Day four is the north: the Ostankino Tower and VDNKh stand together, and Sokolniki is 20–30 minutes away by transport. Ostankino comes first: you must arrive an hour before your session, and weekday morning sessions are cheaper. VDNKh comes after lunch: the highlights take about three hours. ## Ostankino Tower: what to know Tickets are sold by session, daily 10:00–22:00: 1,900 ₽ on weekdays, 1,500 ₽ for the 10:00 and 11:00 sessions. Every visitor needs an original passport. No food, drinks, scooters or luggage larger than 50×60×30 cm. ## VDNKh in half a day Entry is free and open around the clock; you pay only for pavilions. A free circular bus runs from the main entrance arch 9:00–21:00. The Cosmonautics and Aviation pavilion is 700 ₽ and closed on Mondays. ## Can I swap the days? Yes: each day is its own area. Keep the Kremlin off Thursday and the Tretyakov off Monday. ## Tips - Arrive at the Ostankino Tower an hour before your session: security and passes take time. - The Cosmonautics and Aviation pavilion at VDNKh is closed on Mondays. - Check the days of the week: the Kremlin is closed on Thursdays, the Tretyakov Gallery on Mondays, St Basil's on the first Wednesday of the month. - A 3-day unlimited metro ticket is 800 ₽; for the fourth day take a 1-day ticket for 415 ₽ or pay per ride. - Russia uses the rouble (₽). Bank cards issued abroad usually do not work in Russia — plan how you will pay before the trip; for the metro, buy a Troika card at the ticket office. ## Questions ### Is 4 days in Moscow enough?
