There are a lot of good things about Moscow, but the Russian mafia and its violent behavior make it a "dangerous" place to visit! There are very few places that I won't go, but until things change, Moscow is not on my list.

Great restaurants, nightlife and touristy things plus one of the worlds best (and cheapest) public transportation systems. However, if you don't speak any Russian or at least can't learn to negotiate the cyrillic alphabet for place names it could be rough to get around. But certainly one of the more fun cities to go to for a short time. It's kind of like taking New York and adding in Las Vegas.
