Moscow Improves Infrastructure to Attract Indian Tourists

Hey everyone! Did you know Moscow is rolling out upgrades just for Indians? Today we'll see how the city is making visits smoother, friendlier, and more fun for Indian tourists. First up, e-visas. Indians can now apply online for a Russian e-visa, allowing stays for up to 30 days. They've even extended visa validity to 120 days. Moscow is investing heavily in visitor-friendly infrastructure. Think multilingual signs in airports, metros, and train stations. They're hiring more English-speaking staff in tourist zones. More currency exchange counters plus e-payment solutions are being rolled out to make spending easier. Transport is also getting a boost. Expansion of metro lines, more buses and trolleys. Moscow is also partnering with Indian travel agents to offer special packages. And the city is promoting its top attractions, the Kremlin, Red Square, Bolshoi Theatre, Tretyakov Gallery, plus its vibrant nightlife, shopping, and unique Russian cuisine. With these changes, Indian tourist arrivals to Moscow are already rising, and that trend is expected to grow.
