About Moscow

Moscow, the capital of Russia and administrative center of the Central Federal District, is a federal subject distinct from the Moscow Region. With over 13 million residents across 2,562 km², it’s Europe’s largest city by population and area, and the core of a 17-million-strong metropolitan agglomeration.

Founded in 1147 by Prince Yuri Dolgoruky, Moscow is Russia’s historic, political, cultural, and spiritual heart, bordering the Moscow Region and Kaluga Region to the southwest. The city boasts over 120 parks, countless world-class museums, and a wealth of architectural treasures.

Climate

Moscow enjoys a temperate continental climate with warm, humid summers and cold, snowy winters. July, the warmest month, averages 20°C, while January, the coldest, averages -6.2°C. Influenced by Atlantic and Mediterranean cyclones, the city sees about 720 mm of annual precipitation, with heavier rainfall in summer and fall.

Expect occasional thunderstorms, heavy showers, or even rare hurricanes and tornadoes. Winters bring snow and occasional thaws, with temperatures fluctuating rapidly due to Moscow’s central location on the East European Plain.
