What should I pack when moving to Moscow?
We asked people living in Moscow to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Moscow, it is important to pack warm clothing, as temperatures can drop to below freezing in the winter months. It is also important to bring a good pair of walking shoes, as Moscow is a very walkable city. Additionally, it is a good idea to bring a few items to make your new home feel more comfortable, such as pictures, books, and other personal items. Finally, it is important to bring any necessary documents, such as a passport, visa, and other important paperwork," remarked another expat in Moscow, Russia.
"You can pretty much get everything in Moscow now (although some basic things are still ridiculously expensive!), but I would take Marmite and Pimm's. We left most things at home due to customs as we didn't want any hassle when leaving the country in terms of additional paperwork," said a member in Moscow, Russia.
