About Moscow Vibes

Moscow Vibes is an independent English-language travel guide dedicated to Moscow, Russia. We create practical travel information for international visitors who want to explore the city and organise their own trips.

Our aim is to help travellers find clear answers to everyday questions: what to see, how to get around, where to eat and stay, which places are worth considering and what to know before visiting.

We focus on useful information, straightforward explanations and destinations that are relevant to travellers, particularly those visiting Moscow for the first time.

Who Runs It

Moscow Vibes is operated by Erdal Özcan from Germany.

The website is an independent travel information project. It is not an official tourism authority, government publication, travel agency or booking service.

How We Work

Our articles are prepared with the assistance of AI tools and checked according to the editorial process described in our Editorial Policy.

We use structured information to organise articles and make guides easier to read and compare. Automated quality checks help identify problems such as missing information, duplicated text, broken links and technical inconsistencies.

We prefer official sources for important visitor information, including opening hours, admission conditions, access arrangements and transport rules. Hotels, restaurants and shops are checked for continued operation before publication.

Our editor also reviews content manually, prioritising frequently visited destinations, sensitive subjects and reported problems.

AI-assisted content may contain mistakes. Our editorial checks help reduce errors, but they cannot guarantee that every detail is correct or current.

Some main images are AI-generated illustrations and are labelled accordingly. These images are intended to illustrate destinations and may not show places exactly as they appear in reality.

We do not claim to have personally visited every destination described on Moscow Vibes.

Readers can help us improve our guides by reporting incorrect or outdated information. We review reported problems and correct confirmed errors as appropriate.

Further information about our research, AI-assisted drafting, editorial review and correction procedures is available in our Editorial Policy.
