To celebrate Barbie ’s 65th anniversary, Keds has collaborated with Mattel on a capsule collection inspired by the iconic doll.

The highly anticipated partnership marries two American brands into four footwear silhouettes. Each style meshes Keds’ signature silhouettes with colorways and detailing inspired by Barbie’s most iconic looks throughout the years. The collaboration features four platform silhouettes that include the footwear brand’s newest style, the Keds Point. Every set brings height to a look with a platform sole that is about 1 inch tall.

The star piece of the collection is the Keds Point Striped Canvas sneaker, which is dressed in a canvas upper that mimicked the pattern of the swimsuit Barbie debuted in 1959. Ked’s design director Lindsay Kotlarchyk shared the first design was created to pay homage to both of the brand’s heritage.

“The bold black and white of the chevron pattern lent itself well to our newest silhouette — The Keds Point — a modern iteration of one of our archive shoes from the same era as the original Barbie,” Kotlarchyk explained. The set was completed by a lace-up closure. Another pair of lace-up sneakers was added to the collection, this one differentiating itself with an iridescent gold upper. 

The third piece of the collection is Keds Triple Up. Inspired by the Barbiecore trend, the low-top set is dressed in bright pink metallic leather with pink laces that match the branding against the heel tab and tongue. A removable golden “B” lace keeper completes the first three pieces.

Lastly, the Keds Mary Jane takes on a neon pink canvas upper that features a contrasting look coming from the white toe cap, platform sole and Barbie signature on the side panel. The vibrant set was completed by a golden “B” charm against the velcro strap.

Each piece from the Barbie x Keds collection will retail for $90. The collaboration will be released on May 9 online and in select retailers.

Journey to Moscow

   Welcome to Moscow - the capital of Russia, its political, scientific, historical, architectural and business centre, from which power and might of the Russian state developed.

“As a runner, all you need is a pair of shoes. Shoes are a safety thing. So important for your livelihood,” said professional runner Hellah Sidibe ahead of the 37th annual 2024 Big Sur International Marathon in Carmel, California, held on April 24, during a speech about his runners’ journey. “Someone is gonna smile now that they have a pair of shoes,” he continued.

To Sidibe, shoes are not just a fashion statement but a safety necessity crucial for his livelihood. Sidibe's words reflect the symbiotic relationship between function and style in athleisure and sportswear. While runners prioritize performance and comfort, they also embrace fashion trends that reflect their active lifestyle. Sidibe's speech highlighted the transformative power of running, where the simple act of lacing up a pair of shoes can bring joy and empowerment into someone's life.

Hailing from Mali and now based in the New England area, Sadibe’s journey exemplifies the intersection of athleticism and fashion, where practicality meets personal expression on the track or the streets. For Hellah Sidibe, every day marks a new beginning in his journey as a runner, transitioning from a professional soccer athlete. “On Day 163,” he illustrated in his speech a venture that would redefine his relationship with running, showcasing his dedication, perseverance, and passion for the sport.

His running journey, now over 2500 days straight [up to almost 400 weeks ] of running, began with simple yet profound steps, pushing him through a 3,061-mile and 84-day distance run across the country. Sidibe started out running for the first 200 days in Nike Roche runs

Sadibe’s [not pictured] journey exemplifies the intersection of athleticism and fashion, where ... [+] practicality meets personal expression on the track or the streets.

He would then be lacing up his Hoka shoes and hitting the pavement on his own until Hoka recognized his talent and connected with him. Since then, he has switched to various Hoka models, including the Cielo, Mach 6 , and the newer high-foam Rocket X2 , each enhancing his performance and pushing his limits further.

To optimize his running experience, Sidibe pays careful attention to his attire, donning running short leggings and shorts with tights or half tights, often layering compression tights underneath for added support and aerodynamic advantage. His mantra is to size down, opting for minimalistic apparel to reduce drag caused by loose fabric weighed down by sweat.

In his pursuit of excellence, Sidibe equips himself with essential accessories, including four watches to track his progress and ensure safety during his runs. His selection of smartwatches includes the Whoop 4.0 watch and the Apple Watch, both serving as reliable companions that not only monitor his performance but also offer safety features like emergency calls.

For longer runs and adverse weather conditions, Sidibe relies on additional gear such as a running jacket and a longer-sleeve runner shirt with thumb holes, providing protection and comfort throughout his journey. Yet, amidst the advancements in technology and gear, Sidibe remains grounded in his belief that the most crucial element for a runner is a good pair of shoes, emphasizing their significance for one's livelihood and well-being.

Hoka soles experiment with running technology designed to enhance performance.

The Speedgoat 5 GTX Spike provides enhanced traction and durability for trail runners and hikers, with features like lay-flat gusseted tongue construction and a rubber toe cap. The Skyward X offers a plush and smooth ride for everyday runs, featuring a convex carbon fiber plate for softness and comfort. The Cielo X1 , designed for speed and races, boasts dynamic cutouts and a winged carbon fiber plate for maximum energy return.

HOKA products like the Hike Pack provide a versatile and lightweight pack for gearing up for trail runs, designed to blur the lines between a run vest and a hiking pack. With 13 liters of interior space, it offers ample storage for outdoor adventures, including easy access to front chest straps for soft flasks, multiple nutrition pockets, a safety whistle, and even a laptop compartment.

Made from light and durable ripstop nylon with water repellency treatment, the Hike Pack features a double zipper main compartment, top pocket compartment, front pocket compartment, water bottle holder, stretch mesh pocket, and adjustable straps for a customized fit. The Flight Ultra Belt, part of HOKA's pinnacle apparel collection geared for the UTMB Mont-Blanc, offers a lightweight alternative to standard backpacks.

The lightweight stretch woven fabric has durable water repellency and includes smart pockets for nutrition and bungee loops for attaching race bibs or hiking poles. The Adventure Hat is a technical bucket-style trekking hat designed for maximum breathability and all-day sun protection, featuring an adjustable back buckle strap, flexible brim, and breathable mesh.

Hoka Skyward X shoes.

The Race Day Knee-High Sock provides graduated compression for targeted support during runs, equipped with a cushioned toe and heel, silicone grippers, and a reflective bird logo. Most important to runners nowadays is the NovaFly Half Tight which offers a supportive, locked-in feel with drop-in and zippered thigh pockets, a pass-through pocket at the rear, and a clean-cut, raw bottom hem.

The Men's Shorts feature a 2-in-1 design with a supportive inner liner, ultra-stretchy woven exterior, mesh storage system, discreet zip pocket, and reflective HOKA logo. The Airolite Run Long Sleeve delivers superior breathability and moisture-wicking with quick-dry fabric, featuring a slim fit, anti-microbial treatment, thumbhole sleeve construction, and a reflective HOKA logo.

Sidibe's dedication to running transcends mere physical activity; it is a testament to his resilience and determination to inspire others. His run streak, which began on May 19th, 2017, has seen him cover an average of eight miles per run, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to the sport.

From his remarkable cross-country journey from Los Angeles to the East Coast, covering seven miles a day on average for 84 days, to his endurance feats in races exceeding 100 miles, Sidibe's running journey is a testament to the power of human determination and the transformative impact of embracing one's passion. As Sidibe continues to lace up his shoes and hit the road, his journey serves as a source of inspiration for runners and non-runners alike, reminding us that with dedication, perseverance, and the right pair of shoes, anything is possible on the road ahead.

17 Places to Visit in Moscow on a Budget

Looking for honest, low-cost tips on what to do in Moscow? Here is my suggestion on places to visit in Moscow, which I created during my three-month stay in this Russian metropole.

Before we jump to the top places to visit in Moscow let’s talk about the transportation you will need to use. Ideally, you should get a map of Moscow that includes the metro map. If you love to carry a printed version with you, I suggest getting the Lonely Planet Moscow Travel Guide that includes the metro map. If you are fine without it, you should at least download the offline version of Google Maps to make it easier to navigate in Moscow.

Without further ado, let’s dive into the best things to do in Moscow.

Table of Contents

1. Visit the Red Square

The Red Square is without a doubt the most iconic place to visit in Moscow. It is located in the heart of Moscow close to the metro station Ploshchad’ Revolyutsii (blue line) , surrounded by the Kremlin and the famous shopping center GUM.

From the Red Square you can also visit further points of interest such as the St. Basil’s Cathedral, Kremlin, the Lenin Mausoleum or the Bolshoi Moskevsky most , which is a great spot to take pictures from.

The Red Square is on top of the list of places to visit Moscow since you can’t skip this when doing some sightseeing in Moscow.

The St. Basil’s Cathedral is beautiful to look at but not as breathtaking from the inside. If you are on a budget it is not a “must-visit” place in Moscow.

2. Visit Lenin’s Mausoleum

Right in the middle of the Red Square, you will notice a strange building which will remind you on a pyramid. This is Lenin’s Mausoleum.

I highly recommend you to not skip this tourist attraction in Moscow. It’s an experience by itself. The area is surrounded by Russian soldiers which monitor every step you make.

Just make sure you are polite and show some respect when visiting Lenin’s Mausoleum.

There are no entry fees and it’s open daily from 10:00 to 13:00h. Be aware however that it is closed on Mondays and Fridays.

3. Try Russian Food at Teremok

The easiest and cheapest way to try local food is to go to the Russian fast food chain Teremok. You can find them everywhere. There is also one located close to Red Square.

It is a great opportunity to grab some food if you plan on taking the free walking tour , that ends right at Alexander’s Garden. Even if you like to explore Moscow on yourself. Alexander’s Garden is a great spot to watch the change of the guards, which might be of interest to you.

When it comes to Russian food I suggest you go for the Blini (Russian pancakes filled with various toppings) and Syrniki (Russian dessert made from cheesecake).

You can find the Teremok food court in the underground shopping mall next to the Alexander Garden. Learn more about the food I tried in Russia here.

4. Walk Through the City Center

The great things about Moscow city center are that you can walk to many points of interest by foot. Be aware however that the city center is quite big. Bring enough water with you to keep hydrated. Especially during the summer, it can get very hot.

From Alexander’s Garden, you can walk up the street to Bolshoi Theater and Tverskaya street. I personally enjoyed exploring the side streets where there isn’t too much traffic. You will find a lot of coffee places and local shops that will give you a sneak peek into Russian culture.

If you decide to visit the Bolshoi Theater you can view what’s being performed here . The tickets are usually around 3ooo rubles.

5. Walk to the Arbat Street

When exploring Moscow you should not miss the Arbat district with its icon Arbat street .

This one-kilometer long street belongs to the oldest streets in Moscow and is the place where you can spot local artist and musicians.

It is one of my favorite streets as it is for pedestrians only so you will not be bothered by any traffic. The best way to get there is by taking the metro blue line to Arbatskaja or walk from Red Square.

Click here to bookmark the location of Arbat street

6. Visit “Moscow City” the Highest Towers in Europe

If you want to admire some “modern” architecture, go see the Moscow city. It’s a complex of the highest skyscrapers in Europe. Apart from the skyscrapers, there is however not much to see.

If you have the budget and enjoy a nice view of the city you can visit the rooftop bar called, Sixty Bar which is located on the 60th floor in one of the towers at Moscow City. , The closest metro station to Moscow city is called Vystavochnaya (light blue line).

If you are on a tight time schedule, you can skip this attraction.

7. Visit VDNKH and the Museum of Cosmonautics

A place yo need to visit in Moscow is the VDNKH complex and the Museum of Cosmonautics. It is one of my favorite places to visit in Moscow.

The Museum of Cosmonautics tells the story behind Russian space exploration. You can also learn about the two dogs Belka and Strelka that made it to space. The entrance is only 200 rubles which is a good deal.

VDNKh is an amusement and exhibition park and in winter the home of the largest ice skating rink in Russia. The atmosphere at VDNKh is great.

Both points of interest are close to each other. The closest metro station is called Prospekt Mira.

Click here to bookmark the location of VDNKh

8. Visit Zarizyno Park

Moscow is full of beautiful parks, one of them is called Tsaritsyno. It’s located approximately one hour south of the city center. If you feel like escaping the noise of busy Moscow this is the place to relax and connect with nature.

You can get to Zarizyno Park with the green line all the way to the Metro Station Tsaritsyno.

Be aware that the visit of the Zarizyno Park will probably take you at least 4 to 5 hours as the park is quite big and it takes a while to get there.

Click here to bookmark the location of the Zarizyno-Park

9. Visit Kolomenskoye

Another place to visit in Moscow is the former royal estate complex called Kolomenskoye. This place is a bit off the beaten path and is usually not visited by many tourists. You can connect the visit with the above mentioned Zarizyno Park if you have some days left in Moscow and you need a break from the city center.

The walk around Kolomenskoye gives you a better impression of the Russian culture as it is located in one of Moscow’s suburbs.

Click here to bookmark the location of Kolomenskoye

10. Visit the Gorki Park the Riverside of Moskva

Closer to the city center, right next to the river Moskva you will find Gorki Park. In summer this spot is the place to go, relax, socialize and enjoy the vibes at the river. In winter it’s a great spot for ice skating.

It is a good place for a date as well :)

Click here to bookmark the location of Gorki Park

11. Watch an Ice Hockey Game

If you happen to be in Moscow around the ice hockey season you need to visit one of the games. A thing to do in Russia is to see a KHL ice hockey game.

The atmosphere is absolutely worth it. The tickets start at 200 rubles and you can buy it in front of the stadium or buy it online. View the schedule of upcoming games here .

Click here to bookmark the location of the VTB Arena

12. Visit the Moscow State University MGU

The building of the Lomonosov Moscow State University is one of the seven sisters, a group of seven skyscrapers which look the same. If you ever visit Moscow you will notice that there are few buildings which look alike.

This one is located south of the city close to the metro station Universitet and Vorobyovy Gory. You will need to walk for another 40 minutes from the metro station to get there.

The building is quite impressive, unfortunately, you can’t access it without a valid student ID, but you can enjoy the view over the city from the observation deck in front of it.

I would suggest visiting this place also only if you have more days to spare in Moscow as it’s quite far from other points of interest.

Click here to bookmark the location of the MGU

13. Izmaylovo Kremlin and Market

A place that you should however not skip is the Izmaylovo Kremlin.

Did you know that Moscow has more than one Kremlin? This one is located in the east at the metro station Partizanskaja (dark blue line).

I personally prefer this Kremlin over the one on Red Square, which is not worth visiting in my opinion. Izmaylovo Kremlin is however definitely a place to visit in Moscow.

At the Izmaylovo Kremlin, you can find a market where people sell various Russian products. It’s also a great place to buy some souvenirs for a much better price than in the center. Here you can always negotiate if you dare :)

Apart from the market, you need to try another Slavic specialty Shashlik, the best one I have had in Russia was here. The Izmaylovo Kremlin is a must-visit place in Moscow.

You can also walk through the nearby park from where you can have a quite impressive view on the Kremlin.

Click here to bookmark the location of the Izmaylovo Kremlin

14. Visit Krutitskoe Podvorye

Krutitskoe Podvorye is another off the beaten path attraction. It’s a historical building, built some 400 years ago although it looks much older.

It’s really impressive and worth the visit if you have time to spare in Moscow. It’s a few minutes walk from the metro station Proletarskaya (purple line).

Click here to bookmark the location of the Krutitskoe Podvorye

15. Explore Novodevichy Convent

Similar to the visit of Krutitskoe Podvorye Novodevichy Convent is also a place to visit if you have planned more time for Moscow. It is probably the best-known cloister in Moscow.

It’s interesting to look at and surrounded by a lake which creates a cozy atmosphere. From here you can also get a nice view of the skyline with the Moscow City in the background.

Click here to bookmark the location of the Novodevichy Convent

16. Cathedral of Christ the Saviour

The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour is by far the most impressive cathedral in Moscow. It’s gigantic and absolutely worth the visit.

You should definitely include it to your list of things to do in Moscow. It’s just a short walk from Kremlin and the entrance is free.

Click here to bookmark the location of the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour

17. Moscow’s Metro Tour

If you have not noticed yet, Moscow is also known for the most beautiful metro stations.

All of them are unique in their own way. My favorite is the Mayakovskaya station (dark green line).

You can read more about metro sightseeing in Moscow in my post about Metro sightseeing in Moscow . If you happen to be in Moscow on a rainy weekend, driving around and do some sightseeing of Moscow’s metro station can be a fun thing to do. During the week it’s mostly too crowded to be able to even take a picture of the metro station.

If you are intersted in to learn about the stories of Moscow’s metro, I suggest you book a guided tour. 

Planning a short trip to Moscow?

As you can imagine, to visit all of the above-mentioned places in Moscow is not possible within a few days. If you plan to stay in Moscow just for about three to four days these are the places you need to visit in Moscow.

Places to visit in Moscow in three days:

• Red Square, Alexander’s Garden, Lenin’s Mausoleum, Cathedral of the Christ the Saviour
• Izmaylovo Kremlin and Market, Gorki park, Arbat street
• VDNKH and the Museum of Cosmonautics

Here are a few suggestions for accommodation for your trip to Moscow:

Hostels from 8,76 EUR per night: Godzillas Hostel / Vagabond Hostel / Kremlin Lights

Mid-Range from 61 EUR per night: Holiday Inn Moscow Sokolniki / Vega Izmailovo Hotel & Convention Center / Moscow Point – Red October

Luxury from 99 EUR per night: Crowne Plaza Moscow World Trade Centre / Hotel Sadovnicheskaya / Savoy

This post about things to do in Moscow covers the most interesting places I have visited during my three months stay in Moscow.

What I love about this city is that most of the activities are for free compared to many other western cities where you need a much higher budget.

Travelers who only have a few hours to explore Moscow should book a tour to get the most of their time. This Moscow Tour covers all the major sights of the city in one day.

I did 15 out of 17 and can say, that everything is worth seeing. Nice list :-)

Thanks Markus, I am glad you enjoyed it :)

Wow, Moscow has so much to offer! :) I bet some of those things are free of charge. Me and Cez are planning to visit the city this summer. We would definitely visit the Gorky Park and walk at the riverside of Moskva :)!

indeed Agness :) be sure to plan a longer stay, Moscow is huge and it takes quite some time to see everything, if you have the time also check out St. Petersburg, you can get there by train (cheap if you book in advance) if you need some help with that let me know :)

Wow! Moscow looks beautiful, I have always wanted to visit Russia. St. Petersburg in particular. One day… Thanks for sharing your journey

You are welcome Shelly, I am glad you like it, St. Petersburg is great, you will love it. I have also published a post about Things to do in St. Petersburg feel free to check it out if you want :)

Thank you for a nice list. I really hope to be able to visit Moscow one day soon :)

Glad I could help you out :)

By chance we found the Cosmonautic Museum is free on the 3rd Sunday in every month. Moscow is just unbelievable…I need to go back to see more.

I did not know that, thanks for your comment, I am glad you enjoyed the city :)

Thank you for the article. These are all I want to see in Moscow. I am sure I will like their food.

You are welcome Kishor, my favorite food experience was at Izmaylovo Kreml, go for saslik :)

So many architectural gems! Even their metros look like art galleries. Will totally use these recommendations, thanks!!

Thanks for the interesting and helpful article. I am in Moscow right now with my teenage son and we’re looking for more things to do. Now we have few more ideas! Thank you!

You are welcome Joanna, enjoy the trip :)

I am gonna visit Moscow this June. But I will be there for only 5 days. I don’t think I will be able to cover it all in just 5 days. So, which ones are must visit places out of these? I am curious. And are there any places where we can interact with the locals and experience true Russian culture? Thanks for this post though! I am very excited!

Hi Lakshya, 5 days is indeed to short for Moscow. It takes at least two weeks to explore the city (visit the main points of interest). Definitely check out the (day 1) red square, mausoleaum, (day 2) vdnkh, (day 3) Izmaylovo Kremlin, (day 4) Arbatskaya street. While moving through the city you will have the chance to explore the Metro stations as well (better on the weekends when it’s not that busy). Also check out one of their “Anti-cafe” concepts such as the one called Ziferblat :)

Very interesting & informative. Plan to visiting Russia end of December this year. 5 days Moscow, 4 days St. Petersburg, and 5 days Murmanks. Thanks 🙏❤

Hope you will enjoy it! Don’t forget to get some shashlik ;)
