VDNKh (ВДНХ), officially the Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy or the All-Russia Exhibition Centre, is a place you should definitely dedicate an entire day to if you visit Moscow. Located in the northeastern side of Moscow, VDNKh is like an entire city in itself, filled with exhibitions, museums, restaurants, canteens and gardens. It was built during the Stalinist period to highlight the different aspects of the Soviet economy and the cultural diversity of the different republics. You can get here by metro, just take the train to the VDNKh metro station, and it would take less than 30 minutes from the city centre.Once you are there, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. The place is massive and you should not expect to see everything. You should definitely head to the information centre and get a map first, as it would be so helpful in helping you navigate around the giant complex. After that you should decide on which areas to focus on.After the main entrance you can see the pavilions of the different former Soviet states such as Kazakhstan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. Entry to these pavilions is free and you should definitely check them out to get a glimpse into these exotic lands, and it might even fuel your desire for your next travel adventure.Walk further down and you can see a canteen where you can savour food from all different parts of Russia. Remember, while Moscow is the capital, Russia is the world’s largest country with landscapes and cultures that are very varied. Personally I really liked the cuisine from the Caucasus region. After that, for people interested in science and technology, there are exhibitions (ticket required) about subjects like nuclear power, agriculture, aviation, etc. There is really a lot to check out and this is a place a recommend everyone to go, and I would love to go again.#russia #moscow #россия
