing the Kremlin, Red Square St Basil Cathedral and possibilly the famous Moscow metro stations..... I am a keen photographer but due to several reports of muggings it is best for me just to take a pocket camera?.... I watched a BBC programme last night regarding the upsurge in Russian Nationalism and at the moment the documentary mentioned that there is a rise in anti-Western feeling with a few groups 'looking' for foreigners. I am a little apprehensive and would appreciate your comments as unfortunately when I was travelling on my own I was attacked in Brussels 2 years ago and ended up in hospital.... but I dont want to stop travelling as there are many good helpful friendly people in all Nations in the World.... Oh I am staying in Central Moscow about 500 metres from Red Square... should I try to get a local person to show me around etc for safety?
All replies suggestions are most welcome and greatly appreciated.... JIMMY
