Top Instagram and selfie spots in celebratory Moscow
Pose with Polar Bears
The Journey into Christmas epicenter is Tverskaya Ulitsa, which makes this street an ideal place to start snapping those selfies. Head past the Pushkin statue, through the glittering arch, turn right and you’ll see a chalet home to a polar bear family. Nothing says Christmas like a cute animal in a Santa hat.
Walk into the light
If polar bears are too saccharine for you, head across the street to Tverskoi Bulvar and you’ll find the dazzling purple, pink, and orange Light Tunnel. This one is particularly popular so prepare yourself for a little jostling as you strike a pose.
Be dazzled by Café Pushkin
If you’re walking through the Light Tunnel, make sure to emerge for a moment and look across the street to that famous Moscow institution: Café Pushkin. The eighteenth-century mansion is decked in glittering blue lights from roof to pavement with a picturesque Christmas tree propped in the main second floor window.
