Bright red double-decker tour buses are prowling Moscow’s streets, giving visitors a great view of the city centre. The Hop On-Hop Off tour offers excursions around town in twelve languages, and guests can buy a 2-day ticket and jump on and off the buses as often as they like, in theory using any stop on either of the two routes. In practice, it’s usually easiest to gather at the main stops near the Pushkin Fine Arts Museum, the Tretyakov Gallery or the Bolshoi Theatre – this is where buses tend to wait longest. The shorter "red route" takes just over an hour and circles the city centre, staying close to the Kremlin walls and taking in a stretch of the leafy Boulevard Ring while the longer "green route" also goes over the river for views of two of the Stalin-era Seven Sister skyscrapers. Both tours include the "greatest hits" of Moscow’s unique and unforgettable city centre, with its distinctive architecture, intriguing museums and exciting cultural life. Buses usually run at 20-minute intervals, depending on the traffic situation.
