Los Angeles to Moscow Fly from the heart of the western film industry to a place famed for exquisite ballet. Swap the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Universal Studios Hollywood, Rodeo Drive and the Dolby Theater for the Kremlin, St. Basil’s Cathedral, the Bolshoi Theatre and the Fallen Monument Park. Change star-studded restaurants and fast-food joints for traditional Russian eateries where you can savour fare like borscht, dumplings, pirozhki baked buns and the sweet doughnut-like ponchiki. Instead of sipping on fancy cocktails, try vodka and the fruity vodka-based nalivka. The climate is often considerably different in the two destinations, so pack accordingly. Whereas LA is usually warm or hot, Moscow can get very cold. While Moscow’s summers are often warm and sunny, winter regularly sees temperatures below freezing, snow and ice.
