Is Moscow really as great of a city as Russians claim it is? Better than any European city?

I am talking purely travel, no politics please.

It's good if you're Muslim

As a follower of the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), I have never felt so welcome.
>>
>>2889132
It's a city of 13 million. So yes, Moscow is a megacity. There is always the chance of politics landing on your head at some point during your visit. Ukraine drone-struck an intercity passenger train recently.
>>2889137
Africans too. They are very welcome in Moscow.
>>
>>2889165
Afaik Moscow is fairly harmless as far as big diverse cities go, 80%+ of the population still seem to be Russian.

Russia is a multicultural and multiethnic nation of all race and takes tons of immigrants. Russia is more akin to Brazil or the USA than Europe. So when you see an Islamic ethnic Uzbek or a Chechen praying at a mosque in Moscow, you should be aware those are Russian people.
>>
>>2889132
How does Moscow compare to St. Petersburg when it comes museums?
>>
>>2889552
>museums?
Really nigga?

I had a blast in Moscow, 1 of my all time favorite trips. It was awfully long ago though. Before Putin and his retarded war.
Russian people are arrogant and none of them speak English. That's just something to remember.

I’m into history and always enjoy visiting museums. Not sure why you’re being judgemental

>Is Moscow really as great of a city as Russians claim it is? Better than any European city?
in what terms??
retarded question

it's a proper megacity and metropolis
it has all the amenities you expect
but other than Architecture it is pretty underwhelming for it's size

suburbs also look pretty shitty
very comparable to Chinese ones
inner city is beautiful though and worth a visit

>>2889552
>How does Moscow compare to St. Petersburg when it comes museums?
they're both shit

Museums are only as good as their curators
>permanent collections are usually too small to be interesting
>museums lend out stuff constantly
>in return they receive interesting stuff from other museums
>a good curator trades up and maximizes the lend out value of the local collections
literally no museum in Europe nor the US does this with Russia anymore
so all their international art museums are shit now

something like the State Tretyakov Gallery is still good obviously, as their own collection of Russia painters is large enough
also
doesn't apply to local historic museums of course
if you meant those
>>
>>2889132
Too much bydlo but that’s Russia in general. It’s nice if you tryna to lay some pipe.
>>
>>2889132
Well they beat up faggots in the streets and jail the for being faggots so I'd say yes.
>>
I've never met a single Russian person that I've ever liked. They're humorless, grumpy and boring. They're also dishonest and scammy. A Russian millionaire would steal $5 from your wallet when you weren't looking. The food is as bad as people say. The weather is terrible. And there's nothing to see in any Russian city that's better than anywhere else in Europe. The violent crime is also really bad compared to the rest of Europe. But Red Square is fun for about 30 minutes.

Kinda disappointing but makes sense. I would like to hike the Caucasus Mountains I dunno if that's Russia proper.

>>2890082

complete and utter bullshit. despite the churkas in Moscow, Paris and London are 10x worse in this regard

>food is as bad as people say
Russian national cuisine isnt good, but the restaurant scene in Moscow is amazing
>>
>>2890082
>food
I enjoy it. It tends to filter non-whites.
>lots of dairy
>heavy on pork
>pickles, potatoes, and beetroot
Also, they get god-tier Georgian restaurants. It's a shame good Georgian food is so hard to find outside of the region.
>>
>>2890087
I've never met a single Russian person that i didn't like. They're funny, friendly and interesting. They're also honest and giving. A Russian homeless would give $5 from his wallet when you weren't looking. The food is as good as people say. The weather is terrible. And there's lots to see in any Russian city that's better than anywhere else in Europe. The violent crime is also nonexistent compared to the rest of Europe. Red Square is amazing.

Russia does suck. Also the entire internet is replete with Russian bots and shills. They rival Eglin and the 77th on 4chan in terms of size. I've noticed they promote anti-white decolonization and SJW propaganda on every platform and then larp as a "trad euro" country (despite being a multicultural nation) to pander to magatards.

It's the Brazil of Asia. Vast wild areas, plentiful natural resources, but much less prosperous than they should be because of their social problems.

I found it interesting enough for a short stay, but nothing to set it above other european capitals I've visited. The people were generally very surly, but it was winter at the time, very cold and dark.
The traffic smog in some areas was pretty nasty too.

Compared to every other part of Russia, I guess so. There is really not a whole lot in that country but farms and petty crime.

no, look here

it really depends on where you go

According to the United Nations, Moscow is the best city in the world and honestly what other city even comes close?
>>
>>2890257
You're lying or very uninformed. A lot of the Russian countryside is dangerous. People outside of the cities are shockingly poor and alcoholism is rampant. Poor+drunk= trouble, no matter where you go in the world. Moscow is notorious for serious violent crime and the government hides it. Paris and London may have more violent crime than Moscow, but that's not saying much. Unlike Russia, the French countryside is great. There's not a single reason I can think of for someone to go to Russia over any of the infinitely better destinations in Europe.
>>
>>2890777
Cry all you want, no one is going to Russia for a village they are going for world class cites, safe and clean and free of head chopper diversity you find in every western European city over 10,000. Western Europe is done, Russia is the now and future

There were just as many immigrants in Paris in 1966 as today. This is what happens when you get all your information about the world outside your basement from the virgin neets of /pol/.

The last major European capital to actually be White. Over 90%

lol

Istanbul, Baku, Mexico city all whiter than Paris, Brussels, London or Berlin. Moscow is a white paradise, last on earth outside Poland
>>
Moscow mogs the rest of Europe by offering a fascinating blend of towering Soviet architecture, massive royal fortresses, and a vibrant, hyper-modern mega-city vibe. It tends to be cleaner and more technologically advanced than many Western European capitals, but features unique cultural and political barriers.
>>
>>2891057
In 1966, the majority of foreign-born Parisians were from neighboring European countries. Today's immigrant population is much more globally diverse, with the largest shares originating from African and Asian nations.
>>
>>2891063
>Moscow is home to an estimated 2 to 3 million Muslims, making it the city with the largest Muslim population in Europe.

>This demographic is a mix of long-standing native Russian citizens from historical Islamic regions and a large influx of migrant workers from Central Asia.The Muslim community in Moscow accounts for roughly 15% to 20% of the greater metropolitan area's population. However, the exact figures fluctuate due to the transient nature of migrant labor.

Is that why Moscow is the safest city in Europe?

Sure it is.

Thanks KremlGPT

>>2891058
It’s definitely whiter than London but also definitely below 90%. Muslims alone are ~15% and there are also other types of foreigners now

>>2891089
Safety has little to do with population, it’s about how well a city is policed. Dubai is 70% brown rabble and still very safe
>>
>>2891105
The Western shitholes of Germany, France and the UK import the most retarded and violent people from around the world to terrorize and exterminate their own native population. Thats why places like Turkey, Albania and Russia are so safe.

>redpill me on how drunk rural russians get
nta, alcoholism is one of the main reasons russias life expectancy is in the bottom three of Europe, and as the other anon said rural russians are hit the hardest, particularly in the north and far east republics, because what are you going to do there, no perspectives and the only way to escape being vodka
Russia's alcohol consumption per capita may seem lower than other euro states but the average is lowered by two things, first, there are a shitload of muslims in Russia (their oblasts rank unsurprisingly the "driest" out of all) and secondly, Russia has a very prolific counterfeit alcohol industry and the attempts to curb alcoholism by rising prices only helped it grow further, reaching 30%-50% of all alcohol sales.
This isn't some quality moonshine made by a gramps in his shed but full scale production from industrial spirits so methanol poisoning cases are plentiful, reaching dozens of dead in the more spectacular cases (like picrel), so you better wary of that homemade stuff that looks like a good idea on the farmers market

Another thing is the differences in drinking in rural Russia, "Zapoy" specifically, which is multiple day/weeks long binge drinking, the sort of which make you miss whole weeks out of your memory afterwards, the bad side of this is very high alcohol psychosis numbers and the resulting crime, up to absurd shit like cannibalism
>Why did you eat his heart?
>Don't know, ask the drunk me
An actual quote of a dude that killed a drinking buddy, prepared and ate his heart on camera
This is why a solid tip regarding travelling in Russia (and everywhere else in general but especially Russia) is "Don't drink with people you don't know well" because almost 3 out of every 4 murders there are related to drunk altercations
>>
>>2890783
>>2894240
To add something funny, there was a case in the Russian far east where 3 retards broke into a military warehouse, stole 30kg of explosives and started EATING them, thinking they were sausages (to be fair explosives can look similar to an illiterate dumbass)
Obviously they got ill pretty quickly but their first thought was
>the vodka must be bad
Only when the stray dog that got scraps also fell ill they connected the dots and wisely decided to sell it some granny as food kek
>>
>Is Moscow really as great of a city as everyone says it is?

Yes

> Better than any European city?

Much better
>>
>>2894256
Better for whom? Certainly not the average local that lives in Moscow.
>>
>>2894322
Why are you so certain?

>>2894339
>Why are you so certain?
I've spent enough time in both Moscow and Copenhagen to know (for certain) that the average Russian in Moscow lives like a dog compared to the average Dane

this

>>2891256
This site is completely compromised. On some boards you get instabanned for saying anything bad about Russians. We need to be aware of the fact the Jews and Russians are one and the same. Cancers upon this earth
>>
Reminder that Russia is a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic nation with about 1/3 being a mongol or muslim where anti-semitism is illegal and headed to be minority slav in a couple decades. Russia is one of the most anti-white nations on this planet, and pretends to be European to cater towards Trumptards and turn them against white people.

When it's the one good city the country has, and everything else is either a post Soviet ghetto shithole or a 19th century farm, it becomes comparatively overblown.
