Rough Guide: Moscow

This book gives ou a nice overview of the region, and incredible specific tips for visiting Moscow.

Better than Fodor's

Rough Guide's book on Moscow is by far one of the best tour books I have seen for that city. Recently we had the chance to live in Moscow for two months. This book, along with the Rough Guides Russian phrase book, were our constant companions. The Moscow book was essential for giving us really indepth information about most of the sites we went to see. Also, the history section was invaluable to us as we found it necessary to do a little homeschooling of our children while there. I still refer to the history section of the Moscow book to refresh my memory on the complicated story of Russian history. We also had Fodor's along with us but found that we relied much more on Rough Guides as a source of important and reliable information. Rough Guides is a must if you visit Moscow.

Excellent guide book; necessary for all visitors to Moscow

No one book has more information than this one, and it's simply the best all-in-one traveling companion available. But it isn't perfect. Personal anecdotes and incidents sometimes seem amateurish, and Moscow changes so quickly that some of them are now quaintly outdated. The maps are minimal to the point of being useless; the best maps are in "Great Moscow", "Three Days in Moscow" (if you can tolerate the outdated street names), or one of the building-by-building atlases now available (all of these are published and available only in Russia). Finally, the level of detail is so great that some errors inevitably crept in, and hopefully they will be corrected in the next edition.

Best Travel Guide to Moscow

If you go to Moscow, buy this book. It singlehandedly guided me through my trip. Excellent guide to the sites as well as a fantastic short history of Russia at the end. The only problem with the book was its lack of reasonably priced restaraunts, but then agian, I'm not sure if they exist in Moscow. PS I highly recommend anyone taking a trip to Moscow
